Restaurant Schalander in Kempten (Allgäu)

Excellent service Great food and a lovely Bavarian atmosphere. If we lived in Kempten, it would be our regular spot. We're looking forward to the next time, even though it's unfortunately too far away from us.

Prices are, of course, high, as everywhere. But extremely friendly service and very good food

I was there for my birthday on Saturday, October 4th. I was surprised by the rustic, relaxed atmosphere – guests in T-shirts and jeans, very uncomplicated! Thanks to the reservation, I got a table right away with some birthday decorations. Very nice, friendly, and attentive staff, people who still love their jobs! We had the fitness steak, and for me, the "Halallgäuer Zwibelrostbraten" (half-baked onion roast), since I don't like Kässpätzen (an Upper Bavarian dish), but it came with fries. It took about an hour for the food to arrive. But the meat was sensational, cooked to perfection, medium, everything was very, very tasty! The waitress kept coming by to ask what we wanted. Card payments were easy! Conclusion: Excellent quality and service, borderline price/performance. For me, as a tall person, it could have been a bit more, hence only 4 points. But, I'd be happy to go back!

Great food and friendly service. While it's on the higher end, it's definitely worth it. What's really impressive and important to me is that all the products are as regional and sustainable as possible. That's fantastic!

A very nice restaurant with great food and even better service. (I would have given it 6 stars for the service.) We were passing through Kempten with our son and spontaneously got a table there, and it was simply wonderful.

We were very happy to be guests. The food was delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly. A fantastic restaurant!

I can only recommend this restaurant everything from a to z fits

Very good, thank you very much.

A super nice restaurant in the center. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Even though all the tables were reserved, we were able to stay and enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent. The service was simply magical.

We ate at Schalander for the first time yesterday, and we were very pleased with the excellent food, the excellent service, and the restaurant's beautiful location. Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Good food, service and atmosphere

Very good German and regional cuisine. We received a very friendly welcome and service. The menu is varied, and the food is lovingly prepared and very delicious. The ambiance is wonderful, and it's a great place to have a good conversation. We'd love to come back.

Nice restaurant with friendly service and good food.

Server: "If you only drink a wheat beer, you'll have to leave after 15 minutes!" I haven't experienced anything like that in 50 years!

Very nice restaurant in the heart of Kempten with good food and very friendly service.

Excellent quality and super service.

Schnitzel was okay, but not the best. Nice terrace and panoramic views.

Top-notch regional food, top-notch team, top-notch local drink selection! We really enjoyed our holiday final dinner with our two kids (1 and 8)!

Very friendly and service-oriented staff.

Very attentive service! Child-friendly and absolutely delicious food! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this restaurant: friendly service that listens to its guests, a cozy atmosphere, and delicious food! You won't find such a great experience everywhere. You'll be happy to come back!

Extremely cozy and delicious food! A more upscale alternative to the larger local restaurants in Kempten 👍🏻

A very, very good restaurant with home-style cooking. The staff were very attentive, calm, and courteous. The food was excellent. Despite the restaurant being fully booked, the ladies made it possible.

We had a nice spot outside by the fountain. The service was very friendly and always up for a joke. The food (Schalander Pfanne & Teufele) was incredibly delicious and varied. Absolutely recommended for Kempten!

Yes, the drinks were good, but my fries were fried in old oil and the Maultschen were frozen.

Regional cuisine, with a modern and delicious interpretation. The staff is friendly, dedicated, and well-organized—something that unfortunately deserves special mention these days.

Super nice and friendly service. We moved from the terrace to the restaurant – no problem. The food was excellent.

A very nice and pleasant ambiance, relaxed and intimate. We felt very comfortable. The service in the restaurant was very attentive, friendly, and customer-oriented. The quality of the dishes was very fresh and delicious. Creative combinations and generous portion sizes. We would be happy to return. We highly recommend the salads on the menu, as well as the organic Steak Fitness.

Very tasty but it comes at a price.

Great atmosphere, very nice staff, great food, will be back

So: The food isn't here yet, but the outstanding waitress alone gives us a full five stars. The Aperol is also great. Love goes out 🫶🏻

The restaurant can be recommended with a clear conscience

The food came quickly, the service was super polite and friendly. And the food was excellent! Definitely recommend it! We'll be back.

Super nice Ultra delicious Perfect

Very friendly service - food was brilliant and came relatively quickly - beer and schnapps were great - highly recommended!

We were thoroughly impressed with our visit to Restaurant Schalander. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by an extremely friendly lady and shown to our table. This lovely woman was our server for the evening and made our visit unforgettable. She was extremely friendly throughout and fulfilled our every need. Her humor and personality put a lasting smile on our faces. The food was also completely impressive. You could tell that the food is prepared and presented with love. The food not only tasted delicious but also filled us up. The next time we're near Kempten, we'll definitely stop by again.

