Gries - Mittenwald

We visited this restaurant tonight and had a wonderful time. our waitress was friendly, efficient and welcoming. we enjoyed the cordon bleu schnitzel and the pork filet medaillen, and both meals were excellent. the meal served other guests while we saw there. a man on the table next to us ordered crispy black bone and it saw a complete contrast to what we had recently eaten in the alpenrose on Saturday last. the flesh was tender, fell from the bone and he looked really happy. in this week we will visit the gasthof gries again.

We visited this restaurant this evening and had a wonderful time. Our waitress was friendly, efficient and welcoming. We enjoyed the Cordon Bleu Schnitzel and the Pork Filet Medallions, and both meals were excellent. The meals served to other guests while we were there looked...delicious. A man at the table beside us ordered crispy pork knuckle and it looked a complete contrast to what we had recently eaten in the Alpenrose on Saturday last. The meat was tender, falling off the bone and he looked really happy. We will be visiting the Gasthof Gries again this week.

We enjoyed our lunch here, we found the waitress to be helpful friendly. Menu was traditional Bavarian cuisine. We had a beef vegetable soup with dumplings which the flavours were fairly average, we then had the schnitzel which was quite nice, served with...the Bavarian style sauteed potatoes with bacon....they were delicious (Bratkartoffeln) Be aware credit cards are not accepted here.

We stopped her to order Kaiserschmarrn before our trip home and we were very pleased we did: my friend went as far as to say that it was the best Kaiserschmarrn he'd ever tasted! The views are beautiful and the local bier is served here....I would also recommend the Spinatknödeln which were very good.

So having spent the day at Garmisch we called in at Mittenwald for a quick look around and a bite to eat. Having walked up and down the main street and completed our retail therapy we were not over enthused by the menu's on offer....After days of Austrian/Germanic cuisine my wife was looking for a change and something simple. Egg chips was her inkling and after finding our way to the carved statue of a violin appearing out of a tree trunk we thought we had found her desire at the Gasthof Gries. When we had eventually obtained a menu in English there on the first page was three eggs and potatoes. That was her sorted or so we thought. The service was not outstanding and their ability to converse in English was as poor as our effort to converse in German (both my wife and I did French all those years ago). Anyway it transpired that the menu we were using was old and they no longer offered the dish that my wife wanted. Since we already had drinks in front of us we decided on Holzfallersteak and the universal Wiener Schnitzel. It took a very long time to arrive and in fact it had gone dark outside by the time it arrived and we were both hungry enough to eat a scabby horse. So they have about bench tables outside and on a warm evening it is very pleasant. Also inside looked warm and inviting and so this is also an option. We found the service to be indifferent towards us (and we were not the only table trying to attract the waitresses attention) but the food was good, tasty, plentiful and very reasonably priced. We didn't stay for desert (probably would have arrived with the coffee and buns of breakfast) as we had some Ice cream at the apartment with our name on it. Oh and they only take payment in cash and so ensure you have enough for your meal as credit cards are not an option.
