Schachtner´s Restaurant Grainau in Grainau

We had the best dining experience. The surprise menu exceeded any possible expectations. The lovely hostess & the chef made our evening magical. An absolute must to visit while in Grainau.

The food coming out of Thomas kitchen is a match for some of the finest Michelin starred restaurants - without the stiff atmosphere. Anja’s service makes you feel easy and welcome. I recommend the surprise menu option.

We celebrated our wedding with 30 people at Schachtner's and were completely thrilled. We had a 4-course overnight menu and every course, whether vegetarian, fish or meat, tasted excellent. The ingredients of the food are of very high quality and the preparation is top notch... thank you very much for that, Thomas! And Anja had the service fully under control at all times :) We'll definitely be back... Thank you for the lovely celebration, Melanie and Flo

A truly special culinary experience! The 7-course menu was delicious, prepared with a lot of love and using only regional ingredients. What's particularly nice is that the menu changes regularly - so every visit is a little unique. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and her chef husband created a great menu. There was also an excellent selection of wines that perfectly rounded off the taste experience. In a region where you can get roast pork etc. on every corner, this restaurant is a wonderful change. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for something special!

Highly, highly recommended. We love the food and everything else. We had four courses and each course was very tasty, harmonious and a delight for the palate. I found the overall communication about the food and the individual courses very good. We'll definitely be back.

We called spontaneously and luckily got a table for two. The concept is designed for surprise menus, but we decided on a starter and main course. Baked goat cheese and Jerusalem artichoke supper were a great introduction to the main course (palate explosion+++). Shrimp and beef completely convinced us!!! (unfortunately no pictures taken) Small restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere...Top!!!

Went back after not being able to go in the first time due to very limited sitting and staff and I can say the food was phenomenal. The host and cook came out to inform of every dish and a great place to eat. Recommend to anyone in the area.

A great restaurant! The food is outstanding! I can only recommend it! Top!

For the third time in this exceptionally great restaurant speaks for itself. Whenever we are in the area, a visit to Schachtner's is now a MUST for us! Every time our taste buds are pampered and expectations are exceeded! Exciting combinations and extraordinary creations as well as the warmth and sophistication make this restaurant not only special but unique for us! We always look forward to this visit and will come back at any time in the coming years. PS: our furry friend was also allowed to be there. Absolutely not a given. So in short, Schachtner's is the absolute culinary highlight for us and always WORTH a journey of over 6 hours!

First ordered the Christmas box as a 4-course menu for home on December 24th, 2024. Then took part in the 5 course menu on December 26th, 2024. Absolutely great food in all respects and friendly, nice staff. Also an excellent ambience. Simply great restaurant. Always my pleasure.

The restaurant offers an unparalleled tasting menu created exclusively from local and sustainable products. Each course is a masterpiece that highlights the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The careful selection of wines, which are perfectly matched to the dishes, rounds off the taste experience. The elegant furnishings and the attentive but unobtrusive service create an atmosphere in which you immediately feel at home. We'll be back!!

This restaurant was a real treat! We stayed at an air b&b across the square from here and made a reservation. We (4) all did the “surprise” 5-course meal. Each offering was explained to us and the owners were so knowledgeable!

Sometimes you're lucky in misfortune and that's how we came to dine in this culinary dream restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome in this small but fine restaurant and were absolutely thrilled from start to finish. Great creations, absolutely amazing in terms of taste (I don't actually like truffles, but the truffle risotto was amazing!) If we come to this area again, we will only do so if there is a table available! My wife wants dumplings with sauce ;-) (little insider)

Excellent menu. Beats all well-known star restaurants Keep it up.

The 4 course menu was very tasty and fairly priced at €59

It's a really good and nice restaurant. They have a great surprise menue. The service is friendly, the location is small and cosy

Fantastic “surprise” tasting menu. Amazing food. Outstanding presentation.

