This is a wonderful old school German/Austrian style restaurant. The type of place my German father sought out when I was young and it certainly brought me back. The potatoes on the side were made with German speck and taste exactly as I knew them. The portions were hearty and we all cleared our plates without question. While there's no dedicated children's menu, a standard schnitzel should satisfy most kids palates, mine loved the spaezel and the charcuterie board was devoured by adults and children alike. The breads are very European, such as rye. Not for everyone, but fresh and tasty. What I really appreciated here was the owner making his rounds, having conversations with his regulars, making new customers feel welcomed and keeping traditions alive. You don't get that so often anymore, it's more about creativity, fusion, new, ratings etc. This was a traditional experience with delicious food and I will definately be back. Be warned, they're popular so you'll need to book in advance and they're old school, so call and leave a message! Worth it! read more

Went for Valentine's Day dinner. It was delicious and our server, Magda was awesome! We had the ceasar salad, cheese spatzle & weiner schnitzel. Very good cider & weissbier too. The live music was great! Highly recommend for a fun date nite. read more

On my last visit to Vancouver, my sister mentioned this place in North Vancouver so we decided to try it one evening and I'm glad we did. Make sure you make reservations because this place gets packed often. Located off the main road of lower North Vancouver, the restaurant is decently sized however they fit a ton of tables in the space so you may be cozy with some other tables. Nevertheless, the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately on this evening we went, they were understaffed and we spent more time waiting for a server than we spent eating. We understood their situation and remained patient a they were polite and welcoming the entire time. Food was so good and every single part of the dishes had tons of flavour. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked and moist and the potatoes and cabbage were seasoned well. It was a decently large serving so I saved half for the next day. Just have to say the schnitzel was just as good the next day! Will return when I'm back in North Van! read more

The food, service, bier and schnapps were awesome! The hosts were extremely welcoming and as I watched their interactions with the other diners, I couldn't help but smile. If we're ever in Vancouver again, Jägerhof will definitely be on the agenda! read more

Price/quality (4/4): I got the Jagerschnitzel and it was great. It's hard to find a good schnitzel in Vancouver, especially since Bauhaus closed, but this one really hit the spot. In fact, it reminded me of the schnitzel that I had in Vienna all those years ago. The ambiance probably helped. Service (1/1): Service was friendly and effective. Would I come here again: Yes read more

Jägerhof Restaurant - Jägerschnitzel - German Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

I have to admit, I liked my schnitzel better at Jägerhof than in Vienna. This is definitely a restaurant my family loves coming to because of the cosy and unique environment that makes you feel like you could be in a restaurant in Germany, Switzerland, or Austria. The schnitzel always comes hot, juicy and crispy. If I can, I'll always try to get the Spatzle or the red cabbage. Lately when I've been going, I've been ordering the dolce brusco schnitzel, because I really like the berry sauce that it comes with that just compliments, the schnitzel really nicely. I also really like the one that comes with mushroom sauce, which I believe is the hunter schnitzel Don't bother showing up on a weekend thinking you can get in without a reservation. Make sure you call ahead of time to make a reservation and not during their dinner service as they don't answer the phone then. Service is always wonderful despite how packed it is and they have a great selection of European wines and beers. The desserts are also pretty great. The only dish that I could use a bit of improvement is the beef roulade. I haven't had it in a while but it was a bit more dry than I had expected it the time I tried it. read more

The service was very good, the food was tasty but the music was too loud. And we were packed in very tightly. Thankfully, we were seated away from the piano ,otherwise we couldn't have carried on a conversation at all. Because of the volume, diners were speaking louder than normal. Obviously, patrons like this as the place was very busy. read more

Decent enough overall experience. Friendly service, and good food. Prices are IMHO a bit of a premium for what you actually get, but I suppose the unique experience of a German restaurant is the justification. read more

What a find! This small, family-run restaurant tucked between the towers of North Vancouver was a gem. Outstanding beer and wine list complemented the authentic German menu perfectly. Friendly owner and waitstaff, delicious schnitzel, and live entertainment made for a memorable Friday evening. If you plan to go (and you should!), I would strongly recommend reservations (you must phone...no on-line reservation system). This place fills up fast! read more

Nice atmosphere but very busy so reservation is high recommended. Call for reservation. Super friendly and attentive staff. Love music on Friday and I believe Saturday evenings. Lots of choices for food, drinks, and desserts. Authentic food with good texture and taste. More restaurant style in terms of heavier and larger portion but I personally prefer more intimate and home style of Germany or European food where it's on the lighter side like The Tannenbaum in Westminster. Street parking around the area of this restaurant but can be very busy so do come 10-15 minutes earlier than your reservation. Lots of other restaurants and shops around and good area for a evening walk after. read more

