Altstadtgasthaus Bauerntanz in Augsburg

A nice, typical restaurant. The food was delicious and the service very friendly.

Very cozy, old-style Bavarian restaurant, we had delicious food, delicious beer and nice service.

Not just old, but also super cosy and delicious. Highly recommended for those who, like Goethe and co, are on a long journey and need large portions. For everyone else, the friendly staff have a high-percentage solution. Dogs welcome

The atmosphere was charming, but the food wasn't very good. My companion's potato dumplings were swimming in an artificial sauce. My pumpkin dish was smothered in a generic packet sauce, the broccoli was very salty, and the whole meal tasted strongly of pre-made ingredients.

The food was good, however the waiter 🤔… was slightly annoyed and I didn't feel particularly welcome.

Absolutely lovely shop, well worth a visit.

Very nice restaurant with excellent local food. The staff is friendly and the welcome is very warm. A great experience to repeat without hesitation.

The Bauerntanz Old Town Inn is Augsburg's oldest inn. The current owners run the establishment very professionally. The location on the Vorderer Lech River regularly draws tourists passing through the Old Town district. Nevertheless, the menu offers down-to-earth fare that's neither expansive nor designed to quickly satisfy tourists—but so good that at least half of the guests are locals. The Bauerntanz Old Town Inn is—in the best sense!—simply a cozy, traditional inn where you can stop in for a beer and a newspaper.

Excellent food. Beautiful location. Unfortunately, it's very crowded. But that's probably because so many people want to use it.

Beautifully located inn in the old town with delicious Swabian cuisine.

It tasted good, but for the price, a small fillet (pike-perch) was a bit lean...

I visited Bauerntanz again today after many years. The service was very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was rustic, and—most importantly—we all enjoyed the food. It's wonderful to have rediscovered Bauerntanz.

There were 14 of us there, we had a reservation, and our drinks order was quick, but the food took a while to arrive. The weekly menu is posted on boards outside the restaurant. There's no menu inside, and there's no menu insert either. Everything was delicious and plentiful. We'd be happy to come back.

Great, cozy, and traditional restaurant in the center of Augsburg; very good service and also the price/performance ratio is right; we would be happy to come back

Delicious food, super friendly service, and a cool atmosphere. Reservations are definitely recommended.

A wonderful, rustic restaurant with a regional menu. All in all, it's just as it should be. Highly recommended.

Excellent food. The restaurant was very busy, which unfortunately made it very noisy.

A wonderfully cozy inn in Augsburg's old town. The food was excellent and the portions generous. The service just seemed a bit slow, so our appetizers arrived before our drinks. Nevertheless, it's a real recommendation if you enjoy good, home-style Bavarian-Swabian cuisine.

A wonderful experience at a typical German restaurant, with a lovely atmosphere and excellent food and tasty dishes. Fast and very friendly service. Excellent value for money.

We spent three days in Augsburg and ate every evening at the Bauerntanz Old Town Inn. The historic atmosphere of one of the city's oldest pubs is impressive. The Bavarian cuisine is outstanding: the freshly roasted pork, the beef cheeks, and the Kaiserschmarrn were particularly delicious. The food is served very quickly—almost too quickly to finish the aperitif, but that's not a criticism. The service is attentive and warm. The prices are absolutely fair and not excessive. We will definitely be back and recommend it to others! Tradition, taste, and atmosphere of the highest order. Hats off to the entire team!

We spontaneously stopped by for lunch and were very satisfied. The food was very good, and the portions were so large that we took half a portion home with us!

Wow. What a remarkable classic Swabian restaurant. We were staying so close to here all week and didn't know this was here. And this tavern has been here for 500 years. Highly recommend.

We went there for lunch today. The service was super fast and very friendly. Prices are on the high side, and the portions are rather small, but the food was great. They could have brought the plates a little more simultaneously, but it was still within reason. A great and, above all, well-organized restaurant.

Good food, great old town ambience and good service.

