Löwenbräu Baden-Baden in Baden-Baden

The price-performance ratio is a disaster. I feel like I've been slightly ripped off, to put it politely. Hence 1 star.

The prices and the quality do not match at all, to put it politely

The atmosphere was Bavarian, quite nice. The beer was good. The food was really, really bad. The service was okay, but rather weak. The food was really, really bad. Everything was powdered, out of a can, convenience food. It tasted truly awful! Don't go there! It's a tourist trap and very, very bad.

We thought we'd get good Bavarian cuisine for the reasonable price. However, that was a huge mistake. Most of the dishes consisted of obvious convenience foods that tasted really bad. The highlight was the mushrooms from a jar. Avoid this tourist trap.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend it because the prices are absolutely unreasonable. A regular beer costs over €7, not to mention the food, which is even more expensive. The atmosphere is great, but it doesn't justify the prices.

Getting a one star for the flat fanta and grumpy little waitress

Beer was good. Waiter was a bit rude. Food and beer is quite a bit more expensive than other places in Germany we have been. Outdoor area is nice.

Such a beautiful beer garden, but these prices are completely out of touch with reality. Very small portions, but any complaints or comments about the waiter are simply ignored. We've been there many times, but never again. I hope this doesn't backfire at some point. A pork knuckle for over 30 euros, which costs 3 euros to buy. We're not at Oktoberfest.

The food was really sub par for how incredibly expensive it was. We got the schnitzel, sausage, and tomato soup. The schnitzel was incredibly salty and just not worth over 30€. The atmosphere was great, but with the outrageous prices, I'd suggest just going for drinks and a light bite.

The first time I visited, I ate on the terrace on a summer night. The beer and food were delicious. The second day, I ate inside the restaurant. The traditional German interior is wonderful. The meat dishes were plentiful and delicious.

Good food, friendly service, and a lovely ambience. The staff were helpful , patiently walked us through the menu, and helped us pick a great selection of German dishes. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, making the entire dining experience truly enjoyable. We’d happily come back again.

Yes, highly recommended. Pedestrian zone and very nice atmosphere.

Food was good but felt production taste, quality, and presentation. If you’re looking for a fun atmosphere try it. If you interested in good food I would try something else.

The prices were too high. My husband's meal (roast pork) with meat and cabbage was cold, with little sauce and just a potato dumpling. My son's cheese spaetzle was much too small. Otherwise, the taste was good. Apple strudel was good. I thought it was a shame; I expected better for the price.

Service is fantastic, quality of food is very poor at a very high price.

Good Bavarian cuisine, well served by pleasant staff

This is a restaurant and beer garden just off the town centre.serves beer, limited wine selection but no cocktails. Traditional German food from the region as well as Bavarian specialities. Good portion sizes. Service can be a bit slow in the beer garden and you have to make yourself known to get any attention. Worth a visit.

Restaurant with a perfect location, unfortunately the quality of the food is not the best and the prices are too high

Poor service, undercooked meat. The pork knuckle (EUR 36) was borderline inedible. This restaurant feels like a tourist trap.

The service could have been improved; the glasses were touched by the top rim, something you learn first when you start serving. We also got a small portion of cheese spaetzle for €17.50. That was really excessive. I complained, and they didn't charge for that meal. I won't go there again.

Very nice, we were very satisfied

Had roast pork with dumplings, it was a bit dry, and there wasn't enough sauce. Service... wasn't attentive enough. Quite expensive, especially the drinks (a 0.5-liter wheat beer costs €7.70, a bottle of water costs over €6). Wouldn't go there again.

An amazing place, a traditional German restaurant. The building was originally a student dormitory and later became an inn where it hosted Dostoevsky. Since 1906 it has been operating as a brewery for Löwenbräu beer, which is also produced in Munich. The atmosphere is idyllic, very authentic and beautiful.

Terrible service. I had to get up to look for them for every drink. The waiters turned around in front of you, not listening. Apparently, each one has an assigned job. Even standing, they don't serve you. Put up a sign, guys.

