Wirtshaus Bayerischer Löwe in Passau

Great beer garden under chestnut trees with delicious food and 🍺

The beer garden is located under beautiful chestnut trees, providing pleasant shade. The food was good and the service friendly. Unfortunately, my meal arrived significantly later than that of the others in our group. The proximity to the road somewhat dampens the atmosphere, as motorcycles roar past intermittently. Some of the restrooms are in need of renovation. Overall, a solid place with a few minor flaws.

A real must-visit in Passau! The Bayerischer Löwe restaurant impresses across the board – from the warm atmosphere to the excellent food. The cuisine consistently delivers 5-star quality, and at absolutely fair prices. The quality, taste, and portions are simply perfect. The service is exceptional – fast, attentive, and all-around friendly. I would especially like to highlight Yvonne, the staff member: She is a true gem in service. Even in stressful moments, she keeps an overview, has an eye for every detail, and serves with a natural warmth that is rare these days. Her smile is contagious and ensures that you feel completely welcome as a guest. The location is cozy, traditional Bavarian, yet modern – perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or a good meal for two. In conclusion: If you want to eat well and feel comfortable in Passau, you should definitely stop by the Bayerischer Löwe. A clear recommendation – we will definitely be back!

Great location and very friendly. Good food.

On Sunday lunchtime we wanted to have a nice meal, we were looked after by a Therasa who served us very unfriendly because of our appearance, we paid for our food and drink but because of this discrimination because of our appearance we get no respect which people should give to other people...The food was prompt but in my opinion the service staff is not suitable for this job.

I loved it there, and the food was fantastic; I'd go back anytime. The beer garden was in the middle of town, but it was wonderfully quaint and very cozy; we felt very comfortable.

Nice beer garden, but I didn't like the beer 🤷

Rustic Bavarian … very good food … large portions … delicious beer … definitely not the last time there

Very, very good food. The only thing that could be improved is the cushions on the chairs in the beer garden.

Beautiful beer garden, everything to our satisfaction❗️👍 Fast and very friendly service❗️😎

The food itself was very good, but the waitress, "Ivka," was quite unfriendly! No hello, no goodbye, no personality.

Very nice restaurant. The food is delicious, with large portions.

Our visit to the Bayrischer Löwen was unfortunately disappointing. The food was disappointing in taste and overpriced for the quality offered. The service seemed unmotivated and unfriendly. Overall, the visit did not meet our expectations of a traditional inn.

Top address in Passau Right next to the bus station

Centrally located beer garden with a wide selection of food and beers. Friendly, pleasant service, large portions, and fair value.

The gypsy schnitzel is a dream.

Very good food. I highly recommend the roast pork. Our vegetarians were also satisfied.

We waited there for lunch on Mother's Day. Unfortunately, the food was just okay: everything was reheated, lukewarm, and the potato skin was inedible because it was completely hard and tough.

A good Bavarian restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. I have to make some concessions with the food; it's designed for mass consumption, and therefore, in my opinion, the food is only average. So, it's not bad, but it's not particularly good compared to other smaller restaurants. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Service is good, but we were annoyed that we received the starter salad at the same time as the main course. You want to eat in peace and not feel like your table is just waiting to be cleared.

The best roast pork with an incredible crust I've ever had! I'd definitely go back.

Delicious and fast service, typically Bavarian👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very tasty food at a fair price. Very child-friendly.

Good food, friendly service, and a rustic atmosphere. The menu offers a great selection of Bavarian classics. The service was attentive and warm, and the ambiance was typically Bavarian and very inviting. The value for money is absolutely spot on.

Classic Bavarian cuisine, friendly staff, always

The food was okay, the portion sizes were normal but nothing special. You certainly can't go wrong with a visit to this restaurant, but I've had better meals at cheaper prices.

We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel. Excellent Bavarian antipasti, amazing cheese spaetzle, and delicious schnitzel. The children's menu was also great. All around, the food was hearty and good. And top-notch service.

Advance reservation for 12 people Perfectly served Excellent food Friendly and cheerful service Simply superb Bavarian atmosphere Highly recommended

If you are looking for good and reasonably priced food in an attractive location, go there once, fast and friendly service, you can watch the chefs preparing the food from your seat, very high quality of the food, gladly again, clean toilets

Long hair in the salad. We reported it, but the staff didn't respond at all... No apology or consideration. Absolutely no customer focus. We won't be back.

Wir waren zu zehnt und jeder war begeistert vom Essen und Service. Ich hatte die beste und knusprigste Scheinshaxe meines Lebens!