They delivered incredibly greasy food, no love, huge chunks, pre-made sauces, dry meat, undercooked vegetables, and all for €45.48, without a drink, just the food. I had a stomach ache 10 minutes after eating. Never again!

Vegetarian potato dumplings, never again. They're fried and swimming in an instant sauce. The recipe calls for mushrooms. When asked where the mushrooms were, the answer was a grin! The cheese spaetzle was way too salty! The worst vegetarian meal in years...

The second best it the traditional Brauhäuser in this town. Beer is excellent, food average. Service was a bit slow. Still worth going

We were there for lunch on a company outing; we sat outside because of the nice weather. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was very good and served quickly.

We had dinner at Bauerntanz yesterday. Everything was good until the end. I went to the waiter to pay so my guests wouldn't notice. Everything was fine so far. However, my companion then went in to pay too, which of course I didn't notice at first, until he came back and said he had paid. We then went back to the waiter (an older gentleman in his mid-50s) and asked why he had taken the bill for the table again. He simply replied, "Well, if you want to pay, then pay," along the lines of... that's just not right. I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing. What a shame about the place... an impossibility!

A great restaurant with hearty, home-style food. The service team and kitchen crew do an outstanding job! Even with a packed beer garden and a packed dining room, they were always friendly and attentive. The food always arrived at the table at the same time. Excellent time management in the kitchen! This was our first time here, and our expectations were clearly exceeded.

Very good food. I had the roast pork and my son had the rump steak. Very tasty, and the steak was very large. You don't find that often these days for that price. The service was very friendly. The ambiance could be improved a bit, for example, by adding nicer cushions, etc. Nevertheless, it was cozy. I highly recommend the brewery.

The restaurant is very cozy and quaint. The food was delicious. The price was a bit higher. The male server was very attentive and very friendly. The female server who brought us the food was very listless and unfriendly. Hence, only 4 points.

Be careful and ask for your bill. The waiter asked me for 139€ in cash because the TP wasn't working, morally it seemed expensive to me and I asked for the bill, I felt uncomfortable about him and he took his time to give it to me thinking that I was going to leave without thanks to the wait. Result, my bill 99€ and the TP was working because the waitress used it. I didn't understand this scam and I felt really bad. So, is this a test on tourists thinking that we are stupid and inattentive? In any case, he didn't hit a bell but it could have easily done so, given the atmosphere and the context. 30 euros in return thanks to my attention. Not cool because I was invited to the house of friends who live there so he lost customers, whom he thought he would never see again.

Always happy to come back - delicious and great service!

Baked Maultaschen (ravioli) - tasted like a ready-made product topped with a lot of cheese - not recommended 👎🏾 When I asked if the apple fritters were homemade, the waiter asked who still makes something like that? No comment...

Everything was very good. The food was perfect and very good. Sometimes it takes a while to serve and order.

Staff simply unfriendly and not customer-oriented.

A cozy place where you can sit indoors or outdoors, and it's also part of Augsburg's history. And the Radler is delicious.

Fiddling with the bill leaves a very unpleasant aftertaste. Giving yourself a €25 tip only to be told the drinks couldn't be processed correctly. Beer was in the wrong glasses, and the food was otherwise fine.

A great restaurant with local dishes, fast service, great staff, and pure enjoyment!

In the heart of the city's old quarter is this little restaurant with a delightful garden. The gnocchi with Alpine cheese are excellent. Truly delicious, I could have eaten loads of them. The portions are generous and the price is fair. Only the service was decidedly slow, but it was worth the wait. Be warned: only one waitress speaks English, and be prepared to translate the menu into German. This last point, however, guarantees that it's far from the tourist trail. We were the only foreigners. PS The local wine is not bad.

