Gambrinus in Bad Schandau

Grumpy waitress. No information about minimum amount for card purchases. Surprise at payment.

The food was very tasty, the friendliness of the staff could have been better.

The food was below average (the pasta wasn't great, the rump steak was stringy and overcooked, even though it was ordered medium). Service was okay, but we wouldn't go back because of the quality of the food.

The Restaurant is located in the center. Tasty food and the staff were very friendly, they also spoke English.

We got there looking for table to have dinner but the waitress impolitely told us that they are soooooo goood that you could only eat there with a reservation. There was literally a free table in front of us. I guess we will never try the banger “aspargus pizza”

Everything was great. The food was delicious. Service was top-notch.

Super delicious food. The pizza is also highly recommended. Service is excellent.

It was very tasty, a must on your next holiday if you want to eat a delicious pizza ❤️ and thanks again to the waitress for being so friendly and kind and finding a place for us so late where we could still eat 🙏🏾😘 the evening was saved.

We arrived at lunchtime and received a very warm welcome. Even our dog was given a bowl of water. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the location is somewhat hidden in the back courtyard. The waitress is super friendly and willing to listen to any special requests! Conclusion: super delicious and highly recommended.

1 year later... the service has gone downhill a lot and it wasn't even busy, only a few tables were occupied, they had only just opened... furthermore the asparagus were very poorly cleaned... Too bad... I won't come again Good again. Nice service.

Very nicely located and the service is good, nice service and the food is great

We arrived in the afternoon. The waitress was very nice. We asked about the closing time at 3:30 p.m., but this varies from day to day depending on the customer. The food arrived super quickly and was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance was also very nice; we sat outside in the courtyard. All in all, very pleasant and highly recommended.

Very good food, and we didn't have to wait long. The atmosphere itself was very pleasant, as was the service.

Great pizza! Unfortunately, there was only room inside. It's worth making a reservation if you want to sit outside. The restaurant itself was unfortunately very noisy, as they were constantly sorting cutlery and occasionally dropped dishes on the floor. Otherwise, the service was very pleasant and friendly. They also serve very generous and delicious vegan pizza!

We found this place by coincidence, and since there was a good vibe going on outside, we decided to sit down. They did not have any empty tables outside, so placed us inside. Our table was unfortunately just in front of the bar, where they sort their cutlery, and it was really loud and annoying. (Including a few accidents and broken glasses) I even asked the waitress if she could move us out as soon as something becomes available, but she did not seem too happy about that, she said ok let‘s see. Then one table became available, but she did not move us. The food was good, but would have been a better experience if the staff also paid some attention to the request of guests.

Very tasty. I'd gladly go again.

An insider tip in Bad Schandau. The service is exemplary, friendly, and professional. The food (rump steak) is tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented—a real professional at work here.

Ok at a higher price unless you have pizza. Was not impressed compared to other places in the area. Service was efficient. Perhaps chose the wrong dishes

A big compliment to the entire team. Everything perfect and super tasty 😋. We'll definitely be back.

If you're talking about fast food, it's a great place. In less than 60 minutes, four guests were fed...! Mini pizza for a great price, even at MCCES they still smile at you after you order. There is better nearby! After Easter, Bad Schandau is a service desert either way!

Very tasty food, nice service, great location.

Good food, high prices that are only partially justified because they fill the plates with a lot of lentils, I didn't like that. Please offer potatoes, for example, then I would also be willing to give my money there. So I'm currently avoiding the place. Location is really nice though.

Were very satisfied. Friendly service and the food was also tasty. Gladly again.

I'm vegan and the restaurant has some vegan selections. I had the bruscetta (Grana Padano) which was incredibly tasty and the baguette was also slightly warm. The main course was the triplets with zucchini, mushrooms and red onions, which was incredibly good. I didn't know that vegetables could taste so good 😃 well seasoned and served hot. The pizza (ordered without cheese) was also really tasty, fluffier dough! Service super friendly!

We stopped here after a hike. Very nice atmosphere, friendly service. The pizzas are okay but not great either. Overall good.

Very nice staff and fast service. The food was very good except for the pizza. Unfortunately the dough wasn't through from the bottom.

Very good food and very friendly staff. The price is a bit high, but definitely justified for what is on offer. The only thing that was annoying was the loud noise from the tiled floor. The loud moving of chairs was just annoying. Maybe felt pads under the chairs can help?