Great service, excellent food and a very cozy atmosphere.

Everything top notch. If you are looking for a place where there is heart room and good food, then go to Schalanders. If I find myself in Kempten again, I will eat here again. Everything is first class. Wenn Sie ein Lokal mit Herz, Platz und gutem Essen suchen, gehen Sie zu Schalanders. Wenn ich wieder in Kempten bin, werde ich wieder hier essen.

Top-quality regional produce from local hunters or fishermen. Great variety, generous portions, and excellent, friendly service. That's what a restaurant should be like.

Not only did we enjoy an excellent meal at fair prices, but Maria also served us very friendly and courteously. It was truly exceptional.

From the service to the food - everything was simply top 👌🏼

Very good tasty food with great friendly service

The service is truly excellent and friendly, though depending on the time of day, you may need a little patience. The food is very good, though a bit too salty for my taste. The meat was top-notch and perfectly cooked; everyone was satisfied. The restrooms could be a little cleaner...

There's not much to say, just go there and let yourself be pampered. The staff is super friendly and the food is excellent.

No, the restaurant advertises itself as fine dining, but I didn't notice any of that in the dishes. On top of that, they charge extra for ketchup and mayo on the regular schnitzel for €18.00. I've only ever seen that at McDonald's!

Very good regional cuisine - top!!

Very good food and equally friendly service. Not exactly cheap, but definitely worth the price.

The food looks much better in the photos. They ruined a steak. Apparently, they don't know how to cook it perfectly. The service was also poor.

I can only recommend it. Fast service with professional knowledge. The food was also very tasty and the price was right.

Ein tolles Restaurant. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Haben uns Wohlgefühl.

Excellent service and food, menu also in Italian, courtesy and availability

Reserving a table was a bit difficult because the restaurant was very busy. We had reserved a table inside, but decided to take a free table outside at short notice. The friendly and competent staff made it no problem at all. The food was brought to our tables quickly and at the same time. Everything was very tasty and flavorful (some people might find it a bit too much, especially the soup). Everyone enjoyed it. The portions were generous.

This was our third time there. The highlight this time wasn't the food, which was also good, but the service, whose positive, infectious attitude brightened our day.

The food was delicious and the service was super friendly. Everything was perfect!

We visited the restaurant based on many positive reviews and didn't have a reservation. We received a very friendly welcome and were given the opportunity to get a table for 1.5 hours, as we had a later reservation. Not every restaurant does that. The service was extremely enthusiastic and friendly, and we were never rushed due to time constraints. The food was excellent. Rustic Bavarian, just as we wanted it. The beer was delicious. The ambiance was very nice and lovingly designed.

Anyone who doesn't give this restaurant 11 out of 10 is out of this world. We were thrilled and would come back to Kempten just for Restaurant Schalander. Thank you for the great food and friendly service.😁

A quaint restaurant with truly delicious home-cooked food and the coolest service. Even the table was decorated for the occasion.

Great atmosphere. Great service. Delicious food.

Highly recommended. Nice host, friendly, pleasant service. The band Blueprint was well looked after on Music Day.

Hello friends, I loved this establishment, everything about it seemed typical to me, the cleanliness was magnificent, the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. I liked it a lot and I recommend it.

A beautiful restaurant with attractive decor and a comfortable atmosphere. The menu offers a reasonable selection and provides very transparent information about the producers/suppliers of each food. The food was exceptionally good and the service was consistently friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

The food was delicious and the service was attentive. The ambiance is pleasant. I can recommend it to anyone who likes Bavarian cuisine. Reservations are highly recommended. I can recommend it 100%. We'll be back.

A very nice restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant, but you should reserve a table in advance. We were passing through and stayed overnight in Kempten. If we're ever here again, we'll definitely come back. 😀

Very delicious food. Great staff. Everyone very friendly. 😊

Absolutely, everything was as it should be. From the friendliness of the staff to the quality of the food, it was truly outstanding. A definite recommendation.

Nice and cozy restaurant, typical German "burgerlich". Good food, very hospitable and friendly staff...in short: recommended!

Great food, good beer, excellent service. We're going back tomorrow.

Everything was perfect. The crew was super friendly and attentive, the food was outstanding, and the service was first-class. We had a wonderful evening.

Super friendly service and very tasty food. We would love to come back when we are in Kempten again.

Super delicious food and very warm, friendly service

Very expensive Maultaschen. Very long waiting time.

Absolutely delicious food. Local cuisine with a twist. I went back two days later for the cheese soup. The staff was very quick and friendly, even funny, without any fake friendliness. Clear recommendation!