The food was absolutely delicious. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. The best meal of our entire trip. Not only was the food amazing but the service was above and beyond. They were so kind in welcoming us. We look forward to eating there again :)

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Schachtner's Restaurant and wish I could give more than 5 stars. This was by far our favourite restaurant in the week stay we had in Garmisch. We received such a warm and friendly welcome from the hostess, very pretty dining room that was both modern but felt cozy and the best part the AMAZING food, beer and wine we had the pleasure to eat and drink. All the positive reviews are well deserved and we would happily come back.

Visited the former “Heiss’n Stuben” at Schachtners for the first time. It was brilliant: cozy atmosphere, the 3-course surprise menu was perfect...every course was a poem in itself...starter, intermediate course, main course - incredibly delicious. Absolute recommendation....Thank you for having the courage to open such a top shop in Grainau.

Just great! Food, service, ambience. Did I mention food? If you're in the area it's a "must do"!

We were able to enjoy a 3-course meal with very welcoming hosts. Our individual wishes were taken into account and no wishes were left unfulfilled. Top quality and impressive craftsmanship. One of the best restaurants we have ever had the pleasure of visiting!

We had the five course surprise menu. It was fantastic. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Every course is a work of art and a taste experience. The price of €79 is absolutely reasonable! The service is very friendly and accommodating, each course is explained in detail. We will definitely come back on our next vacation in Grainau.

We have a 4-course surprise menu, with wine recommendations for the courses. It was great...we would love to come back.

Super nice service, very large selection of dishes and super tasty. I can highly recommend it.

Was a guest at Schachters this evening quite spontaneously and after a Google search. In addition to the cheapest beer in the area 😉, more importantly, you get probably the best food in the area. Coupled with great service and a great ambience, this is a 12 out of 10 for me in terms of price/performance. What Thomas Schachter conjures up here from regional products in sophisticated cuisine, and what his wife serves at the highest level, is more than a dream. Not to forget the excellent wine accompaniment, where it not only seems as if the Schachters personally know every winemaker of the wines served. Once again a big compliment, thank you very much and keep it up!!! I'll definitely be back 😊 P.S. No pictures at this point, because of surprise menus and stuff 😉

Best food in town and lovely hostess!

A highlight of our short vacation. Star level. We had the 5 course surprise menu. Every course is a pleasure experience. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Very friendly service. Thanks!

The food was delicious and the chef was very friendly. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the owner of the restaurant. She was rude and responded negatively to our inquiries and comments.

Schachtner's is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Everything is just right: the cuisine is very creative, incredibly tasty, and it is cooked with regional ingredients. Special requests are no problem at all. Every course of the surprise menu is a great experience. The service is attentive, very friendly and humorous. The ambience is fantastic: outside there is a great view of the mountains, inside it is very cozy and tastefully decorated. And there is both food and high-quality drinks at a very fair price. We can only recommend to everyone who is in Grainau: go to Schachtner's!

Great food in a great atmosphere!

Amazing tasting dishes with incredible flavors, texture and presentation. Anjia is so welcoming and warm she elevated the whole experience to another level. The yummiest food you will find in all of Grainau is right here! Would definitely recommend.

Definitely recommend the surprise menu! A truly tasty culinary journey! We will come again, thank you for everything.

Incredibly nice and very high quality restaurant. Always with a changing and varied menu as well as regional products. Highly recommended!

Exciting creations, but not too crazy. We experienced some positive surprises and learned new things during the menu. Very reasonably priced for the quality and finesse! I would be happy to come back on my next holiday, overall a very welcome change from the usual inns in the region! Really great!

Very tasty and super friendly operators!

I can only agree with the previous recessions. The food and service were awesome. And the whole thing is done exclusively by two people (couples). The woman, very personable and courteous, takes care of the customers. The man cooks with a lot of passion and serves the customers himself when necessary. The sustainable concept is great. Small but nice menu. Quality counts here. A reservation is recommended. We can only recommend it to everyone and wish you a lot of fun, because we definitely had that here...

