Bistro Restaurant Relax Oberstdorf in Oberstdorf

Modernly furnished restaurant, good lighting, excellent ambiance, fast service… but you should make a reservation! Reservations are not possible outside. We had a crisp, fresh side salad with a variety of ingredients. We should have shared one instead. On schnitzel day, despite high demand, the schnitzel was very well cooked and the size should not be underestimated! All in all, we'll be back because we both enjoy the varied menu! Note: How much you spend per person is always up to you!

I had a beef fillet, but it was very tough. The service was very reserved, more like a distance. Empty plates were cleared away even while the other five people were still eating. All in all, it was okay, but the food really wasn't that special. There are many better restaurants in Oberstdorf.

We were here for the first time today and actually planned to come back more often, as we were attracted by the chanterelle mushroom menu. But the summer salad was just a bit of green salad, and you can see what was underneath in the picture. Coleslaw and carrot salad, probably convenience foods. The salmon was either overcooked or frozen. Some white bread. The only fresh thing was the chanterelle mushrooms, and that cost €20.90. Once, never again.

Hospitality and warmth were simply perfect. We felt very comfortable with you. We'd love to come back. Regards, Ralf Lienenkamp

Unfortunately, the waiter seemed annoyed and listless. The hot chocolate was delicious!

I've enjoyed eating at Restaurant Relax for many years. Here, you can rely on the consistent quality and deliciousness of the food, which is often not the case in other restaurants. I would also like to commend the friendliness of the chef and the waiters. Everything is just right here, including the ambiance.

Highly recommended. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere.

The food and drinks were very good. Dominico, our trusted waiter, delivered.

A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. We always enjoy coming back to Relax.

Food, drinks and service (Domenico) top and very fast

Very tasty food and very nice staff

Very friendly staff great food everything perfect

Always worth a visit. Good food, super friendly service

We were there for breakfast. The selection and products could be expanded a bit. But it was still very tasty and plentiful. It's a very cozy restaurant. Great atmosphere. And the service is very friendly and attentive. Our server was Katja. We'd be happy to come back.

I went there to eat this evening with my partner and a toddler. We were able to get a table outside very spontaneously (without a reservation). The food was very good. Unfortunately, we had to remind them of our included side salad, which was forgotten, but was brought very quickly. The restaurant is highly recommended, but if you're traveling with several friends or a larger family, a reservation would be advisable.

Great restaurant with a unique atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended

The boss was very friendly, everything was perfect. The male waitress was unbeatable! If he always does this, then good night!

Delicious food, totally dog-friendly, and the service is excellent. Domenico stands out with his friendly and attentive manner. 👍

Very friendly staff, especially Katja and Kiev. The food is excellent and the price/performance ratio couldn't be better. Perfect for a snack before or after a hike.

I was here on vacation with my father, stepmother, and little brother, and I have to say it was a very good and lovely restaurant. The food was delicious, even though I only had the penne arrabiata. But the others also enjoyed it very much. The service was probably the best I've ever seen. The chef walked around the restaurant the whole time, checking everything was in order. He was really very kind and humorous. When there was a small mistake in our order, he apologized profusely and even bought my little brother and me two scoops of ice cream each. The service was also very kind. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and made you feel at home. We sat inside, and there was a great atmosphere and it was easy to have a good conversation. The furniture was also very comfortable and nice. Overall, I can say it was definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, especially because of the wonderful service and the delicious food. I highly recommend it!

I dropped by spontaneously. After a long day, I received a very warm welcome and service. I was taken care of very well. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy.

We've been going to Relax for over 25 years, which speaks for itself! Delicious food, a wide selection, from steak to vegan options to pizza. The portions are generous, the staff is very friendly, and the ambiance is modern and cozy.

No!! That was nothing at all... The service, at least the one who served us, was not friendly at all, more like annoyed. The service at the next table was very friendly, but that didn't help us. The Wiener schnitzel was a ready-made product, the steak was small and of poor quality. The vegetables were partially burnt, and the combination was inappropriate. Never again... but it was the only restaurant open for lunch.

We were a group of eight people for breakfast. Super friendly service, a great breakfast, and, above all, a warm drink was included, and you didn't have to pay extra to order one. A great, very pleasant atmosphere. The waitress kept coming by and asking if we had any requests or if everything was okay. Unfortunately, we didn't get the name of the waitress, who probably spoke with a Polish accent, but she was super nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

The waiter was great! And so was the food! Simply amazing.

