3 Best Restaurants in Mittenwald, The Bavarian Alps

With a prime location on Obermarkt, this is Mittenwald's best konditorei und kaffeehaus (patisserie and coffee shop), as evidenced by the rarely unoccupied sidewalk tables and the slowly creeping queue of locals and visitors. The elegant, bread-heavy window display is enough to tempt you in, but it's the cake displays inside—coupled with the aroma of freshly brewing coffee—that will guarantee you stay a while.

Once part of a monastery and later adorned with one of the town's most beautiful painted baroque facades, the Alpenrose features traditional Bavarian fare and is famous for featuring venison dishes the entire month of October. A sidewalk terrace is open on sunny days; a zither player strums away most evenings in the Josefi wine cellar.

This historic white house with brilliant blue shutters has a beer garden and a small playground that's perfect for families. Locals love this dining room and its meat-heavy Bavarian cuisine, with produce sourced from local farmers, butchers, and fishmongers. Try the Bauernschmaus, a traditional feast comprised of steaming sauerkraut topped with sausages and liver dumplings. You'll probably feel like a nap after all that, so consider booking into one of the minimalist Bavarian-style bedrooms, complete with soft featherbeds and extensive wood paneling.