Amazing experience - the food is wonderful, the service is super kind and the communication with the restaurant is easy and very pleasant. They also seriously took into account all of our special wishes due to allergies, which is a rare thing. Thank you!

The food was excellent and the personal care and service from the owners was exceptional.

Food was local and fresh, beautiful plates. House cuvee was delishes. The whole experience was amazing.

Spent my 40th birthday there. The food was very good and the service was very attentive. We'd love to come back. It's a win for Grainau, so people are happy to pay a little more.

Great concept and always fresh dishes. Dear service Facility with a lot of passion You also get vegetarian alternatives

This was our first visit to Schachtner's; There were 8 of us and we had the 3-course surprise menu; Since it was a birthday invitation, we were given a second starter: it was particularly successful, it was a homemade ravioli with Colatura sauce; surprising and simply good. So every course had a highlight; All of this embedded in a very personalized service, which made the gastronomic experience all the more extraordinary. The setting is very familiar and the Schachtner couple implements their concept; Absolutely recommended, the journey is definitely worth it!!

Outstanding experience. Incredible food and a kind and friendly service - even to a solo traveller. Thank you so much - I will be back.

Yesterday we went to Schachtner's again and enjoyed the menu with wine accompaniment. Great food and wine and great and warm service! We had a very nice evening and are looking forward to our next visit!

A perfect dinner. Compliments to the chef and the staff who were very attentive.

Went to the restaurant for dinner. Starter: tartare. Delicious. Main course: 2x beef fillet. My partner's fillet was tough and riddled with tendons. At a price of €39 we noticed this and got a new one. The taste here is great too. But: when we got the bill, we were told that only one main course was charged (we didn't ask for it), that no tip was wanted and that our second reservation for Sunday had been canceled - we are no longer welcome there. When I asked the waitress that we were surprised, the only comment was: it's better this way, we can't satisfy your wife. Such audacity simply leaves you at a loss for words. If you want really good food, including top service, you should avoid this restaurant. I recommend the Hotel Haus Hammersbach

Excellent restaurant with a very friendly team! UPDATE: a few months later we were there again and this time we chose the surprise menu with wine accompaniment. It was one of the best dinners we've ever had!! Fresh and regional ingredients, creatively and world-class put together. If I were from the Michelin Guide, I would give it two stars!

Everything was great. The food was great. The service is amazing and the menu anyway. We can really recommend the menu to you. Individuality with craftsmanship. Let yourself be surprised.

It was fantastic. We have been to many very good restaurants all over Germany and this was one of the best! Started with delicious home-baked potato bread and olive oil. The main course was incredible. Not only were the individual ingredients and their taste perfectly coordinated, but the consistencies also complemented each other perfectly. Simply wonderful, special German cuisine.

Wow, I didn’t expect to find such an innovative and delicious restaurant in a small town in Germany! Be sure to try their tomato salad. Of course, their surprise menu is also worth trying! All in all, great!

Excellent restaurant, exquisite food and fantastic service. One of the best places in Grainau. I highly recommend it!

Very good food in a nice atmosphere and very friendly hosts

My insider tip in Grainau and the surrounding area. The service was great and the dishes were simply delicious. Still fairly priced. The tartare was my personal favorite!!!

A fantastic restaurant. We were more than positively surprised by the delicious dishes, both a la carte and from the surprise menu. The service was good and at the end of the evening we had a very nice chat with the owner. This restaurant alone is a reason to go to Grainau again.

We wanted to enjoy a meal together (starter and main course) last night. Plus a bottle of water and a glass of wine. Our order wasn't enough for the host and he said that people were coming to eat and meant that both people should each order a main course (which unfortunately wasn't possible for us because we were already partially full). As a local couple we can only say that this is poor hospitality. and we will therefore refrain from future visits. No star

We had a great evening! Great service, very nice and warm hosts and very tasty food! We'd love to come back!

Very imaginative 4 course menu. We particularly enjoyed the sashimi and the ravioli. Overall, the sauces/flavor combinations were a bit too intense for me.

