Ashlee D.

I was in the area with my family so we stopped here on a Friday around 4. We were seated right away, ordered and got our food within a few minutes, which is great since we have 2 young kids. I did take away 1 star for the kids menu prices which I found high. The kids chicken tenders and fries were $14. I feel like kids menu options should max around $10 imo. Besides that, all we ordered (hot wings, French onion soup, rodeo burger and kids cheeseburger and chicken tenders with fries), was delicious. I normally prefer saucy wings, which these weren't very saucy, but they still tasted good and were crispy. It was clean, the staff were all friendly and I would return sans kids in the future to have a drink at the hygge bar.

Wunderbar Schnitzel and Caesar Salad.
Pauline L.

The Wunderbar Schnitzel at the Wunderbar Bistro in Hudson was terrific. I've had veal schnitzel a few times, but the bistro makes theirs with pork. It came out light and crispy. Not greasy. It made for a very filling lunch. The entree came with a Caesar side salad which looked and tasted very fresh. The problem was that I asked for dressing on the side. It seems the server forgot. To my disappointment, there was too much dressing mixed in. I didn't send it back. I generally don't do that. Besides, it was busy. Despite it being around 2pm, there were still people arriving for lunch. I ate most of the salad, tapping off the excess dressing. Our orders were brought to us by someone who appeared to be busing tables. I'd asked for water and a cider when we arrived. I got the cider right away, but I didn't get the glass of water until just before we got the check. Our server didn't return until we were ready to leave. The service was spotty, otherwise, I would have given the bistro five stars. The half hour drive from the Capital District can be scenic. There are several routes you can take and plenty of available metered on-street parking during the week. As far as seating, the bistro has a friendly bar and plenty of tables. There's also a sense of whimsy with cartoon drawings on the walls and a light up "applause" sign hung over the kitchen door. The schnitzel certainly deserved an applause.

Came in here after walking around for the winterwalk and it was so good. Best burger and my son actually ate his dinner which was just pasta lol. Nice place and was right by our rental. I'd recommend this place while in the area, good service.

Flourless chocolate cake
Claudia L.

Had a lovely lunch with friends. The food was amazing - between us we had the Wunderbar schnitzel, the Parmesan schnitzel and the bacon Gouda hamburger. All were delicious! We finished up with some yummy desserts as well. This place had a fantastic ambience with warm lighting. I'm giving it three stars for two reasons: the service and the seating. While our server was pleasant, it took forever to take our order, get our food, get the check, and pay the bill. While the restaurant was pretty full when we arrived, by the time we were done eating it was pretty empty. The bus boy did a terrific job getting us everything we needed, but I had to ask the waitress twice for a drink, and then it didn't arrive until I was halfway done with my meal. We were also seated at a table of three with another table of four right behind us, and it was too tight, so people kept bumping into us as they went through the aisle instead of going all the way around the bar area which was frustrating. It's unfortunate because the food really was good!

Creme brûlée
Jennifer M.

Very tasty! They were able to seat us earlier than our reservation. Food was delicious!

Shannon T.

We had an excellent time for New Year's Eve dinner - loved that they had lots of specials but didn't force a pre fixe menu. We really enjoyed everything we got including the special piggy wings and key lime pie. The cocktails were fun and themed well for the winter and holidays. There was a small issue with the men's bathroom, but not taking off points as they fixed the situation super quickly and we overheard them fixing a reservation mistake a patron made as well. I'm confident they are on top of anything that comes up and would return in a heartbeat for the food and awesome service.

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Colleen N.

We had a great lunch here recently. 6 of us arrived on a Saturday around 1pm. There wasn't an open table, so we sat at the bar. They had an interesting selection of beer and cocktails. All of us enjoyed our food. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich (pic). The menu said the chicken was hand-breaded and it tasted like it! The prices were very reasonable. The staff was kind and attentive and the food came out very quickly. We recommend this restaurant!

Munich Schnitzel
Orrin E.