After a tour of the old town, we stopped for lunch at the "Bauerntanz" restaurant. The ambiance was quaint and down-to-earth, as you would expect from a traditional restaurant. The service was efficient and businesslike. Drinks were quickly ordered and served promptly. The dishes we ordered varied in quality. While I enjoyed my "Bauernschmaus" (Farmer's Feast) quite well (see photo), the "Bauerntanz" salad my wife ordered was unfortunately a disappointment: The chicken breast was almost unseasoned, the salad dressing was far too watery and lacked any subtlety. After my wife complained, I tried the salad myself and could only confirm the shortcomings she had mentioned. I hope our feedback was passed on to the kitchen when clearing the plates. We will certainly give this restaurant another chance, but will opt for the traditional dishes when choosing food.

If you like authentic Bavarian food, you have to go to Bauerntanz in Augsburg. A truly quaint restaurant right in the heart of the old town. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and they're flexible with special requests. We visited Bauerntanz on two days and were absolutely thrilled with the food. And if you like Kaiserschmarn, ordering the Kaiserschmarn is a must... it's a dream 😊 If our journey takes us back to Augsburg, we'll definitely be back 👍👍

We were eating outside with four adults and four children. Just before we sat down, the chairs were wet. After asking the waitress if she could wipe them down, we were given a cloth to wipe ourselves after two requests. Okay. The food was edible, but not very well-seasoned. It was also quite blandly seasoned, and I'm pretty sure the Maultaschen were ready-made and the cream sauce came from a packet. Unfortunately, not satisfactory for the price.

A lovely, rustic inn with excellent home-cooked food. And the staff is very attentive and friendly.

A very pleasant place in the historic part of the city. We tried some excellent Käsespätzle, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

No! Salad without bread! Everything else didn't taste good either!

A truly beautiful, cult Bavarian restaurant. The food is delicious. The staff is super friendly, and the food arrives quickly. The meat quality is top-notch; you can taste the fresh, high-quality ingredients. Prices are excellent for the quality. Definitely stop by.

If you want to experience Bavaria at its very core, you have to go to Bayerntanz in Augsburg. A truly quaint restaurant right in the heart of the old town. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic. You always get a smile. As Augsburg residents, we're regulars :-).

It was very tasty and the service was very nice.

The staff were very friendly and welcomed us despite the restaurant being full. The food was typical of the area, and very good; for once, we skipped the meat for a type of handmade pasta, which was very well-seasoned. The apple dessert was delicious.

We were there for work in December. It was busy, as many companies were having their Christmas parties there. The food arrived at most tables only lukewarm. Unfortunately, that's not an advantage with a lamb shank... All in all, the ambiance is rustic and cozy. The waitresses made an effort to serve all the tables. I'm sure things run better during regular business hours.

