Ratskeller in Passau

Very nice place with a view of the Danube. Delicious food, pork knuckle for 15.90. Great service and beer.

Quiet place near the town hall.

Attentive waiter, the dog was taken care of first. Delicious food without a long wait, always happy to return.

Dream beer garden a dream view but the food was once again not particularly good

We ate here. It was very good and the waiter was extremely nice.

Very nice restaurant, right next to the Danube. Plenty of tables, both in the shade and in the sun. The service was attentive and good. The Allgäu mountain cheese spaetzle wasn't bad, but not particularly good either. It wasn't really hot and unfortunately, it wasn't cooked in a pan; it was simply re-portioned. Also, the portion wasn't as large as one would expect from other restaurants of this type.

The food was a complete disaster. We had the redfish and the knuckle of pork. Everything arrived within five minutes of ordering. The fish was frozen, the knuckle of pork was bone dry and hard, probably kept warm for hours. The dumplings and potato salad also seemed to be just convenience foods. A real shame, never again.

Super good food and drinks, what more could you want 👍

Outdoor. Didn't eat but beer was good.

More for tourists who come once and then never again.

Super nice inn with great paintings and the food was delicious too 😉

We wanted to spend a nice day in Passau. Based on the good reviews and the report on the BR country inns, we had lunch at the Ratskeller. Very nice atmosphere and pleasant and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing; the roast beef with onions was cold and not medium as ordered. The vegetables were tasteless, and the onions tasted like straw. We cannot recommend this restaurant for dining.

Very good food. Good selection of dishes. Fast and courteous service. In nice weather, enjoy the terrace.

Great restaurant and beer garden

Were there for the first time. Very friendly staff and very attentive. The food was good. Keep it up!

Nice atmosphere, very good food and beer and super friendly, attentive service. Gladly again

The food was excellent, the atmosphere is very cozy. The service was also great. However, you should reserve in advance

The food was super tasty 😋 and the service from the nice waitress was very friendly 😊

Absolutely wonderful restaurant with excellent food and absolutely reasonable prices. Great and courteous service. Only the pop music, which is a bit too loud, seems out of place, but that's purely a matter of taste.

cozy, very tasty food, friendly staff. When we are back in Passau, we would like to come back to the Ratskeller

Highly recommended good food with a great view

Ended up here by chance. Great place, very attentive service, delicious food at reasonable prices...gladly again

Second meal, Ochsenbäckle cool, quantity good the first time, quantity poor the second time. Important: the second time everything is not warm. Nope, not again. The waiter didn't care either.

Great view with a glass of good wine 🍷.

The food was always delicious except for the sauerkraut, which was soggy and didn't have much flavor.

An excellent establishment, with delicious cuisine, excellent service and a beautiful view! I recommend it!

Location and ambience are great. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the food. Some of the fried potatoes were very dark and some were still raw. Unfortunately there was no response to my friendly complaint.

We ate, among other things, knuckle, really great, everything was fresh, including the side dishes, soups, etc.

Brilliant! Extremely friendly and attentive staff, unfortunately you don't find that often anymore, but you feel really welcome there. The food was great, the beer was tasty, the location was just lovely to linger in a few warming rays of sunshine with a great view. We were extremely satisfied!

... if we're nearby, we like to rest and eat here... we've always had friendly service and the prices are reasonable given the view of the Oberhaus...

We had a very nice visit to the Ratskeller Passau and would particularly like to praise the exceptionally allergy-friendly service. Since one of us has a rather rare allergy, we asked specifically and kindly three times (!) just to be on the safe side. We also consulted with the kitchen several times - that really impressed us and shows how seriously individual needs are taken into account here. Overall, the food was very tasty, both in terms of taste and appearance. The design is rustic, traditional and invites you to feel good. One small point of criticism: The fried potatoes had a bit too much thyme for our taste - it was probably fried for too long, which gave it a slightly bitter note. But that's complaining at a high level and doesn't change our overall very positive impression. Definitely a recommendation, especially for people with special dietary needs

04/12/25 5:30 p.m We were there today and wanted to eat something and sat at a free table outside. There was still a glass from the previous one on the table. Three waitresses walked past the table several times and didn't even look at us. When after about 15 minutes no one was willing to serve us, we left the location. I only give it one star because zero stars is not possible. In my opinion not recommended.

