Gasthof Vorderbrand in Schönau a.Königssee

Everything just fits here. From the great view to the fantastic cuisine and the friendly service to the Berchtesgaden beer!

Very nice....Food simply delicious....Hildegard and Rüdiger are 110% committed to what they do...very good...we'll be back...surroundings and accommodation very nice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars The Gasthof Vorderbrand is a true jewel in Schönau am Königssee! The service here is first class and leaves nothing to be desired. The view from the terrace over the Berchtesgaden valley is simply breathtaking and a highlight in itself. The food is a delight for the palate - very well prepared and with fresh ingredients. Special praise goes to the chef for the heavenly Kaiserschmarrn, which is truly to die for. The portions are generous so it's easy to share. Families with children will get their money's worth here, as there is a great playground where the little ones can let off steam. Overall, the Gasthof Vorderbrand offers a perfect mix of a cozy atmosphere, excellent cuisine and a fantastic location. A visit here is highly recommended for anyone who wants to fully enjoy the beauty of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

The best meal I've had on my trip to Germany/Austria. What an amazing place. Great comfort food. Welcoming staff. Amazing alpine decor. Great facilities. Breathtaking view. Just Perfect!!!

Great food, fair prices. Very family atmosphere. The best guesthouse of our vacation.

The best landlady at Königssee!!! Food delicious, service very nice. Great atmosphere! I can only recommend!!!

Restaurant on the mountain, everything is very tasty and, as a bonus, a great view from the mountain.

Unique view to match the rustic, cozy atmosphere. Tasty food and great service.

Very good food 👍 100% recommended

The portion of sausage salad was a bit too small. Otherwise everything was okay. Nice and fast service.

Fast and friendly service, very pleasant

A well-rounded thing! Great hut ambience, super nice service staff with original charm. We were able to enjoy the great porcini mushroom dish and our children enjoyed the delicious Kaiserschmarrn. Prices are reasonable and at the lower end (real Viennese veal schnitzel for 22-25 euros depending on the side dish!). We give 5++ stars in all respects!

Very friendly staff, extremely good food. Gladly again.

If you are hiking at Jenner, a must away from the tourists. Great food.

The kitchen has mastered its craft, all due respect. The service is friendly and accommodating. The ambience is true to the original, rustic and cozy. I think we will eat here more often.

Beautiful and cozy guesthouse. Friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Location very nicely decorated. The ceiling lights are an eye-catcher. Very nice service and what is most interesting, the food is very good. If you like pork crust, you should try the Schäufele. The sauce is heavenly.

Good food, very friendly service. We always like coming here.

Always beautiful. Great service and delicious food

Simply recommended 👍🏻, great service, beautiful ambience, delicious food. Happy to come back 😊

The ambience was very nice and the cuisine impressed us. We had an excellent meal and were well looked after. However, the side salad for 3 euros was a bit sparse and not particularly creative - a little lettuce and a small half tomato don't seem enough to me for the price. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with anything else. We'd love to come back next time.

It was the best food we had during our Germany trip!! The veal schnitzel was amazing!!!

Very good food. Friendly service. We still got food even though the kitchen had already closed.

Everything fine Friendly, fast and good food with a wonderful view

We went here to eat and were not disappointed. A very varied menu, tasty cuisine, an attentive waiter and an active boss who occasionally asked about our well-being. Even though we were here for the first time today! During our stay, the waiter also repeatedly asked whether we were satisfied or whether he could do anything for us. And all of this without being intrusive. You feel welcome here as a guest. Heart, what more do you want! We'd love to come back.

We ate dinner there every day during our vacation 🥰 The 4km serpentine path up is not UNFORTUNATE - but it's worth it in everything!! The boss and staff are so friendly and maintain a family atmosphere that is rarely found 🌈 The food is unsurpassable, very, very good 👍👍👍👍👍 Bergtesgaden’s definitely the best address ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

The food was delicious, the staff were courteous and friendly, the atmosphere and furnishings were pleasant and the setting was fantastic.

A place to come back to. Great food, friendly service and fantastic surroundings

You are great! With you it's like coming home! The service is top! The food was always very tasty and fresh! Today the fresh mushrooms and linguine were perfect! The view from you, unbeatable! We can only recommend you! Stay as you are!

I can only recommend this inn! We stopped on the descent to Königssee and were not disappointed. Great view, great offer, great prices! A clear recommendation is the Kaiserschmarrn - excellent and large portion!

