09Spring: Germany_Food

In general, I don't like German food that much except their beer and pastry. We tried some restaurants that are highly recommended by other bloggers, but still not satisfy our stomachs. Therefore, I couldn't compose a list of the best restaurants but a a list of the some restaurants that we tried and give them rating.

Berchtesgaden:
Gasthof Bier Adam **- This one is quite popular among bloggers, but honestly I don't like their food at all. It seems like most guesthouses offer meal package from Bier Adam. You could buy a ticket from your guesthouse at ~23 for a set dinner deal. We didn't buy it coz we don't like set dinner and want to have options. We ordered soup, pork knuckle, grilled lamp and other I couldn't remembered. It was the worst among all other pork knuckles I tried on this trip and other dishes are just okay. Must be you will have luck with this restaurant, but just not us.

One thing we like in Berchtesgaden/Ramsau is the
Flammkuchen (no pic, sorry!) made by Backerei.We tired the garlic Flammkuchen, it was fresh and yummy. They sells their Flammkuchen in the morning market. Also tried these donuts.


Oberammergau:
We went into a pretty crowded restaurant and randomly ordered some dishes. I couldn't remember anything about this dinner. I guess it is not too bad and not too awesome, just fair.


Ettal: Abbey Ettal Beer (****) - This monastery produces traditional Bavarian beer that sold as "Ettaler" brand in shops with "Klosterliqueur" sign. Besides the famous beer, their hard liquors are popular as well. Hard liquor like Brandies and Vodka mixed with local fruits. We tried some beer(dark and amber) at the shops (served in icy mug, cool!) and bought a pack back to our guesthouse. That's the reason why we have a beer and pizza party in Triberg. Awesome!

Triberg:
Cafe Schafer
(****) - Kelvin love their black-forest cake and he think it is the best. To me, I found it tasty too but a bit too creamy for me.


Oh! Don't miss the bakery with a red bar in the window across the street, they have yummy cakes and apple tart. Also, the pizza shop is pretty good. We ordered a thin crust with ham and cheese.



Lindau: There are a few restaurants along the lake shore but not many customers. We opted for a crowded Italian restaurant in the alley of our guesthouse, but it was not that good. I will say the not-so-amazing Olive Garden in US do a better than this. However, there is a local bakery on the same alley that offer tasty breads, sandwiches, and home make jam in the morning.


Rothenberg:
Baumeisterhaus
(***) - We have lunch at this restaurant because we were attracted by the interior
dinning area. We ordered soup and pork knuckle and sausage. Food is decent.


We also tried the donuts shop(**) across the street. It's a crispy pastry ball with different kind of sugar dust powder.


Frankford
:
We tried Asia, American, and German food in Frankford. They are not so good either. This German restaurant is quite popular on the street but the food is just okay. The drink? ar...I think it similar to apple cider or apple wine, but it is not good at all. A dark beer would be a better choice.


We also tried a traditional bakery. They are not bad.
