While tourists and locals alike make their way to Hahndorf Inn or German Arms, we often come here instead. The feed is just as good and satisfying. Their menu offers all the German cuisine you went to Hahndorf for ranging from the great German Platter to a giant pork hock or huge hot dogs. We ordered the German platter to share today, with four types of sausages, a kassler chop, bread roll, sauerkraut, caramelised onions and potatoes it was a feast too big for both of us (despite my husband having seemingly endless room in his stomach as it is). We sat outside on the decking area but if you want a cosy feel the dark wood, fireplace and all can be found inside. Staff are friendly and service is good, we had our dog with us and they offered to bring a bowl of water out for him.

It was an interesting visit during which we had the feeling that the staff wanted to finish up for the day (it was just after 3pm but admittedly it was a public holiday so the whole township had been busy all day). The hot drinks & cakes were tasty but none stood out as a clear winner. I'd be interested in trying this place out again on a quieter day (or at least in the morning).

And the German Arms has tables set up out front on the wide sidewalk. You do need to step inside first to place your order and pay. Just let them know you are sitting outside. Staff brings everything out. Its a German restaurant, so of course you have to try the chicken schnitzel. It thin and tender, with the perfect crispy fried coating, served with chips. The pork belly and red cabbage was devine. The apple cider candied coating on the pork was sweet, gooey and savory all at once. And the red cabbage nicely flavored. It paired well with a local Pinot wine. In this area you must go local when ordering a drink. Regrets- no room for dessert. Staff was great. Limited street parking. But I came by Uber and was walking the town.

You see, Hahndorf is basically a German village in the Adelaide Hills, so this pub, well, it sells German beer. Actually, the selection of German beers here is absolutely amazing.

It cost $99. First was wagu croquette, basically a crumbed mushy puree, then salty and pepper squid, which was okay, then overcooked whiting dripping in grease, a mediocre salad of winter vegetables, some chips and overcooked roast potato portions. Also a small plate of sliced wagu to share. No desserts, no cheeses, no coffee, no choices. And there goes $99 Per person. Having said that the service was good. If it did not have the beachfront location you wouldn't bother.

While it is pretty casual inside the food is much more than you might expect from what looks like a shack on the beach. We enjoyed the fish of the day, grilled served with a few chips and salad. We also shared a tomato salad entree and some bread. Food was fresh, high quality and perfectly prepared. Portions were very reasonable - this is not a place where you need to order an appetizer instead of a main course to avoid over eating. Service was very warm and welcoming and you just can't beat the view. If you want to eat inside away from the heat, advance reservations are essential. Recommended.

We had a duo of German sausages served on top of mashed potatoes, with a bit of sauerkraut on the side and a couple of mustards. The other meal we shared was the Vienna schnitzel, with a few French fries, a little greens salad, and a side of mushroom gravy. Everything was delightful and tasty, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Looking out over the main street through town, with beautiful autumn colors on the leaves, was wonderful.

There is evidence that some effort went into the redesign of the deli, but it feels unfinished and has done for many months. The staff, with a few exceptions, seem preoccupied and easily confused. The menu is quite good for a small shop, and I've had a few good meals here but they'll need to improve on consistency to compete with the many tasty and often cheaper options just down the road in Stirling. Another important lesson yet to be learnt by the Crafers Gourmet Deli is that having "Gourmet" in your name does not mean you can charge a dollar more per pastry item (especially when you're selling the same Villi's and Balfours range as everyone else) Good for coffee, not much else. I look forward to seeing this business develop into the excellent deli it could be.

The saltiness of the mash overpowered the delicate flavours of the apricot and stuffing, but it was still a good meal. Chicken was tender and I had the happy feeling at the end. All that counts right? Lol Save room for desserts and coffee. They have a nice selection. The tiramisu is a good size to share with a friend. Go on....get your romance on.