An unforgettable culinary experience! From the moment we entered the Schachtenr restaurant in Grainau, we knew we were in for an exceptional experience. Our decision to treat ourselves to the 3- to 5-course surprise menu turned out to be sensational. Each course was a masterpiece, perfectly paired with the next, and the accompanying wines were simply outstanding. However, what made this experience truly unforgettable were the loving hosts, who are truly masters of their craft. Their passion and dedication to what they do can be felt in every bite. It's impressive to see the two of them running the restaurant on their own, which only increases our admiration and appreciation. The combination of excellent food, fine wines and warm hospitality deserves a 1000% recommendation. Price-performance? 12 out of 10 without hesitation! A big thank you for everything! We, a family with two adults and one child, are now big fans. Torsten and family

The food was absolutely incredible! We were very tempted by the surprise menu, but decided to choose our own as everything sounded so good. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the flavours were superb. The owners were extremely friendly and the service was excellent. I could not recommend this place any more highly. An absolute gem!

Great ambience Excellent cuisine Very friendly hosts

WOW, just WOW. We were there together with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I actually didn't want to eat a surprise menu because there are some things I don't eat, but my special requests were accommodated without any problems. I'm glad that we ultimately took the surprise menu, otherwise we would have missed out on a top-class taste experience. Truly extraordinary and something special! Great combination, very fine ingredients and the meat was a dream! Just let yourself be surprised...

Super friendly service. Excellent wines. Wonderful and tasty surprise menu. It was a successful evening. Would love to come back.

Nice location in Grainau. The service was very friendly and quick. The excellent home-baked potato bread, which was served with a great seasoned olive oil, tasted excellent. The crispy burrata as a starter and the roast beef as a main course were beautifully presented but unfortunately too tasteless for us. Cashless payment is possible. There are some parking spaces in the area.

We finally managed to visit them - after the Ammerwinkl, now the Schachtners in Grainau. And: you can still do it and better than ever! The old farm and former inn have been newly renovated - old meets new and warm colors with candlelight. Absolute recommendation: the SURPRISE MENU. 5 courses. One finer, more interesting and more surprising than the other. Thomas Schachtner combines compositions for all taste buds, things that you don't get normally, in a wonderful way. The white Merlot is also a surprise, a very fine wine. But above all: hospitality, warmth, always chatting with Anja and Thomas, you feel like you're with friends. 7 out of 5 stars. Or 8.

Wir waren zum Silvesterabend zu Gast im Schachtner's Restaurant in Grainau und es war ein ganz wunderbarer Abend mit einem besonderen 7Gänge-Menü. Super nette Inhaber-Familie, die sich jederzeit um die Anliegen ihrer Gäste gekümmert haben. Besonders beachtlich: Bei all der Arbeit haben sie sich viel Zeit genommen, um sich mit den Gästen zu unterhalten und so für ein nettes Ambiente zu sorgen.

Kurz und knapp: eine richtige Restaurant-Perle. Tolles Essen, schönes Ambiente und nette Gastgeber (ein richtiges Power Paar).

We are so grateful for the evening spent with Anja and Thomas. We walked in the door and were greeted with such a warm and loving welcome. The food was exceptional. If you are spending any time in Grainau, make sure to stop in and experience fine dining in a wonderful setting. Thank You Thomas and Anja for EVERYTHING! Our very best to you!

Super! Die Inhaber machen hier beide ganz tolle Arbeit. Die Chefin macht den Service alleine und es fehlt nicht an Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit. Der Chef ist alleine in der Küche und zaubert dort Überraschungsmenus und à la carte gleichzeitig. Die Weine sind hervorragend und passten bei uns sehr gut zu den Schlutzkrapfen, dem Böfflamott, weiteren Köstlichkeiten und am Ende einem köstlichen Kaiserschmarrn. Den Abend wurde abgerundet mit einem längeren Plausch mit den Wirtsleuten und weiteren Gästen über Hunde 😃 Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder vorbei im nächsten Urlaub.