Delicious dinner, polite, prompt service. It was a lovely end to the day. 👍

nice restaurant in front of the beautiful town hall square on the river with a view of the castle opposite with good food, very good service and polite waiters and the prices were as expected, in general we were satisfied except for his dessert which wasn't the best

Food was very good, price is reasonable. View is outstanding. We were already sitting outside in March with bright sunshine.

Warm welcome, top waitress, smiling, caring and she speaks English and a little French, many thanks to her we had a wonderful evening, excellent food, good white wine, incredible desserts. In addition, the setting is dreamy, authentic in a family atmosphere.

Delicious food, everything was great

There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of taste. The meat was tough and not chewable. The service was overwhelmed. The opening times also do not match those on Google. It's a real shame because the location is really wonderful.

Great service and top spaetzle & cheesecake!!!

The food was very good, unfortunately I felt like I was in a kebab stand😢😢😢

Was there today, very, very tasty. We'll definitely come back when we're here again.

The dishes were very salty. Friendly staff

Terrible service. Waiter refused to serve drinks 50 minutes before closing.

Very nice service. The food was super tasty and plentiful.

Very nicely furnished inn with a vaulted cellar and traditional Bavarian cuisine. The bright one is highly recommended. Nice service and nice view.

Scurried past someone who was displaced. Great ambience, great service 🫶🏾

Nice and cozy restaurant. But the food is not recommended. Roast pork with more fat than meat. Sweet cabbage simmers in sauce. Kaiserschmarrn from the freezer and tasteless. No snack menu in winter. Don't come anymore. What a shame!!

Fast service and always a smile on the face, asking if everything is okay and if there are several courses when she can bring something. Great

Location, service and beer were good. Unfortunately the food was mediocre. The ox cheeks were tough. Therefore only 3 stars.

I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. Staff very unfriendly, not eager to accommodate and no understanding for dissatisfied guests. Pumpkin soup was okay, venison goulash was a disaster, meat was very dry including tendons and cartilage, spaetzle and red cabbage were overcooked. Apple fritters were completely burnt and the espressos were served in dirty cups. There was no apology and no accommodation with anything on the house or anything like that. Staff was not interested in feedback. 80 euros may not seem like a lot in total, but for such outstanding poor food and staff it was clearly too much. The restaurant is not recommended under any circumstances, then it's better to go to bed hungry or go to Burger King or etc.

Dishes that are sometimes very salty (e.g. red cabbage) are otherwise passable home cooking in a good location. Suitable for larger groups with low demands.

solid, hearty cuisine in a nice atmosphere.

We were shown to the table in a friendly manner and quickly received a menu and our drink request was accepted. The children's special requests for food could be accommodated without any problems. I had the councilman's plate. The food came quickly, a little too quickly to be honest. When four dishes arrive within a short period of time, I get the feeling that it was already ready. Unfortunately, the meat (slightly dry), the cabbage (lukewarm) and the dumplings (very mushy) also tasted the same. I didn't really have anything to complain about in terms of taste, but it wasn't freshly prepared. But recommended for a stopover for a Bavarian atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant with vaults and several beautiful rooms, very friendly and attentive staff and a very good menu. The soup of the day tasted very good, as did the cheese spaetzle. The espresso was a great tasty finish.

Everything was great, we would love to come back

Good cuisine, friendly service. Great food, just too big portions. But honest, decent and fair prices

Perfect place to stop off in Passau!

The waiters are there immediately and are very friendly and helpful. But the FOOD knocked me off my chair. I have never experienced such a taste explosion as in this restaurant. I ordered an Ochsnbackerl, it was very, very tasty, the meat melted in my mouth and the potato/carrot puree was very tasty and fluffy, the spaetzle needed a bit of seasoning for my taste but the entire package was so delicious. Ps don't order a starter because the main course is really big.

Very nice staff and delicious food

Nice restaurant, quick service, friendly staff, delicious German food

Tasty food, a stop is recommended.

Very tasty and friendly staff. Absolutely recommended.

We wanted a traditional Bavarian lunch and this restaurant was recommended by our tour guide who's lived in Passau for most of his life. The Currywurst sausage with fries was excellent and the sausages with sauerkraut were very good. We didn't care for the cold sausage salad but the portions were so big we didn't need that dish anyway. The local beer was good but more bitter than what we had in Regensburg.

We ate in August recommended by the cruise guides. The portions are large, especially the dessert: raspberry sauce with ice cream. Located on the town hall square, next to the Danube River, it was very good. The quality-price ratio was good, together with the location, makes the restaurant with its terrace a good choice.

