Ludwig's Breakfast — Restaurant in Vail

This has to be one of the cutest spots I have been for brunch and I mean it whole heartedly . Its an Old World-meets-mountain-modern décor: Bavarian-style carved-wood ceilings, paintings by Austrian and German artists, and sunlight flooding in from a glass atrium. The view from the sun room was gorgeous with the snowcapped trees and the food and service complimented the ambience This place is inside a restaurant so might take a little bit to find a good parking spot but we were fortunate that it was a Sunday and we were able to park out front an establishment that was closed . Diners are greeted with picture-perfect baked goods, fresh fruits, exotic-looking cheeses and meats, and rows of scrumptious pastries .There’s even a whole honeycomb dripping fresh honey into a lovely porcelain dish. Yes, there’s an à la carte menu, but the whole point of dining here is to graze from the sumptuous European-style buffet, a cornucopia of eggs, waffles, blintzes, sausages, cured meats, cheeses, berries, yogurts, breads, preserves, and pastries . Beverages are ordered as per your choice and might cost extra depending on what you ordered . There is a separate Egg counter where you can get the eggs made as per your preference. Service was excellent to say the least and our server took really good care of us without being over bearing . She just magically appeared every time someone wanted to order something. So the pricing is on the higher side and everything including juices etc are additional cost. They also added a service charge which I am not sure was for what however we all paid an additional gratuity individually on top of it. Overall , its pricey but I would definitely recommend them for the amazing...

I had high hopes for this breakfast, but it turned out to be one of the worst experiences. The restaurant is located inside the Sonnenalp Vail hotel. We arrived around 9:30 AM and were greeted by a waitress in Swiss attire, who informed us of a 5-10 minute wait. In reality, we waited over 20 minutes.Since I was excited, this wasn’t a big issue at first. The atmosphere was nice and clean. Despite it being off-season and the restaurant not being busy, the service was incredibly slow. We originally visited to try the SIGNATURE SONNENALP BREAKFAST, but it had been removed from the menu (just for your information). We ordered Hot Chocolate, coffee, EGGS BENEDICT, SWEET BEGINNING, and YOGURT AND GRANOLA. After our drinks arrived, we waited over 40 minutes with no food. What began as excitement quickly turned into frustration, especially since we had other plans. Still, we decided to wait, though our patience was running out.After 40 minutes, a waitress finally informed us they were running out of eggs, which was delaying the Eggs Benedict. She apologized and assured us it would be ready soon. However, we noticed a table that arrived after us was served Eggs Benedict before we were, which was confusing and frustrating. Eventually, our food arrived. If we had known about the delay earlier, we would have left much sooner. The whole breakfast experience was ruined. While I didn’t want to leave a tip, I still left 15%. We spent over $90 on what ended up being a terrible breakfast experience. The food was nothing special, and the service was poor. Don’t go in with high expectations. I certainly won’t...

We stayed at the Hotel Talisa and the concierge there, Christina, recommended we came here for their breakfast buffet. Even though it is slow season ( the end of the ski season as it is Mid April) the Sonnenalp hotel keeps their breakfast buffet operating even during weekdays and until 11am. It is a gorgeous hotel with a pretty restaurant and an amazing buffet. Lots of options from the hearty to the healthy and fit. Beautiful presentation of the buffet with well made dishes with lots of flavor. Service is attentive and welcoming (not stuck up like in many fine dining restaurants). The stoneware dishes are pretty and go well with the decor and style of the hotel and restaurant. They have the name of the hotel imprinted on them. I was lucky enough to be seated on their sunroom, lots of natural light and a nice view of the hotel around. Great...
