Gasthof Brauerei Schwanen in Ehingen (Donau)

There is a choice of food for everyone, there is something they like, but still a bit too expensive, sorry, at least for my budget, the atmosphere and staff are perfect🥰

Very friendly service, and the food was also excellent. We were guests of the Beer Culture Hotel, and the breakfast here in the restaurant was also very filling. I particularly like the scrambled eggs, which are made from real eggs, which are delicious. The many beers are also excellent. We'll definitely be back for the beer hike.

Highly recommended - very tasty food, great ambiance and super friendly service staff!

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable. The service was very professional and the atmosphere was quiet, and the atmosphere was super pleasant. The beers, as you would expect, were delicious.

Great atmosphere around beer, great food, great hotel and nice service, we will be happy to come back

Delicious house-brewed beer and specialty beers. There's a dedicated beer menu! Very good food. I enjoyed the 4-course beer menu. Four dishes, each paired with a matching beer. Large and tasty portions, and a decent glass of beer to go with it. Everything was perfect. Thanks to the chef and the friendly service.

We highly recommend it. Great value for money. We've been here several times.

The food was very good and plentiful. Special requests, such as menu changes, were accommodated. Friendly, attentive staff. Truly great, 100% recommended.

At the BierKulturHotel Schwaben, everything is perfect. The staff in the hotel, and especially in the restaurant, is very friendly, and they try to accommodate special requests. Everyone is always there to listen to guests. The food is plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend the hotel. Special highlights are the courses on beer, but also on gin.

The Gasthof Schwanen is a gem, passionately run by owners Michael and Dominic Miller. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, and you immediately feel welcome. The food is fantastic, especially the cheese spaetzle (cheese spaetzle) is a dream! The house beers and spirits are also a delight. You can feel the long family tradition and attention to detail at every turn. A visit is highly recommended!

Traditional restaurant with friendly service. We had booked the beer menu and were really more than full. We didn't manage to get all the beers.

Good food and a nice, cozy atmosphere!

The beer at the brewery was excellent, but the hotel was only okay; you'd expect more from a 4-star hotel. The restaurant smelled strongly of the kitchen, so we ate elsewhere. The beer selection and bar were very good, though.

Very good service, very good breakfast, highly recommended

Nice afternoon in the beer garden, delicious food and beer, very friendly service.

Here you can find an interesting selection of home-brewed beers and very tasty food 👍🏼

We stayed in the hotel's own restaurant and had dinner several days and breakfast every day in the brewery. It was perfect for us. The waiters were always very friendly, and even when the place was very busy, they never lost their smiles. We were able to meet the head chef personally, which is a wonderful thing about a family-run business. The food was outstanding. No matter what we ordered, it was all delicious. Breakfast also left nothing to be desired. And whatever wasn't there was brought to us. The beer ice cream (which is not for children) is highly recommended! We can absolutely recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back. THANK YOU!

We were there for breakfast with the family for the first time on Saturday. The selection, freshness, cleanliness and value for money deserve 5 stars. The staff and the boss are very friendly and you feel very comfortable.

Die Bedienungen sind sehr gut und freundlich, außerdem wird das bestellte Essen/Trinken sehr schnell gebracht. Zudem gibt es zum trinken sehr spezielle leckere Biere wie zum Beispiel verschiedene Sorten der Hauseigenen Brauerei oder auch verschiedene Variationen der ebenfalls Hausgemachten Limonade. Das Ambiente ist auch sehr schön. Man kann also zusammenfassend sagen dass die Brauerei Schwanen eine sehr besondere, gute Brauerei ist.

We stayed at the Gasthof Schwanen from May 16th to 18th, 2025. The staff was friendly and competent. The rooms were CLEAN and very COMFORTABLY furnished. The food was delicious, or rather, VERY delicious. Everything was topped off by the breakfast. We were very satisfied and delighted all around. The next beer hike is sure to come, and then we'll be heading back to the Gasthof Schwanen.

The room was clean and very nicely furnished. The price was a bit too high for my taste, hence only 4 stars.

completely satisfied, which was to be expected at this price.

