Döner kebab in Oberammergau

A small restaurant-cafe in the city center without any special pretensions. You can have a nice lunch with friends or family, which may take at least an hour). The waiters are attentive and friendly. There is draft beer and decent pizza.

Great for schools or big groups.

An excellent restaurant where we ate delicious fries accompanied by incredible chicken nuggets and a good choice of sauce. The price is more than reasonable, the service is top notch. I highly recommend!

Maxbräu – A Stunning Spot That Falls Short for Families Maxbräu is easily one of the most impressive restaurants in Oberammergau in terms of design and atmosphere. With its beautiful decor, spacious interior, and one of the largest outdoor patios in town, it’s definitely a standout visually—arguably the best-looking restaurant in the area. The vibe is classy yet relaxed, and it makes for a great place to grab drinks or enjoy a nicer evening out. The menu leans toward traditional German cuisine with a fine-dining twist. The food is generally good, and the service is solid. One major plus: Maxbräu has a full bar, which is surprisingly rare in town and makes it an attractive option for evening gatherings or work dinners. That said, I have to knock it down a bit for a few reasons. First, the food prices feel a bit inflated compared to other restaurants in Oberammergau. The quality is decent, but not exceptional enough to fully justify the higher prices. My biggest disappointment came with the duck breast—two small, overly fatty slices for a steep price. When I tried to order the chicken breast at 7:00 PM, I was told it was already sold out—despite the restaurant being noticeably under capacity for the entire evening. Oddly, despite the many open tables, the staff routinely turned walk-in guests away, telling them to make reservations next time. It created an awkward tension, especially since the restaurant didn’t appear to be full or overwhelmed. Maxbräu also isn’t a great fit for families with kids. The menu doesn’t cater to children at all—no kid-friendly options, no simple dishes—and the adult entrées we ordered for our little ones were too small and too sophisticated for their picky tastes. A lot of food went to waste. Over several visits, I had a mix of experiences. It was great for a work outing with a group, and I enjoyed some quiet drinks and a cigar on the patio one evening. But the visit with my family was where things didn’t quite hold up. Bottom Line: Maxbräu is a beautifully designed, upscale spot with a great bar and a solid menu—perfect for business dinners or adult groups looking to unwind. But if you’re traveling with children or looking for good value and flexibility, you might want to look elsewhere.

We have been coming here for years, but of course we particularly appreciate the service and the quality of the food. The daily menu always includes regional, exciting interpretations. Unfortunately, our last visit was really the last, Mundart is closing and with it one of the last good restaurants in the Ammergauer Land, I hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel soon.