5 good reasons for 5 stars 😁 Warm hospitality and great hosts Fantastic location on the mountain 🗻🌄 Great room with a great view of the valley Delicious breakfast in a wonderfully quiet location 😊 Great dinner in the restaurant 😁 We'll definitely be back 👍 Thank you very much for the lovely time

Wonderful place high above Berchtesgaden. The food is down-to-earth, the quality and taste are excellent! We were particularly happy about homemade apricot dumplings and Kaiserschmarren for dessert. The boss cooks himself, a family business that convinced us! Thanks!

Lovely place, perfect size, to enjoy beautiful natural scenery. The lady who served us is absolutely special, nice, friendly and witty. The food is good, tasty, and the portions are perfect you won't go away hungry. We felt so comfortable in this place that we stayed there for 4 hours 😃 You can get there on foot if you have a good pace and a lot of breath, there are many paths around if you want to move around, of course you can get there comfortably by car with a beautiful road full of panoramic corners on the Watzmann. In short, absolutely go and eat and relax in this place. 👍🤩👍🤩

We ate at the Berggasthof Vorderbrand today. Everything is very lovingly furnished and even if the weather wasn't quite ideal, we were able to sit outside in a dry place. Ms. Runge and her team are very warm and accommodating. The food is absolutely top notch and not too expensive for the quality offered. I can recommend the economy without reservation. Addition from August 2024: We ate with the Runge family again this year and it was another experience! Our recommendation for the inn remains unreserved!

OMG...I'm not a vegetarian, but the spelled risotto is legendary ♥️...I have no idea why the older landlady should be unfriendly...she was incredibly nice to us...we enjoyed our time there so much and are happy to come back..., a dream♥️♥️♥️

Amazing food and service! Views are spectacular! Just beautiful!

Just great Food very tasty Service very good Can be recommended with a clear conscience

Beautiful place, delicious food, great location!!!!

Very nice inn with a wonderful view! The food was really delicious! I would particularly like to emphasize the extremely friendly and warm service and the fact that they reserved a table for us inside, as you can't eat in peace outside at the moment because of the extremely large number of wasps. We will be back definitely!

It's a bit off the beaten track, but the journey is definitely worth it. Great Bavarian cuisine and wonderfully located.

It was a pleasure to stay with you again and enjoy the good food, drink, friendliness and beautiful landscape. Many thanks to Hildegard and Rüdiger and the great team

Unsurpassedly great for many years! Phenomenal!!

Food GREAT! Rustic atmosphere, very nice staff. We are happy to recommend it

A very nice, rustic inn, in a quiet location with beautiful alpine huts, you can also eat and drink well there, very quiet

Clocky atmosphere with very nice service and really good food. Gladly again!

Very nice inn, the service is friendly. We were happy with everything and definitely recommend him.

The Runge family, simply top, couldn't be better. We know each other from Grünsteinstübel. Again and again.😀😍

It's our favorite restaurant. The one we go to most often and where we end our vacation. Magnificent view, welcome, cuisine...

Unfortunately, we were greeted so unfriendly that we didn't want to linger, the waiter insulted us because we asked if a table was available where the guests had just paid, the Königbachalm then compensated us

Super nice location and view from the terrace. We arrived (unfortunately) just before time and were still served warmly and with a lot of joy! Food was very tasty and beautiful to look at! Always happy!

This was the best schnitzel I have had while visiting Austria and Germany. Service was fantastic and the views were great too! A must stop by place for rural views and traditional food.

The Alm is an absolute adventure on our mountain hike. My daughter discovered the playground for herself. And as is often the case in life, we felt warmly invited by the cozy atmosphere and drank a beer and ate some ice cream. I can only recommend. Very hospitable, beer and ice cream was good too. Gladly again.

When we are in Berchtesgaden, the Gasthof Vorderbrand is a must. Once again, after more than 9 years since my first visit there, the food is delicious, the service is friendly and the view is a dream. The children's Bolognese in particular was great. But our dishes were also impressive, not least because of the great wild herbs. Thanks so much!

Very nice mountain inn, located over 1000m high, great panorama. Good food, friendly staff

Breathtakingly beautiful view, fast, friendly service.

Enjoy your meal, My steak was 👍🏼 exactly as it should be The side dish (fried potatoes) is very tasty 😋 Everything was great, as was the view! Thanks!!

Nice garden, very good food, nice view in a quiet location

Very nice location, friendly service and family-friendly prices.

Delicious food, very friendly staff, rustic atmosphere. There is a great playground.

Great location. The landlady and the entire team are very friendly. Tasty food that shows the use of good basic products. Portions plentiful. We will definitely come back.