To have a special New Year's Eve dinner, we drove all the way out to the Jägerhof Restaurant in North Vancouver. The restaurant opened at 5 p.m. and by that time, where were already a throng of patrons waiting at the door, all whom had made reservations. As soon as I entered, I was enamored with this cute little German-style restaurant. It was almost like stepping back in time, compared with the temporary restaurants just next door. The boyfriend chose a specialized Smokey Beer that made me wish I had been smart enough to try that drink too. It was hard to describe, but tasted like Smoked Ham in a beer bottle (tastes better than it sounds). For the appetizer, we had the ALPINE CHARCUTERIE PLATE. A lovely shareable option for two people with bread, cheeses, two types of meats, a little bit of fruit, and butter and salt. For the entrée, the boyfriend chose the BEEF ROULADEN and I had the ZÜRICHER GESCHNETZELTES/CHICKEN ZURICHOISE. Neither was a dish we could pronounce, but our waiter had a good laugh with us and assured me that no-one could pronounce my chicken dish anyhow. It was an interesting choice of dishes, and I'm glad I didn't go a Schnitzel dish and tried something new. For dessert, we went with the house special: gingerbread cookies, eggnog ice-cream and hot chocolate sauce. I'm not a huge fan of eggnog, but I loved the gingerbread cookies (not too sweat) and warm chocolate sauce was a great accompaniment. One of the most memorable parts of the evening was the surprise: live music! We had two musicians arrive halfway through our meal and played Christmas and old timey songs. Having dined in many restaurants where patrons just eat and let the music play, it was heartwarming to see and hear the entire restaurant break out into applause after each song was finished. read more

I came here for dinner last night with a friend. We waited a few minutes before the restaurant opened for dinner at 5pm, and although a line was already forming, we were the 2nd group to go in. The male staff member greeting people at the door asked us if we had a reservation and since we did not, he asked us to stand by the piano. The next group that came in was a Caucasian couple who were asked the same question, yet even though they did not have a reservation either, they were promptly seated. I don't know why we were treated any differently when it was the same exact situation. It was only upon getting the attention of one of the female staff members and letting her know that happened, that the host came back and finally gave us a table. He did not offer any apology or explanation for what had taken place earlier, but just took some floral decorations from the next table over and said "here's a flower for you." and set it down at our table. The food is decent but the lackluster service and microaggression that we experienced when we walked in was disappointing, and I probably will not be returning for some time as there are other restaurants in the area. read more

Small quaint restaurant in lower lonsdale. Food was great. I do recommend this authentic Bavarian style restaurant. When we went there on a Friday night they had live music too. The waitress we had was extremely friendly and nice. The only drawback was lack of ventilation and AC in this place especially if you decide to go on a hot summer day. read more

I grew up in Germany as a kid, specifically in Bavaria. I've had a craving for good schnitzel and saw pictures on Yelp so we decided to come try this place and thankfully it did not disappoint. Delicious jagerschnitzel! The mushroom sauce is very creamy and reminds me of rahmschnitzel. I normally don't like red cabbage but this one was flavorful but not too bitter or vinegary. The fried potatoes were part crispy and soft, yum! We also had a Caesar salad and the croutons tasted homemade. My child devoured the bread, charcuterie board and a bratwurst. We also shared a slice of cheesecake. Wasn't fast enough to take pictures of anything except the schnitzel. read more

Jägerhof Restaurant - Jaeger schnitzel (mushroom sauce on the side), served with red cabbage and potatoes - German Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

What a super fun little German restaurant! We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was jam packed with a live band. Tables are packed pretty tightly together, but the vibe is fun and it almost feels like you're in Germany. They have a pretty extensive list of German beers and the usual German fare. I thought the food was really good and portion sizes were decent. The sausage and jagerschnitzel dishes were fabulous and the mushroom sauce was delectable. Would love to come back and try one of the platters! read more

Lovely, sweet nice little cozy place to feel the German spirit! We loved the food and the service. The food is little pricey but it's a place for special occasions. read more

This lively little restaurant embraces all that is fun about a German restaurant and the food is AMAZING. An Antique piano & well seasoned piano player, along with the efficient and pleasant staff, make for a welcoming atmosphere filled with music, laughter and conversation. The schnitzel was incredible, cooked to perfection-tender and crispy. Spätzle was also done perfectly. Authentic German food with very generous portions! We had the pflaumenkuchen for desert that was also just as tasty as the main course! A plum base with mixed fruit on a lovely pastry, served with both whipped cream and ice cream. This is a great restaurant for a celebration with family/friends or if you are looking for a fun night out, I highly recommend. #Drdadson #Doctordadson #Drmikedadson #Langleycounselling #counsellor read more

