2 Best Restaurants in Tanunda, The Barossa Valley

The wood-fired oven at this popular spot has been running continuously since it was first established in 1924, and the fourth-generation owners still use many of the same recipes with slow-fermenting dough that were in vogue then. Bread and sweet and savory pastries start coming out early each morning, and locals are split as to whether the hearty meat pies or the custard-and-cream-filled bienenstich is the better hangover cure.

For a hearty German lunch at a reasonable price, no place in Tanunda beats this small, friendly café and shop. The wurst is fresh from local butchers, the sauerkraut is direct from Germany, and the potato salad is made on-site from a secret recipe.
