Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for The Bavarian Alps right now.
Restaurants in Bavaria run the gamut from the casual and gemütlich (cozy) Gasthof to formal gourmet offerings. More upscale establishments try to maintain a feeling of casual familiarity, but you will probably feel more comfortable at the truly upscale restaurants if you dress up a bit. Note that many restaurants take a break between 2:30 and 6 pm. If you want to eat during these hours, look for the magic words Durchgehend warme Küche, indicating warm food is served throughout the day, possibly snacks during the off-hours. Most restaurants in the region don't accept credit cards.
Once part of Tegernsee's Benedictine monastery, then a royal retreat, the Bräustüberl is now an immensely popular beer hall and brewery with tasty Bavarian snacks for under €12. In summer, quaff your beer beneath the huge chestnut trees and admire the delightful view of the lake and mountains.
Near the boat dock on the Herreninsel, home to King Ludwig II's famous palace, is this century-old-hotel-turned-beer garden and light restaurant with gorgeous views over the lake. Portions are large, service is friendly, and desserts are tasty.
