Menu-At-a-Glance
Feeling thirsty? What better way to unwind after a day of hiking than by indulging in a fresh draft beer. The Gasthaus Restaurant offers an extensive beer and wine list featuring Warsteiner Dunkel and Lager, Oktoberfest beers, Hefenweizen, Radler (beer & lemonade or Sprite), Bourgogne Blanc, Burgandy, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and so much more.
A drink is sure to get your appetite going. Once your stomach starts to growl, you might consider beginning your meal with traditional German favorites like potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce, a pretzel and sausage, an assorted cheese and sausage plate, Wurtsalat, or crab cakes. You could also go with a spicy Hungarian Goulash - a favorite of the restaurant's.
If you're watching your weight or prefer to eat on the lighter side, you might choose to stick with a house, Greek, or Caesar salad, with grilled chicken or shrimp.
Heartier appetites need not fear, however. There are plenty of filling, scrumptious, and extremely popular German main dishes to choose from. Schnitzels are often ordered and devoured by guests. Pork eaters will adore Wiener Schnitzel or Holstein Schnitzel which is weiner schnitzel with Espagnole sauce and a fried egg. Chicken schnitzel is another great option. Not sure which you'd like best? Ask about the sampler plate which will offer you a trio of your choosing.
Beyond Schnitzel, consider taking a taste of the restaurant's incredible beef stroganoff, goulash, or Rouladen (thinly sliced beef that has been wrapped around bacon, onion, and pickle). You might also enjoy the Black Forest Plate which offers Bratwurst and Knockwurst Sausage, or the Butcher's plate with smoked pork chop and a choice of 2 brats or Knockwurst or Debrizina sausages.
Pasta lovers, on the other hand, may choose to go with Spatzle egg noodles with black forest ham and mushrooms, topped with melted Swiss cheese.
You won't regret saving room for dessert. Chocolate lovers will adore German chocolate cake, Black Forest Cake, or the Cream Cheese Brownie. If you're not a chocolate fan, you'll go gaga for the restaurant's homemade apple strudel, raspberry ganache cake, or creme brulee.