We had dinner here with our supplier and I have to say: No thanks. That's not for me. When we entered the restaurant I was positively impressed because it has a very nice atmosphere. The interior design is cozy, warm and calm. But when the food came to the table, my joy in this restaurant evaporated. As a starter we had a salad. There was only bitter lettuce innards in the salad. That wasn't appetizing. All the taste was gone. For the main course I ordered the pike perch for €26.50. But what I got was a huge, deep plate with a small zander fillet, which was divided. The side dishes were well portioned. But it looks pretty stupid when there are twice as many potatoes as fish on the plate. Getting a deep plate for a fish is also anything but practical. The taste of the food wasn't great. I have the impression that everything was frozen and ready-made sauce (my opinion). Price-performance: Poor Because I wasn't full at all from that little bit of fish. And I have never found so many bones in a zander FILET. The service was friendly, but also extremely annoying. Every few minutes she would come prancing around and ask, “You’re okay.” The next day we ordered pizza here. The result was an even greater catastrophe than the day before. According to the menu, the pizza is based on an original Italian recipe. But here too I am personally convinced that it is a ready-made dough. I've eaten many proper Italian pizzas, but I see this as an insult to the art of Italian pizza. The dough was hard, like a leftover bread roll, and the taste wasn't good either. If you licked the underside you could lick a high salt content. That definitely wasn't just 3%. I have IBD and am extremely sensitive to finished products. I felt this in the afternoon on the way home. Therefore, I am convinced that the pizza and/or the tomato sauce were finished products. Thank you for that!! (This review only reflects my personal impression).

We were there on October 24th. and on November 1st, 2024 for two at Gambrinus Essen. The first time we had game meat and on the second visit a pizza and a large salad plate with special requests in the form of fried mushrooms, which were implemented immediately. Everything tasted great. With drinks and tips we paid between €50 and €60. It was absolutely worth it. We can only recommend eating at Gambrinus to everyone.

Wir waren am 24.10. und am 01.11.2024 zu zweit im Gambrinus Essen. Beim ersten Mal hatten wir Fleisch vom Wild und beim zweiten Besuch eine Pizza und einen großen Salatteller mit Extrawünschen im Form von gebratenen Pilzen, die auch sofort umgesetzt wurden. Alles hat super geschmeckt. Mit Getränke und Trinkgeld haben wir zwischen 50 und 60 € bezahlt. Es hat sich absolut gelohnt. Wir können es jedem nur empfehlen im Gambrinus zu Essen.

Highly recomended gose . Nice place . With tasty Food . Waitres did not make an efford to recomend me a drink . Was not to happy to try to speak english

We made a reservation and got our table. The service was friendly and incredibly fast! In the menu they have kindly summarized all the vegetarian and vegan dishes separately on one page! The food was delicious, like pizza, and it came quickly. The atmosphere is rustic and cozy! The price was fair.

Were there twice for dinner. Very tasty food, quick service.

The Gambrinus restaurant is a real insider tip for connoisseurs! As soon as you enter, you are warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, which immediately creates a pleasant atmosphere. The service is attentive but never intrusive - exactly how you want it. The food is absolutely fantastic. Particularly noteworthy are the pizzas and steaks, which are second to none. - simply a pleasure! You immediately notice that the person behind the stove knows his craft and is passionate about what he does. The atmosphere is cozy, and the combination of great food and warm hospitality makes the visit a completely successful experience.

Very nice and friendly staff. The food was excellent. We have eaten there three times in a row. We received very warm service, including our children. Clear recommendation from us.

Incorrect information listed online. Says they close at 10 only to show up just after 7pm to a completey closed restaurant. Please keep updated and accurate information listed!

Very friendly staff and delicious food

Friendly staff and quick delicious food.

Food very tasty, service could be a bit friendlier, cold, uninviting atmosphere

Very sober service. Polite in conversation, but no smile, no friendliness, you are just treated like a regular. The restaurant acts “too chic” and the ambience is actually very nice. Pizza delicious. Next time we'll go somewhere else. There is a bit of something for vegetarians.

Good food combined with a nice ambience and great service. I've eaten there for the first time and was very satisfied again.

The pizza is good, but I imagine a steak for 26 Euros to be better.

Pizza was very small. The employee at the counter was very, very unfriendly.

Schnitzel was perfect! Unfortunately there was a table of tourists very noisy..

Pizza was good but way too small for €13. The employee at the counter was very unfriendly.

Great restaurant. We made reservations in advance because there were no seats available that evening. Nice atmosphere and really nice service. Not only brought the food but really took an interest in us. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Thank you for a successful evening and also a special thank you for the lemon 🍋

Everything was super tasty, great service. Delicious wine, we would love to come back.

