Gasthof Bauer in Feldkirchen Following a tip from our friend Markus (many thanks for the great tip!), we recently drove to Feldkirchen and treated ourselves to a culinary experience at the Hotel/Gasthof Bauer. The restaurant is located in the hotel of the same name, "Bauer," not far from Munich-Riem, yet in a rural setting where you feel a bit "out in nature" and can enjoy the fresh country air. We entered and immediately felt at home in the very Bavarian-style restaurant/inn, with its many decorative touches, numerous outdoor seating areas, cozy tables shaded by huge umbrellas, lots of antique furniture, and many charming details. Right after we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly (and consistently professional) waiter—the same one who had taken my reservation by phone and assured me that we would be able to get a table, even at short notice, as was the case with our visit.
Upon entering, we were asked whether we preferred to eat in the enormous, very traditional Bavarian dining room or in the conservatory, which was clearly a later addition and didn't immediately reveal its Bavarian roots. I opted for the conservatory, as it was completely enclosed in glass, making it much more inviting and brighter, and a separate glass door also provided access to additional outdoor seating. The huge dining area inside the hotel, furnished with lots of light wood and numerous wooden tables, had no windows and a rather "griabig" (for non-Bavarians: rustic and cozy) atmosphere. The attentive waiter even moved our table for two slightly away from the neighboring table, giving us more privacy. The conservatory only had about seven tables anyway, which were sometimes fully occupied.
The menus arrived quickly, and we were immediately asked for our drink orders. We couldn't quite decide, but then opted for two Lugana (0.2l for €6 each) and a 0.7l bottle of Evian water for €6.20. I know it's becoming more common these days, but it still strikes me as odd when water is more expensive than wine or a more elaborate drink. Anyway… As for the food, we couldn't really decide either. Should we have the fish platter, pasta, asparagus risotto, crispy schnitzel, Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle), one of the numerous asparagus dishes, or perhaps Wiener Schnitzel, Zwiebelrostbraten (roast beef with onions), or steak? After some deliberation, we decided on a salad with goat cheese medallions as a starter to share, the premium fish platter for my companion (€21.90), and the asparagus for myself. The server was kind enough to suggest a mixture of green and white asparagus, prepared au gratin. I accepted the offer and was very pleased. Unfortunately, two of the green asparagus spears were a bit too firm – otherwise, it was a very delicious dish. This dish wasn't on the menu and ultimately cost €14.80. You can see the portion size in the photo – not cheap, but acceptable. My companion's fish platter was very tasty, consisting of various types of fish: sea bass, salmon, pike-perch, and shrimp, served with potato gratin. For dessert, we chose rhubarb cake for €3.50. It was still nice and warm. My companion wasn't particularly impressed with the taste, but I enjoyed it quite a bit – partly because I'm a big rhubarb fan. However, the price was definitely on the high side, especially considering the quantity. We paid €75 including tip, but we also left a €7 tip because we were so pleased with the service. I also tasted the fish – it was delicate in flavor and deliciously presented. As mentioned, the asparagus was a bit too firm and could have been improved.
The inn consists of many different rooms, including a large room with just one table that seats up to about 25 people. The inn definitely impresses with its good food, excellent service – our server was also very funny and joked with us while we ordered and paid – a cozy atmosphere, and a somewhat rural character in a quiet setting. I would definitely recommend the restaurant for a quieter meal, whether for a couple, family, or business clients. It's less suitable for a group of younger people to hang out in, as it's a bit too upscale and not exactly cheap. However, it's ideal for a relaxed meal for two. Menu It offers a good mix of Bavarian dishes, and vegetarian guests won't go home hungry either. 🙂 The restaurant's outdoor seating area – located in the hotel's courtyard, so to speak – is very cozy and a lovely spot to relax when the sun is shining.
The inn is open daily from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm and from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm, serving hot meals. A smaller menu with a slightly limited selection is available daily from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Additionally, "Bauer's Gourmet Menu" is offered for €38 per person. Current menu items include, for example, asparagus salad with scallops and king prawns, and veal cutlet with grilled vegetables.
and creamy polenta, followed by gratinated limoncello parfait on strawberry and mint salad for dessert. Certainly delicious if you have a bigger appetite and some time to spare. A daily changing specials menu is also available. It's best to take a look at the menus yourself. From Monday to Saturday, Gasthof Bauer also offers lunch menus – usually consisting of a soup of the day and a delicious main course for €9.50 each.
If you ever find yourself in that area, or perhaps you've just been shopping at the Riem Arcaden in Munich, have a car, and are hungry: Gasthof Bauer, located in the hotel of the same name, is the place to go. Enjoy!
I'll be back: Yes, maybe again to eat in the restaurant in the evening. No, for the beer garden that belongs to Fischer's. But there's a larger Augustiner beer garden right next door.