Located right on the busy street. We received a friendly welcome, and our order came very quickly. I would describe the food as down-to-earth. Prices are OK for Oberstdorf. All in all, a nice little restaurant and café where you can stop for a quick bite.

Delicious breakfast, friendly service, would definitely come again.

There were three of us dining (reservations are recommended). Domenico, the waiter, gave us a warm welcome and showed us to our table. He also took care of us throughout the meal, and we felt completely at ease. The food was delicious and the prices reasonable. We would be happy to return and highly recommend the Relax.

I tried the homemade cheese spaetzle and they were fantastically delicious, absolutely recommendable

Nice place with friendly service. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. Of course, it is advisable to make a reservation, but it is necessary almost everywhere in Oberstdorf

We have already had breakfast and dinner there several times and can only recommend it a great selection at fair prices

We had breakfast there – it was very good. The staff was very friendly. Dogs are also welcome there.

Burger and chips were delicious. Service was very friendly and food came out quick.

Food was fantastic, the service was amazing, best food at oberstdorf. Food came very fast and very fresh. Great atmosphere too. I recommend the relax burger. Dominico and christian were excellent with service and very friendly.

Domonico served us and it was a fantastic and amazing service. Very quiet, friendly and clean restaurant. I will definitely come again. Thankyou 🤝🤝

I visited you the day before yesterday for dinner. I was really looking forward to this visit, as my visit nine months ago was a real treat. You can still read my comments from back then. So, strengthened by this good memory, I reserved a table for my daughter and me for 9 p.m. What a disappointment when I was greeted at the entrance with the words, "The kitchen is closing, you can only eat pizza and salads!" It was 8:55 p.m. No one can claim that was an encouraging welcome. I mentioned that I had come to this restaurant especially and was asked, given the time, to order my food quickly. I had never experienced anything like it before. In a city as touristy as yours, it's inconceivable that a kitchen closes at 9 p.m. Moreover, the two schnitzels were nowhere near as good as last time; they undoubtedly came from the deep fryer; it was very greasy. Visually, I could compare it with the photos from then and now. In short: double disappointment, reception and food.

We've eaten here several times over the years. The food was always of good quality, the service friendly and attentive (especially Domenico), and the atmosphere pleasant and inviting. We'd love to come back and spend a lovely evening with good food.

Delicious food, served by a motivated and fast team. The drinks also arrived promptly. Domenico, in particular, had a personal word or a little joke ready for each table. Thank you for that!

Very hospitable welcome by waiter Dominigo, delicious food despite the extreme crowds now in high season.

Accessible. Great service and delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere. What more could you want? 😊

I've never had my food and drinks so quickly. The service makes you feel like you're a neighbor. Overall, it's a very good place with friendly service. I'll be back.

Very warm and accommodating hosts. We'd love to come back.

We were at the Relax in Oberstdorf; the lovely atmosphere, great service and a delicious traditional lunch rounded off our trip perfectly.

Delicious food and open on Sundays too!

Excellent food, incredible service, great value for quality food Dominique really looked after us Thank you

The restaurant was perfectly fine. You can sit inside or outside. The ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, my dish was too salty, but they brought me a new one without complaint. The server wasn't particularly friendly, but maybe it was just a bad day for him. I would go there again.

Excellent non-stop opening hours (was there Saturday around 1:30 pm), you can sit inside or outside, very attentive service, I can recommend "Penne al Salmone🐟🙂👍🏻

Very nice location, the service was excellent, thanks to Dominik and the team. The food was delicious, so we went there three times. Pat

Highly recommended. We came on recommendation and have always been very satisfied. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Suitable for strollers and buggies. High chairs are available.

We dropped by spontaneously with three people and were immediately warmly welcomed. The food was very good and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a very nice atmosphere and the food is wonderful. We'll be back.

We had lunch today. The service was very good. We ordered two schnitzels, pasta with salmon, and a salmon steak. Unfortunately, we waited about 60 minutes. During that time, three tables received their orders. It wouldn't have been a problem if the food had held up. The pasta was overly salty, and my son's schnitzel smelled of old grease from the pan. The service was a positive. The food was a bit of a disappointment.

