Gaststätte Echostüberl in Schönau a.Königssee

The yeast dumplings were a poem ❤️❤️❤️

Unfortunately the waiter was here on Saturday, November 30th. not very customer oriented and very incapable of criticism. After feedback on the Kaiserschmarn, which tasted like an omelette without any flour, we were informed that the three other guests had not complained. Very unprofessional and the completely wrong way of dealing with criticism. When the bill was asked, the waiter clearly looked at the full plate and had no interest in asking if anything was wrong. After the dish could no longer be canceled and we accepted it kindly, it was still explained in a continuous loop that complaints had to be reported in advance, as if the customer had to know how the cash register system worked. Very unnecessary behavior, as the restaurant initially attracted positive attention and the other four dishes were very tasty and you left almost 80 euros on the table. Even if the catering industry is not without its problems, the professional acceptance of friendly and objective criticism is always part of it!

Good place to eat and cozy to linger

Very nice restaurant and delicious food. View is fantastic

Went to eat in the Echostüberl for a short detour after the tour of Königssee. The ambience is great and it is rustically furnished. I chose a plaice fillet. Unfortunately there was too much of the breading and it was baked too much. I can therefore only recommend the court to a limited extent.

Great service, food very tasty 😋

The food is very good, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is professional, we will be back.

Always happy to come here. Food was great

A little away from the hustle and bustle of Lake Königsee, a wonderful inn directly on the shore with a unique view. The waitresses are pleasantly friendly and attentive. The quality of the food is impeccable.

Super nice, rustic restaurant right on Königssee. Very friendly staff and the family offering is particularly noteworthy. Here you get a huge platter with a large selection (cheese spaetzle, sausages, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, schnitzel and fries) and all at an unbeatable price. This will feed at least 2 adults and 2 children.

It was a good place but with a bit too much mosquitos :)

The food is good and the view is beautiful

Very long waiting times, unmotivated and sometimes unfriendly service.

From the soup to the schnitzel, everything was tasty, highly recommended and open early!

We actually only went to the restaurant because the parking fees from the parking lot in front of it could be used as a credit. In the end we were very satisfied, drank coffee and ate desserts such as yeast dumplings, apple strudel and quark strudel. There is a great view of the Königssee.

Very nice restaurant, I was completely satisfied. Thank you very much

The food was very tasty, but the portion could have been a little larger. The draft beer was very tasty, but unfortunately the iced tea only came from a Tetra Pak. Otherwise a great atmosphere and highly recommended.

A restaurant on the lake with great views. Parking nearby.

This restaurant relies solely on the good lakeside location. The food is accordingly in need of improvement. Unfortunately my toast was served lukewarm. Service was OK.

The food is delicious, but there will be a lot of bugs attracted by your delicious food in the outdoor seating, so remember, outdoor is only suitable for drinking, it is better to eat indoors

Well attended restaurant, quick service, food was top, you didn't have to wait long for everything you ordered. Price and performance very good. And of course the view of the lake, just idyllic.

A very cozy inn, friendly service and great food at reasonable prices.

Really great, food was delicious and service was very friendly. We'd love to come back! 😃👍

Location directly on Königssee. We know friendlier service staff. The chef will be doing his guests a big favor if he no longer frys the meat in the pan for too long. But the waitress wasn't interested. Too bad we won't come back. There are significantly better restaurants in the surrounding area!!!

Get used to a sensible tone when dealing with guests, RUDE.

They couldn’t have been ruder to us. Tourist trap.

Don’t go here. Rude horrible service

This is our second time here in the Echostüberl. And I have to say top service and very tasty food. We are completely satisfied 👌🏻. And the location is a dream👍🏻.

Great place right on Königssee 😊

Great view of the Königsee and the hustle and bustle at the pier. Fast and attentive service. Food OK and inexpensive

Nice restaurant right on Königssee. Prices are okay for the region. Is recommended.

The food is high quality and the location is simply great.