Appalling. The waiters are disgracefully rude and unfriendly to the point of completely unprofessional and spoil whatever “ambience” there is. Food is below average in quality and 3x the price. Go elsewhere.

We had a choice of dining rooms, which were pleasant and spacious. The dishes were disappointing, even the simplest ones.

After the owner deleted my first review due to apparent discrimination (ha, ha, ha), here's my second attempt. The beer garden is very nice, but the seating is sometimes too close together, so I was bumped into several times. The food is just good, home-style fare and, for my taste, a bit above cafeteria level. For this price, I had expected/desired better quality. At least, that's what I'm used to. The value for money is absolutely abysmal. The drink prices are astronomically high. Any comment on that is superfluous. This restaurant is probably designed purely for tourists who will stop by once and never return. I can't imagine there are any regulars here. Oh yes, our waiter was very friendly. But that was the only highlight. We live nearby, but we won't be going to this restaurant again!

As it was bavarian cuisine there were very less vegetarian options. But the food was delicious. The atmosphere really gives you the traditional german vibe.

Very good food and I highly recommend!

Unfortunately, overall, it's not worth repeating. The food is far too expensive for small portions. The ambiance is okay. It's a shame.

Good food, beautiful terrace, nice atmosphere, waiters and waitresses in the Bavarian theme

We were very skeptical due to the somewhat poor rating on TripAdvisor – unfortunately! The service was excellent, the drinks delicious, and the atmosphere perfect. We'd love to come back. Thanks for the lovely hours in the beer garden.

Exorbitant prices! Tourists are being ripped off. Wiener Schnitzel costs €36.50, more expensive than a lumberjack steak, is that even possible? Then we had cheese spaetzle for just under €18, which was a handful.

Very nice ambiance, great beer garden, and nice tables right outside. The waiters were friendly, and we were served quickly. The food, however, was a disappointment. We had rösti with vegetables, unfortunately none of it was fresh..., tasted okay. The Jägerschnitzel was okay, but the sauce wasn't. The price for everything, including the drinks, was very high.

It took a long time to serve us. The food was average, and the garden had a nice ambiance. But then, when it was time to pay, they insisted we leave a tip, and he started laughing and telling his colleagues that we didn't leave tips. He's rude and doesn't accept that the service wasn't the best, blaming the customer for not leaving the tip he wants.

Excessive prices, unmotivated service.

The food was quite good, the place is very pretty, and the service was perhaps the best of all. I was lucky to be served by Ana, although I was watching the other waiters and waitresses, and they were all very friendly. The food arrived very quickly and the prices were quite fair.

Food was all tepid at best but nice enough

One of the best schnitzel! A little bit expensive…

Food and vibes amazing, pretty expensive. Baden Baden prices I suppose. Very kind staff

Poor food quality in my experience. Didn't enjoy it at all :-(

The food was mediocre, the prices were disproportionately expensive, and the money was ripped off because of the "Christmas decorations" and "energy consumption." The food might have earned three stars; it was nothing special, but not bad either. The cheese spaetzle, in particular, was a negative: At €13, they came with salad, but the portion wasn't particularly large overall. The spaetzle tasted of almost nothing, seemed to have come from a large-scale industrial processing plant, were garnished with dried canned onions, and were only edible with a generous amount of salt and pepper—truly presumptuous for the price. But none of that compares to the outrageous money rip-off you're confronted with at Löwenbräu: A sign at the entrance and on the menus indicates that during the "Christmas season," you have to pay a supplement of €3.50 PER PERSON. Given that we went to dinner at the beginning of January 2023, we were very surprised that they still charged us the surcharge (it's also absolutely presumptuous that it makes virtually no difference whether there are 1, 2, 3, or 4 people sitting at a table, listening to inappropriate Christmas music and watching a string of twinkling lights – and yet they still charge each person an additional €3.50). So we asked for the manager (who was probably not the first time he'd been approached and criticized about this), who immediately started to assert that there were no hidden costs, even pointing out that due to the restaurant's "internationality," they were oriented toward "Orthodox Christmas" and would therefore be charging the Christmas allowance for an extended period. Of course, none of this was mentioned on the vague sign. Most annoying, however, was the condescending and arrogant manner in which the manager dealt with customers – a ridiculous indictment.