In the short term we were treated to delicious food and very friendly service. The game dishes are highly recommended.

The service was very friendly and attentive. Food itself was okay. The prices were quite high, but unfortunately the food couldn't quite keep up.

Unfriendly service. Eating is possible but only inside, while October is still nice and warm and sunny. The catch is that you can drink coffee outside (someone was sitting outside), but you can't eat. ToGo would have been possible, but we shouldn't have sat out that way. Not even with self-service, that was what we asked because the waitress didn't want to go out. Very stuffy inside. You notice that you don't have to rely on satisfied guests here because, from a tourist perspective, there is enough through traffic. I've never experienced anything like that. I can't rate the quality of the food, but since hospitality isn't a priority here, we won't try it. We would rather take our money to a restaurant with better hospitality.

A nice, cozy restaurant, there were two of us and we just managed to get a table by calling ahead. Seems to be in high demand. The food was very tasty (both had the chicken schnitzel breaded with cornflakes and with turnip) Price-performance ratio is right and the biggest plus point was the super friendly and funny service we had!

Great service staff. Food was okay to good.

Food great, service quick and attentive...

Worth a visit! Reservations are recommended, two seats were spontaneously found for us, we are very grateful for that! Staff was friendly and professional. Even the forgotten hiking stick was brought out. The food was very tasty, the selection varied. Food and drinks were brought quickly. Ambience is pleasant. Highly recommended!

Upscale dining establishment. Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere and a good selection of drinks.

Very tasty food and good service 😋

Great restaurant (many people know this now) with Italian food. The waitresses are very friendly and on the ball, your glasses will never be empty. The prices are reasonable. We paid just under 60 for 2x pasta, 1x starter, 2x beer, 2 soft drinks and a dessert. That's ok.

Very nice little place. Service is very friendly and only topped by the food quality

The Waitress wasnt overly friendly, but she was nice enough. I ordered a gnocchi and I can honestly say it was the largest serving of gnocchi I’ve ever had at a restaurant (globally). I normally eat a lot. But I didn’t not get through it. Meal wise - it was ok - but wasn’t amazing. It just lacked a lot of “taste”. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly though.

Super nette Bedienung,sehr schneller Service ,leckeres Essen und angenehme Portionsgröße. Hier kommt man gerne her.

There were eight of us at dinner. The service was attentive, friendly and super fast. Everyone enjoyed the food very much. We would love to come back here.

A bit hidden, but anyone who finds it will be rewarded with friendly service and good food.

We were there for dinner without a table reservation and were allowed to stay because a reservation is actually expected in the high season. The service was nice and took the order quickly. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. Food was generally ok and tasty. However, the portions of the dishes varied greatly. The goat cheese came with a hint of lettuce on 2 pieces of baguette. The large salad felt like it was 3x as big and was similarly priced. Pizzas were okay in size, but there was a bit too much cheese on top and the dough was too thick. The bruschetta was great without objection. The vegetarian version had a little too much feta cheese on it so the pizza with the olives and pickled tomatoes was very, very salty. Overall, okay with room for improvement.

The food is always good and the farm is pleasantly quiet. You can have a conversation and there is no car noise or loud music. Service very attentive and very nice.

It's great to sit in the courtyard without the noise of the street. The pizzas were super tasty.

Sehr schön im Hof gelegener Außenbereich. Bedienung war freundlich und auch bereit kleine Änderung am Essen vorzunehmen. (Beilagen) Das Essen an sich war auch lecker.

The atmosphere in the courtyard is very nice. Unfortunately it was ruined by the sloppy service. There was no welcome, just an annoyed eye roll when we asked for a table. I was ashamed of the guests I had invited to the restaurant for being treated in such a derogatory manner by the waitress. The whole time the waitress made us feel her annoyed “zero interest mentality”. Zero cordiality, just snappy answers. I had to constantly apologize to my guests that this is not the normal Saxon standard. At most, the GDR feeling was made up for. It's a shame about the lovely evening.

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere and great, very friendly employees.

Food was really tasty [fried lettuce hearts, caramelized goat cheese and lava cake]. Service was quick and very nice. Everything together perfect. Ok, prices are high, but I knew that beforehand and later found it appropriate.

Great service, dog-friendly and really good food (taste, portion, quality). Plenty of options for vegetarians and some vegan dishes too.

Our pizza was delicious, but unfortunately we all had a stomach ache the next day because it wasn't completely cooked. The service was quite stressed but tried to be friendly.