Service- 7/10, Food- 3/10. Beer Variety- 9/10. SCHNITZEL(petite)-Tasted like Pork as it was Dry and tough 2/10 (i paid $2+ for the Chicken Option they offered), the sides were ok, potatoes-delicious 7/10. *Mushroom sauce, thick & had a crusty gooey layer on top. 2/10. Manager/owner asked to offer alternative but it didnt seem Sincere. He took the plate in the kitchen and brought the same schnitzel back, heated it up and added sides- i didnt feel comfortable with that and I didnt conplain. (just get me out of here) Complete Disappointment as Ive been meaning to try this place for years, i had Much Higher expectations and Craving it since last week when we walked by. read more

I have been coming to Jägerhof since before Chris took over a few years ago, and I am still coming in for excellent food. Since taking over, Christopher has cleaned the place up, as well as improved and expanded the menu. He is now offering a selection of dishes from Germany, Austria, and more. The food is always excellent and the prices reasonable. Make a reservation as it's packed nightly. I definitely recommend the platter. It's my go to. Pair it with a good German beer and you can't go wrong. read more

Excellent food and even better service. Dining experiences like Jagerhof are exactly why I have a soft spot for small, family run businesses. Absolutely beautiful food - we ordered the Swiss Rosti and Schnitzel. Our server was attentive and warm without being intrusive. We loved the live pianist as he enhanced the quaint Bavarian atmosphere. read more

Food was authentic and delicious. Atmosphere is great and full of energy. However, it took almost an hour for our drinks to come and it was very hard to get the attention of our server. I would try to go at the least busy time you can for the best experience (it will still be busy, just not crazy busy). read more

When you walk in, it feels like you're in Germany. The beer list is good, the menu looks good and even the music is ok. I ordered the cordon bleu schnitzel. It arrived in record speed. The portion was great! The flavour however was non existent. Salt and Pepper are not something they seemed to have thought of when cooking. It tasted like nothing. The best part were the potatoes on the side. I get that people phone in to make reservations or maybe place an order for pick up or delivery but the ring is so loud that it's disrespectful to those who are actually there to dine in. There seemed to be one server and the place was getting very busy. She seemed overwhelmed but always had a smile on her face. I would not recommend this place for German food. I left feeling sad at what the world of food has become. read more

This place is fantastic. The real deal. It reminded me of actually German restaurants I have visited. Everything was delicious and the service was great! Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I found this place while looking up restaurants online and were so glad we did! He's lived in Switzerland and missed the food there so we gave this place a try. We called ahead to make reservations and were given the option to come at two different times since it wasn't super busy on a weeknight. We ordered the soup that was part of their special (French onion without the cheese) and it was great! We ordered a cup and the portion was more like a bowl. My husband ordered the Rosti with smoked salmon and I kept reaching for more of his rosti. I ordered the chicken dish with spatzle and the sauce was soooo delicious! I'd never had spatzle before and am not an adventurous eater but was pleasantly surprised. The place was so cozy we felt like we were in a quaint restaurant in Europe again. There were a group of German students eating and drinking there and we noticed the owner was speaking to them in German. Both he and the waitress were very kind and attentive. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in town! read more

My boyfriend and I have been here multiple times. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff are all very friendly and easy going, and the food/ drinks are great. When I walk into the restaurant, it feels like I'm walking into a (very german) family dinner when I was young. Highly recommend the Black Forest Cake and Pork Hocks! read more

This is not light, trendy, or terribly convenient if you live "over town" (Vancouver and environs, in North Shore parlance). It is quirky, unique, and strangely romantic - if you're the kind of person who enjoys taxidermy and Wes Anderson films. The decor (and the service) are a source of endless conversation. Sometimes there is live polka music. the drink menu offers, among other things, a beer which professes to be the oldest beer in the world. I tried it, and subsequently decided to stick with beer from this century. The service is weird but charming, like the rest of the Jagerhof experience. Platters with a variety of German meat specialties are a great way to get acquainted with German cuisine. The Jagerhof does particularly well with sausages. The wine braised cabbage is richer and butterier than any other cabbage I've had. The breading on the schnitzel is perfectly light and crisp. Portions are extremely generous. If you somehow still have room for it, the chocolate mousse is light, intensely chocolately, and big enough to share. More old world charm than the other German places I've tried in Vancouver. Don't bring a vegetarian here if you're hoping for a subsequent date. Be sure to make a reservation, particularly for Friday or Saturday nights. read more

Good service and eats here. We tried the Alpine charcuterie platter, cordon Bleu schnitzel and the goat cheese salad. So much food we couldn't save room for dessert there read more