What an incredible evening! Anja was an exceptional host and made the evening so special. Thomas is a sensational chef. The food was the best we’ve had in Bavaria. We were treated as though we were dining in their home. Will be going back, and telling others visiting this area!

Eine exzellente Perle im beschaulichen Grainau. Üblicherweise werden in den anderen Häusern im Ort Schnitzel, Pommes, Rostbraten, Kässpatzen usw. angeboten. Nicht so bei Schachtner‘s!! Hier findet man die belle cuisine schlechthin. Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend.

Parfait de A à Z, l'endroit est chaleureux et accueillant. La cuisine est fine et raffinée. Rien à dire, à part merci beaucoup ! Viele Danke, bis bald !

I can only praise Anja and Thomas Schachtner’s place in the highest possible terms. Beautiful location with a lovely mountain view, stylish interior and, much more important, a spectacular, creative and memorable cuisine. Bœuf Lamotte was spectacular. Very good wines, excellent service, and affordable. Go there now because it’s only a matter of time before this place is Michelin star rated and prices will not be the same.

Perfekter Abschluss. Frau und Herr Schachtner haben uns einen erinnerungswürdigen letzten Abend in Grainau beschert. Wir hatten eine Ferienwohnung genau gegenüber des Restaurants, hatten es jedoch verpasst rechtzeitig einen Tisch zu reservieren. Glücklicherweise machten es die Schachtners möglich ihre überaus köstlichen Geschmacksexplosionen in Form von "Alpen-Tapas" abzuholen und "daheim" zu genießen. Bunt, sehr ansprechend angerichtet mit Liebe und einem guten Auge. Und viel Geschmack. Ich habe lange nicht so gut gegessen. Wir würden für dieses Essen wieder hierher zurückkehren. Vielen Dank nochmal für Ihre Spontanität. Und das Essen. Das nächste Mal unbedingt im Restaurant. Ich mochte die Atmosphäre. Liebe Grüße und weiterhin solche Kreativität ❤️

Hier wird Essen zum Erlebnis. Vielen Dank dafür, wir kommen sicher wieder. ❤️

Fantastisches Essen mit sehr gutem Service. Wir haben uns 3x überraschen lassen und waren vollkommen zufrieden.

Zu Gast unterhalb der Zugspitze bei einem netten Gastgeber Paar. Gut abgestimmtes Menü, von einen Mann vom Fach. Dankeschön.

Es war ein wundervoller Abend, mit hervorragendem Essen - diese Alpen-Tapas sind eine super Idee... hab schon wieder einen Tisch reserviert... 😍

My favorite restaurant in the region!

Sehr zu empfehlen! Sehr liebevolle Inhaber und wirklich ein Gaumenschmaus. Gerade für Vegetarier eine tolle Abwechslung zu Käsespätzle 😉

Kleines feines Restaurant mit super leckerm Essen und einem Hervorragendem Service. Für uns mit Abstand das beste Restaurant der gesamten Umgebung. Freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch.

Nachdem wir die Besitzer und deren Lokal in Oberammergau kennengelernt haben, verfolgen uns die Beiden derzeit immer mal wieder aber auf eine wirklich positive Art und Weise. Wir waren heute das 3. Mal zum Pizzasonntag bei denen. Jedesmal haben die Betreiber und Mitarbeiter durch exzellente Service und großartigen Pizzen geglänzt. Ich kann das Restaurant nur wärmstens empfehlen!.

Absolute Sterne Küche - wir sind begeistert!!! 5 Gänge Menü vom Feinsten - alles geschmacklich abgestimmt und absolute Gaumen-Explosion mit bester Weinbegleitung! Kleiner Familienbetrieb und absolut liebenswerte Gastwirte - definitive Empfehlung!!! Wir kommen wieder !

