Restaurant Altstaufner Einkehr in Oberstaufen

Wow the ambience was beautiful, the service was very friendly, they were able to give advice and often checked to see if everything was okay, and the food was world class, we had the onion roast beef and the pasta and both were just perfect, definitely recommended and just wow!!!

A very enthusiastic waitress serves the finest regional dishes in a rustic, handcrafted wooden interior. Always happy to return when visiting Oberstaufen.

Excellent food, friendly and attentive waiters. We'll be back again and again. 👌👌👌👌👌

The three of us were here and had roast beef with onions, steak tartare, and spaghetti with shrimp. All three dishes were excellent, the roast beef with onions was a revelation. We'll be back.

Super delicious food. Roast beef, pork medallions, veal schnitzel, Maultaschen (swabian ravioli)... all at an upscale level. A great restaurant with a small but very cozy beer garden area. It's worth a little detour.

excellent excellent place. very pleasant atmosphere. waiting staff also have a great vibe. + they have *the best schnitzel *. mouth watering. magical. truly. and we've tried many schnitzels in our life (in Hungary and Austria). highly recommend.

Always a highlight! In every respect!

We've been trying to call the restaurant for over a week to make a reservation. The phone has been busy every day for the past week. You can't send an email or make a reservation online. Very bad!

Sensational cuisine. Cool location. Be sure to make a reservation.

Really great cuisine, highly recommended.

A wonderful stay, outstanding food and service. We're absolutely thrilled and will be back soon after leaving Klostertal. ❤️

Absolutely fantastic! In this quaint and charming establishment, the service impressed us from the first minute to the end with friendliness and a seemingly constant presence and attention. Not just until the main course, as we unfortunately found in 90% of our experiences at other restaurants. Here, it was pure enthusiasm. Then the food… if you can even call it that casually. The perfectly prepared dishes spoiled our palates with perfectly balanced flavors. The regional meat couldn't have been juicier or more tender. With almost twenty years of experience in the culinary arts, I can definitely say I know what I'm talking about. In my opinion, what is offered here is gastronomy of the highest caliber, with great attention to detail and the product. You don't always need a Michelin star to cook honestly and with perfect craftsmanship, regional cuisine. Often, the love for what you do is more valuable. Thank you for allowing us to share in this wonderful culinary experience. We are already looking forward to our next visits.

Simply perfect! The food was outstanding – just wow! The service was attentive and very friendly from the first minute to the last.

The best roast beef with onions I've had so far! My companion had the venison goulash…tender, buttery, and delicious! We've already reserved another one for the end of our vacation!

Great food, need booking, quick service

We were there on two evenings. The venison, especially the fresh trout, was highly recommended. The service was very attentive and friendly. Reservations are required!

Simply fantastic. Please book a table early. Always very busy. We've been eating there for years.

A superb traditional Allgäu restaurant with local produce and generous portions. I recommend it without hesitation.

Top address, very fine food and friendly service! The only thing is that they have a limited opening time: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Very nice, last evening of the vacation. Best decision☀️👍

The food was absolutely outstanding! The unique tartar and the children's dishes are definitely worth highlighting! Even grown-ups will be satisfied with these, and they're prepared just as wonderfully and freshly as everything else! We really appreciate that, even though the quality is impressive there! Prices are absolutely reasonable; we went back the very next evening! The service was also super friendly! Highly recommended!

Sehr gut. Wirklich SUPER Ambiente, alles sehr traditionell und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Preise sind normal, die Portionen auch. Dafür wird das Essen sehr frisch und selbstgemacht zubereitet. Es ist sehr lecker. Es werden verschiedene Biere vom Fass als auch nicht vom Fass angeboten. Außerdem gibt es Zahlreiche Spirituosen. Es gibt aber auch eine gute Auswahl an Alkoholfreien Getränken. Die Auswahl an Gerichten ist nicht besonders groß, aber bei weitem OK. Ansonsten ist es sehr sauber und am Anfang der Oberstaufener Innenstadt gelegen, gut erreichbar.

