Bavaria, Germany Food Guide: 10 Central European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Passau
Reviews on Central European food in Passau, Bavaria, Germany. Known as Dreiflüssestadt (City of Three Rivers), Passau is the place where the Danube meets the Inn and the Ilz. The picturesque city lies in Germany’s far southeast corner near the Austrian border. Settled since prehistory and a former hub of the salt trade, it became the Roman village of Batavis, then later the Holy Roman Empire’s largest diocese and a sword-making center. Saint Stephan’s Cathedral, home of the world’s second-largest cathedral organ, is one of Passau’s favorite attractions.

Our Christmas get-together for work was here last week and I have mixed feelings.Cons: Our tables were spread throughout the restaurant. It was very difficult to hear anyone more than about half a meter away. Service was very slow (but friendly enough). I showed up to the party late and after 8 p.m. on a weeknight it took about 15 minutes to get a beer after ordering and close to 40 minutes to get the pulled pork plate (or "dog," which I don't understand - there was no "dog" element to it), which I picked because the only component on it that would have to have been cooked semi-recently is the fries. By the time I got the food, the fries were cold. The "homemade" barbecue sauce tasted like someone doctored some bottled barbecue sauce. There was no tang and no spice to it.Pros: The pulled pork. I spent my teenage years and part of my grad school years in Georgia and the pulled pork at Braves Mädchen would keep up with a lot of places there. The pulled pork really is what kept the visit from being in the two-star range. I may see if I can just buy a pound of pork sometime and serve it with my homemade Lexington Dip or mustard sauce. The pizzas looked really good, too.I'll give the restaurant a second chance sometime under other circumstances.

Right next door to Hotel Koenig and overlooking the cruise boats on the River Danube, although only a few outdoor tables achieve this! Very busy but the service was friendly and fast. The food was excellent with the usual Austrian helpings (large) so be aware. I had a reasonable size glass of Austrian Chardonnay and a Balkan dish of liver and tomatoes with a sauerkraut salad and a Ajoy sauce...delicious all for â¬15!I can recommend this place wholeheartedly.

The food was really great, the beer average, service good. The location of the toilets is a bit awkward, and it was also a bit cold at the tables near the entrance hall, and of course in the hall itself.

This is a perfect place to relax for awhile over a glass of wine or a coffee. Friendly, English speaking staff. Fresh flowers and lit candles throughout make this place warm and cozy. Free WIFI and clean restrooms. They make their own pear and apple brandy from the Black Forest which is excellent and not overpriced. They have food too- fresh. Meats and desserts look wonderful. Great find.

My son and I were visiting Passau and had dinner here. The restaurant is very traditionally German but the food was a cut above what one normally finds. I had schnitzel and my son had kase spaetzel. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, the service friendly and efficient, and the decor very traditional. Plus the beer was good. A nice dinner choice near the tip of the old town.

The restaurant 'Bayerischer Lowe' offers a nice biergarten in the Passau city centre. The dishes are typical Bavarian style. You should try it!

The history of the house and the historic wood panelled rooms make eating here a special experience. The quality of the food is excellent, the service OK.

We stopped in for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. Cool and trendy inside and a beautiful garden, where we sat for dinner. Excellent wine list. Friendly service and great food. The iberico pork chop was delicious. All the choices are imaginative and contain the freshest ingredients (we saw them bringing in the mushrooms at 5:30pm). There are many good restaurants in this small town, this is an excellent one!