Hunger and a desire for "Mediterranean cuisine and local delicacies from the region" lured us to Bistro Relax relatively spontaneously. We were lucky and managed to snag a free table. However, it's definitely recommended to reserve a table in advance. The team was consistently friendly and attentive, and the food was deliciously prepared! We'll definitely be back and still can't quite believe we only discovered this place now. We'll always have fond memories 😊

Highly recommended! We really enjoyed the food! Fast service! Short wait time.

Dominico was very helpful. The waiter was very prompt. The food was good and very tasty.

Decent food and mediocre service, including customer service. It's just another typical restaurant in a tourist town like Oberstdorf: it's all about raking in the cash from the tourists. A typical example was the chef/owner going about his business outside with a leaf blower or something similar while they were eating. The window was open, and inside, customers were sitting in the din. Simply put, there's little to no respect for the customers. The motto "cash is money" also applies to this restaurant, as does another "restaurant" in Oberstdorf where, coincidentally, the two owners have a partnership.

It was our first time there, and it certainly won't be our last. Clean, tidy, and friendly. The food arrived quickly, portions were generous, and the food was delicious.

The waiter, Domenico, was super friendly and immediately fulfilled our requests. The food was excellent, a true delight.

Very tasty food, nice restaurant, great location

At first glance, the name 'Bar-Bistro Relax' didn't quite match what we were looking for. On the recommendation of our landlady, we decided to have dinner there and were pleasantly surprised. Behind the palm tree logo, which suggested a cocktail evening, we discovered a truly pleasant restaurant with a wide selection of diverse dishes. You'd think there'd be something for everyone here, from traditional cuisine to pizza. The food was excellent; the 'Oberstdorfer Pfanne' (sauté pan) was cooked to perfection, juicy, and exceptionally well-done. Our waiter, the 'Italian Allgäuer,' was very attentive and courteous, as were virtually all the staff we encountered... We gave it full marks, a hearty recommendation, and we'll definitely be back!

The food was outstanding, as always – the Oberstdorfer Pfanne (for meat lovers) is especially recommended. The service left nothing to be desired – the friendly Italian waiter, in particular, rounded off the evening with his charming manner and attentiveness. The ambiance was also impressive across the board: cozy, stylish, and decorated with great attention to detail. An all-round successful visit – highly recommended!

Hello dear Relax Team, We visited you for the third time at the end of our summer week in Oberstdorf this year, and it was once again very nice. You have the perfect location for us, and we'll definitely be back. The food is delicious, the atmosphere cozy and inviting. Thanks also to Christian for the friendly and attentive service. 😊 Keep it up, and we look forward to the next time. 👋🏻😋

Dear Relax Team, One week, three visits with you, and every time it was lovely and delicious. Thanks also to Christian for the friendly hospitality. Keep up the good work, and we're already looking forward to the next time in the fall. Best wishes, Frank & Simone

We ate here twice. Everything was delicious. Our waitress, Domenico, was super friendly.

Great food, something for everyone. The service is very friendly. The interior is cozy.

The fish dishes are very tasty and fresh, Domenico is very kind!

Pleasant atmosphere, excellent food

We love coming here every time! Especially with Domeniko as our waiter!

We were here with a larger group as part of the Oberstorf Photo Summit. Despite some requests for changes, everything went smoothly! We received friendly and courteous service! The food (I had beef fillet) was very good, although the portions of the same dishes were different. Apart from that, just one more thing: not everyone who looks at the menu after paying checks the price. Maybe they're just looking at the different breweries.

We came from Poland to Germany for a holiday, we are in this place for the second time and we were not disappointed. The food is very tasty. The service is very nice and professional. The boss himself came to us personally to ask if everything tasted good and if everything was OK. The place is at a high level. I recommend.

Coffee very bad, at the same time expensive

Very friendly service. Very tasty food, completely satisfied.

Super friendly staff Service A+ The food was excellent

I really can't say enough good things about this bistro! We stop by several times every year in Oberstdorf. Reserving a table is quick and easy online, and if you drop in spontaneously, you can always get a table. We always enjoy the food, and so does the service. Thanks again to Dominico for the great service! :)

Highly recommended bistro! Great selection, great taste! Thanks to Dominico, who served us really well! We'll be back!

The food was delicious. The value for money was also good. We'd be happy to come back with Domenico's excellent service. A very friendly and wonderful restaurant.

Service good, food good, everything good.