The small, warm and homey (if your home is in the Alps) local is at its best on a cold winter evening. The walls are lined with Bavarian bric-a-brack and live music plays many evenings and weekend lunches. The meals are home style Alpine and range from the more typical meat, cheese and sauerkraut dishes (but I strongly recommend side of red cabbage) to regional specialities like Rösti, Spatzle and more. I wish I could say I've tried a lot on the menu, but the truth is my favourites are the Jägerschnitzel (mushroom sauce) or if I'm really hungry the Schwienshaxe. The other items on the menu all look good, but by the time I leave home, I've already made up my mind and cannot be dissuaded. Don't forget a schnapps to cap off a great meal and fortify yourself for the winter walk home. read more

After walking past this place a million times and constantly meaning to try it I realised it would be the perfect place for a Christmas get together. With such a large group we have struggled previously to find restaurants that can accommodate us so I wasn't hopeful but when I rang to book the owner was very friendly and had no issues with our group size, we didn't even have to order a set menu (which I find often is not as enjoyable as being able to pick what you would like!) As soon as we arrived we knew we were going to have a wonderful evening, the welcome was incredibly friendly and they had some lovely live music (always a bonus!) The service was above and beyond, our server Magda was super lovely and attentive and did not seem phased by such a large group size one bit. The food came out in good time and everyone agreed it was all delicious. I could eat the spätzle every day!! At the end of the meal the owner Christopher came out to greet us all and explain his passion for the restaurant and made us feel even more welcome than we already did. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in making it such a pleasant and fun evening, I know many of us are looking forward to returning as soon as possible and I will be recommending it to others that have yet to visit! read more

The only complaint I have about Jagerhof is that sometimes when I just show up they are too busy and I can't get in. Very much enjoy the food; best sauerkraut in Vancouver. Oh, and another complaint... no fondue on menu (that is Swiss, correct?). Okay, seriously, really love this place. You should go (but not on a night when I want to go, ok?) read more

I went here for the first time. The place is very romantic. Well mannered waitresses. I ordered the Jagerhof platter. It was awesome. The pork was very delicious. The sausage was so good that I wish I had two of em in my plate. The fried potatoes were so tasty and lovely. I also liked the schnitzel alot. It was the best schnitzel I have ever had. The only thing is the manager was a bit rude. Otherwise, everything was so beautiful and romantic. The music was very much relaxing and went with the tone of the restaurant. read more

Great food, good service, very quaint and homely feel. Pianist sometimes there playing and singing, great atmosphere

Just wanted to touch on the reviews that are claiming the owner is homophobic and actively ripped down pride flags. The owner is such a genuinely nice human being. He wasn't aware it was pride week, and was taking down what he thought was debris in the trees outside his restaurant. He admits to losing his cool after being confronted, but so would I if I was ambushed by angry people accusing me of being homophobic without any idea why. He then went on to donate to to the North Shore Pride Alliance and has been decorating the trees and neighbourhood with Pride decor since. The people writing these hateful reviews about him were so quick to jump on the hate train, they didn't stop to try and understand the situation first. Shame on them. read more

Commuting from Burnaby to North Vancouver for some of Jagerhof's food is something I never blink about. I wish I could give this place more than five stars! This is a LITERAL hole in the wall. If you don't have your eyes peeled you may walk right past it. It is very small, but warm and welcoming inside. Due to its size and the quality of the food, reservations are recommended, as it can get crowded fast. All their portions are humongous, and everything I've tried is absolutely heavenly. Others I've spoken to said that this is some of the most authentic schnitzel they've found in restaurants outside of Europe - crispy and not greasy. My favorite is the Florentine schnitzel - cheese and spinach stuffed schnitzel with a cream sauce. Smooth, rich, indulgent, AMAZING. I can't describe it better than that, you just need to try. I even love their sauerkraut, which I've recoiled from in the past. If you come here in the winter months, make sure to have their gluh wine... but beware, as your bill will get very pricy as you'll be asking for more and more! read more

Jagerhof changed ownership a few years ago. We've been back a few times since it used to be one of our favorite restaurants. The new owner is such a genuinely nice gentleman and the staff are very good. The menu has changed quite a bit and unfortunately for us we do not care for the changes. There used to be a more extensive menu and we personally found that we liked the food better under the former owners. The preparation and taste of the meals was just better. The other evening we shared the special appetizer - warm goat cheese with fresh basil, cherry tomatoes and crostini. It was delicious. For entrees my husband had the schnitzel cordon bleu and I had the Jager schnitzel. I liked the fact that they put the sauce in a little gravy boat so that the schnitzel did not get soggy. I found the schnitzel itself to be a bit tough and dry. There are other places that we enjoy more for German food so having tried Jagerhof a few times under the new management we would not return. They are a very busy restaurant so it is mandatory to make reservations. The pianist was playing the evening that we were there so it certainly is a nice accoutrement to the ambiance. read more