Rustically furnished like a mountain hut, alpine music, great view with sunset, fruity spelled Kaiserschmarrn and then a round of swings!

You should not drive a vehicle that is too large to get there, it is a very narrow, confusing and winding road. Food was ok, small manageable portions, nothing for those very hungry. Counted frozen fries were partly raw. 1 order was forgotten, so that one person only got their dish when the rest of us were already finished - absolutely not possible! Overpriced prices, 1 Wiener Schnitzel with frozen fries over €21.00. Portion of cranberry jam €1.90. Sundae Hot Love almost €8.00. Even the beautiful view isn't worth it. But the landlady is nice, the landlord didn't even greet us when we left.

Everything went great. The food was very good and the service was very nice. I would love to come back.

Beautiful beer garden, very tasty Schäufele eaten, first-class service

Fantastic location, friendly staff, delicious food, dog-friendly, highly recommended

Cozy, beautiful inn with a beautiful guest garden. Very good cuisine

Came here as a stopover on the descent of the Jenner. I ordered Kaiserschmarrn. It is freshly prepared on site and the portion was huge. We recommend. I have now saved the place and will eat here if I ever go to Jenner again.

After a long search for “where to eat today”? We came across the inn and decided to have communion there. It was definitely the right decision. You were warmly welcomed and seated. Drinks came very quickly and food was ordered. Due to the prices we expected very small portions. Of course we were pleasantly surprised when the plates arrived to us lavishly prepared. I have never eaten such ingenious and delicious veal goulash. The butter buttons that went with it were a revelation. Even though we actually had no room left in our stomachs, we decided to order a Kaiserschmarrn because of the excellent reviews. Well, how could it be otherwise... It was also sensational in taste and very lavishly prepared. We really enjoyed the evening and can recommend it without reservation.

Excellent food, very friendly waiters, the delicious Kaiserschmarrn was almost impossible to pass up.

We made a quick stop on the descent. Super Service. Delicious snack. Very friendly service. In a calm neighborhood. Absolutely recommended!

Very tasty food and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Good prices and only a short waiting time after ordering your food. We recommend.

Super delicious food, top service with a nice, rustic atmosphere and dogs allowed :)

Food was delicious and the location great. Staff very friendly and lovely

Nice inn, beautifully decorated for Christmas, friendly service, food was delicious.

It was a beautiful day. We were able to enjoy the sun outside. The boss got a table especially for us so we could eat. Very nice local👍Very lovely owner-run inn. We'll be back in summer. Wednesday is a rest day 😎

Freundlicher Service, gutes Essen.

With so many good reviews, I think we just had a bad day today. We were in Berchtesgaden for a day and spontaneously came to the inn. We were more or less ignored after ordering coffee. After ordering my pumpkin cream soup, it arrived after what felt like a minute. (Doesn't indicate freshness!) This tasted like everything but pumpkin. Taste cannot be defined, but unfortunately anything but good. The Kaiserschmarrn we ordered was dripping in fat and almost liquid on the inside. Maybe it's their way of preparing Kaiserschmarrn, but unfortunately we didn't like it at all. We were served in a friendly manner by only 2 employees. The 3rd person didn't seem to be interested. After further ignoring from the staff, we went to the counter to pay. Here it said “Payment payment not possible, device has just failed”. Luckily my companion had cash with him, otherwise we would have had a problem. We definitely won't eat here again.

Had a wonderful evening with very good food and perfect attentive service staff. My recommendation

Very good food (price/performance appropriate), staff super nice and friendly, the inn including the view is a dream. No matter whether summer or winter. We love it up here and are completely thrilled every time

The route to this somewhat remote inn is definitely recommended. The food is very tasty and the large portions will satisfy even the hungriest hiker. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, even the boss asked if everything was OK. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and you can read the newspaper while you wait for your meal. The price-performance ratio is perfectly fine. We'll be back soon in daylight because the view should be nice too.

Great food. Very beautiful view. Unfortunately a bit difficult to reach in snow.

Essen sehr lecker. Preis und Leistung Verhältnis stimmt. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Sehr gemütlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir wurden von der ersten Sekunde an sehr herzlich behandelt und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Ausblick ist unglaublich und das Essen zaubert einem Wärme in den Bauch und ein dickes, zufriedenes Grinsen ins Gesicht.

Wir sind zum Urlaub hier, dieser Gasthof wurde uns weiterempfohlen und jetzt wissen wir auch warum. Das Essen ist super lecker, der Service sehr freundlich und immer mit einem lächeln auf den Lippen. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen!