Good food and service with very good quality

The review is not taken seriously and is reported and deleted without reason. A restaurant should take negative reviews seriously and not ignore them. Very unprofessional. Restaurant not recommended, typical tourists fall victim

Everything was great, thank you

Tourist scam. The food is bad: roasted potatoes soaked in oil, cheap industrial sausages, and sauerkraut with no substance. Add to that the service, which is barely acceptable and very cold. The cash machine...

Beautiful biergarten in the center of downtown Baden Baden. The restaurant was clean and bright (at least where we were sitting) and the staff was kind and fluent in English. There's so much on the menu but in the end we decided on an item printed on the placemat menu, the Roasted Chicken in bearnaise sauce with mushroom and rice. They let us swap the rice with fries and it was delicious! I think this was my best meal during my short stay in Baden Baden. The chicken was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious with the bearnaise. I rarely finish a whole meal, but I ate every last scrap of this one!

Very bad attitude waiters was not nice and didn’t have patience

Food was good, a bit cold, but tasted very good.

First visit. Sat outdoors in a really nice seating area. Service was ok. Food was good, although portions a bit small for the price. I had some sort of potato rosti thing it was roasted potatoes with tomatoes and cheese it was baked. Delicious 😋 I would eat there again if we return to the area.

Friendly service, delicious beer. Beautiful beer garden. Will be back :)

We had the bread basket and the white sausage, it was beautifully presented and tasted very good

A cozy spot in Baden-Baden! The Löwenbräu beer is wonderfully fresh, and the Swabian classics like Maultaschen taste truly authentic. The atmosphere is rustic Bavarian, and the service is warm and prompt. It can get a bit noisy when the place is full, but that doesn't detract from the charm. Perfect for a relaxed evening!

Very good setting but the rest forgotten, passable food and terrible service don't expect a nice smile

Good German cuisine with traditional, tasty dishes. Rustic atmosphere, friendly service.

Stylish restaurant with a wonderful terrace where you can dine comfortably under the trees and of course enjoy a refreshing beer. The herb and mushroom omelette was very tasty, the seasonal asparagus and strawberry salad was a tasty mix, and the chef's salad with turkey breast was a delight for the palate. - The friendly service people wear lederhosen and dirndls to match the restaurant style.

Many options of typical local food. And very good. Excellent quality beer, weiss, pilsen, duken

Beautiful place, very well decorated. Excellent dishes. All very rich.

Very expensive for what you eat Far below what it was before.

The place is super nice, I was on the terrace, abundant food, if I had known I would have shared

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. In my opinion, however, the food was disproportionately expensive and we had to wait longer until we were served. You sit there in a nice atmosphere, but for the reasons mentioned above I would personally choose a different restaurant the next time I visit Baden Baden.

Total tourist trap, certainly the garden and the restaurant are beautiful but the staff is very unpleasant, and the cuisine is ordinary and does not absolutely justify the price, avoid if you don't want to be fooled.

Delicious beers, delicious food, we had the wusterls and they were divine!!!! Place with large garden, we had dinner outside and had a really good time, highly recommended.

Friendly and attentive staff, delicious Bavarian food in a very small cozy Bavarian beer garden atmosphere in the middle of the pedestrian zone of Baden-Baden. One star deducted because of overpriced drinks, e.g. B. half a liter of beer for €7.70 is simply usury even in 2025 and compared to Munich and Hamburg!!!

Wonderful restaurant, and a well known place in Baden-Baden. The outdoor terrace is very beautiful, and we have to congratulate them for their Christmas decorations each year, which are also amazing (also, they tend to change the decoration according to the season). The food is delicious. There are lots of choices, even for vegetarians (we’re not vegetarian but I wanted to try something from the menu). The service is lightning fast and the waiters are very friendly and professional. Our German is very basic, but the menu is also in English and our waiter spoke in English with us, which helped. We have a favourite restaurant in Baden-Baden where we go to each time we visit, but Löwenbräu is now also a must! Danke!

