Even though all the outdoor seating was available, we opted to dine inside due to a very breezy cold afternoon.
Unfortunately, my expectation for a great Bavarian meal in this quaint town of Partenkirchen ended up with a somewhat mediocre food (IMHO), but they were with very generous serving portions (photos). My roasted pork needed more flavoring...tasty crust was so well-done that it was very hard to cut or chew. Bread dumpling was cold and lacked flavoring, and potato dumpling was just OK. Fortunately, red cabbage with apples was very tasty.
Salad with roasted chicken breast was just that. Vegetables were not pickled like most of Bavarian vegetable salad is usually consisting of. Chicken lacked flavoring and tasted very plain. I think no one can accuse of the food being too salty or over-flavored here. To make the matter worse, garlic toasts were getting soggy--I think they should serve them on a separate plate to keep them dry and crunchy, but that's just me.
This old-fashioned/traditional gasthof perhaps is needing some updating. In a small dining room we ate, some of the lamp shades were cracked. I can deal with a dim room, but it didn't give out any pleasant ambience here. Restaurant was not crowded at all on Saturday afternoon (perhaps a little past normal lunch hours)--a tell-tail sign of this place being not too popular. On the positive side, we had the dining room all to ourselves.
Fortunately service was decent--our server came back to check on us a couple of times. Credit cards are accepted, but they want tip in cash.
One of the best-preserved painted buildings in Tyrolean tradition in Partenkirchen. It's very beautiful and gorgeous from outside. read more