Sehr, sehr guter Gasthof mit der besten Küche weit und breit. Sehr nette Wirtsleut. Jederzeit mehr als empfehlenswert

Eine mega tolle Wirtschaft mit bestem Essen, ein kühles Bier und im Winter an der Kachelofen anlehnen... ein Traum.

Tolles Ambiente. Das Essen ist ein Traum. Die Bedienung ist sehr Freundlich man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Wir als Familie sind schon das 3mal hier und wir kommen von weit weg.

Restaurant einfach ein muss . Die Bedienung sowas von freundlich, man fühlt sich wie zuhause. Ein muss für jeden. Wir waren zwar „nur essen“ aber ich denke die Zimmer sind auch ein Traum

Sehr freundlich Bedienung und beste Essenzubereitung

Essen und Service top Komme gerne wieder....

Hat uns sehr gut gefallen dort.

Sehr schöner Gasthof. Freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man kann auch einen Schwatz mit der Wirtin und dem Personal machen. Kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr gutes Mittagessen, angenehme Atmosphäre

Tolles Aussicht Leckeres Essen Ambiente wunderschön Service 👍👍so was von Freundlich und zuvorkommend Danke auch an die Chefin für die Ehrlichkeit wegen dem Steak Salz Wir kommen wieder wenn wir in der Nähe sind ❤️

Die Frage nach dem Standort ist schwer zu beschreiben, weil - direkte Sicht auf das Kehlstein Haus - ob das nun gut oder schlecht ist. Wir rätselten schon ob mit einer direkten Sicht ein gewisser Zusammenhang von früher herzustellen ist. Leicht zu erreichen ist das Lokal nie. Von der Buchenhöhe führt eine breite asphaltierte Straße bis ans Ende, nach dem Parkplatz Hinterbrand, wo auch der Weg zur Mittelstation der Jennerbahn führt. Über das Essen kann ich überhaupt nichts Negatives sagen. Meine verschiedenen Pilze hätten vielleicht ein bisschen mehr Salz oder Gewürze vertragen, gut aber dass dies nicht nach Geschmacksstoffe klingt *sehr gut* Der Speck zwischen den Pilzen war sehr angenehm gelungen. Nicht zu durch und schön rosa, hat trotzdem seinen Geschmack hinzu gegeben. Nur ein bisschen Würze wäre insgesamt geil gewesen, auch beim Salat ... Alles schaut sehr schön aus. Beim Salat hat alles gepasst, nur ein bisschen die Würze. Pfeffer, Kräutersalz, würde reichen. Der Kellner hat uns die Beilagenteller hingeknallt. Er hat ein wenig abwesend, betrunken oder extrem gelangweilt gewirkt. Wir sind schon Kellner gewöhnt die lebendiger wirken. Der Junge hat vorher was genommen - der war durch. Die Hauptspeisen kamen durch die Chefin höchst persönlich. Das wahr super. Aber das war bis zu dem unschönen Vorfall immer so, deswegen waren wir über das Granteln so enttäuscht. Die Chefin, die uns 4 damals sehr harsch und grob davon gehagt hat, weil sie schon Gäste hätte und wir ihr zu viel des Guten wären, ... uns diesmal auch persönlich bediente, war diesmal auch besonders freundlich, was uns sehr gefreut hat. Denn meine letzte ungenügende Rezension ist voraussichtlich daraus entstanden, dass die Chefin wohl sehr gestresst war. Aber Freundlichkeit hilft.

Die besten Käsespätzle ever! Achtung, Suchtgefahr! 😋🤤 Der Kaiserschmarrn ist auch der Hammer 😎👌🏻

Unser Urlaub fand hier ein würdiges Ende! Sehr leckeres Essen, wunderbares Ambiente und freundliche Bedienung!!

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal 😊

Urigen, gemütliches Lokal mit wunderschöner Aussicht. Wir waren zum Abendessen im Gasthaus. Schäufle, Semmelknödel mit Pilzrahm und Kaiserschmarrn- alles sehr lecker, frisch zubereitet und zügig serviert. Sehr freundliches Personal. Danke für den schönen Abend!

Wir waren dieses Jahr mehrmals dort zum Essen, kennen das Lokal schon seit sehr vielen Jahren. Essen, Service, Ambiente sind super, egal was wir assen es war immer super gut. Preisleistung sind okay. Biergarten sowie Innenlokal sind schön bayrisch und gemütlich. Bis 2024.