Oha, diese Bewertung fällt mehr als schwer: Das wichtigste vorab: Küche, Getränke, Lage und Bedienung in allem top. Kaum etwas zu beanstanden. Das Essen ist typisch bayrisch, wie ein Tourist es gewohnt wäre (vor alles die Spätzle sind ein Traum). Wichtig: gerade an Wochenenden sollte vorbestellt werden. Warum drei von fünf Punkte? Eigentlich war der Gedanke vier oder fünf Punkte zu geben. Letztendlich musste ich zwischen zwei oder drei wählen! Ich versuche es einfach zu erklären: Innerhalb von drei Tagen waren wir als Touristen drei mal zu Gast (jeweils mit drei Erwachsenen und zwei Kindern). Einmal zum Abendessen, einmal zum Kaffee mit Strudel und einmal für Getränke zum Abschluss. Beim ersten Besuch haben wir erst über 200 Euro gelassen, dann 60 und beim letzten mal 50 Euro. Wir wurden an den letzten beiden Tagen vom gleichen älteren Herrn bedient, der uns einzuordnen wusste und uns fragte, ob wir am morgigen Tage nicht nochmal kommen würden. Man war also bekannt genug für Smalltalk und Wohlfühlatmosphäre, die man sich im Halbsuff einfach auch gerne mal wünscht. Alles super, bis zum letzten Besuch: Auf die Frage am dritten Abend, ob wir Abends nur auf Getränke reinkommen können, wurden wir positiv reingebeten und haben als Nebenkommentar zugeflüstert bekommen "gestern habe ich euch einen Kaffee nicht berechnet, das haben wir irgendwie vergessen...aber naja" (ungefähr so muss der Wortlaut gewesen sein). Okay?! Cool, wir haben innerhalb von zwei Tagen über 180 Euro bei Ihnen gelassen und das zweite was man am Abend zu hören bekommt ist die Ansage, dass wir mehr Geld hätten zahlen müssen? Ja, mehr als unpassend! Stimmung danach gedrückt, man fängt an zu hinterfragen, dann b man nicht hätte wieder gehen sollen...man hat es natürlich nicht getan! Egal, wir haben als Familie trotzdem fleißig bestellt und haben dann um die Rechnung gebeten. Auf die Rechnungsbitte wurde in Bruchteilen einer Sekunde reagiert mir "47,5 Euro". Kein Plan, was dieser Herr für ein riesen Speicher mit reaktionsschnellen Getränkezusammenfassungsprogramm im Kopf hat, aber das war unglaublich fragwürdig, wie auf die die Rechnungsanfrage diese Antwort so unglaublich schnell kommen konnte. Es lag also nah, den nicht gezeigten Bon einzufordern. Naja, da die eigene Frau drum bat, den Abend nicht zu ruinieren, indem auf mögliche (hier nicht zu belegende) Missstände hingewiesen wird, wurde das gesamte verbale Rechnungssammelsurium akzeptiert, braf mit Trinkgeld bestückt und das Lokal verlassen. Ganz klar als Selbstkritik: Man hätte alles checken können, hat es nicht und kann sich nun nur auf TripAdvisor auslassen ohne Belege zu haben! Was bleibt nun am Ende hängen? Das Gefühle bei über 300 Euro in drei Tagen nicht wertschätzt zu werden und statt mal einen kurzen auf's Haus, erhält man eher einen Spruch, dass der Kassierer möglicherweise vergessen hat am vorherigen Tag ein Getränk zu kassieren. Zusätzlich fragt man sich, ob man als Tourist klassisch als Durchgangsverkehr wahrgenommen wurde und ob man vielleicht an den beiden letzten Tagen doch mal den Kassenbon hätte einfordern sollen! Wie massiv unnötig war dieser Anschluss? Wir haben doch eigentlich so gerne unser Geld in diesem Laden gelassen, warum wird dies nicht am Schluss auf gegenseitiger Augenhöhe anerkannt? Absolut unnötig (vor allem, wenn man sich schließlich noch fragen muss, ob man möglicherweise das eine noch ausstehende Getränk vielleicht doch noch im Nachhinein bezahlt hat - ich weiß es nicht!). Pointe: Essen super, Bedienung macht Sachen!

The food was delicious, the service was very good. Quaint, but unfortunately, due to the high volume of visitors, it was very noisy.

The restaurant has a beautifully quaint, rustic feel and authentic atmosphere. The staff was always on fire but friendly. Unfortunately, the food, the cocktail (Rhubarb Spritz), and even the beers didn't impress me. But, as we all know, tastes differ. Table reservations are recommended.

Good quality food. Unfriendly staff: they wanted us to pay cash by any means.. but after some complaints the POS came out magically!! Be careful!! —— update —— A few days later, the owner called me to insult me about the review - further confirming their lack of professionalism and rude behavior!

Delicious food, friendly staff and good value for money.

Friendly service & good food. The chairs aren't exactly inviting, so we didn't stay long. Personally, I miss a chicken schnitzel on the menu.

The Bauerntanz grilled pan was served after a few minutes—too quickly to have been truly freshly prepared. The meat was too firm and not particularly fresh. The fries were greasy. Overall, it wasn't particularly good and had probably just been reheated. It's a shame; I remembered the food at Bauerntanz differently. The service was friendly. The drinks were fresh and cold.

The staff were so unpleasant and unfriendly that I didn't even get to eat.