Family-run restaurant serving excellent local dishes. The service was excellent, very kind and friendly despite the restaurant being very busy. I highly recommend it.

Truly 5 stars exceptional. Thank you mostly to the gracious hosts, we were welcomed with such kindness and fun humour even though they were sooo busy. They made room for us without a reservation and then we went on to have the most delicious meal. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Well done to such a fantastic family run restaurant. ❤️

A clear recommendation. Thank you.

Awesome! Super friendly and competent team. A long-established restaurant with a great atmosphere! Make a reservation in advance, as it's very popular, even with locals.

The Altstaufner Einkehr is a real eye-catcher even from the outside – the beautiful building really makes you want to go inside. Inside, a large, cozy courtyard and rustic rooms, reminiscent of alpine huts, await you – absolutely homey. The menu leaves little to be desired; the portions are quite large and look very appetizing. Value for money? - Top! The friendly and fast service is also particularly noteworthy. A successful visit – highly recommended. Reservations required!

The homemade boiled beef in aspic simply made me happy 😋, but the fried potatoes could have been better. The service was very, very friendly, but a bit stressed and overwhelmed; it was simply full. That's why we had to wait a little longer for our drinks. The atmosphere is cozy, and the noise level is good for having a conversation. My comment about the food, as above, was noted and actually passed on to the kitchen with interest. I would eat the aspic again anytime. It was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. When I go out to eat, I actually want to find something on every menu that isn't available in other restaurants. This wish was granted. I would gladly go back anytime.

Great food, super friendly staff, and a beautiful ambiance. It won't be the last time we're there.

Everything was perfect and Marion was the best (and prettiest) waitress ever :-)

The food was excellent. We had four different dishes, and each one was top-notch.

We went late for dinner after a long beautiful hiking trip. We were still in our hiking clothes but no one looked at us weird. After all Bavaria is a great hiking area. In a cozy atmosphere the guests are dressed up and quite talkative and the waiters are kept sometimes for too long in the conversation... However, the guests do apologise when it is the case... We wanted some good food and we enjoyed some traditional bavarian soup and Wiener Schnitzel. The restaurant is nice and pretty much alive. We will definitely visit it again and recommend it further.

Das Essen war so ausgezeichnet, dass ich direkt nach dem ersten Besuch am darauffolgenden Abend nocheinmal dort war. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Auch das Ambiente im Lokal ist urig schön.

Absolute highlight! Everything was perfect ;-)

Not cheap, but good, can be recommended.

Food was really good. However, cash-only payments will no longer be allowed in 2025. Therefore a star deduction.

Pure Bavaria! Delicious food in a rustic inn! Great, super tasty, really good! We'll be back!

Very tasty regional menu. Friendly staff and a very rustic and inviting atmosphere. Reservation makes sense, but of course it also speaks volumes about the outstanding quality.

Very friendly service, the schnitzel was really fantastic and the price was justified. But vegetarians only have a very small choice.

Outstanding meat quality, very tasty! Great service! We imagined something different for the fried potatoes, hence the points deduction, but still very tasty

Very nice staff. The food was so delicious that we had to order dessert even though we were already very full. Luckily, it was also really good. The furnishings are totally comfortable.

Everything really fits here: perfect service, great ambience and a super friendly boss paired with excellent cuisine, all freshly prepared from regional raw materials. (member of the LandZunge) all in all gives us an absolute recommendation! The price-performance ratio is also good.

The duck was super tasty, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and well seasoned. We also had an incredibly friendly and quick waitress! Thank you for the good service!

Great food (Bavarian duck and deer ragout) I haven't eaten so well in a while! The same applies to the operation!

A really great nostalgic restaurant, extremely friendly service, the food is really very good and the prices are completely reasonable. Everything freshly cooked. Hope we can make it there again.

When looking for a cozy restaurant, we clearly went in the right direction. On January 1st, 2025... This is how the year can begin! We didn't have a reservation and were given a seat at the entrance. Zero annoying because very interesting! We noticed the friendly waitresses who warmly greeted the guests and wished them a happy new year. The Maultaschen were really good and the salad was fresh and colorful from the vegetable garden, just like at home. The ambience speaks for itself. Quaint and cozy! I'll definitely come back!