We stayed at the hotel for four days and ate at the inn. The staff at both the hotel and the inn were friendly and accommodating. The food, both three and four-course meals, were very good. The selection of beers served with the four-course meal was excellent. The brewery tour explained the entire brewing process very well, and the beers served were also very good. We'll be back again.

The best brewery tour I've ever taken, the boss has top expertise and a very pleasant and entertaining way of talking about beer production. Beer tastes great and the menu leaves nothing to be desired. The price is a bit high but worth every cent.

The inn has a special flair and invites you to linger here. Next door is the brewery, you can also take a brewing and distilling course here. Or if you like, take a beer bath. A few colleagues and I were here at the Gasthof Schwanen to have a delicious meal one evening. The front area was very well occupied, but we were in the next room and it was also comfortable. The food was very tasty, but what I personally found to be a shame was that there were different portion sizes of fries. So it wasn't uniformly the same - in one case it was 1.5 handfuls while in the next it was only a handful. Service? Given how busy it was, it was quite understaffed. We had to wait several times, but probably the other guests too. This wasn't just when placing a drink order, but there were also delays when it came to eating. I don't know if this could have been prevented. But maybe next time it will simply be taken into account if a larger group registers and more staff will be deployed on these days. Otherwise, I found the beer tasting very tasty 😋 There could have been a lot more of the cheese - if more people wanted to try the beer tasting. 😅😁

The price/performance ratio at the breakfast buffet is unbeatable. Everything is fresh and attractively prepared, there are always new variations, everything is super delicious! Called the day before and got a table.

The price-performance ratio for breakfast is very good. A varied buffet is offered.

Nice, tasty, really nice, very friendly staff would be happy to come back again

We've eaten there several times but our last visit was very disappointing, the breaded veal schnitzel (Wienerschnitzel) was dry, tough and tasted like old fat and the potato salad had no taste. It's a shame, otherwise I always had a good meal there. My companion saw someone bringing ready-made frozen schnitzel into the kitchen. I asked the waitress if the chef had changed and she said no, I hope the chef hasn't lost his interest in cooking.

We have been coming for 9 years because we are very satisfied!

The food is great! The roast roast to the point! Their own beer is also very tasty and the selection of beers is huge! The service ladies could have a little more enthusiasm and joy in their work. They are friendly, but you don't get a smile. Otherwise it would be 5 stars!

Since we were in Berg the evening before, the bar was set very high. Conclusion: we didn't feel particularly comfortable in the Schwanen Inn. Food was good, beer was okay too, but the ambience (starting with the floor tiles) is somehow cool and old-fashioned. The staff: seems stressed, not attentive. My beer glass was empty for 45 minutes without anyone asking me if I would like to drink anything else (not even when I was clearing my plate). There are far better alternatives in Ehingen.

We stayed at Schwanen for 2 nights and were very disappointed with the service. Long wait for dinner - the waitress is not interested in the guests. No comment and no apology. The food is almost thrown on the table. Nobody is interested in supplies. Things were different in Paula's Alb and Berg. It's a shame as a renowned cultural beer hotel. Rooms and ambience are pleasant and very clean and tastefully decorated.

Super friendly and very competent beer expertise

Sehr gute, empfehlenswerte schwäbische Küche und verschiedene Bierspezialitäten. Der Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Service einwandfrei und für Fremdsprachler auch in Englisch.

We had breakfast at Schwanen today. Everything is right here! Service, quality, ambience and above all the price-performance ratio!! The staff was very friendly and we felt more than comfortable. All in all a great breakfast spot in and around Ehingen that is highly recommended!

I was here to eat at the restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and you are warmly welcomed. For dinner I had a salad with strips of beef. The food was so delicious and the meat was perfect. The restaurant is comfortably furnished. Highly recommended ☺️.

Good [own] beer, especially great tasting offers...everyone can also order small portions of food.

Great service, good Swabian food 😎

Lange aufs Essen gewartet, nach 45 Minuten hat der Koch festgestellt, dass das Essen, das ich bestellt habe ausgegangen ist. Dann nochmals lange gewartet. Es war aber fast keine Gäste im Lokal sodass die lange Wartezeit gerechtfertigt gewesen wäre. Das Essen war dann fast kalt und hat nicht gut geschmeckt.