Bauerntanz is always worth a visit. Super delicious food, great service... Rustic inside, shaded outside, so great

Delicious, nice atmosphere, beautiful interior

Immer wieder ein Erlebnis für die Sinne!

Edit July 2025 Today, for the first time in a long time, we gave Bauerntanz a try. This time we ordered. The Kässpatzen (cheese dumplings) are still delicious and were a normal-sized portion – even though €18 is quite high. What was completely disproportionate, and in my opinion, completely unacceptable, was €18 for ONE bread dumpling with a flavorless mushroom cream sauce, which, due to the poor packaging, was half-spilled in the bag. If you're not capable of packing sauce-heavy food in secure delivery containers, you shouldn't offer it for delivery. Only the taste of the Kässpatzen keeps me from giving it a 2-star rating. Old review: 3 stars from 6 years ago: We used to come here often and enjoyed it, but since pretty much the entire service staff was replaced, it hasn't been the same. The familiar, friendly atmosphere that once characterized Bauerntanz is unfortunately completely gone, and the entire service seems disorganized, often inattentive, and not well-trained. The food is still consistently good, but nothing truly exceptional. Homely, with room for improvement.

Food is good, service nice. But outside depending on the wind, it smells like trash. It's 2025 and you never can pay by card. "Device not working" they keep saying...

The waiter's greeting seemed forcedly friendly, even arrogant. I ordered the farmer's dance salad. I expected a bit more from a dish that practically bears the restaurant's name as an advertisement, namely a nice colorful salad plate with fried chicken strips (according to the menu). Instead, we got unimaginative and unloving green lettuce leaves, half of which already had brown edges, some were cut into strips, with grated carrots on top. Three small pieces of chicken and a soggy dressing. Not a piece of bread with it! Unacceptable for almost 15 euros. The waiter didn't ask whether we were satisfied or whether we enjoyed the food. We grabbed our plates and left. My companions had wedding soup, which was delicious.

Beautiful restaurant with outdoor seating. The service was incredibly rude and practically kicked us out when other guests arrived, even though there were plenty of other seats available. That was our last visit. What a shame.

Great food, with good selection of Bavarian dishes accompanied by some good beers! Excellent friendly service, well-priced menu.

We love local restaurants and are happy to visit them. It's really not a problem to pay a Euro more, but when you are delighted with the dish. Mozartplatte for one person 33.00 Euros - let's say the meat was marinated or something special, but this is ridiculous. I'm not saying it was tasteless, but I certainly don't support that price. "Ordinary Grill" can be eaten anywhere for half the money. That's why we came to you, but disappointment. The salad is also not to be praised.

Our food arrived quickly and was delicious! Definitely a recommendation!

Located in a quiet alley. Super friendly and fast service. Very tasty food. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Wir hatten einen Tisch auf der Außenterrasse. Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam. Die beiden Speisen und der dazu bestellte Rose-Wein waren gut.

A VERY COZY, VERY PLEASANT PLACE

Wonderful typical Bavarian cusine with great resturant story, existing for centuries with friendly service

Regular, but overpriced food, almost no English. Guess they are avoiding fiscalization as well - did not get a receipt although asked for one, after that pos did not work :) Got sent to an atm without a single apology. Totally bad experience

Last Saturday, we sat outside in the heat and ate as a group of seven. It wasn't exactly a sizzling meal, but it was okay. The outside area could be cleaned up a bit. It's too uncomfortable to sit for long. There are definitely nicer places in Augsburg. Overall, the food was okay, but it lacked a cozy atmosphere. I wouldn't go there again myself...

Very friendly and competent service, the restaurant has a lovely rustic feel, and everything is very clean! The food for the five of us was all very good and served quickly. We'd definitely go back!

A traditional restaurant with excellent, home-style cooking. The welcome and service were good, although we did feel like we were being forgotten for a while. But the food made up for it. A very nice selection, not exactly modern, but excellent quality. The interior is very rustic and stuck in time. You should like that.

Great food, romantic ambience, sensationally friendly service – a picture-perfect restaurant experience.