Everything is great and we can only recommend it. Extremely delicious...

We had an outstanding evening at the Altstaufner Einkehr! The food was simply fantastic. The salad was super fresh and tasted great - the dressing was simple but incredibly tasty. The onion roast from Allgäuer PrimaRind was perfect - the meat was as tender as butter and the meat juice rounded the whole thing off. My wife had the venison goulash with homemade spaetzle, red cabbage and cranberries – an absolute delight! The children's schnitzel for our son was also really good. What particularly impressed us was the friendliness of the team. You always had the feeling that someone was thinking about it, and in such a pleasant and unobtrusive way. A really relaxed and successful evening - many thanks to the Altstaufner Einkehr team!

To be honest, we were pleasantly surprised because we are often skeptical about more traditional restaurants than vegetarians. The selection isn't huge in this case, but it's really good. Super nice service, very tasty food and nice atmosphere.

Great ambience! You feel comfortable and warmly welcomed right from the start! The food is a dream, every course is a pleasure! Kudos to the kitchen!! Quality is very important here, we are thrilled! The pumpkin and flatbread soup started wonderfully and was surpassed by the rump steak and venison! But the dessert was also an absolute dream! The apple fritters and the Bavarian cream complemented the meal perfectly. And further praise goes to the charming service staff. A smile for everyone, no long waiting times, very attentive and super friendly! Thank you for the lovely evening with you! We'd love to come back!

Very friendly and very tasty!!!

Top restaurant in Oberstaufen. Great service, delicious food and cozy atmosphere. Reservation recommended.

Very tasty food. Staff very friendly. So tip top. Reservation recommended

Hier hat einfach alles gepasst. Sehr freundliches Personal. Auch ohne Reservierung hat man alles versucht, um für uns noch einen Platz zu finden. Das Ambiente ist gemütlich und einladend. Sonderbestellungen waren kein Problem. Die Qualität des Essens war erstklassig und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt absolut. Wir sind am nächsten Tag gleich nochmal gegangen.

Very nice, friendly waitresses who still enjoy their job. The food was a mega dream. My meal, the homemade pasta with grilled vegetables, was more than harmonious. All the vegetables were perfect and everything retained its own (very good) taste. The kitchen staff also love their job. It was still nice and warm in the winter garden in mid-October and blankets were even handed out. Very very highly recommended!!!

Wonderful service, very tasty food, nice ambience - everything was great ❤️

Absolute Empfehlung. Wir waren 2x hintereinander wieder in der Alstaufener Einkehr zum essen. Wieder wurde top Qualität abgeliefert. Netter Service und tolles Essen. Bilder sagen mehr wie 1000.Worte.

Very quaint restaurant in the town center. The food was once again very good. However, tablecloths would do the room and the atmosphere well. Highly recommended business in Oberstaufen

Very good, fresh food in a nice atmosphere with great service. We'll be back

Perfekt, Essen sehr gut. Man fühlt sich als wäre man in der Familie Schmid als Gast und nicht im Restaurent. Sehr persönlich und freundlich. Gern wieder und nur weiterzuempfehlen, definitiv.

Excellent food but no chance of finding a seat without a reservation. You have to go.

Wir waren mit Freunden zum Abendessen vor Ort. Sehr tolles altes Gasthaus, schön eingerichtet, nette schnelle Bedienungen. Wir hatten als Vorspeise Salate und eine Leberknödelsuppe, als Hauptgerichte Zwiebeltostbraten mit Bratkartoffeln und Kalbsschnitzel mit Katoffelsalat oder Pommes. Als Desert Grambel mit Nusseis. Alles selbst gemacht und geschmacklich top. Preis Leistung top.

Great service, Great chefs, Great store! Any time:)

Super delicious food and nice staff.

Terrific! We were there again the following evening.