Went there for lunch, unfortunately the schnitzel was very disappointing. Because of the shape, I'm assuming TK Ware. The salad was served with shepherd's cheese in a Greek style, something I don't expect in a good middle-class brewery inn. The cheese spaetzle were very tasty. The service was great.

Great restaurant, food really tasty.

First class food and typical local dishes. Highly recommend your own beer.

A very successful evening that I received as a Christmas present from my wife and I was very excited to see how the evening turned out. Micha was able to tell us a lot about beer, how it is made and the many types that exist around the world. We were able to be there live and watch how beer was brewed. Many questions were asked and these were answered very precisely. Overall, this evening was not only beautiful and entertaining, but also very informative. We will stop by Micha's again in the near future and hope to get a great beer accompaniment. The food was also very tasty and went very well with this beer evening. We were able to get to know Micha, a beer brewer who introduced us to the world of beers with a lot of passion and arrangement. We are happy to recommend the Schwanen Brewery.

Nice, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Unfortunately, the food was served lukewarm and at a different time, so that it was completely cold by the time each family member had their dish. In terms of taste, the dishes were all mediocre and therefore unfortunately different than expected given the prices.

Mittagessen am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag war dem saftigen Preis nicht angemessen. Jeder meiner 5 eingeladenen Gäste war nicht zufrieden (lauwarme Pommes, trocknes und zähes Fleisch. Schwarzkraut statt Blaukraut zu Wildgulasch etc.) Keine Empfehlung für dieses Restaurant. Wenn möglich ausweichen auf "Paula's Alb" in Ehingen.

Das schlechteste Schnitzel das ich je gegessen habe. Service nicht gut. Zeh wie Leder, hat alt gerochen Parade nicht gut.

The worst schnitzel I've ever eaten in my life.

Very tasty and rich food. The service was nice and too accommodating. We would be happy to come back.

Ich bin sehr unzufrieden über den sanitärbereich wenn man mit Rollstuhl Bucht und eine eingeschränkte im Gehen hat kann man bei der Reservierung darauf achten dass man sagt die Toiletten sind erste Etage. Mit der Küche bin ich sehr unzufrieden. Unabhängig ob Feiertage sind ja oder nein dann braucht man Personal die von sieben Essen sich nur sechs merken können dann kommt man wieder frägt noch mal 10 Minuten später kommt man dann dann ist ein Essen aus das darf nicht passieren. Dann essen fünf Leute dann kommt ein Essen mehr wie verspätet das 7 Essen fehlte und dann schiebt man noch schnell Pommes und Schnitzel das Schnitzel war roh die Panade war noch feucht es war kalt und zäh. Es kann nicht sein ,dass ein traditionelles Essen am ersten Feiertag im ersten durchgang schon aus ist, zumal nach uns auch noch welche traditionelles Essen Wollten Ich finde es traurig wäre man nicht in Familien gewesen , hätte man mit Sicherheit auch was gesagt. Schnitzel ist das einfachste Essen das kann selbst ein blinder Koch und einer mit ein Arm zubereiten. Der Service war sehr freundlich, kann aber das eigentliche Problem dann auch nicht wieder wettmachen. Wir kommen nicht wieder

Schnitzel was nothing, game goulash was good, only the wrong side dish was given. Beer was good.

Hello everyone, picked up my mother for Christmas dinner today. Table was reserved. We then found something with the small map, nothing extraordinary but still a challenge. Most of them found schnitzel with fries and ordered it. The food was finally brought. As soon as the plate was brought it became clear that nothing was going to happen. The schnitzels were not properly fried, the game goulash was more like beef. which chef it was, if any. Thank you for the 1st Advent. Jürgen Dollesche with family. We will never come back

Super tasty food and good attentive service. We'd love to come back!