Großartiges Restaurant mit hervorragender Küche und netten Service. Wir hatten das 5 Gänge Menü - Küche auf Sterne Niveau. Unbedingt mal vorbei schauen. Es lohnt sich!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend in gemütlicher Atmosphäre bei dem sehr freundlichen Team und Familie Schachtner. Das Essen war hervorragend. Wir hatten ein Überraschungsmenü, das unseren Geschmack voll und ganz getroffen hat. Die Weinauswahl ist sehr gut und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis Spitze. Wir werden mit Sicherheit bald wieder kommen😉

Staff were very obliging, we were looking for vegetarian options and they adapted dishes to suit our needs...

Der Hammer, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, super Inhaberpaar und das Essen ist in Steigerung nicht zu definieren. Macht bitte weiter so. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend. Liebe Grüße...

Sehr gutes Essen mitten in Grainau. Sehr nette Inhaber, freundliche, ungezwungene Konversation mit dem Gast. Unser kleiner Hund durfte mit. Leckerer Hugo. Selbstgebackenes Brot und Öldip vorab. Alles rundum stimmig,lecker und kurze Wartezeit zwischen den Gängen. Genug Parkplätze in der Nähe.

Wir waren während unseres Urlaubs 4 mal im Schachtners und waren jedes Mal absolut begeistert. Anja und Thomas sind fantastische Gastgeber und überzeugen durch eine außergewöhnliche Küche, hervorragende Weine und ganz viel Herzlichkeit. Wer in seinem Grainau Urlaub Mal etwas anderes als das "typisch bayrische" Essen probieren möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Das Menü ist nochmal ein besonderes Erlebnis. Wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen! Ganz lieben Dank für die schönen Abende. Nadine & Thomas

Wir waren zu unserem Jahrestag dort und haben uns vom 4-Gang Menü überraschen lassen. Es war ein absoluter Hammer! Das Essen hat man in der Kombination wahrscheinlich noch nie probiert, aber es war alles extrem stimmig und lecker! Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir in Grainau sind, da wirklich alles gestimmt hat. Danke auch nochmal für die sehr freundliche Gastfreundschaft.

Ehrlich gesagt, für mich ist es eines der besten Restaurants, in denen ich je in Deutschland war. Wir haben ein 3-Gänge-Überraschungsmenü bestellt, das uns sehr gut geschmeckt hat, eine wunderbare und angenehme gastronomische Erfahrung! Wir kommen wieder!

Wir sind im Rahmen unseres Urlaubs bei Schachtner‘s eingekehrt. Es ist ein kleines, aber wahnsinnig gemütliches Restaurant. Der Empfang ist super herzlich. Vor dem Essen wurde selbst gebackenes Brot mit einem zubereitetem Olivenöl gereicht. Das Essen selbst war wahnsinnig lecker und man schmeckt förmlich die Leidenschaft des Kochs für gutes Essen. Generell scheinen die Eigentümer für das Restaurant zu leben. Alles in Allem ein gelungener Abend. Sollten wir zukünftig noch mal in der Gegend sein, schauen wir bestimmt wieder vorbei.

Anja und Thomas haben ein süßes kleines Restaurant in mitten von Grainau. Seit drei Monaten zaubern die beiden feinste Küche & besten Service. Ich kann wirklich nicht viel sagen, außer wow. Hingehen lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Weiter so ihr beide :) - Liebe Grüße aus Trier (Lars&Thomas)

Außergewöhnlich, köstlich, noch nie so gegessen und genossen. Ein unvergesslicher Abend, mit tollen Gesprächen mit den Wirtsleuten und den Gästen. Nicht nur für Einheimische, alle waren sehr offen und interessiert. Das Essen selbst war so liebevoll zubereitet und angerichtet, kreativ ungewöhnlich kombiniert und ein unbeschreiblicher Hochgenuss. Vom selbstgebackenen Brot bis zum selbst geräucherten Lachs und dem besten Thunfischsteak, was ich je gegessen habe. Man muss es selbst probieren und wirken lassen. Ein großes Dankeschön für dieses kulinarisches Erlebnis 🥰