Great view of the Inn River. A terrace is right next door. If you like, there's live Bavarian music. Otherwise, the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Great prices, decent quality, nothing more.

If you enjoy good Bavarian food, you've come to the right place. The Reindl with duck, knuckle of pork, and roast pork with red cabbage and white cabbage is highly recommended! Enjoy!

Typical Bavarian pub atmosphere with a beer garden. Very nice and centrally located.

AFRICASIAEUROCOM - German style efficiency visible everywhere. I chose the Weisswurst this is Bavarias signature dish.

Delicious food and super nice service.

Great service, great food, thank you very much!

Highly recommended, great staff

Typical Bavarian cuisine, little bit noisy

We ordered 5 different dishes today and everything was super tasty and the service was very quick and super nice despite being busy. The beer garden is a dream anyway. A clear recommendation from us.

Yes, very nice, food was delicious, very good staff

There is a super good knuckle here, enough for 2 people or to take the rest with you. It also tastes delicious cold. I ate asparagus and can only say that the sauce was great too

I can only recommend the knuckle!

Authentic Bavarian Kitchen every dish looked amazing. Large portions and absolutely delicious. Nice beer garden

Drinks and food came super quickly, great service and staff. Everything tasted great.

Trotz der direkten Lage an der Straße angenehmes Ambiente, trotz mehrerer Gäste sehr schnelle, freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen was ausgezeichnet, egal ob Käsespätzle, Veggie Pfanne, Cordon Bleu oder Teller mit Obazta, Wurstsalat und Ähnlichem... Tip: Hausbier im Steinkrug

The reviews didn't lie, it's a great company

First of all. We have been going there for dinner about 2 to 3 times for over 15 years. Our last visit on May 2nd, 2025 was good in terms of food. The only problem was paying. We had eaten and drank and the waiter wanted to settle the bill because he wanted to have lunch. Everything okay. But then we ordered something to drink and then wanted to pay. When we got the bill, we noticed that there was one beer and one Aperol too many on the bill. When I pointed this out to the waitress (THERESA), she said we should drink less alcohol next time, then at least we would know what we had drunk. It was an absolute shame for me to accuse myself of ALCOHOLISM even though I still had to go to Wels. Definitely the last visit for my wife and me because we could have saved ourselves that statement. P.s.: We left a 15 euro tip on two bills

Das Essen war sehr schmackhaft und wurde zeitnah serviert. Der telefonische Kontakt wegen der Reservierung war auch sehr gut! Was uns sehr fasziniert hat: Jede der Servicekräfte war total freundlich und gut drauf. Man hat richtig gemerkt, daß die alle Spaß bei der Arbeit haben! Sehr gut! Weiter so!! Wir können das Restaurant vorbehaltlos empfehlen!!!

Very good food, nice service, again at any time.

Not bike friendly!! At eleven o'clock at noon the beer garden was still almost empty. I wanted to park my bike there next to my table so I could keep an eye on it. Unfortunately this is not tolerated. Absolutely not recommended!

Schnitzel was as old as the baked potato. Freshness fails in this restaurant with these dishes

meine Frau hat die Schweins Hax´n mein Sohn und ich das Wirtshaus Reindl gegessen kann ich nur weiter empfehlen die Anreise aus Linz war es wert

You can eat very well here. There is also a beer garden. The location is convenient.

Very nice beer garden with hearty food and beer, as you would expect there. Fast and nice service. If the weather is good after a bike ride, it's just the thing!

We got a table spontaneously. Experienced Bavarian tavern charm in what felt like a somewhat hectic atmosphere (sat near the kitchen). The food was impeccable, as were the cyclists. Anyone who likes classic Bavarian cuisine is in good hands.

Very good food and the service is absolutely great 👍🏽.

The Wirtshaus Bayerischer Löwe is a super nice restaurant with regional cuisine in a central location in Passau's old town. The rooms are quaint and cozy, and the beer garden “in the middle of the city” is simply great in summer. The staff are friendly and attentive, so you immediately feel at home here. The menu offers many regional dishes and the food tastes really good, for example the Löwen-Pfandl, the house-style cheese spaetzle or the Swiss sausage salad. And the little guests will also find what they are looking for and be happy here.

A great beer garden with atmosphere. The food was super tasty. The service staff was very friendly, attentive and competent

We arrived in Passau. It was raining wildly. We walked around and discovered this beautiful inn. Inviting from the outside and inside, you immediately felt at home. The atmosphere is rustic and Bavarian. You are served immediately and the menu leaves nothing to be desired in Bavaria. Priced as usual. But taste excellent. The Bavarian delicacy platter was very tasty. With Obazda, Erdäpfelkas etc. Highly recommended. And the house beer has a gigantic taste and finish 👍 you'll want to stop drinking Ned The inn is highly recommended. You feel good when you feel good. And that is the focus here Thank you for the delicious food and the tasty beer 🍻 🍺

Centrally located, you can sit and eat in the beer garden.

