The Bavarian Queenstown

Located just below the Skyline gondola station, this is a very spacious and beautiful restaurant. Today was rainy, but on a nice day, the views would be spectacular. It was pretty quiet when we came in around 3:00, but it started getting busier by the time we left. We ordered two pints of Panhead Rat Rot Hazy IPA (great beer, unfortunate name) and settled into a booth. It was Wings Tuesday ($1 per wing/minimum of 10) so we split an order of these and The Best Wurstplatter, which has kielbasa, frankfurter, and cheese kransky, served with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, gravy, and a bit of mustard. Both plates were quite good. If wings are a weekly special, Id suggest they bring wet wipes and a bowl of warm water for finger washing, as nothing was provided until I requested it. (I dampened a blue-checked paper napkin to wipe my fingers and mouth and got blue dye all over myself!) We finished the meal with an apple strudel, the only part of the meal that was disappointing. The menu said it came with ice cream, but the serving of it was scooped with a melon baller, resulting in the tiniest amount of ice cream Ive ever been served and frankly, not enough to balance this pastry. The strudel was light on apples and heavy on currants, affecting the texture, so all-in-all, dessert was less than expected and a letdown after what had been a good meal.

We went on Monday night with some of the group having the all you can eat Sausage special which they enjoyed. I ordered the pork schnitzel which was nice, but the cucumber and potatoes salad was a bit disappointing. We got there before 6 and was able to get happy hour drinks with $8 cocktails which was really good value. Overall good atmosphere and service, and food was ok.

Queenstowns newest best kept secret! Lovely restaurant, excellent service from staff and the food was *chefs kiss* We dined here twice as it was exactly what was needed after a chilly day riding the gondola and luges. Forget the hussle of the lake front and take a walk to the Bavarian