Winder bar is known for their schnitzel- so we had to try it. None of us were disappointed! The Munich was perfectly crispy and tender and paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes. (Full confession- I added a tablespoon of Mayo and s&p to the cucumber salad) which wasn't necessary but I make that salad at home a lot so it was a personal preference. lol. The French onion soup - which is my fav, was very good, too. The cheese balls were different but ok. Everyone else loved their schnitzel too. Our server Kiersten was awesome. We thought when we were seated in the back room that we'd be forgotten, but she was attentive and friendly and really made our dining experience memorable. Cocktails were great too, and we couldn't resist dessert (to-go) We all wanted the carrot cake but there were only 2 slices left so one of us opted for the apple cake. We swapped notes the next morning- we all loved our desserts. So much in fact, that we are all conspiring on when we can return. We get how this is a popular local spot. Highly recommend checking them out.

Bar side
Virna L.

The front staff saw us enter and had to seat the gentleman with a toddler ahead of us. After she sat them, knowing we were waiting, she had to chat with her colleague, prepare and served water and made us wait. She just took her time. Hmmmm. Laid back restaurant with that chill vibe. There were empty tables farther in and the bar was practically empty but was told that the booth closest to the entrance was the only available table. So, we took it. Food portions were generous. Flavor was there. It was not a disappointment. I would try other restaurants in the area for next time.

Farro salad
Nicole G.

Overall, everything that we ate was not good. We had the bacon wrapped shrimp which really just tasted like greasy, fishy, bacon wrapped around over cooked, rubbery shrimp. Would not recommend. I got the farro grain salad and the chickpeas weren't cooked all the way through. My bf had a burger with soggy French fries. The service was okay. The ambiance was similar to a slightly upscale Applebees. If you're out in Hudson, don't bother going here, there are so many better places on the same street.

Amazing burger. Topped with that beautiful bacon
Helen C.

This place has continued to impress us since we came last year. We would constantly talk about how good the French dip here was. When we arrived this trip we immediately went here. Unfortunately the French dip is no longer on the menu, but never fear because the Philly cheesesteak has come to take its place and it is fabulous! You can taste the beefy-ness of the meat. Really special. The burger was just as amazing. That is what I appreciate most about the amazing restaurants in Hudson. The ingredients are fantastic. As an aside. We have come three times in one week. Each time having fries in some capacity. The cheesesteak twice. The fries for some reason are so amazing. You taste the potato flavor deep in your taste buds. Not sure if it's the type of potato or the type of oil they use but these are some of the best fries I've had. I really really like these. They have two outdoor tables for seating. Most orders were for takeout. The inside is so beautiful can't wait for them to reopen the indoor dining!

Ask the Community - Wunderbar Bistro

Are you dog friendly? Looking to visit with a 35 pound well-behaved Irish Doodle for brunch! Thanks…

Yes. We are dog friendly. We would love to see your pup!

Do you allow small dogs?

Yes

Do u have gluten free as my grandson has celiac?

We absolutely do! We have gluten free bread, pasta and a variety of gluten free dietary options.

Do you have any seasonal winter beverages, like hot cider or mulled wine? Or are there any alcoholic beverages on your menu year round that are served hot? Thanks!

We do not have a mulled wine but we do have a lovely hot cider and of course our talented bartenders can do some pretty amazing things to coffee to make them alcoholic.

Is there a happy hour?

A lot of restaurants will have inflated drink prices and then give a discounted hour. We at Wunderbar keep our prices always competitive and lower than what those others charge. Short answer is no, we do not have a happy hour. Long answer is, yes,… 

Would you be able to accommodate for a rehearsal dinner?

Unfortunately we do not have the dining space for such a large group. I would recommend Helsinki. Ask for Austin. Good luck and congratulations.…

However they do deserve a five star rating because they are offering something different compared to any other place in Catskill. The place is called "The salad bar" however their sandwiches are just as good if not better than the salad. The ingredients are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. Prices are fair considering the quality and overall we need more places that are different and unique like this in the village. They have small cozy area for you to chill and enjoy your meal and the service is always quick and friendly. Many of the towns in the Hudson Valley have been revitalizing their downtown areas with great success but Catskill Village seems to be moving a lot slower compared to those other areas. The salad bar is one of those places that's helping it move forward.

"We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.

5/19/26: Stopped in for a quick lunch while in Hudson, NY. There's seating indoors and outdoors…read more Inside, the decor consists of old time murals from the 1800s. We sat at the bar. Shared an OG Chicken Sandwich $13. It was buttermilk fried chicken with tomato and lettuce on a roll. Sandwich was pretty tasty. Service was just average. Otherwise, I would've given it four stars. Only a few people appear to have ordered food here. Basically, the place appears to be a watering hole. Only app.metered parking in the area.