I'm taking on the challenge of studying German pork (German pig's feet). The atmosphere is nice and the service is refreshing. When I told him I came alone, he told me to sit anywhere. There is house beer, but you just order water. The food came out 10 minutes after ordering. If you go to Passau, you must try it.

I have rarely experienced such rude and unfriendly staff as at Löwenbräu in Passau - especially the female waitresses. From the first contact you were greeted with an expression on your face as if you were being a bother just because you wanted to order something. No smile, no friendliness - just stroppy and dismissive. We first sat down outside, where the waitress served us with a level of unfriendliness that was second to none. When it got colder later, we wanted to sit inside - a completely normal wish. But instead of showing understanding, we were literally shouted at by another waitress about how dare we just go inside. It literally said that this was “only for guests who are eating” and since we had only ordered drinks, we were not welcome there. Instead we were told to move to some standing tables - completely disrespectful and condescending. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant of this type. We were stunned, paid immediately and left the restaurant. The entire interaction with guests was dubious, dismissive and completely unacceptable. I can only advise everyone not to go there. Fortunately, there are many other restaurants in Passau with good service - the Löwenbräu is definitely not one of them.

Hello, I was just there with my boyfriend and had something to drink, so I honestly don't know if all the female waitresses there have a bad love life, but that was really underground! The 3 stars only go to the nice waiters, who should of course also be mentioned. I was made to feel like I wasn't welcome! I'm a server myself and I know how stressful it can be, but I would never make a guest feel worthless! Just because we wanted to finish our drink inside because it was raining outside there was a discussion in front of us, I would understand if the table had been reserved or other guests had been waiting, but no, just like that. The whole thing was very traumatic! Thank God Passau has even more to offer! But really sad about the foreign, very nice waiters who really tried and stood up for us!

The portion was huge - everyone gets their money's worth here! The meat was super tender and wonderfully crispy on the outside. The sauce: a dream, really spicy and round in taste. There is also a really nice beer garden with a really cozy atmosphere. The service was quick and friendly – ​​an all-round great experience. Absolutely recommended!

Hunger drove us past and we sat in the beer garden. The food was plentiful and of good quality. Prices are normal according to the situation. Service takes a while. Waiting time is to be expected (not too bad). Staff friendly and helpful. We'll be back. Info: 2 adults 1 child 1 teenager. So there's something for everyone on the menu.

It's a shame, Reindl ordered, everything should be fresh. The crusty roast was the end piece and was dry and without a crust. After a complaint, the service manager brought two slices of crust. Then to the supposed crisp 1/4 duck, totally dry and overcooked, as if it had been lying around for a long time. Only the two dumplings were warm, the rest, including the red cabbage, weren't even lukewarm. And when you complain to the service management you are also contacted, unfortunately no ability to criticize.

Very tasty food and really great service

Good down-to-earth Bavarian cuisine

Went to the beer garden yesterday with my girlfriend for a cool blonde… half of the seats were reserved and the others were occupied. When, after some searching, we found a place without a reserved card, after about ten minutes of waiting we were told we should sit somewhere else, the table belongs to the table next to it and both are reserved. I replied that we were only there for a quick drink and there was no reserved sign on the table. (Approximately 20 tables free - rest occupied) The very unfriendly lady simply places the reserved card on our table and makes it clear to us that there is no room for us here! Last time I was there as a Passauer!! Such disgusting staff!!

Waiting 30 minutes for the waiter was really bad because there wasn't much going on. 1 hour until the food arrived wasn't convincing either, even though everything had already been ordered from the start. Food was ok but nothing special. It was very loud from the street in the beer garden. I'm used to better things.

Inviting beer garden in the middle of the city, but unfortunately on a busy street. We would have liked to have eaten in the afternoon, but due to the staff's poor communication/team spirit, everything went haywire. A hard-working and unfortunately overwhelmed waiter was unfortunately not supported by his colleagues, who were obviously underutilized. After an hour we were interrupted while ordering food due to other more important issues. The order taking would not continue even 10 minutes later. The food on the neighboring tables looked very tasty, we would have liked to have enjoyed it.

I had a fantastic experience with Stackt last month! The team was polite, efficient, and their storage pricing was one of the best deals I found. A five-star experience all around!