We ended up here by chance 🥰 because the kitchen of our actual choice had a break. Good thing, everything was great and the service was great. Some things come as they are supposed to. 🙏🏼

Great restaurant in Kempten. Rustic atmosphere and capable staff in the kitchen and service

Very nice ambience and excellent food at affordable prices.

Price/performance is slightly high - although the food looks and tastes good and the ingredients are fresh/market. Location is also good... relatively central. (We were only missing the umbrellas outside, not because of the sun but because of the undefined flying objects ;)

I had dinner there with my friend We were served super quickly and friendly The food was really fantastically tasty and beautifully prepared A big thank you to the staff for the love and effort they put in there Would only recommend it

Excellent food, service and atmosphere

UPDATE 04.2025: 2 days in Kempten on business... Here again this evening... It's impressive the spirit that the service ladies display... Excellent cuisine can sometimes be found elsewhere... What makes it a 6 star experience is the service!!! So, basically in advance: you should make a reservation! In the evening anyway - at lunchtime it's sometimes possible without... We've been coming here at regular intervals for years - and the fact that it's always packed here is due to the quality and preparation of the dishes, the cozy atmosphere and the consistently friendly service. Everything was super attentive and quick - the food came to the table piping hot. Alpine cuisine at its best! Bravo 👏👏👏

A very nice restaurant with very good, regional cuisine. The staff is extremely friendly and after a very short time we even had personal conversations. The food came relatively quickly, but we only ate dinner. We accessed the restaurant via the outside staircase next to it. I don't know if there is another way to access it. The restaurant is definitely recommended.

Best crusty roast I've ever eaten! Blaukraut 10/10 Service 5* The 200 km journey was worth it 😍

Hervorragende Allgäuer Kost, Preise der Qualität entsprechend, guter und freundlicher Service. Bierbrauerei (Meckatzer) war mir nicht bekannt - jetzt aber mit positiver Erfahrung. Absolut empfehlenswert

Finally had some really good Kässpatzen! That's exactly how they have to be. Lots of flavor, four types of cheese. And very good leaf salad with it. Really cooked with love! Also eaten the Allgäu pasta plate: with Kässpatzen, Krautkrapfen and Maultaschen. Very good and something from everyone... We are happy.

Super freundliche und nette Bedienung. Das Essen hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Für mein Empfinden ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und eine gemütliche Atmosphäre.

We've been coming here for years. Super easy

Very tasty food and friendly service.

Food was good so far - service was very friendly - atmosphere was ok.

Fried potatoes were very oily, eating wasn't really my thing.

Good local dishes in a very nice atmosphere, courteous and friendly service

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit lokaler Küche. Freundliches Personal, angenehmes Ambiente und sehr leckeres 😋 Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

We felt completely comfortable. Great service, delicious food, the high price is worth it, highly recommended.

Excellent Allgair Bavarian cuisine👍. Very attentive and very nice service. The food was excellent and the salad was fresh! The toilets are very clean 😊⭐️. We'd love to come back! Rating: RECOMMENDED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were here for the first time and received a very warm welcome. You feel comfortable here and the service was attentive and always had a kind word for all the guests. My salad was very tasty and the portion size was just right. Many different types of salad, combined with fresh, delicious sprouts, really recommended. My husband's schnitzel was also totally ok as a portion, but the fried potatoes were a bit too greasy for me personally. However, that is just my personal feeling. Otherwise, we'd love to come back.

We were visiting Kempten and while strolling through the city we looked for a restaurant where we could spontaneously eat something. We went in and saw that all the tables were already reserved, but since we were very early in the evening we were able to defiantly sit at a table. The inn is very comfortably furnished and you just feel completely at home. The food was simply delicious… very tender meat and well-seasoned side dishes… Top Top Top. Yes, and the crowning glory was the staff, our waitress was a mega bundle of energy, she exuded so much good mood, it's really very rare to see someone have so much fun at work and radiate it like that these days... please always stay that way and Thank you very much for the extraordinary hospitality, when we are back in Kempten we will already know where to eat 🤩

Food too expensive and not recommended, spaetzle in particular…

Great service, great ambience and delicious food with a great selection! Gladly again 😀 (Photo: wild boar goulash)

I haven't seen such great employees in a long time, but not just one, but all of them. So in a good mood and so attentive… The food is a highlight. Mega tasty and very well put together. Taste wise 10/10. Always my pleasure. I enjoyed “Fitness Steak”.

Extremely friendly staff and excellent food. We had made a reservation for the evening and my husband was able to order the roast pork that we had for lunch when we made the reservation, thank you.

We happened to eat here by chance. We still got a table without a reservation. Food was very good 👍. Service very friendly and attentive. Can happily recommend it. 🥰
