The Bavaria Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Sidney

My wife and I were looking for someplace for dinner tonight. Usually we head into Norwich or Binghamton. By happenstance we went into Sidney, NY and came across "The Bavaria". Not sure what to expect, we decided to try it out. I have not had good German food since my German Grandma in Queens NY made it for me as a kid. I thought nothing could be as good as my Grandmother's.....I was wrong...no offense Grandma, but the food here was authentic and delicious. The service was great and very friendly. I truly enjoyed talking with the owner and her daughter, and was happy to tell them how wonderful their restaurant is. I am a Foodie, and have been cooking since I was 7 and am now 63. When I say this food was excellent, I mean it. It is so difficult to find an authentic German restaurant in upstate NY. I am so glad that this one is only a short distance from me. I can't remember the dish I had, but it was excellent. The breaded pork was done perfectly, the red cabbage had just the right amount of sour, and the Spatzele was melt in your mouth . The Black Forest Cake for desert, was pure heaven with real kirsch soaked cherry filling , delicious chocolate cake with a delectable whipped cream frosting. We will definitely be back there soon. I highly recomend " The Bavaria". Very reasonably priced for the amount and quality of food. A...

First time at this restaurant, very clean and quaint tad bit warm inside. We were greeted and seated within a few minutes , cold drinks were served. To start off we ordered a app which was Brie cheese/cream cheese with pretzels. For the main course I had Jaeger Schnitzel with potato dumpling and red cabbage The pork was breaded a little dry but was tasty with the mushroom gravy on top, dumpling and red cabbage was very good. Wife had Schweinelende MIT Pilzrahm with potato dumpling and red cabbage also. Her pork was not breaded, very tender and tasty. For dessert we ordered apple strudel and cheese cake with a hint of lemon both very good. Nice atmosphere and service,price is average for the quantity and quality of the food you receive. We will be back in the near future. Rated 4 stars because of the interior temperature of the dining...

I can't say enough good things about our experience there. The food was impeccably prepared and the mother/daughter dynamic duo there are completely lovely in every way. Had potato pancakes for an appetizer then we had pork medallions and a marinated roast beef (I'm sorry I didn't memorize the German names...at least not tonight). Everything was tasty but my favorite was the pork and the little "droplets of pasta" as the younger one so aptly put it.

We were the only diners there because of blizzard conditions, so we all hung out after dinner to commiserate about life in the country and animals and many other topics. Pricing is totally fair so if you'd like a change from the relentlessly bland country stuff in the area, stop by! Be sure to check the hours carefully, it's definitely a mom and pop operation but very...
