Restaurant Altstaufner Einkehr in Oberstaufen

The service staff were incredibly friendly and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

As a young woman in my 20s, I would avoid this place later in the evening. Strange, drunk men making staring and rude comments. We had to leave. Go to City Kebab instead.

Amazing! Top-notch cuisine, top-notch staff, top-notch atmosphere for decades! Best in town! Was there again recently. The food was sensational, especially the wonderful duck special. Highly recommended!

The food is okay, but the sauces are nothing special and taste rather like they come from a packet. The meat was good, but the service is rushed. When I asked which beers were on tap, the answer was "yes," and they just brought me one at random. The starter salad isn't served beforehand, but with the main course – but perhaps after waiting over 45 minutes, I simply had different expectations. It's crowded and quite noisy, and you feel rushed because your reservation only allocates a maximum of two hours. The inn is rustic with low ceilings, tiled stoves, and closely spaced seating. Larger dogs are not welcome.

Excellent food, friendly service, and a charming, traditional atmosphere. Making a reservation by phone is recommended.

Reservations recommended... A very nice restaurant with excellent cuisine and top-notch service.

The best restaurant in the region, with extremely attentive staff. The service was fast and to the point. The cart and everything we ordered was perfect. If we'd known it was so popular, we would have made reservations for every day of our vacation. But you should reserve a week in advance. We'll be back.

We ate at the Altstaufner Einkehr yesterday – it was simply unbelievably delicious! The atmosphere is cozy, the service super friendly, and the food absolutely fantastic. It was completely full, but the staff were so kind and offered us a table even if we were leaving in an hour – it worked out perfectly. A real insider tip in Oberstaufen! Be sure to make a reservation in advance, it's worth it!

Highly recommended rustic restaurant with very (!) good cuisine. We went there last night for dinner with two large groups. Of course, we made reservations well in advance. The place always seems to be fully booked. Kudos to the owner and the staff. Despite a full house and restless customers, they were always friendly. Very fast, good service and, above all, the delicious food. An extensive menu with cold and hot dishes. Everyone in our group raved about it. From grilled tuna sashimi on salad with goat's cheese and avocado, to roast beef with onions and venison goulash, to fresh trout: everything was fantastic! And, of course, a fine selection of desserts! A good wine selection, and, of course, tasty beer.

Do you know that feeling when you're halfway through a meal and are already sad that it's almost over? Absolutely outstanding meat quality, paired with generous portions. Frank Rosin definitely doesn't need to go here, except maybe for the food :-)

Great cuisine, great service, and a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere.

First of all: highly recommended, a must-visit. Atmosphere: dark interior with lots of wood – local flavor! Service and seating a bit unusual, but nothing to complain about. The food recommendation was worth its weight in gold. The food was delicious (gourmet-level). The menu features predominantly local dishes.

Delicious Wiener Schnitzel! A truly rustic and lovely atmosphere. Unfortunately, (larger) dogs are not welcome :-(

Best ever. I've been coming here for 20 years.

5* for cuisine, service (friendliness & professionalism), presentation of the food, and the restaurant. I've been visiting this restaurant regularly for years when I'm in the area...

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!!!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!!!

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💪💪

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