Yes, I can recommend this place. Very quaint. We wanted to sit outside, but it was raining a bit, so we went inside. Service was very fast. The soup tasted very good, but they were really skimping on it. For the price, there was almost no liquid in it, just fillings. The same thing happened to the person next to me. So, actually, one point deducted. The coffee specialties were very good.

The food was great, and the wait time was okay. A very cozy restaurant with portions large enough to satisfy everyone. Highly recommended for any vacationer. Very friendly staff.

Delicious food. I chose snitzel but saw other tasty things passing by. The beer tasted good too. Cosy and the staff was friendly.

Simple cuisine, nothing special

Service was very friendly and very helpful, which is why it gets a completely positive review!!! The decor inside and out is very old-fashioned. Nothing against an old-fashioned feel, but it could be presented in a more contemporary way. It doesn't just look old, you can see that nothing has been done there in a long time. The toilets are exactly the same, and the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't want to change my child's diaper there with everyone walking past. :-(( You can see everywhere that nothing has been done there for a long time. One meal (very small for a price of almost 18€) was tasty, but very meager to look at, there wasn't even chives or parsley. Our food did not look like the pictures on the website. We were so shocked that we completely forgot to take a photo, otherwise I would have posted the pictures. For it being so highly praised, we expected something different. Mozart would have been disappointed, he had been to this restaurant once... it must have been good there.

Plain, but passable food and very friendly service.

The food was very good, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. A lovely evening!

We went to Bauerntanz with Japanese business partners – it was a complete success! Seven main courses to share were served without any problems and with great friendliness, as was the dessert. Excellent food, a wonderful atmosphere, and an all-around successful evening. Absolutely recommend it – authentic, welcoming, and top-notch quality!

An absolute must!!! Thank you for your hospitality. U.N.V.E.U. 🇲🇨

There were nine of us there, and the restaurant was packed. But since we had a reservation, we had guaranteed seats. The service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly and quick. We only had to wait a long time for the food. But that was simply because it was so busy. The food was delicious, though. Absolutely nothing to complain about. If we're ever back in Augsburg, we'll definitely visit the restaurant again.

It's the oldest inn. The waitress was friendly, but she forgot about us after our first order (we were sitting outside). We sat outside for 45 minutes and only had one drink; she could have earned more from us. The Hasenbier (rabbit beer) is delicious.

Good selection of food. Sauerbraten dumplings, red cabbage, good. Beer, good. Kellerbier, but it was served upstairs in the restaurant, not in the basement. 🤗 So, go there.

Very tasty, great atmosphere and friendly service

Anyone looking for good Augsburg cuisine should give this a wide berth. The bratwurst was limp, the bread was quite dry, the asparagus was woody and the rotten spots on the potatoes were only half-heartedly removed. Everything is also quite tasteless. The star is given for the beautiful location in the old town.

Cozy place with very good food!

The inn is located in the old town. It's very cozy inside. The three of us spontaneously went there for dinner on a Thursday. The service was super nice, we felt completely comfortable and in good hands. We didn't have to wait too long for the orders. And the food is really delicious. In between we even asked if some more sauce was needed. In response to a yes, a well-filled sauce jug was promptly brought out. Everything is perfect in the restaurant. If you want to eat there on the weekend, it's better to reserve a table. I would happily recommend the Bauerntanz.

Very cozy beer garden with friendly service. Absolutely humane prices

Service was not attentive (drinks were not refilled) and visibly stressed. Beef cheek was tough. Roast pork was good. Waited 40 minutes for desserts. Guest room very noisy, too many people for the overwhelmed staff. Too bad...

Very cozy traditional inn with outdoor seating in the beautiful old town of Augsburg. Large selection of hearty food and drinks. I'd love to come back!

Yes, we liked it. Table should be reserved in advance.

We had dinner on Saturday evening last week. The atmosphere was very inviting. Unfortunately we had an extremely long wait for a relatively manageable portion. Unfortunately, the meat was also a bit dry and didn't convince us personally.
