Restaurant Ludwigs — Restaurant in Füssen

Summary. On-par with most other tourist-based Bavarian restaurants. Glad we went, but would try elsewhere for variety than return.

Food. Typical Bavarian ready for tourists. Nice and each dish tasted uniquely different. Would be 4/5 but let down by the pork knuckle. Leberknoedel soup, sauerbraten, and Jager schnitzel were good (albeit Jager sauce was very creamy vs richer examples experienced). Pork knuckle was disappointing as the crackling was soggy and chewy - nothing crackling. In all, very large servings keeping with German hospitality! House wines were approachable.

Service. Prompt, and quick food delivery. Would have preferred to wait to ensure crackling was indeed crackling. Provided takeaway containers without charge. Included a €2.50 pp service charge (or approximated 10%) of the bill.

Atmosphere. Very modern and plain restaurant style. Functional, but would be tight in busy / peak periods. American 'classics' playing on the stereo. Whilst this appeared all too common across tourist areas of France, Italy, Austria, and Germany, for an Aussie seeking to 'get away' it begins to become intrusive on the romance of candlelit tables and the investment of a families...

Disappointing service. We were there on 24 Dec 21 for dinner, base on the recommendation of our hotel manager we made reservation for 7pm. When we arrived table was not ready, correct settings were not set, drink spillage from previous guest was not cleaned up. We did not mind waiting, we reminded a few times while waiting, they reluctantly set up the correct settings after a long while, but just refused to clean up the spillage. Food was average, steak came out incorrectly cook to the doneness we ordered and had a tinge of detergent taste, so we felt it was contaminated. We fed this back to the waiter, who took the steak back to the kitchen. Later he came back out and started arguing and insisting the steak was good and wanted us to pay for it. We responded by letting him know it was up to him to decide if he wanted to bill us, but if he decide to bill us he needs to return the piece of contaminated steak to us and we like to take it away with us. After many minutes, he came back out and said the steak was already trashed and he will not bill us. A very suspicious behaviour. We were the only Asian customer that evening, we felt the service was...

I learned about Restaurant Ludwigs from Google review and Yelp. When I saw they have apple strudel with vanilla sauce, I convinced my husband we should go.

It was kind of a warm day so we opted to sit inside. We were famished after a whole day of castle hopping (we visited Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau Castle) so we were ready to eat. I’ve never had cordon bleu made with pork before and I must say it’s the best one I’ve had. My husband ordered vegan ravioli which he also enjoyed.

For dessert, we each got an apfelstrudel mit Vanillesoße. It was alright - definitely not comparable to Vienna’s.

Our waiter (we didn’t get his name but I think he manages the place) was awesome. He made us comfortable and checked in just like someone would when someone’s visiting his house. We truly appreciated his genuine hospitality.

Our bill was about €60 which was certainly not bad for...
