Bavaria German Restaurant

This was the best german food I ever had outside Germany, friendly service and great fantastic food and very unexp. A must for every Tourist on the Island

We had such a great time at the Bavaria that we went back for a second time!
Great food was enjoyed by all four of us. The chef even came to talk to our son, who wants to be a chef, about preparing a certain dish.
Very friendly people! If we are going back to Aruba, we certainly will go back to the Bavaria!

Thanks to this site we tried this place and it was awesome. From the moment you walk in you just know it feels right! It's like your in Germany getting a home cooked meal. My wife had the Jágerschnitzel and I had the Krustchen. Huge portions and great flavor. Huge beer menu and the service was excellent. Can't wait to come back next year

Still our Favorite place!! We took some new friends here, and also referred several people from our resort - who all report had wonderful meals, and will return. From the new smoked pork chops to the stuffed grouper to the rinderroulade, potato pancakes, red cabbage, sauerbraten, liver dumpling soup, and everything else that we had - you can tell that a lot of love goes into their food. At one meal, a friend had ordered from the Thai menu (which is run next door by Simon)- not a problem at all. We went there a total of 3 times this trip 9in 10 nights), and I miss Bavaria and the people already. They made Debbie's birthday memorable!! Excellent food, a vast selection of German beers and a full bar - along with great service and people makes Bavaria #1 in our book. I continue to recommend Bavaria - and if you have not tried it.... you are missing out on a gem of a restaurant. Peter, Simon, Chef Jonathan, Rita and Joke...... Thank you all for your hospitality and friendship!!

We had supper at the Bavaria last night. We were welcomed by Joke and had a great supper. Our 'picky' teenagers loved the food as much as we did. I had the Jagerschnitzel which I would recommend! Great taste and we all thought we got great value for our money.
The desert, apple strudel, was also delicious.
We certainly hope to go back there this week.

My wife and I just returned to the hotel from dinner at Bavaria and I wanted to write this review before I forgot . . . We were in the mood for something different and thought that German food sounded interesting. We nearly decided to go somewhere else when we saw the picture of the dining room on their web site; it's not very fancy with folding tables and chairs. Sooo glad we decide to go anyway!

This is a family owned and operated establishment and we were served by the owner, Peter and another family member, Johanna. They were very friendly and offered suggestions for both the extensive beer menu and dinner including some great daily specials. We decided to go with the Jagerschnitzel and the Chicken Cordon Bleu with a side order of Spaetzle and all were outstanding. The mushroom sauce on the Jagerschnitzel was exquisite!!! Prices were very reasonable at $17 and $16.50 US.

I'm writing this to let as many people know about this establishment as possible. It is very difficult to get a new restaurant up and running to the point where it becomes profitable, and this place deserves to make it. They've got it all; great food and service at reasonable prices, and that combination is not easy to find in Aruba!!

We tried this restaurant for the first time and were very pleased we did. The staff was so welcoming and the decor is delightful with a wall of cuckoo clocks and lots of other german mugs, salt and pepper shakers all around.
The selection of beers was amazing making it difficult to decide there were so many good ones to pick from at great prices. Three of us had "wursts" but each one different and each delicious. One came with fried potatoes and onions and two with saurkraut and mashed potatoes - all were great and the highest priced was only $12 - others as low as $8. The fourth diner had a very large veal snitzel which was cooked perfectly, crispy and moist which came with the fried potatoes and onions. We shared an order of 5 potato pancakes with applesauce to start and thought they were terrific.

I recommend you try this place but if someone doesn't want German food, the Sawasdee Thai restaurant next door will send your food to the German place - something for everyone!

We were in a large party and enjoyed our meal there. Service was very good and so was the food, we will go back there next visit.

We always go back to Bavaria... for cold German beer and excellent food. The owner and staff are very friendly, and we have never been disappointed with the food.This trip we went there 5 times - 2 for good cold beer, 1 for apps and beers, and 2x with friends to have a great time with dinner (and good cold German beer. What can I say... it is not a "white table cloth" fancy place.... but is relaxing and a great overall experience. Thanks Peter for welcoming us back home again!!

First time to this restaurant but definetly will be back multiple times in the future. We did not observe a kissing manager this evening just Peter who we believe is the owner tending to everyones needs. Place filled up quickly . Just to give you an idea with drinks-grouper-( 3)potatoe soups - delicious pork dinner-salad red cabbage and the bill came to $87....I like to know where you can get a comparable meal anywhere for this price. I realize that everyone has different values and tastes but we really loved this meal. I find pork to usually be a little tough....this was by far the moistest I have ever had. Not on the main roads where they can have a large walk in trade so they have to earn it the hard way...with great food. You won't be disapointed

We went there on 11-10-2011 on the reviews that we read about this place. The service was great but the food ,,, Wiener Schitnzal the wife had was taste less and the Pork Cordon Blue was a 4 out of 10 on my list. They were HUGE portions and I wonder if that influences the higher reviews this place got. We are the type that will not say to much to the staff unless it is completly terrible but I would stay away from this one if you are expecting a great German meal.

A nice find and nice surprise. I don't have many German resturants near home to compare this to but enough to know this was very good. So good we went back with a friend during our second week.
I got the Jagersnitzel (twice)which is pork with a mushroom gravy, home fries. Husband got the Rinderoulade , a beef rolled with pickles,bacon and onion, served with gravy and red cabbage. Potato pancakes as an appetizer and the potato soup very good. definitely worth trying !