Excellent casual atmosphere Tavern and restaurant in Passau. Excellent selection of beers and broad choices in food. Reasonably priced. Attentive staff but not rushed. Take as long as you'd like.

Very nice atmosphere and nice service. Perfect at the end of a hike around the Oberhaus.

Cozy restaurant in a prime location near the town hall and the ship pier. The food was delicious, very plentiful and reasonably priced. The table was beautifully set and the service was friendly and accommodating. Recommended.

The unloving service staff, trained in unfriendliness, always keeps a discreet distance so that you are not disturbed when you want to place an order. Once you have finally achieved this, you will quickly be disappointed to find that the word "inferior" does not adequately describe the quality of the food. The heartless and ingustious manner of serving makes one reconsider the repulsively high prices with resignation. Especially when, as in my husband's case, the undercooked rat, which to our sheer horror was the main component of his chosen dish, leaves the plate on its own initiative before it has been successfully consumed. The snippy staff consists entirely of the unplanned children of an easy-going girl, whom the owner of the house seems to regularly feast on in the basement in order to bring new future employees into the world. Maybe someone should let him know that the girl is, tragically, his poor sister, who was hidden by the family out of shame due to physical deformities. It would explain a lot. As a result, the sanitary facilities appear as if cleaning was carried out with the eternally unwashed hair of the cleaning staff. Although it is certainly a big plus for the environment to avoid using cleaning products so consistently, this decision requires a lot of courage and character. In any case, the sight was enough to immediately remove the just-eaten botch, which cheekily posed as our food, from our battered bodies in the only appropriate way. A few admittedly misplaced crumbs will refresh the ambience of the toilet facilities in the future. This restaurant is definitely recommended for the esoterics and ghost hunters among you. The compassionate and sensitive staff ensures that at all times a sufficient contingent, which covers around half of the restaurant, is reserved for visitors from a dimension that not all of us can perceive. We can now say with certainty that alternative dimensions are being traded in a currency that makes our euro green with envy. In order to talk to the staff from one believer to another, however, you must know a secret code, since in our presence the keeping of the spirit contingent free was justified with clearly sophisticated excuses. Extremely not credible, but we couldn't get the subdued and definitely not sufficiently motivated waiter to enlighten us with the truth.

Great food at a good price, very friendly staff. Hot spot in the city center 👌

Nice place with a view of the Danube. Food very tasty and friendly service.

Cozy restaurant. Very friendly staff. We had lunch. The food came super quickly. Price performance is definitely okay.

We were surprised about this restaurant - everything was right, food, service and the ambience - it was also okay in terms of price. We enjoyed it!

Hey, right. There 'Ratskeller. Very nice, everything fits. Great atmosphere, food, service and ambience are amazing. Even the prices are quite low. But it is always packed. Reservation is essential. There are even cream mushrooms with no dumplings. Awesome. A pleasure

Very nice inn, right on the town hall square in Passau with delicious Bavarian cuisine. Tasty food, great desserts and of course a large selection of drinks. The employees are all very friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food, absolutely recommended!

A beautiful terrace with a view of the Danube. Ordering drinks and food is easy. We had a snack platter and a baked salad. Great quality and super tasty.

Very good food, quick service, reasonable prices. Tip notch!

Really good, hearty and very tasty Bavarian cuisine in a great and cozy atmosphere. The portions are very good and the taste of the food is really a highlight. I have never eaten such tender and delicious ox cheeks with homemade spaetzle as I did here on the recommendation of the waitress. The pork knuckle was also crispy on the outside and the meat was tender. Excellent cuisine. The staff was very nice and helpful with the selection. Ambience is homely and comfortable. Price-performance ratio is very good. If we come to Passau again, we will definitely come back.

Super nice restaurant (both inside and outside) and very nice staff. We felt comfortable straight away. The food (we had soup, roast pork and Jägerschnitzel) was okay, but we've had better. Would still come again as the service was so great!

The location is really great and is right on the Danube. The staff is very nice and accommodating and responds to all requests. Food is very tasty, very well made and everything is well rounded off.

Nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service. The food came quickly and was wholesome. It's always my go-to place when I'm in Passau.

Very nice waiter, nice atmosphere, good cuisine, spatzle very good, sausage salad wasn't really our thing

The food isn't that good anymore. There used to be a larger selection of vegetarian dishes and it tasted better.

Very friendly service, good food and good beer. We'd love to come back there.

