We spent two weeks in the German and Austrian Alps, and my family and I agree that the Eibsee-Alm was the best restaurant we visited. To be clear, we stayed with German friends for a week, so we went to great local restaurants and didn't do only touristy restaurants. This one could be considered a little touristy for the fact that it's close to the very popular Eibsee (an unbelievably beautiful alpine lake with crystal-clear teal water). However, it's a little hidden and up the hill, so it wasn't nearly as busy as the more touristy restaurant that's located right on the lake.
The view of the mountains and meadows was beautiful, and the food was outstanding. I had the Schweinebraten with potato dumplings. It was the best one I had on the whole trip (I had this dish about 7 or 8 times during our vacation). The crackling was perfectly crispy, the beer sauce flavorful, and the dumplings were just how I like them - stretchy. My wife had the Wiener schnitzel and agreed it was one of the best of the trip. My son had a Weiss wurst, and again, one of the best. To top it off, we finished with an Apple strudel that disappeared in a flash.
Finally, the service was great. The waiter had a fun personality and really engaged our son. That was the icing on the cake that made this our favorite restaurant (of many great ones). read more