Die vielen positiven Bewerungen bewirken, dass das Restaurant auf Tage hin ausgebucht ist. Bekammen eine Ecke für zwei Personen. War sehr fein💪💪

After the many positive reviews, we went to the Altstaufener Einkehr in Oberstaufen with high expectations. We were particularly excited about the onion roast, which is considered a signature dish. With a small portion of fried potatoes and a rather average side salad it comes to just under €40. Admittedly, the meat was really excellent, but the onions were a little too dry for my taste and therefore rather bulky to eat. We've eaten better onion roasts for less money, but it's the top dog in a prime location. However, the staff was extremely friendly and extremely attentive. Despite the terrace being full to capacity, everything went really quickly.

We felt super welcome. Great food, great quality! The atmosphere in the beer garden was unique and the service was very attentive and super nice! We'd love to come back!!! Thank you very much for this absolutely wonderful evening!!!

I wanted to reserve a table and called at 3 p.m. The lady (very unfriendly) didn't want to accept the reservation and told me to call at 5:15 p.m. Unfortunately, no one has picked up the phone for days. Too bad

Tradition interpreted in a modern way is not just a marketing slogan on the website - no, the name says it all. The Altstaufner Einkehr is a must have when you are in Oberstaufen. Everything is right here. Quality, service, price and ambience are unbeatable. We'll be back. Tip for newbies - don't forget to reserve!

the best restaurant in Oberstaufen! Incredibly friendly service, great food, wonderful ambience.

Regional cuisine to die for! We were so impressed on the first evening that we had to go again the next day. Everything is perfectly coordinated, even the side salt is a delight and we don't even have to talk about the fried potatoes. Schnitzel, noodles, rump steak, Maultaschen, cod... Everything was a 10/10 and the friendly service was the cherry on the cake. If you are in Oberstaufen, a must! Tip: Be sure to reserve a few days in advance!

Good schnitzel with potato salad and good and fast service

The restaurant is a 10/10! We ate the tartare and the summer salad in advance, then the homemade pasta and the veal schnitzel. The service was super friendly and attentive. Overall we were very satisfied and will definitely come back!

Mega delicious food, best schnitzel I've ever eaten 🥰👌 Top service, the boss always tries to do justice to everything, keep it up!!!! I'll be back

Like every year, we came with a lot of anticipation - and were very disappointed. To start with: the food was, as always, very good. But there is more to being number 1 than just good cuisine. We waited 80 minutes for our main course - without any explanation or apology. And if we hadn't asked after a good hour, it would probably have gone on even longer. Very unfortunate. But when it comes to the quality of service and hospitality, expectations and reality now seem to be far apart.

The food was very tasty. Despite reservations, we were unfortunately seated at a table with other people without being asked. This would be fine with a large table, but the table was so small that we couldn't have a conversation without being disturbed. This shouldn't be the case at a restaurant with such prices.

Quaint, rustic restaurant with a beer garden so you can sit outside when the weather is nice. Very attentive service and very tasty food.

Der Service ist Superfreundlich und das Essen sehr gut. Wir waren 12 Personen, es hat alles perfekt funktioniert. Absolute Empfehlung

It's been a long time since I've eaten something so tasty

Best deer goulash I've ever eaten. Everyone else was also enthusiastic and the ambience and service were also good. One star deducted because we had to wait a long time for the food.

The best that Oberstaufen has to offer. I have been living in Ticino for 1 year. The only thing I miss is the Altstaufner retreat... but I'll be back soon, I'm really looking forward to it... great team, super delicious food... thank you 😋 😋 😋

13.06.2024: 3 X ein Träumchen!!! Service (Claudia hat uns exzellent bedient) Essen war wie immer supergut Ambiente authentisch stilvoll Liebe Grüße, Uwe und Sylvia- die Pfälzer

Everything top and recommended. Also the schnapps for your birthday. A must for your next visit!

Very good restaurant, food, service very good. You should reserve a table. We'll definitely come back.

The food was really delicious and you could tell that high quality and fresh products were used. The prices are really fair. The ambience is very dark/rustic, but also neat, so overall it's cozy. The service was also very nice. We were there in the evening and were lucky to get a place for two without a reservation. Otherwise you should really do this beforehand.