The food is always excellent and the service is friendly and quick. Home-brewed beer is an experience. We always enjoy coming back for dinner

This is how BierKulturWellness works: Great four-course menu, whether salad with beer samico, caramelized malted potatoes as a side dish or ice cream made from our own beer. Beer is the central theme here. And then there was the right beer for each course: Pale Ale, Jackpot, Zwickel and Simco 3. Yes, and there was the brewery tour and the beer spa... Gladly again

The food and beers were very good. Huge selection. The tasting offers where you get several beers in small glasses were particularly great. Unfortunately, there is no something to nibble on or have a snack with the beers.

Great buffet, for a reasonable price.

Very friendly service, delicious food and a very large selection of beers - both our own and craft beer

We stayed at the hotel and did the beer hiking trail part 1 and part 2. The rest days must be noted in advance. But despite a few days of rest, we had a lot of fun. We were here in November, when the hike was a little quieter. I can only recommend it and at the end of the tour there was a delicious beer and a delicious dinner at Schwanen. The hotel offers everything your heart desires. The breakfast at Schwanen leaves nothing to be desired. I can only recommend it. The diversity of the beer range caters to different wishes and needs, so everyone can find something for themselves. The brewery tour was very informative and led personally by the boss. So take a picture of here for yourself. The city of Ehingen also offers other things.

good and cheap lunch, highly recommended

Good food with friendly service. Everything is good in terms of price.

Uncomfortable restaurant, friendly and courteous service, delicious food, good beer and everything at very fair prices! Recommended.

A great meal with great service! The beer is very tasty and is professionally brewed on site. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back

Dishes were a bit small. Especially the Flädlesuppe was not measurably so little but €6.50

Always very friendly staff and excellent food! We really enjoy coming here!

A pleasant restaurant, cozy and super delicious food. We ordered the beer menu. Great beer recommendation with food. Very friendly staff.

Super friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommended at any time 🫠 Ordered the beer menu and ate it very, very well. Simply great.

During our stay we took part in a gin distilling course. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun during a culinary evening.

Großes Lob an den Service und an die Küche. ☆☆☆☆☆ Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. ☆☆☆☆☆ Alles sehr sauber und rustikal und gemütlich eingerichtet. ☆☆☆☆☆

Good beer and good food at reasonable prices.

Haben schon 2 × im dazugehörenden Hotel ein Wochenende verbracht. Nur zum empfehlen. Das Essen und das Frühstück super lecker.Donnerstags Gamba satt.Sehr lecker.Hätte mir aber eine richtig gute Aioli dazu gewünscht.

Very nice rooms, varied, rich breakfast. The beers are also very tasty. However, the food in the restaurant was very mixed. The quality of the a la carte left a lot to be desired, but the set meal (beef beer steak) was excellent

We had a delicious menu. The service was competent, courteous and very friendly. We'd love to come back.

I was only there briefly to try the porter and thought it was simply delicious. Luckily there was nothing going on yet so I was able to talk to the service staff: a very nice young group! I'll be back =)

It was actually a pretty nice brewery restaurant, but the food was third rate. And the beer is relatively expensive. It's a shame, we remembered this place better.

Service is very good 👍. Haven't eaten anything.

As a woman, I find the portions really small. Unfortunately you won't get full there. Too bad.

Very good cuisine, beautiful garden restaurant

Want to enjoy a beer today. The young male service staff was great, quick and always friendly. Unfortunately, the service from the kitchen and beverage production was very, very slow and we had to wait a long time. The service staff were overwhelmed and uncoordinated. The waiting time was simply too long and the tables were cleared very late. Unfortunately my Martini Rouge was also somehow wrong. Salt-rimmed glass with lemon? Mm strange combination, what a shame. But the beer was delicious 😋 and the beer ice cream with beer liqueur is highly recommended

Good food and good service Unfortunately, the stay in the beer garden on August 24th, 2024 was marred by a group of drunk men, burping and shouting drinking songs.

My experience: The waitresses were friendly and attentive. Drinks came very quickly and were cleared away quickly. The food, however, was unfortunately mediocre. Here the price-performance ratio for a pork schnitzel (€18.40) was not right. I was looking forward to the schnitzel with fries I ordered. I got two small round pieces of meat with fries. The fries had no salt/spice and the meat was unfortunately totally dry and without any taste. It's a shame actually. With a schnitzel I thought you can't go wrong. For me personally, a second visit to the Schwanen Restaurant is out of the question. Unfortunately!

