Bavaria — Restaurant in Aruba

Okay…. I am re-reviewing Bavaria, the German restaurant on Aruba. As for my love of this restaurant, its owners, their amazing Chef Miriam, and their incredible food, nothing has changed. So everything you will read below still holds true.

Bavaria is my number one favorite restaurant on Aruba. The one thing I did forget to mention on my earlier review, is the delicious Apple Strudel with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. All I can say is, worry about the calorie count and the vacation weight you’ve gained when you return home. Now is not the time. Just enjoy all this deliciousness!!!

Now, what follows is my original review.

We love everything about Bavaria — their food is incredible and 100% authentic. The owners are all family and the most genuinely nice and good people. We just think the world of them. My husband and I spend more than six weeks each year here on Aruba; and I must say, Bavaria is our most frequented restaurant.

Their liver dumpling soup, weisswurst, Jagerschnitzel, potato pancakes, and sauerkraut are the BEST I’ve ever had. It’s so hard for me to choose …. So I just order them all and stuff myself. And then I still have to have their apple strudel. Everything is just so great!

Oh, I almost forgot about their pork knuckle — it’s huge, but oh so good! I’m getting hungry just typing this review.

You can start worrying about calories AFTER you return home...

My son and I were greeted promptly by the owner!! We had an excellent experience!! If I could give Bavaria German Restaurant more than 10 stars, I absolutely would! This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Aruba. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home.

The food? Absolutely outstanding! We ordered an incredible spread—assorted sausages, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce, sauerbraten, spätzle, and red cabbage—and every bite was perfection. The sausages were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the sauerbraten was tender and rich, and the homemade spätzle was the perfect complement. The potato pancakes were crispy on the outside and soft inside, and pairing them with apple sauce was a game changer.

On top of the amazing food, the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Bavaria is a must-visit for anyone in Aruba looking for authentic German cuisine with top-notch hospitality. We will...

This was my first time visiting Bavaria and I only dranks some dark beers this evening. My first beer this evening was the Erdinger which is a flavourful dark wheat beer. The second beer that I drank was the Köstritzer which is very light tasting and refreshing (I would suggest to start with this one first if you wish to try the other dark beers). The third beer that I drank was the Aventinus Eisbock which was very flavourful. Wine drinkers would like this beer since it has notes of figs and berries which makes you think of port wine(sip it right after opening to experience the taste and then take small sips while warms up a little to room temperature, that way the fruity notes will be more noticable). This one is was the strongest one with 12% alcohol by volume. The last beer that I drank is the Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen which tasted very smokey! Is was strange and delicious and you can feel as if someone is making BBQ nearby if you smell inside of your glass after drinking the beer. I will definitely...