Peter the owner is very friendly and wants to exceed your expectations. He will go up and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Food is authentic to Germany and tasted very good. The decor is what we imagine a beer tent during Oktoberfest to look like. Nothing fancy, a little kitschy, but once you sit down, the food is all that matters. Service was fast and friendly and food cooked is to order. Highly recommend. This is our 12th visit to Arubu and now one of our must return to resteraunts.

Third visit to Aruba and a friend told us to go to this restaurant to eat. Well, if you like German food you will love this place!!! The potatoe pancakes are to die for!!! They are delicious!!! Hubby had roladin, I had venilsnitzil (veal cutlet) and bro in law had something else!! Excellent service and the men who took our order and served the food were handsome and very nce!!! Very customer friendly!! Thank you for such a nice visit!!!!

First and foremost, if you are a fan of the Wacky Wahoo, then you will love this place. Bavaria is the best kept secret in Aruba dining because most Americans only have experience with drinking German beer, but not much with the food choice (other than at theme parks).

Especially if you are a return guest to Aruba, then here is your dining experience to try once you have already eaten on the beach - you will not be disappointed with GREAT beer choices imported directly from Germany, hearty food portions, meal prices about two-thirds of the other restaurants and a beer hall dining environment that can welcome big parties of people.

We had a variety of beers, appetizers (Creamy Potato Sout, Pretzels with garlic and Potato Pancakes) and entrees (Pork cutlet with mushoom cream sauce, Grouper fillet and rolled thinly spiced beef) with them all GREAT in unique Bavarian taste and portion size, potatos and small side salad. For the purest, they have a full selection of "wurst" foods.

True advice for the night you want to experiment a little, have a unique experience, leave FULL (and maybe a little buzzed) and only spend $35 per person, this place is a MUST.

The food at Bavaria was very good. The atmosphere could use a little improving. We felt like we were walking into our local VFW or Knights of Columbus Hall. It just wasn't very cozy. We wanted to try some German Beers, but they were out of all but 2. So we really had no option. Our meals were good and the prices seemed reasonable.

We stayed 10 nights in Aruba and ate here twice for dinner. Both times it was absolutely delicious. I recommend the pretzel with garlic sauce appetizer. The pretzels were so soft and amazing. The garlic dipping sauce was also fantastic. I had the #209 Holzfallersnitzel. Breaded pork with sauted onions and pan-fried potatoes. So good I had it both times. The second time the pork was a little over done but so delicious I didn't complain. If you like darker beer I recommend Paulener Salvator. The inside decor could use some updating. The chairs aren't very comfortable. The outside seating is nice but near a busy street. Will definitely go back if I make it to Aruba again!

There are many great restaurants in Aruba. This one is a unique change from the usual menus. The food was authentic and delicious. The staff was friendly. The prices are moderate. We will definitely return to Bavaria on our next trip to
Aruba.

If you love homestyle German cooking, this is the place for you. We had the largest piece of Wienerschnitzel I've ever seen ( Real Veal!!), and the Rindrouladen was tender and full of flavor. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. Peter and his staff work hard to make you feel at home. Definitely worth a visit.

I worked as a chef in different countries and highly recomm. this friendly german restaurant. For the price you pay, there is no restaurant in aruba which can even come close to the quality level of food you get served here. Never had a bad meal here, and i go at least two to three times a week to try different specials on the menu. exper. here.

We were very excited to try this restaurant on our trip to Aruba last week from all the good reviews we read. We came in on a Sunday night, 6 in total with two kids. Overall the food is very good, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. When we were there, the restaurant was half full, but the waiter enthusiastically told us that this was their busiest night ever. I guess thats great for a new place! But the kitchen has to be prepared to deal with that many (and in my opinion, no many at all) customers then. It took forever to place an order (the waiter - only 1!) was running around like a mad man, and it took forever to get our food. We waited an hour before our main courses came out. The food was good, as I said before, but the wait turned us completely off. We might give it one more try next time, but if that doesn't improve, there are so many other restaurants in Aruba with much better service.

We went here several times during our recent vacation in November....and will return again! The food and service is some of the best received on the island. Peter and his team take all measures that the food is of highest quality, and the service is outstanding. The JeagerSchnitzel was prepared perfectly, and the potato pancakes are outstanding!! He has a great selection of German Beers - and also Balshi, wines and a full bar for cocktails available. The location is very much within walking distance from the highrises - and is definitely a MUST TRY.

I have been a fan of Sewasdee Thai Restaurant, owned by the same man. Peter, the owner, is from Germany, and he has out-done himself in the presentation of his native cuisine. We had his Beef Rouladen (name is different on the menu, but that is what it is). We also had some cream of potato soup and cheese soup. Both were superlative, authentically German. The Rouladen was also excellent. Potato dumplings and red cabbage were also very well prepared, delicious, and authentic. My wife and I WILL RETURN to this delightful authentic German restaurant. If you like German food, this restaurant is a "must do" when in Aruba!

We found the food at Bavaria to be authentic German---and excellent! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the menu was very reasonably priced. We had plenty left to take with us and it was delicious for lunch the following day. The potato pancakes are a must!!

this german restaurant is a must on the island of aruba. best prices and german food outside germany. Do not waste your time in overpriced restaurants on the island,if you can get the best for less. gourmet chef for 28 years