Delicious, plentiful food and a beautiful view of Lake Königssee

Fantastic location on Königsee!!! Good food, large selection, nice service staff, great ambience.

a nice and a bit less crowded spot than the rest of surrounding area with average food with nice views of the lake

Very nice restaurant right on Königssee. Price/performance is fair. Parking costs 8 euros, which can be offset against the restaurant.

right on the lake, nice terrace

Very nice view of the Königssee🙂

So let's why the stars. Food: I wanted a weisswust, I got a weisswurst with a pretzel, I was excited 😁 Service: great, after my broken English, we agreed that we can speak Czech😝 when the service is from the Czech Republic. Atmosphere: mega, Königsee, beautiful weather and a pleasant restaurant on the shore. D.O.P.O.R.Č.UJ.I.👏

Eaten well for years. In 2024, a lot of things have changed for the worse. It was very well attended. Annoyed service, but then friendly. Roast pork with dumplings a 6. Tough, dumplings not cooked through with ready-made sauce. Schnitzel with fries… ok. Fries limp. Plate chipped at the edge. Mayonnaise in the tube, half open from the previous one. Tourist rip-off won. Not again. It's a shame about the 60 euros. We were always happy to be there. Totally disappointed, very slacked off. 2 stars for the view.

The restaurant is located directly on Lake Königssee and you have a very nice view from there. The food, roast pork with dark beer sauce, red cabbage and a dumpling, tasted very good👍🏼💪🏼👋🏼

A warm atmosphere, pure sunshine

The Leberkas was fried too much. The egg was probably in the pan too long. My wife's brawn didn't contain enough onions... Otherwise, the look of the Königssee was super good. The service was quick and polite and we didn't have to wait long.

Great location right on Lake Königssee, a bit away from the tourist crowds, delicious food on offer at acceptable prices. Great view over the lake from the terrace.

Very nice at Königssee. Food was very good and service was very friendly

I was a guest at the Echostüberl on August 27th, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. and would like to share my experience. Unfortunately, the visit was anything but pleasant. The older lady with blonde hair was extremely rude, constantly angry and extremely impatient. Your behavior negatively affected our entire trip. I am very disappointed and will never recommend this restaurant.

Very friendly service and very good food

The food was mediocre and the portion was very small for the price. Of course you pay for the ambience. But it should be more than just a children's portion. The service was quick and polite and we didn't have to wait long.

Very friendly response to my email query👍🏻

The food has really gone downhill, we've been coming here for years.

Good food, beautifully located on Königssee

Nice little restaurant with a great view of the lake Very good traditional cuisine and nice staff The food was excellent.

I had to wait 20 minutes for a beer, amaizing

Despite the fact that something went wrong with the reservation, the waitress responded to us in a friendly manner and solved the problem immediately. Great food, service and you can't be any closer to Königssee to eat.

Food was ok, service was overwhelmed and unfriendly, view over the lake was good.

A great place to stay, a little away from tourism

Delicious food and good views. But be careful: the portions are small!! If you come hungry you won't be satisfied here. The schnitzel, spagetti and XL burger are simply not big enough. Staff is friendly, the skirts/pants are good in the conditions. but inappropriately short.

Spontaneously went for dinner, partly because one of the few restaurants in Schönau am Königssee offers a BAVARIAN SAUSAGE SALAD. Because of the rain the terrace was not occupied. The non-Bavarian waiter at least wiped a table dry for me and brought the menu. But then I was never seen again. Had to go in to order after waiting 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the sausage salad is not served without cheese (because supposedly it has already been mixed). Cheap grated cheese was sprinkled on top of the sausage salad (round slices of Lyonnaise - unfortunately no Regensburg cheese). Plus grated cucumber strips like the IKEA hot dogs. At least rounded off with fresh yellow & red peppers and red onions. Plus the traditional decoration (= lettuce leaf + tomato slice) The not exactly generous portion at the proud price of € 12.90. The small beer we ordered came without a head of foam and the Pinot Blanc was more lukewarm than cold. Maybe you just couldn't expect more from the bored buffet man who was constantly fidgeting on his cell phone and even sat on a box behind the counter several times. The only thing that made up for it was the really fantastic location right on Lake Königssee with a view of the Jenner. All in all a “tourist stall” that I will definitely not see again. It's a shame that something like this has to happen to someone in such a beautiful place. Unfortunately not a recommendation!

Great food, great service, perfect location. Top!!!

Here you can have really great food and slow down wonderfully - you have a view of Lake Königssee. We found the prices absolutely okay. Great here.