I spontaneously stopped by the Ratskeller with my wife. The staff is really very friendly and very attentive. I really want to highlight this! The food was good and reasonable for the price. The delicious Löwenbräu Passau is a plus for every inn anyway. Gladly and soon again!

Super, super delicious food and what should be particularly highlighted are the very attentive and friendly service staff, they made us feel completely at home!

Came here spontaneously and were served very friendly (the service was very accommodating), the food came very quickly, was plentiful and very tasty!!!

Super friendly service, good food and great ambience

As befits a Ratskeller, a bit rustic. But in an upscale way. We felt very comfortable. The menu is great - we almost couldn't decide.

After a delightful day exploring Passau, my mother and I decided to conclude our adventures with a dinner at the Ratskeller Passau, and it proved to be a wise choice. We both opted for the traditionally Bavarian salad with breaded chicken. The unexpected twist of balsamic dressing, while not typically Bavarian, surprisingly complemented the dish very well, making it quite a treat. We also shared a generous platter of Obatzda with pretzel and bread, which was both hearty and delicious. The coffee, while not the specialty of the house, was decent enough for a restaurant not focused on its brews. Our server, a delightful young lady, was quite attentive, though not all the staff seemed to be at her level. At one point, I found myself fetching my own lemon for water from the bar after a couple of unheeded requests. Considering the location, the view, and the overall experience, the value for money was quite fair. It truly was a fitting end to our lovely visit to Passau.

We loved everything there: food, atmosphere, people!

Beautiful guest garden with very good service.

The Ratskeller is very beautiful. In summer you can sit outside and look at the river and the castle. The only thing that bothers me is that the wooden chairs or the plastic chairs don't have a soft base. The service is good and the food is really great. And you can afford the prices.

Good place to have a drink and lunch or dinner, especially in the afternoon because it is in the shade. Not bad prices. I had white sausage with a pretzel. Flat and comfortable terrace, wheelchair accessible (outdoor only)

Had a spontaneous meal here today and definitely didn't regret it. The food was amazing!!! Onion roast to perfection, just as ordered. A small portion of cheese spaetzle was prepared especially for our 2 year old daughter. My wife's dumplings and roast pork were also very, very good! The service couldn't be better! Very nice and quick. The food came very quickly too! If a drink was empty, service was at the table immediately! Very attentive! We had places outside in the shade. There is probably even a place where the bees and wasps are attracted with attractants or something so that fewer of them fly around the table, I have never seen that either!!! Of course super pleasant for the guests! I actually only have one criticism that the restaurant probably can't do much about, but the toilet.... When I had to go to the toilet after eating and 3 beers, it was unfortunately a bit "dirty", my wife was in the women's toilet shortly afterwards and this She said it was very clean. So there were probably just a few ...... in front of me who were not considerate and didn't have their ...... under control! All in all, it was a wonderful lunch in Passau with great food and very, very nice service. If we come to Passau again we know where to eat.

Very good restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. Had lunch and dinner here. Highly recommended

Food was ok. Is designed for mass tourism.

We had a drink outside. Nice staff. Very nice inside.

I'll say it in advance - the star deduction for Ambiente was only because there was nothing special - it was like you would expect from a Ratskeller... top... The staff was very friendly, helpful and generally on their toes - everyone felt like they worked together like clockwork and supported each other without anyone having to say anything to the other - so a top team and team spirit (which is what you can see from the outside as a guest). could)... even special requests were no problem - which brings us to the meal. There is something on the menu for everyone - classic as well as modern light cuisine and/or vegetarian... and as I said - special requests are no problem... When it comes to the beer selection, you could add something to today's desire for non-alcoholic - that is, as far as the selection is concerned, but there was non-alcoholic beer and it tasted good... Price-performance is great - I've already paid a lot more elsewhere for a menu that was poorer in terms of taste and portions - so here it tasted excellent and was a great portion... (I'm glad I didn't eat the knuckle - it looked really tasty and... crispy, but I wouldn't have managed the portion...)

We wanted to stop here, sat outside and were absolutely ignored by the employees. Six service staff were busy cleaning, but not with us and a few other guests who sat down almost at the same time. After waiting for a while, we asked two of the service staff whether we could order something and were told twice that we should order from another service staff. We then got up again and went a few hundred meters further to a nice restaurant where we were served happily and friendly!

Very tasty food, the sausage salad was particularly tasty. Very quick and friendly service. Right on the Danube, a great atmosphere 😄. 👍👍👍Keep it up!