Hearty, typical Bavarian dishes, sitting in the beer garden in the sunshine with fresh beer, pretzels and goulash soup authentic

The bad reviews are deleted by Löwenbräu...after friends shared their opinions about this restaurant, they received the message that their review would not be published and a lawyer would have to be hired. That reflects everything :)

Food was great Ambience also very nice I also accept the prices From the price performance What I can't understand is that the assistants are being shit on by your manager in front of the team!!! A shame, I would act immediately!!! I know that things are rough in the catering industry. The female manager can NOT lead, that's a straight 6 for me!!! I would replace it immediately!!! Best regards Mission Wood Master carpenter Maic Seifert Ps. When I read all the reviews One thing stands out to me The waiters pocket the tips It's no wonder that assistants are demotivated!!!! If an assistant then tells me that I can smoke in the anteroom and not the main waiter, then I'll be on your tour Something's really wrong!!!!

Grilled meats without taste, frozen beans without taste, spatzles cooked in water without taste, as soon as you arrive You must have already chosen your beer....in short much better, more refined elsewhere and also less expensive like the M10 on a top plot with top service

It's really bold! Every year the restaurant tries the same way to report my negative review or have it deleted. Instead of taking the criticism seriously To take and improve themselves, they do everything they can to suppress unpleasant opinions. Such behavior is just embarrassing and unprofessional!

27.05.2025 Came back to this restaurant again There is no overall change. This time I am sitting indoors. The WiFi cannot be connected anyway. The food ratings have not changed. The price is a little more expensive than last time. _____________ A decent German restaurant. The grilled elbow is very good. I can give it 4.5 points. The portions of the platter are large and there are many dishes. You can basically eat all the German dishes in one go.

This was another super friendly and brilliant experience, the staff were fantastic and the venue was class. The food is always top quality and the drinks too, a lovely spot in the sun with a shaded area too. With a live subtle music. Being played in the background, this is a must if you visit Baden-Baden. We will absolutely be returning.

We tried die Haxe and beef sausages. The portion sizes were very generous, but unfortunately the pork knuckle’s skin was too tough to bite through, and the beef sausages were just average. Considering the rather high prices, we felt that the quality did not quite match our expectations.

A tourist trap, ordered a mixed grill of meat with green beans and potatoes, for 4 pieces of meat a paltry €31 and also tough without too much taste, the green beans were raw, a Wiener Schnitzel badly cooked and probably on cold oil given the color of the breading, the chips were good as were the beers and the Radler, A DISPROPOSED price, €75!!!! Take advantage of tourists just because you are in the center. Even though we had left over the Schnitzel they didn't ask us anything, total indifference, as long as we pay. Avoid it, there are many others around there.

In the two days we stayed in Baden Baden we spent time here twice! The food is delicious, the service is efficient and the atmosphere is great. On the first day it was a bit wintry so we sat inside and on the second day the sun came out and it was fun to sit outside. Definitely a must during your stay in Baden Baden!

The service was totally unfriendly right from the start. We didn't feel like eating and left.

Unfortunately disappointing - not a recommendation We were eating at the Löwenbräu restaurant in Baden-Baden and were looking forward to fresh asparagus. For a whopping €32.50 (per 500 gram portion) we were served four portions of asparagus with just two small potatoes each. Unfortunately, the asparagus was almost raw on the first try. After our polite complaint, the plates were taken back and re-prepared - however, even on the second attempt, the asparagus was barely cooked, tasteless and far from "al dente". I then had my portion returned. Instead of understanding or accommodating, the boss came to the table and told us that everything would be charged in full - the most she could offer us was a coffee on the house. We politely declined. Unfortunately, your statement that the asparagus was “great” only showed that there is absolutely no value placed on honest feedback here. It was also noticeable that the majority of the service staff spoke little to no German, which made communication even more difficult. Overall, we felt that this restaurant was more concerned with profits than customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances and will definitely not be coming back.

Already consumed previously but the current visit was less convincing and the service was rushed and attentive

The service from the non-German staff is emotionless and taciturn and seems unfriendly. The giant cabbage roll had a maximum final weight of 150g compared to the promised 300g. Portions are rather small. Had to reorder. Otherwise ok.