A good traditional Bavarian inn. Price-performance ratio is good. There are also only good things to say about the service. The atmosphere is very nice, old Bavarian. The drinks are reasonably priced, and the knuckle was wonderful. Large portion and above average. There is no shortage of food here...everything is delicious. Clear recommendation from me.

We are visiting the Bavarian Forest from Berlin and wanted to have a really nice Bavarian meal. It worked 100% here! Rustic atmosphere, the service was super friendly (also to our little dog, water was even brought for the dog "without ordering" ❤️) and the food was simply incredibly delicious! Even as a vegetarian, I had a good selection here and I would have loved to have the Kaiserschmarrn (it had raisins and I really enjoyed eating it, even though I really don't like raisins). The portions were also huge and the friendly waitress packed everything for us to take away. Card payment was also possible. So an absolute recommendation! 😊

Rustic Bavarian tavern with large portions and reasonable petits.

Very good food. Portion was generous. The waitress was very nice. We'll be back.

Food came quickly and was excellent But the staff was unfriendly and annoyed The reason for this was that we were in traditional costume, which unfortunately is no longer so popular in Bavaria. I won't come again because of the staff. Tradition is just as much a part of it as the beer they sell

The schnitzels are very tasty and recommended. A very good restaurant for people who like Bavarian cuisine. I'd love to come back.

Very nice inn with top staff and very good food!! It was awesome. Very baby friendly

Pig knuckle and red cabbage was the Biggest and Best BEST

A typical Bavarian inn. We had excellent food and drinks. The waitress (Mrs. Marianne) was extremely friendly and prompt, and immediately found a great solution for a special request. For this reason, we went back the next day and once again enjoyed the ambiance, the good food, and the evening. Very good value for money. Recommendation: definitely a visit!

Top location in the middle of the old town. very friendly service and with fil friends for the gesture. for the children also seers the service brought something for the children to paint. and top quality and beautiful Bavarian dishes and a direct view of the kitchen I recommend...

Great food, great service!!! All in all, highly recommended!!

Käsespätzle aus der Metro, geriebener Emmentaler aus der Tüte trocken vermischt und in der Mikrowelle warm gemacht. Die Spätzle waren am Rand hart. Auf meinen Kommentar hin hieß es, dass andere Gäste dies auch vor mir bereits bemängelten.

"Weißwurst-Frühstück" um 11:00 Die Weißwürste waren gut. Aber alte Bretzel vom Vortag, aufgebacken……das geht gar nicht!!!

Plenty of portions, great atmosphere, delicious food😋👍

Food super tasty and quick. Great, attentive service and cozy atmosphere. Gladly again at any time!!! 😊

Super friendly staff, great service and reasonably priced. Gladly again

Super tasty food, large portions, super friendly staff. Everything in old Bavarian style. Price is more than justified given the portions.

Nice service, delicious food and large portions. Bavarian tavern

Super tasty roasted crust and super tasty duck. The house beer is also highly recommended. The waiter was very polite and the waiting times were short, despite there being a lot of guests

A wonderful Bavarian inn with a rustic, rustic atmosphere – exactly how you want it! The knuckle was perfect: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with fluffy dumplings and hearty sauerkraut - a real treat. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, we felt completely at home. We'll definitely be back!

I ate the best roast pork and the best Kaiserschmarrn I've ever had here. You have to write a review! Please keep it up! Beautiful, cozy traditional inn with great food and good service.

Received the food I ordered faster than anywhere else. Roast pork is absolutely great, I have it too. Strong beer is great. Of course you and your wife have to be there when you go to Passau

Traditional Bavarian inn basically in the city center. The price is still okay. Great taste. Beer served in chilled steins. Highly recommended.

Oh, German food, you!!! A place that is very upfront about what it is. Resembling a typical Bavarian tavern, the eatery is a good representation of traditional cuisine which does not seek to flatter where it does not need to. The restaurant is very popular and has a wide choice of any type of germanic food like schnitzel, knödel, sausages, and so on. You certainly will not find any culinary exquisites or an approachable introduction to German cuisine, but if you seek a simple filling meal with a side of salad or sauerkraut to have a beer along with - this place is for you.

I brought my Taiwanese colleagues here and they were thrilled. I can also recommend the inn to everyone, really great food.

What can you say - a dream! Thank you for the lovely hospitality, also so kind to the two little kids! Kind regards from Austria!

Went for dinner with friends. Delicious Bavarian home cooking at reasonable prices.

Always enjoy coming here! Great food, great prices and service! Always well attended! My favorite restaurant in Passau! Duck and goose are highly recommended!