Great, creative beers and very good Swabian food, cozy atmosphere and exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. Absolute recommendation!

Delicious scampi’s 🍤 all you can eat. Delicious beer 🍺 on a beautiful terrace. We always like to come back.

Excellent brewing seminar which is educational and we learned so much.

I was in the restaurant recently - actually a very pleasant atmosphere and very tasty food. However, the blonde waitress often seemed very uninterested and we also saw her very rarely. Maxi, on the other hand, was very nice and accommodating. 4 stars.

Nice beer garden, attractive restaurant.

Guter Service, gutes Essen , sehr informative Brauereiführung mit Bierprobe und anschließendem Biermenu. Ebenfalls empfehlenswert ist das zugehörige Hotel.

Waited a long time, no information during that time, the food (lentils with silk sausage) was dried out and unfortunately looked pretty nasty. The sausages were also split open and shriveled up. The taste was pretty bland. And charging almost €18 for it is really very unreasonable.

Great food and the beer selection is phenomenal. 0.1 liter glasses are also offered to try

Went to Gasthof Schwanen today with a work colleague and I was thrilled! The traditional Swabian food was absolutely delicious - from the Maultaschen to the onion roast, everything was perfectly prepared. The portions were generous and the flavors authentic. I would also like to particularly emphasize the friendly service, which was always attentive and courteous. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy real Swabian cuisine.

Nice restaurant with plenty of beer selection

In my opinion, portions are a bit small. In my opinion, the taste was okay, unfortunately the food we ordered didn't come at the same time, so I was almost finished when the person opposite started eating. In my opinion, one schnitzel tasted a little bland and dry. Beer selection is very good and recommended for beer lovers!

Fine food, beautiful beer gardens. Cold beer. Thanks.

Very tasty food and cozy atmosphere. Wishes are implemented quickly.

Very good restaurant and hotel!!! We stayed here for a week with our grandson. Very good cuisine cooked with fresh regional ingredients and seasoned perfectly for us! Friendly service and delicious beers. Our little one liked the Maultaschen the best! We were very satisfied.

Total disaster. Food was still not at the table after 1 hour, despite having made a reservation and pre-ordering the meals in a group of 40 people. They were totally unprepared. Team incompetent unfriendly older grey-haired blonde woman with 80s hairstyle was so nasty to customers. That for a moment I thought it was escalating.

Were here for the “Candle-Light Dinner” as part of our “Cuddle Time” arrangement from the hotel opposite. The so-called “Candle-Light Dinner” was a total failure. The table was placed right next to the bar, which meant clattering dishes all the time, glasses being washed, a radio playing the news... terrible background noise. The table was carelessly set, a simple tablecloth with a candlestick, that was it. No special features to set the arrangement apart, such as other napkins or other decorations. When we asked for another table because it wasn't possible to have a pleasant conversation because of the noise, we were just looked at puzzled and didn't ask why. 3 meters away we were more or less involuntarily offered a table, which we then took. Unfortunately the staff was inattentive and uninterested. The first table was cleared away straight away, the tablecloth and candles were not set at the new table. Throughout the “dinner” the staff was not the least bit friendly, no smiles or other politeness. We were asked by another couple what our impressions were and we all agreed. Unfortunately I can't leave it unmentioned... The stay wouldn't have been so negatively remembered if I hadn't had food poisoning after the "candle-light dinner", which luckily cleared up within 3 days. I suspect that something was wrong with the salmon because I wasn't feeling well that same evening and unfortunately I had to spend the next day in my room.

Fast, uncomplicated and excellent! Picked up the daily special twice today - it was quick and easy. And it tasted great! Parking on site is a bit of a challenge but doable

Ich habe es abgeholt, und das ging schnell, unkompliziert und schmeckte hervorragend. Das Packen vor dem Restaurant ist eine kleine Herausforderung, aber machbar. Die Bedienung war wirklich sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

The food is really very tasty for the price, the price is perfectly fine, you get full and it is delivered hot. What I didn't like so much was that the service wasn't that friendly. The other younger ones were very friendly and approachable.
