Restaurant 1888 Traunstein in Traunstein

Levantine Cuisine - Visit in August 2025 We walked into Kitchen Arts with no expectations, more by chance. The menu sounded promising, the prices were initially reasonable, and we were served quickly... so much for the first five minutes, after which everything was basically chaos. Our starters arrived separately, 15 minutes apart. One starter, a yogurt with tomato, cucumber, and pine nuts, cost €11, which tasted okay, but maybe worth €3. The falafel were sensational - both in terms of taste and presentation. Drinks finally arrived after a long wait, so everything was okay for now. The main courses, each around €20, were completely overpriced and not very well presented. I'm happy to pay more, but for a cold bowl with cold, unseasoned potatoes, cold chickpeas, coleslaw, and green salad... phew, I don't know. We then had beef kofte, which tasted okay, but again with that unseasoned yogurt and that strange, overcooked flatbread... Finally, we were asked what we wanted to drink - then the bill was incorrect (the cash register was probably programmed incorrectly), and somehow the evening was completely ruined. A special mention goes to the very friendly waiter, who then gave us a drink for free. We'll be back sometime, because we don't really believe that's the standard of this wonderful restaurant...

Simply good and highly recommended. A must for vegetarians.

Kudos to the food and staff, everything is perfect.

Rustic restaurant, you sit on wooden chairs and benches, but still quaint. 1 star deducted because it was a bit chilly. The food was very tasty (schnitzel, fries, pollock, pasta, meat skewers) and good portions. The dark Export beer is very tasty :-) I'd be happy to come again, thanks.

Very friendly staff, you immediately feel at home. The homemade currywurst was truly delicious—I'll be back.
