Reviews for Bavarian Chef in Madison, VA
Delicious, authentic German/euro style food with very quaint atmosphere inside. Beautiful stained glass and decorations, plus... staff is knowledgeable about meals and willing to explain/recommend. Kinda pricey but you?re definitely paying for the wholeexperience. Read more
Wonderful service and delicious food. No one left hungry and we had plenty of leftovers. I appreciated that they had a separate... menu that identified all Gluten Free options / modifications. Our server was very attentive and fast. We're kicking ourselvesfor passing by the establishment before and not stopping- excited to go back next time we're in town! Read more
A really good German restaurant with amazing service. Our waiter modified a couple of dishes to meet our dietary restrictions. ... The French Onion soup was off the charts delicious. Veal Schnitzel in pear sauce was amazing. Unfortunately we were so full,we could not indulge in the delicious looking desserts. Read more
I?m struggling to give them a 4 instead of 5 but unfortunately I can?t but notice some flaws. We came around 1 PM on a Saturday... and the restaurant was quite empty. The pretzel appetizer was very rich and well-seasoned with the sausages and veggies, and thecheese was wonderful. Although I have to say the pretzel itself was a disappointment?very hard and seem not properly risen.Although it very much could be the German way but it really isn?t to my taste. My entree, the classic Bavarian sausage platter,was perfect. The sausages were huge, and the sauerkraut and mashed potato were so perfect together. The sides though (we hadgreen beans, zucchini, spaetzle, and potato dumplings) were very mundane. The spaetzle was especially a disappointment as theflavor is so boring and the texture very hard. Probably they prepared it at the beginning of the day and it has just beensitting there for half a day. The desert we had, was the German Chocolate Cake. The icing was really really good, but the cakeitself was so dense. That part was really unpleasant and I wish it were different. All the items were huge portions. We neededup bringing so many food home. So the value is very fair. The service was also very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the placevery much. I personally do not mind the old building.

Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 5/5 Atmosphere - 4/5 I?ve had family living in Bavaria and this is authentic food. They have... many imported Paulaner beers (THE classic brand of German beer) and all the classic dishes. A broad menu and interestingspecials, some with seafood. A big dessert menu. While the prices do seem high, they give you massive portion sizes and it?sactually a great value in total. For $50/person, we may me able to make 3 total meals/person with leftovers. The atmospherefeels very German and they play cheerful polka but in some rooms, the structure does seem a bit aged. The best food within a 30minute drive, undoubtedly Read more
Food is superb!! Went there for our Anniversary. Well worth the over 1h drive!! That's how good the food is. We had the Mandel... Schnitzel with sides that are served home style. A beer garden was added with German style outdoor benches and tables. Justlike at the Oktoberfest. The only con I have is that the inside of the Restaurant could use a well deserved update. Read more
A pretty good German restaurant! We ordered pork shank and Bavarian platter - both were not on the menu but provided in the list... of today?s special. Pork shank was great with the fried onion on top. Bavarian platter was also delicious with chicken cordonbleu, sausage and brisket. For the sides, we could order 4 sides, so we ordered creamed corn, green beans, glazed carrots andzucchini. All of them were great! The dessert was just so-so. The service was pretty good. Will recommend to call in advance andmake a reservation. Read more
The price is $$$, but the food flavor and portions are equal to what your paying for. The atmosphere is nice with German music... playing and nicely wallpapered and paintings/Muriel?s on the wall. Definitely worth the trip and a return trip. Everythingordered tasted made from scratch. Read more