At first, the service came to us twice within five minutes, then they never came again for another 25 minutes. This is absurd!

Everything is first-class... A very nice ambiance, delicious food, and the service is very attentive; you can tell Christian, in particular, is a real pro. During peak season, you'll need a little patience. It's just that it's very crowded everywhere. Just be prepared to wait a bit, and everyone will be happy...

We've previously been to Oberstdorf's well-known restaurants and were generally satisfied. But the Relax far surpassed all our experiences. The food is very tasty, the portions not overly large but deliciously prepared. The Kaiserschmarren can easily compete with that of the Ziegelbachhütte. All the service is friendly and attentive. Tonight we'll be dining there for the third time in a row.

We have been eating many times and the food was always delicious. A personal, informal service and it was always busy, but cozy. Located in the lively main street. You can now also pay by card. Very handy to mention. Highly recommended!

It's pretty okay, not outstanding, but okay. They use melted onions for the cheese spaetzle...which isn't exactly tasty 🤷‍♂️.. First of all, I prefer roasted onions... and... Secondly, I had Käseknöpfle in Montafon...that's what the Austrians call their cheese spaetzle 😉...which I personally liked better. And it was simply the combination of cheeses and how cheesy they were.

Very nice service, good food. Christian is the best

everything perfect Christian best man ever really good shop!! 🙌

A wonderful experience in a cozy atmosphere! Perfectly cooked meat. I highly recommend Feindchmecker Pfännle! The waiter, Christian, is the best (tip well!)

It was a lovely evening; the restaurant has a pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The service is very fast and attentive, especially Cristian, who is the best waiter.

We've been coming to the Relax with the whole family for years, and we were really looking forward to it again this time. The food was always very good, and the service was friendly. It was friendly, BUT...! The food wasn't good; the fries were soggy. After complaining, we got new ones. They were just as soggy. The schnitzel and salad were poorly cooked. We always hear "not enough staff." As a guest, I don't want to hear that! We've lost our appetite for Oberstdorf's restaurants for the rest of our vacation and prefer to cook ourselves. What a shame!

We visit Oberstdorf once or twice a year and always eat at the Bistro Restaurant Relax. The value for money here is perfect! The food was always delicious, the ambiance was lovely, and the staff was friendly and attentive! Since we'll be back there in three days, I'll reserve another table right away and can highly recommend the restaurant!

My stake was supposed to be medium but was very well done. So done. Also there was hardly any pepper sauce on the plate. Also this first waiter did not seem very friendly. Only after we had finished our food the (probably owner of the business) walked past us and told other guests that they had to report all complaints "such as too little sauce" immediately and not to put them on Google. (I thought this was very appropriate) to hear this from the best man before I even posted this review here. But anyway, we hardly had the opportunity to speak to a waiter at all, and they did not ask if everything was to our liking, after we had finished our food and only after about an hour an employee came to ask if we wanted to order something else. Next time we will look a door further before we go there again.

Great service, delicious food and tasty beer. Main courses start at around 20 €, but it's worth it.

I was there with my friend today. The service was really friendly, they asked questions, where you were from, etc. We both had the surf & turf, medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. The portion size was perfectly adequate, even for big eaters. A drink, main course, and dessert for €45 is unbeatable! We'd be happy to go again.

A perfect spot with delicious local cuisine. We were very lucky to be here on Wednesday, Schnitzel Day.

Unfortunately, we went to Mc's afterward. I think that says it all.

A great restaurant, bistro...everything was perfect and the interior was very cozy. I highly recommend it and would gladly come back ❣️

A very nice, well-kept, and cozy restaurant. The food is very good. The value for money is okay.

Nice restaurant in the pedestrian zone. The food (cheese spaetzle) wasn't that impressive (the spaetzle were very soft, and the mountain cheese was very mild).

Friendly service. Moderate prices. You shouldn't go there hungry after a hike. Portions are small. Tastes okay.

The breakfast is not recommended: The cheese had been visibly exposed to the air for a longer time, the Nutella was several months past its best before date, d

Very good service from Domenico and excellent food. Great atmosphere.

Cash only, up to €25—basically no problem, but unfortunately it's not mentioned on the card. You're only informed of this when paying.

We enjoyed a wonderful Kaiserschmarrn (a kind of Austrian dish). Absolutely delicious. The service was pleasant and friendly. We'd be happy to return.