🤗I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Gambrinus restaurant in Bad Schandau and I can say that the food is really top notch! The selection was varied and I was impressed by the quality of the dishes. Every dish was prepared with a lot of love and the flavors harmonized wonderfully. It's obvious that the emphasis here is on fresh ingredients and craftsmanship. However, the service could be a little more joyful. While the service was correct and served its purpose, a friendly smile and a bit more enthusiasm would greatly improve the overall experience. At times it felt a bit distant, which is a shame because the atmosphere of the restaurant is otherwise very welcoming. Overall, however, my visit to Gambrinus was pleasant and I can highly recommend the restaurant for the excellent food. With a little more joy in the service it could be a truly outstanding experience.

Lovley visit and really enjoyed the service and food. Would go back if chance presents itself.

Toller und freundlicher Service, Essen war super und frisch zubereitet 👍🏼 Karte war reichhaltig und Ambiente sehr schön

We were very satisfied. Delicious pizzas...

After an extensive hike, we had a very tasty refreshment here. There were also sophisticated dishes for vegetarians!

Very good for eating out However, order a table beforehand

Nice and cozy atmosphere in the courtyard. In order to be sure to get a place, you should reserve. Our food was top! Especially the fried lettuce hearts with lentils were something different and very tasty. Very fast, polite and courteous service.

A very central and yet idyllic, very good restaurant. Service is quick and courteous. Food tastes excellent.

Unfortunately, during our visit the service wasn't particularly good and unfortunately I also found my pene Bolognese to be very bland in terms of taste for the high price. I had really expected more.

Nice restaurant, clean and the staff friendly

Everything is perfect in this restaurant! The food is really good, the service is very friendly and quick.

So the name evokes Czech beer, but they have my favorite Munich brewery on offer. The beer is therefore good (if the glass was frozen, it would be like in Mníšek pod Alpou). The veal is excellent, the service is nice, the swarm of wasps around the table is less.

We were turned away at 4:50 p.m. on the grounds that there was a break until 5:00 p.m. When asked whether we could sit down and maybe get something to drink, the break was mentioned again. Well, the four of us wanted to eat and drink, but apparently you don't have to rely on paying guests. It's a shame, because we know the restaurant from before - but before was... before 🤔

Very nice atmosphere and super nice service. The salad was really fresh and crunchy. The best I've ever been served in a restaurant. That made the evening very round.

Nice patio, but the staff not very welcoming, the food very greasy and tasted like it was defrosted.

This year, me and my family were on vacation for 14 days in Bad Schandau for the third time. The Gambrinus has become our favorite restaurant because it has a great ambience, very, very nice staff and delicious food. Always happy to come here, stay as you are! Your Fölsch family

Very nice courtyard and delicious food, friendly staff

Fast & friendly service, delicious food, decent portions and fair prices.

I can't recommend pizza. Very expensive and sometimes small portions.

We were lucky, many tables were reserved, but we still managed to get a seat. Service and food were great. Everything went very quickly, despite the many guests. So we had a successful evening all round. Thank you, we'll be back ;-)

Quite large portions of pizza: you can eat enough.

Delicious food. Friendly service and super cozy terrace

The food was quite good, although the lack of fries made the children sad. Diavolo pizza not very spicy. Good chicken and potatoes. Pleasant garden in the patio. The service was partly nice - one lady probably doesn't like foreigners, but the other one was polite. You can pay by card and the restaurant opens at 4 p.m.

We were here 3 times in a row during our vacation in Bad Schandau. The food was consistently delicious. But the high price is worth it. It's just not 08-15. The staff is flexible and always friendly with and especially without a reservation. The courtyard was busy every evening. Lovely to sit there. The drink order came after a few minutes and the food felt like less than 10 minutes. Really hungry after the hikes, really good. Overall, highly recommended!

Very tasty food in a cozy backyard in wonderful weather, only the wasps spoiled the visit. Very attentive staff, quick and friendly. We'd love to come back ☺️

Salad was fresh, and the red currant dressing was perfect. Pizza was very good with an excellent crust and the Diabolo was the first I've had in Germany that was actually spicy. The kellerbier on tap was excellent. Other members of our party enjoyed their pizzas and salads. Staff were a bit stressed but efficient.

Rude waiter and bad food, the food was taken from the freezer. Big no thanks…

Super poor experience, the food was not homemade and tasted like frozen food. On top of that, a grumpy and rude waiter. Very expensive compared to the incredibly poor quality. If I could give 0 stars it got it.

Good place to eat, nothing special but a good place.