Wir hatten nicht reserviert und wurden trotzdem untergebracht. Bedienung war super freundlich und das Essen war absolut Top. Das Beste was wir in Oberstaufen bisher hatten, daher auch sofort für den nächsten Tag reserviert. Preise sind recht hoch, aber für das was man bekommt absolut angemessen. Ambiente ist noch dazu sehr gemütlich.

Alt, heimelig, lecker! Ein schönes Lokal, mit sehr leckeren, allgäuer Gerichten. Wir werden bestimmt wieder hier einkehren!

Klasse. Allgäuer Küche mit sehr liebevoller Bedienung. Je nach Betrieb in Oberstaufen empfielt sich sehr rechtzeitige Reservierung. Aber auch mal warten lohnt sich. Wie einleitend erwähnt bekommt man hier eine regionale, frische und saisonale gut bürgerliche Küche. Bedienung/Service: Perfekt

Very attentive and friendly staff and the best onion roast in the region. We will be back :)

Very nice atmosphere, great friendly waiter. Deduction for the plastic bulbs

Great ambience, super friendly service. Food is excellent. Price performance is justified. Absolutely recommended. Despite the large crowds, we remained friendly and courteous

It was once again a treat for the palate. We were here last year and were so impressed that this year we decided to come all the way from Stuttgart to eat here again. Simply 5 stars ⭐️ Plus. I can only recommend it to anyone who is in the area.

Sehr schönes Ambiente in einem altehrwürdigen Haus. Getränke und Speisen vorzüglich. Ein Besuch ist sehr empfehlenswert.

In der malerischen Kulisse von Oberstaufen befindet sich ein kulinarischer Geheimtipp, der nicht nur das Herz von Liebhabern bayrischer Küche höherschlagen lässt, sondern auch durch seinen authentischen Charme und die herzliche Gastfreundschaft überzeugt: Die Altstaufener Einkehr. Schon beim Betreten des Restaurants wird man von der urigen Atmosphäre umfangen. Rustikales Holz, behagliches Licht und traditionelle Dekorationen schaffen ein Ambiente, in dem man sich sofort willkommen und wohl fühlt. Die Speisekarte: klein aber fein, welche sehr gute bayrischen Schmankerl bietet. Von deftigen Brotzeiten über Wild und Apfelstrudel – hier findet jeder etwas nach seinem Geschmack. Nicht zu vergessen ist die exzellente Bedienung, besonders hervorheben möchte ich Claudia, deren herzliches Lächeln und aufmerksamer Service den Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis machte. Claudia kennt nicht nur die Speisekarte in- und auswendig, sondern berät auch gerne bei der Auswahl und hat stets eine Empfehlung parat. Durch Ihre freundliche und zugewandte Art sorgt Sie dafür, dass man sich einfach wohlfühlt. Ob Abendessen drinnen in der gemütlichen Stube oder einfach nur für ein kühles Bier auf der sonnigen Terrasse – hier ist man immer herzlich willkommen und bestens umsorgt. Eine wahre Empfehlung! Tipp: unbedingt vorher reservieren!!

Everything is just right here... Gastronomy is lived here. Ambience, service 1a, top quality of the products used. E.g. the onion roast because I had 👍👍👍…..too espresso with vanilla ice cream was super delicious.

The food was very good, but not particularly tasty. Veal liver for just under 30 euros is very self-confident. The negative thing was that no service staff stopped the beer tent noise at the next table; instead, conversation was hardly possible. What was really annoying was the brisk demeanor of the service because they might have given the table away again. Instead of explaining it to us, we were not really politely asked to pay and vacate the table. And that at a cost of over 200 euros. I would have liked this type at the next table. Therefore, 4 stars overall.

The best and can only be recommended, service is quick and very friendly, you feel comfortable here. Food excellent!!!

Everything was great, the food was great, the service was very good and the atmosphere was very cozy.

Super delicious food and atmosphere 🥰