Very well selected Bavarian menu, top beer garden. Very fast cuisine - food of average beer hall quality

Good varied cuisine. A little less good for the friendliness of certain servers!

Deplorable service with unfriendly and very impatient staff, a waitress does not understand a word of German... we report twice in German an inadequate order which will be left on the table and then billed. The waiter becomes impertinent and unpleasant when we try to correct the bill. Lamentable. Not a single excuse! We will never go back there again!

Good food and quite friendly staff

I know it seems touristy, but the food was not bad and the beer excellent. Even went back the next day for more beer and a snack.

Great location, nicely decorated and friendly service BUT: charging €7 plus for a 0.4l beer is a disgrace! We are not at Oktoberfest here. For that price I get a whole box on sale! Unfortunately never again and no recommendation due to the absolutely exorbitant prices! Even when eating!

I liked everything. Good atmosphere, delicious beer, staff speaks Russian. It was so delicious that we came to this restaurant twice; we usually like to go to different establishments.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Löwenbräu, thanks to a recommendation from a friend of mine who owns motorcycles. I was searching for a good day ride from Stewart, and he suggested this spot, highlighting the beautiful two-hour route through the Black Forest. The ride itself was incredible—smooth, scenic, and seemingly designed for motorcycles. Along the way, I must have seen over 100 bikes, all soaking in the same gorgeous day and perfect riding weather. Arriving at Löwenbräu shortly after they opened, I was immediately impressed by the aesthetics. The raised outdoor café area nestled among trees was a lovely touch, offering a nice view of the bustling city walking area below. The atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, with plenty of space to accommodate even larger groups, which is always a bonus for bikers riding together. Service was prompt and friendly, which I appreciated. The food, however, was the real surprise. I’ll be honest—German cuisine isn’t typically my go-to, but what they served here was fantastic. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful, making me rethink my usual reluctance toward the cuisine. Overall, Löwenbräu delivered on all fronts: ambiance, service, food, and location. The journey there was just as enjoyable as the destination itself. Whether you’re a biker looking for a scenic ride or just someone who appreciates good food in a charming setting, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Excellent meal Great atmosphere 👍🏻

This place is very impressive. They welcomed two Koreans skillfully and the food is great. But the price is a little expensive. But the atmosphere of this store's outdoor terrace is really nice. It’s an atmosphere you can’t feel anywhere else. It feels like you are in a movie scene. The atmosphere is well worth paying for the food. Recommended if you like or want the laid-back atmosphere of Baden-Baden. Also, the amount of food is large, so please keep that in mind.

Food was good and service was very pleasant, gladly again :)

As usual it's good, but it's an establishment that becomes excessively expensive, with very standard dishes that quickly rise in price.

In the city center, very delicious food, especially the spicy goulash soup!

Food was okey but not that special. The staff was rude and acted like they didn't want ous there. One of the staff dropped my fork and knife with food in my lap and didn't even bother to apologize. The only positive thing was the interior, but the restaurant seems to be a tourist trap.

A somewhat worn-out pub atmosphere, with a cool waiter but waitresses who silently shove the food in your face because they don't know who ordered what. Drinks are also silently placed somewhere at the front of the table for you to choose from. The taste was okay, but the prices were exorbitant. A 0.5 liter Helles beer was a whopping €7.70. A Jägerschnitzel (a small schnitzel) was on the lower end of the reasonable portion size at €27.50. You can also get a decent size for a whopping €34. Oktoberfest prices, unbelievable!

Very pleasant Bavarian atmosphere.

Overpriced but very well served Staff can smile Nice terrace

How can you put a family with 2 children in the smoking area? What's wrong with you?

Food was really good. Portions were really big. They were kind and pack us the leftovers of the food to bring with us

The food is okay, prices are quite high, and service was courteous and quick when I was there. The ambiance: The decor is the height of bad taste, especially the horrible pink lighting in winter and the lavish Christmas decorations, which are probably meant to attract tourists. If they focused on the essentials, the food, they could feel comfortable there. As it is, it spoils the beautiful old town.

Good value for money Nice setting and fast service