Idyllic restaurant right on Königsee. The narrow access is located at the north-eastern end of the Königsee. Somewhat irritatingly, there is a traffic ban sign with the addition “Residents free”.

Had a drink - fine. Location nice, parking bit difficult. Fussy, rigid about paying by card. Waiter friendly, could not help that. More wasps than people visiting. Almost nothing done about that. Bummer.

Incredibly unfriendly service. :(

Unbeatable location, friendly service

Beautiful location on a historical site: Eva Braun used to swim and do her yoga exercises here, bored with the tedious stays at the Berghof. Friendly service, but diconnected from the 21sth century: no digital/only cash payments. And a lot of wasps (month of August).

We were warmly welcomed. Afterwards we asked for the menu again, even though at first we just wanted to drink something. Unfortunately, we then had to wait a long time (even though there was nothing going on) for the service to be brought to our attention. Nevertheless, the employees were all very, very friendly.

The food was very tasty and served quickly. Despite it being so full, we would love to come back.

The view over the lake from the terrace is great. Unfortunately, when it comes to food, the price-performance ratio isn't right at all. Hunger drives it in. Quality is not good, but expensive. The service was very attentive and quick. Maybe ok for cake/ice cream and coffee.

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The food was good and reasonably priced, the helles from Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden hit the spot, but most of all the atmosphere is what makes it great. We sat outside on a nice summer evening right next to the water as the sun slowly set and it was beautiful.

Hutey food in a breathtaking atmosphere.

Food is quite good - not outstanding, but really okay for the very touristy location. The price is still ok - very quick service. Lots of pushy but not aggressive wasps on the terrace during our visit.

We were lucky that a spot just became available on the lakeside terrace. We enjoyed the wonderful and very warm weather at the beautiful Königssee with a mug of coffee and a shandy. The service was very nice and served us very friendly. A nice atmosphere by the lake.

I ordered a cappuccino and apple ring super testy but the coffee is ok

Idyllically located on Lake Königsee. We were lucky to sit directly on the lakeside terrace by the water. The restaurant was full and the service was still very friendly, quick and attentive. The food tasted excellent and the portions were large. Everything was fine, thank you.

We as a group of 4 adults and 6 children wanted to eat there, tables were wet because it had rained 3 hours ago and they didn't want to dry them at first, then a waiter came and reluctantly wiped the tables dry with a mop. With a grim look he said to us, don't answer it, he'll be right back. We turned around and left. I can't judge the food or atmosphere. However, the service staff was completely unfriendly!!!

ATTENTION, the food made me sick. The waitress was also very rude and unprofessional. I generally advise everyone not to eat in places where there are a lot of tourists.

It's a great service, very very nice. The scenery around it is unbeatable. Price performance top.

We were a family of 4, we had 2 soups and 2 meals, we paid 41.80 Euros, the portions were small. The service was absolutely tragic, unpleasant with no willingness to explain anything, she brought us food without cutlery, she brought one dish much earlier than the others, everything took a very long time, we waited about 10 minutes to pay. The restaurant is in a beautiful location. We will never go here again.

Ate there with my friend. Had to wait a long time before they brought the menu and ordered drinks. (we were there at 4:20 pm and it was quiet there) I ordered a steak and I asked for a medium rare. Later the waitress came back that it was not possible. And asked why not. I get the blunt answer that "we are not a steakhouse". Every restaurant where I could eat steak could always make it medium rare and they couldn't?! If you can't cook a steak, don't sell it. If you sit along the waterfront there are a lot of wasps/flying vermin. I couldn't find wasp traps etc. anywhere. When my friend was drinking, a wasp came and drank into them. We asked for a new one and we had to pay for a new one. The view is nice, but I won't go to this restaurant again. The rest of the food tasted okay, but if you're a big eater, it won't be enough for you.

Restaurant with a mega ambience right on Königssee. Food was good but the portions are very small. Service was ok, but we have also had friendlier. The restaurant is a typical tourist hotspot.

The Echostüberl doesn't promise too much (maybe the echo is missing...) and I got what I expected: hearty food, fairly quick service, relatively fair prices. The view of Lake Königssee is very beautiful. The terrace is - or will not be - protected from rain. The coffee is fine.

