"We visited the Café, with its magnificent view, the second weekend it was open. Sure it was a little bit crowded and the stuff was super busy but very friendly as well! We had a great pasta dish and the burger was also very delicious."

"The food was good and the location is really nice in my opinion. Of course the prices are a bit high but considering the location and the high amount of tourists you can expect it. In general we had a good experience"

"I had a surprisingly excellent pork belly sandwich which was delicious with superb crackling. Add in great beer, excellent toilets, wonderful views and reasonable prices this makes it one of my fav tourist style eateries. P.s. the WCs are kind of hidden at the back of the building behind the kiosk... everyone queues for the front ones!"

"We found the restaurant is very good. A young lady served us with enthusiastic. We ordered 2 main dishes, one soup, one coffee, a glass of wine and one desert. All of them are very good especially the soup. The price is reasonable. We didn't meet the old waiter so no idea about the other old waiter's attitude. All the staffs we met were very nice. A very good restaurant in that region."

"I was prepared to dislike this place when I looked at the prices and saw how staff were hustling tourists to every available space. But if you don't mind a little bit of a rush and the markup associated with a tourist magnet like Neuschwanstein Castle, this is a good place for a Strudel or even a full meal. Portions are fine, the food itself is surprisingly good, staff are efficient and the view onto the Alpsee lake is stunning. There are kids options not mentioned on the menu (e.g. Schnitzel), so if you're traveling with children just ask the staff."
