Naschmarkt Restaurant in Campbell, California, is a culinary treasure that brings the flavors of Austria and Europe to the heart of the Bay Area. This charming eatery provides a warm, inviting atmosphere and exceptional service, making it a delightful spot for any dining occasion.

During our visit, we enjoyed a variety of dishes that showcased the restaurant’s expertise in European cuisine.

The Mushroom Soup was rich and velvety, with deep, earthy flavors that were both comforting and indulgent. It was a perfect starter, warming us up and setting the stage for the rest of our meal.

The Goat Cheese Purse Salad was a fresh and flavorful start to our meal. The warm goat cheese, wrapped in delicate pastry, complemented the crisp greens and light vinaigrette beautifully, offering a harmonious blend of creamy, tangy, and crunchy elements.

The Pretzel, served warm with a delicious cheese sauce, was a delightful addition. The pretzel was soft and perfectly salted, and the creamy cheese sauce provided a wonderful savory dip that made this simple appetizer feel special.

The Jäger Schnitzel was another highlight. This dish featured a perfectly breaded pork cutlet topped with a savory mushroom sauce that was rich and earthy. The schnitzel was cooked to golden perfection, with a crisp exterior and tender interior, making every bite a pleasure.

The Spätzle paired with Beef Goulash was a standout. The beef, cooked to tender perfection, was immersed in a rich and flavorful goulash sauce that was both hearty and comforting. The spätzle, soft and perfectly textured, served as an excellent accompaniment, soaking up the delicious sauce and adding a delightful chewiness to the dish.

For dessert, the Salzburger Nockrl was exceptional. Served warm with and fluffy vanilla souffle with blueberry compote. It was a perfect end to our meal. The accompanying vanilla ice cream added a creamy contrast, enhancing the overall experience and leaving us thoroughly satisfied.

In summary, Naschmarkt Restaurant offers an outstanding dining experience with its exquisite Austrian and European dishes, cozy ambiance, and excellent service. Each dish is crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring a memorable meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Europe in...

I cannot begin to explain the personal disappoint I had in this restaraunt. If you want authentic Austrian or German food, go to Teske's Germania. For over $200 I expected something at least worth the value I spent, if not better. The wine list was extensive and impressive. The supposed manager/owner was attentive to guests needs, which was nice to see - and hence the 2 stars versus 1. The service staff were decent. The food however... was absolutely awful minus the Austrian cold cuts. That consisted of two cold cuts and a variety of mousses. That in itself was in line with the Austrian cuisine. It was tasty, although I would recommend two different serving sizes. One serving for two people, and the other for four plus people. The crisps it came with were thin, crunchy, baked pretzel pieces, which would be on theme for "new" Austria. However... there is no such thing as "new Austria." Regardless, it was way too much food for two people. They had items on the menu that were not German, Austrian or anything within that area, but I understand the need to appeal to Americans. With that being said, the schnitzel was the worst I have EVER had, and Austrian food is my favorite cuisine. I have visited both Austria and Germany many times - my Oma immigrated to the United States from Austria during WW2. The schnitzel was tender, but the flavor was not on par. Austrian and German food tend to not be the most flavorful of cuisines, which would, in my opinion, be pretty hard to mess up... Yet, it was easy for this restaraunt. The lingonberry sauce was much too sweet - it should have been tart. The potato salad was not Austrian in any sense. There was no tang, no brininess, and no mustard profile. It tasted cake-y, which I have never experienced before in a potato and it was also cold. Austrian potato salads are WARM. Don't even get me started on the dessert... The "special" they recommended was a hard as a rock, meringue with pistachios. Just plain weird... They didn't have linzertorte or sachertorte, which I fully expected. Additionally, the artwork on the walls were artichokes and balsamic vinegar. Random, but what does this have to do with Austria? I will never go back to this restaurant, nor recommend it to anyone whatsoever. My Oma would be even more...

I'm not gonna lie to you the words "I'm in the mood for some Austrian food" never really comes up in conversation with me. Luckily a close friend of mine uttered those words. Not knowing where to begin to look, I was lead to one of the best places in California and no I am not talking about Disneyland! A true blend of Austrian/German food all under one roof. If you haven't been to Naschmarkt Restaurant yet put it on your bucket list or at least in your bookmarks! It's just one of those places you don't want to miss out on.

I read some reviews that you should make a reservation but we ended up coming in spur of the moment and were fortunate enough to grab a seat. Scanning the menu I noticed they were true to Austrian specialties such as Wiener schnitzel and Hungarian Beef Goulash. Their dishes definitely have Austrian influences but with an American flair to it.

Contemplating on what to get because I was tempted to order everything they had, I eventually ordered the Quark Spätzle ($15) and Pork Belly ($29). I cannot rave enough about the Quark Spätzle it was definitely delicious! Made with quark, a cheese similar to cottage cheese. The pasta was tender tossed with a touch of cream, mushrooms, corn and smoked chicken. What makes the Quark Spätzle so tantalizing is probably the smoked chicken. The chicken had a really good texture and a lot of flavor and you can taste the butter but nothing was too overpowering. Everything went nicely together.

I didn't think the Pork Belly could outshine the awesomeness of the Spätzle but I was wrong! The Double Cooked Pork Belly comes with celery root puree, shaved leeks and a pork au jus. It was tasty and likely melted in your mouth if you'd let it! If you're counting calories this probably shouldn't be on your list.

Service was absolutely unbelievable. I can not say enough good things. Our waiter came to our table several times to see how we were doing and making sure everything was OK. Naschmarkt is one of the best restaurants to open in Silicon Valley and if your only into what's trending or the flavor of at the moment trust me Naschmarkt will never go...