A beautiful view. The staff is friendly. There is a parking lot, but you have to get a parking ticket.

Delicious food on the terrace. With a beautiful view over the Königsee. Service was great. We had the burger and plaice fillet. Was delicious and good portions.

The view and location is fantastic! The food was good but not outstanding. Unfortunately there are a lot of wasps there...

We both ordered fish and it was delicious. Our baby loved it too. Service could be a little quicker, but there were just a lot of customers, so I understand that the girls were busy. Ambiance is great!

Unfortunately, we had the worst meal in Berchtesgaden in this great place with this great setting. Unfortunately, the food is designed for tourism. Fast, without love and no taste. Sorry

The place is very nice, the service is very good, but the food is really poorly made and not worth the price. Rostbrätl with mushrooms and spaetzle for example for 26 euros. Not recommended, very cheaply made and not tasty. a real shame!

Excursion restaurant that serves to satisfy tourism. The food is so well, but good for a coffee and cake on the terrace when the weather is good.

Good food, service was great. Can't really beat the setting. Only parking nearby is expensive though.

Eat with the best view of Lake Königssee Food was good The service was nice only when she asked if everything was okay, well there was a cordon bleu that was more of a children's quantity. At 19€ you can expect something. The answer was just a shrug of the shoulder, I don't care and she said she couldn't help it.

Two families had lunch here after spending time at Lake of the Kings. The meal was excellent and so was the view from the balcony. The kids even played on the dock next door.

Just for tourists. It was already significantly better.

Cannot give any other rating. Food top Location top A lot of top Price-wise also good for the region. Completely satisfied 🫡

This restaurant relies solely on the good lakeside location. The food is accordingly underground. My apple strudel was a warmed frozen product with vanilla sauce from the package. The fries smelled of old grease and came unsalted. The apple spritzer was about 90% water and had no taste. In addition, the service is rather unfriendly (although quite fast)

The place is looking at a fabulous lake..the staff are totally horrible .. no kindness and no attention and when serving the table it’s like they are angry with the guest… asked for a bottle of water and 10 minutes passed .. I even tried to remind the hostess but she passed just by me and looked at me as I don’t exist.. for sure the customer service is no where a match to the fabulous location and the place deserves way more competent and pleasant staff .. for sure I won’t sit in this place even they offered me free food or drink!! The garlic bread came so sad and for sure it’s not worth 10 cents!!

Here I am ready to wait in line for free space

The restaurant has a great location right on the lake and yet a little away from the hustle and bustle. I wasn't there until around 8 p.m. and even got a seat on the terrace. The service was friendly and the food came quickly. The food itself tasted good and the view over the lake is great

The staff is very unfriendly and aggressive!!!

We wanted to eat at the Echostüberl and parked in front of their parking lot at 7:30 p.m., right in front of the parking machine. It says “charges apply from midnight to midnight - parking ticket can be redeemed as a voucher in the restaurant if you spend at least €20.” So I bought a parking ticket for the minimum price of €8 and went to the restaurant with the plan to eat fish There we were informed that unfortunately there would be no food today because there was no electricity in the kitchen. It can happen, so basically no problem. What was problematic, however, was that when we responded to our comments regarding the parking ticket we had already paid for, we were simply turned away with the instructive sentence that there was a small sign on the side of the road indicating that parking was free after 6 p.m. So we have thrown €8 out the window and the following questions arise: 1. Why does the parking machine say the opposite 2. Why does the parking machine issue paid tickets after 6 p.m 3. Why is the daily rate of €8 also the minimum amount - why can't you choose an hourly rate when paying by card? 4. Why don't you get a 24-hour parking ticket for the day ticket? It ends at 11:59 p.m. on the same day, so it was valid for a full 4.5 hours and didn't give us the opportunity to come back the next day The restaurant should actually have been accommodating at this point, as catering (and thus the advertised refund) was not possible and the ticket was incorrectly collected.

Absolute surprise 👍🏼😎 A tourist restaurant that served first-class food. Now listen!!! Then it's cheaper than in many would-be restaurants. Super Service Great, I didn't expect it. 😍 I'm a big eater and had to fight to get my plate empty. I would be happy to recommend it to anyone.
