5 stars for the quarkini stand in front of the restaurant, which has amazing quarkini(donut balls slightly chewy on the inside with a light crispy outside)! These were hands-down the best donut balls I’ve had since my last visit to Leonard’s in Honolulu for malasadas. If you are visiting Neuschweinstein castle, do yourself a favor and check to see if they are making the quarkinis fresh and hot out front of this restaurant just a couple hundred yards down the hill. If they are, get a bag of three, you won’t regret it!

What a nice find — go glad we didn’t get food from the grab-and-go that’s attached to the restaurant. The special was great! And a lot of food for the price. Coffee was a bit expensive. We had a wonderful lunch with great vistas. Probably nicer to eat up here, next to the castle than down in the town.

Whether it was the altitude, the long hike to Neuschwanstein Castle, the cool, brisk Autumn air, or the fact that I skipped breakfast that morning, I really enjoyed my wiener schnitzel mit pommes frites here, along with a Hofbrau beer. The location of this restaurant is just below Neuschwanstein Castle, so the scenery and location couldn’t be more idyllic. We had a huge party with us, and everyone enjoyed their food. It is the usual German fare, from bratwurst, wiener schnitzel, pork shoulder, etc. The real treat here is to hit the stand at the entrance to the restaurant that makes what our guide called«Snow Balls». They are like beignets with powdered sugar… hot, doughy balls of goodness. A perfect end to the meal as you continue your stroll back down into town.

Perfect location! Menu covered all the necessary bases. Service was polite, quick, spoke English, all correct. I thought the place would be full at 1:30pm(especially given the location), but there were plenty of seats available and service was quick. I thought my bratwurst was good, but the potato salad was mushy and didn’t have much flavor. Kids’ spaetzle was so-so. One kid did not like her frankfurter(said there were gristle bits). Strawberry kuchen was average. But, location is everything, and eating in the patio on a sunny afternoon after visiting Neuschwanstein before descending the hill was perfect.

Tasty German fare with the usual favorites of pork, sausages, potatoes, spätzle, and more. Spaghetti is also on the menu for fussy kids. I had the schweinishaxe pork shank bone-in: it was more food than I could comfortably consume not unlike gnawing through a ren-faire size chicken leg. The accompanying knodeln was awesome.

Staff were polite and very welcoming. This place was very busy but we did not have to wait long for a table for 9 people. Food was served quickly and was delicious! Meals are a very reasonable price too. This is the perfect place to stop off for lunch before going on a castle tour.

After seeing the castle we were cold & hungry. I got the goulash soup which was good. Our new friends we met that day also enjoyed. They let us bring my pup in & the twin waiters were very nice. I hope to try more of their menu next time, we were in a bit of a rush to catch our bus back.

The location is great and the ambience is wonderful. However the hot chocolate here was less than appealing and tasted more like milk than hot chocolate… a bit disappointing. I cannot comment on the food as we did not eat here. There are loads of places down below to eat so in case you are looking there is plenty of choice once you get down from the castle.

Auch wenn die Portion Kässpätzle für 8,90 ein wenig klein ausgefallen ist, satt waren wir danach auf jeden Fall. Bonuspunkte gibt es für die«echten» Zwiebeln. Gegen 14:00 war es jedoch relativ schwierig, die Aufmerksamkeit des Personals zu erhalten. In Schloßnähe hätte ich miesere Qualität zu höheren Preisen erwartet. Von daher ist das Schloßrestaurant wirklich in Ordnung, wenn man sich nach/vor dem Besuch von Neuschwanstein stärken möchte.

I had been in Germany for two days and have yet to taste local German food. Luckily when we were walking downhill we came across this beautiful Bavarian restaurant we noticed on the carriage ride up. We were promptly seated and our drink order was taken. They have a very impressive beer offering here. For lunch I started with the goulash and the nurnberger sausage as my entrée. Both were excellent and the portions were just right. Niki ordered the spatzel with cheese and onions. She enjoyed this dish very much and I tasted it myself, delicious. For dessert we shared an apple strudel. It was perfect and just the right size for two to enjoy. This is a must for those visiting the castle and I hear that this location also serves as a hotel. Next time we will have to eat and sleep here.

This restaurant was in the ideal location for those walking up the steep climb to Neuschwanstein castle. I found myself on this very climb in early December 2012, pushing a baby buggy uphill, in the snow, for about 45 minutes. I rounded the corner as I was getting closer and closer to the castle and more tired and smelled and saw an outdoor grill which was cooking«snow balls», little warm pastries that were perfect to counteract the cold and snow. This is where everyone was stopping on the way up or down. It is a good place to have a couple of drinks also before jumping back into the snow. This provided a great break at what seemed like a never ending climb and also a decent dinner after leaving the castle on the way back down.

Das Schloss Restaurant Neuschwanstein. Dies als Restaurant zu bezeichnen ist sicherlich etwas Hoch gegriffen. Hier handelt es sich um einen SB Bistro im Schloss, welches man auch nur nach der Führung erreicht. eine kleine Speisenauswahl und Kuchen Auswahl sowie eine Getränke Auswahl erwartet einen hier in einem kleinen aber modernen Raum wie man ihn aus Kauf– Möbelhäusern und manchen Kantinen kennt. Die Bedienung die für die Speisen zuständig war, schien höflich fröhlich und nett zu sein. Anders die Kassen Dame, sie zog eine Mine(Gesicht) das einem die Lust vergehen könnte. Wir zogen uns einen Cappu aus dem WMF Vollautomaten und bezahlten bei der nicht gut gelaunten Dame. Dann ging wir in den Modern und schön eingerichteten Gastraum neben an. Wirklich wunder schön altes mit modernen Kombiniert. Die Bedienung kostet bei meiner Bewertung dem Bistro leider einen Stern. Weil sie wirklich die Atmosphäre und die Gemütlichkeit Massive gestört hat. Wenn man keine Lust zum Arbeiten hat, und einem jeder Gast zu viel ist(wo man doch nur abkassieren muss), dann sollte man nicht an so einem Ort arbeiten. Die Preis sind man muss für die Lage im Schloss und das es eine reine Touristen Lokalität sagen günstig. Der Cappu kostete 2,60EUR. An den kleinen Holz Imbiss Buden unterhalb des Schlosses wo dann auch Urlauber die nur beim Schloss und im Schlosshof waren also keine Schloss Besichtigung machten, dann schon 40 cent mehr.

Nach besuchtem Schloß darf man sich doch sicherlich ein Radler(oder eine Apfelsaftschole für die noch Unter-5-jährigen) genehmigen? Eine schoene Aussicht, nettes Personal und ein Radler(o, 5l) fuer Euro 3,60 in prime location — da bin ich zufrieden. Das Allgäu ist schön!
