Fussen Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Fussen
Fussen is steeped in over 700 years of history, from its roots as a Roman trading fort to its present-day status as a nearly secret Alpine holiday escape. Situated on the southern end of the Romantic Road, the medieval town center is framed by the majestic Alps, towering above the banks of the river Lech and surrounding lake region. Here you will discover late-gothic castles, baroque cathedrals and the oldest preserved fresco in Bavaria.

1. Gasthof Krone

Reviewed By Dayna L - Harrisburg, United States
This was our first night in Germany, and it was the offseason. All of the best restaurants were closed. Rather than eat a non-German meal, we went to this place even though I knew it definitely catered to the tourists. Perhaps it was an off night, but the food was terrible. My pork knuckle was so overcooked that I could barely eat much of it. The sauerkraut was too salty, as were the potato dumplings. At first, I thought it was just my American tastebuds that had the better of me, but after a truly authentic and fabulous mean in Landsberg am Lech, the following night, I knew that wasn't the case. I really should have just eaten in my hotel and would have had a much better dinner! - I travel all over the world, and I know that I have high expectations when it comes to eating. Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and bypass this place.

We decided to come here for an early dinner after seeing the reviews. The food was great (although not memorable since I can’t remember what we got), and our server was awesome and attentive. One negative thing was that there were flies EVERYWHERE. We were seated inside and there were so many that it got to be pretty annoying.

My wife, with family, shared our 35th wedding anniversary dinner at the Fruhlingsgarten while vacationing in Germany. Simply put, this was by far the best meal we had during our 10-day travels through Bavaria. We had the Bavarian Beef, Fruhlingsgarten Filetteller, and Allgauer Kasspatzen, and then finished it off with the Homemade Sorbet. Everyone raved about how well-prepared and tasty the food was.

Romantic Restaurant with a fantastic view to the fairytale Castle Neuschwanstein and the Bavarian Alps. In the differently designed areas of the restaurant, guests can enjoy delightful creations of the young kitchen team, which is characterized by seasonal products from the region combined with international influences. First-class wines and excellent cocktails at the hotel bar complete the culinary experience of Louis II.

Definitely a great surprise. I ate a veal schnitzel that was absolutely delicious, for a reasonable price considering that's the restaurant of a superior 4* hotel in a highly touristic place. I was just disappointed by the dessert. Besides, the place itself is charming, and the waiters were really kind. I would recommend it to anybody going to Füssen/Schwangau.

A wonderful place to start the day! Offering a huge variety of breakfast, the Kurcafe has something tasty for everyone: Bavarian Weisswurst and Brezn, warm English breakfast, great selection of serials and, and, and...
Just the service personnel isn't providing the same standard not paying attention at all to the guests, and leaving empty dishes on the table forever and a day...

I know it may sound strange, but Il Pescatore is one of the most authentic and delicious Italian restaurants I've ever been to!!!
My husband and I went here after our hote conciergel had highly recommended it for a mid-week, late night meal. It's rather hard to find anywhere that is open in the small village late at night, but luckily we got a table reserved for 8pm.
What an absolute gem this place is!!! It's completely family-owned and operated, made apparent by the young Italian kids running through the kitchen while pastas and wines were continuously flowing in and out of the doorways.
We had just recently gotten engaged earlier that day, so our sweet waitress brought us celebratory spirits on the house to celebrate! This was back in November 2014 and it was such a wonderful (and delicious) choice that we encouraged friends to go recently on their trip to Füssen and they had a very similar experience! (that was this past year)
I cannot wait to go back once we make it overseas again as the service, the pasta, pizza and overall ambiance was like no other. Its very rare that you find quaint and homey cafes that make you feel like family the moment you walk in.
Thank you Il Pesca for welcoming us into your home!

The standard pizzas are a pretty good size - we got 3 for 4 of us, and had plenty left over. The pastas we saw passing by while we were waiting were also pretty big portions. The mixed salad was very good, and also big portions. Id' recommend this restaurant, especially if you have picky eaters, or folks who need a break from Bavarian meat-and-sauce meals.

We stayed in a little gasthaus a few blocks away, and were recommended to Helmerhof, where we had possible the best meal, freshest ingredients and best service that we had during a week in Bavaria. (The table note stated all wait staff were seniors who appreciated tips !) Lovely decor, informal, indoor and outdoor Seating, and large portions.In a rural village with lots of parking not far from the famous castle of Mad Ludwig. We recommend the pancake soup, and anything made with seasonal vegetables. Clearly it's a real farm-to-table experience.

It being Bavaria, I didn't have very high expectations for non-meat options. I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the local specialty - cabbage leaves stuffed with bread/mushroom/herb mix. The dish was absolutely amazing - large, very hot, served in a light sauce with sauteed vegetables. I wasn't that hungry but I polished it off! There were 3-4 other vegetarian options that looked amazing, and the woman next to me ate one of them - dumplings with local cheese and spinach. I could have easily returned 3-4 times to try all the others. There are many meat options too, of course. My husband's dish was served in a ceramic baking platter - I love when dishes are 'oven to table.' it was very delicious as well by his account. While the server didn't speak English, we did ok. Prices were reasonable and the atmosphere - vaulted ceilings, etc. was pleasant. We had a very nice time and from memory the meal was under EUR 40 - an unbelievable deal for the quality of food and the overall experience.
