"I don't usually do reviews but the service that we received today, mainly me, was terrible. We decided to go to the Zugspitze today while we have stayed for a week in Germany. After waiting for a while, which is ok because it was crowded, we were seated and gave our order to Franzi. She was absolutely terrible. We ordered brats and pretzels, goulash, salad, beer, and water. Everything came except for the salad, which was mine. I happened to catch Franzi as she was clearing a table and asked her about the salad, thinking maybe it was forgotten because it was busy and things like that happen. She snapped at me, 'you're not the only person here, look around, you're not the only one I'm waiting on,' and walked off. I was absolutely humiliated because this was said very loudly and in front of the table next to us. She came back, dropped the salad off and stormed off again. Yes. She was busy. Yes, I realize that. But I also realize that I ordered a salad and not a complicated meal. She came by our table only when she HAD to and never to see if we may have needed anything. However, the German table next to us was waited on quite well and she often stopped by ensuring that they were taken care of well. What made me feel slightly better was how absolutely rude she was to the table of Americans that sat down across from us as we were finishing up. She was speaking with the couple next to those Americans and the American man spoke up and said, 'Hello,' in a conversational way, to which she responded, 'You wait your turn, it is not your turn.' While I understand that people have bad days or get flustered when they are busy, that is absolutely no way to treat customers. Period. The ONLY reason this has two stars is because Andrey was absolutely phenomenal and one of THE nicest people I have met since I have been here."

Had a quick visit to get some tea/coffee and enjoy the view. The place is very welcoming and well-maintained.

Our food here was potato fries, margarita pizza and hot cocoa. The service here is average due to the large number of patrons at the mountain top.

We ordered pork steak and goulash with glühwein and hot chocolate. I must say all of them were beyond my expectation. Reasonable price for such hearty portion and delicacy.

The food is perfect, with the soup served with a note of enjoyment. Saved that for my book. The tables were limited, but we got a good table before the place filled up. But then people started to leave & others had a place to sit at. so the turn over seemed to be timed perfectly.

The food is cafeteria style, the selection is decent. The soups were quite good, the apple strudel with vanilla sauce is fantastic. Large beer selection, deserts, coffee, tea. Prices are better than you would expect from a ski hill. Inside seating is warm and inviting, outside seating has spectacular views.

This self-service restaurant is located next to the souvenir shop at the Glacier, which you can see after getting off the Zugspitze train. The potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) was good and the meat loaf (Leberkaese) was ok. By the time of visit, it was quite crowded inside as many were taking shelter from the snow. The biergarten was closed at that time.

The view here is of course outstanding, and therefore worth the visit, regardless of what you actually eat. However, I was expecting mediocre food and everything else that goes along with such tourist traps, but was very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is well presented, and our meals were delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. A great place to enjoy lunch.

Open all year, this restaurant, located in the basin created by the Zugspitz glacier (almost gone now), offers great choices of local food & drink. It's all self-service and you can enjoy your meal in the sunshine on the hugh terrace. The local favorite "Weisswurst" is available as well as very tasty chicken wings. And a well stocked salad bar rounds out the service too. The staff is always efficient, friendly, and very helpful. Most impressive however, is the view you have from the terrace over the surrounding mountain ranges. After your meal, grab one of the many lawn chairs available free-of-charge and relax in the sun!

As expected the prices are bit steep up there and the food quite mediocre, not bad though.Nice wooden interior. Tables with the view? - no chance, always crowdy, unless you have time to wait for someone to leave and they do not hurry. Wiener schnitzel was nice and from veal as suppose to be and not pork, which served in many places. Apple strudel is weak, probably worst out of many I have tasted in Bavaria. The worst part is a tea - I was too late to realize not to order a tea in Bavaria. Coffee was better, but they drink only beer and it's a top notch. No matter if you are on snowy mountain peak or at the hell's kitchen - do drink only cold beer, you will feel better!

"The title “Lifestyle Restaurant” that offers a huge amount of interpretation space seems to be high in the course of Garmisch Partenkirchen, in addition to the recently-reviewed “4Eck” also boasts the “Bungalow 7” of this stretchable attribute on its website. Lifestyle, tja, if you want to, every restaurant is a “lifestyle restaurant” or? Whether the Pommesbude or the Three Stars Temple, everything is finally expression of life type and preferences, across all kitchens and purses, I therefore find the term inconceivable hollow, nothing-giving and superfluous. But that was not the reason why we were staying in the evening of our arrival instead of in the “Lifestyle Location” illuminated here – Obacht’s actual plan – rather Bajuwarian way of life in my beloved Bräustüberl, the anticipation of pancake soup Co. was simply too great. But the next noon, after a first stroll through the place, we should land more or less randomly here, which should certainly be a pleasure for further visits and we should also do so on the following Sunday – so today there is a criticism of two visits. But the day should start very happy, it was my birthday and in the breakfast room there was a lovingly decorated table waiting for me, and I was also covered with a delicious pastries of an excellent local confectionery that reminds me of the legendary Kosaken ridge – the lovingly guided small hotels live in family hands! The Kosakenzipfel : The rich breakfast and the not even light confectioner's work were a good basis for the day, but after the mentioned bumblebee, the famous "small hunger" should be reported at about 2 p.m. 1. Visit outside view The bungalow7 was there in the immediate vicinity, made an inviting impression from outside, the map was pleased, short-closed we entered and found a quiet corner table. What looks from the outside gives a quite harmonious look with the contemporary outdoor furniture and the inviting glass front, sometimes seems skurril on the inside when viewed closer. The tile floor breathes 80's basement bar Flair, as well as some tables and their wooden separators, the bar could also stand in a Fake Hafenkneipe for English tourists in Benidorm, the ceiling shouts alpine hutsgaudi, so no question that makes a prominently placed flag of New Zealand in this eclectic ensemble ultimative sense. Gastraum Bar While I have already formulated this in mind, a friendly voice ripped me out of my latent amused ambience thoughts, a friendly ca. 30 year old service lady greeted us cordially and handed the cards. In addition to her, there was also a casually dressed, not less friendly young man at the beginning of 20, who was supposed to be very pleasant later. The uncomplicated, manageable map allowed the hope to grow, which one does not cook here from the great bucket, the predicate “homemade” can be found not only on an offer. Note the FAQs: The offer itself is a safe, a handful of pleasant burgers, some quite creative flame-cake variants, a small salad kit, a touch of BBQ Americana in the form of Babyback Ribs and Buffalo Drumsticks, an unavoidable Apple Pie in Dessert – in well made tasty everyday kitchen with Soul Food Potential. At the first day visit, we were only after a small snack, Madame chose a flashcake, I jumped the Buffalo drumsticks, with two specifics, friendly chatting one accepted our manageable order. I was surprised that in the home country of the “Spezi” one did not have the original in the offer, but rather rely on the much less charming product of the global shower giant from Atlanta, which served soft drink with ice and lemon (0.3l for 3,20€ each, but also fulfilled its purpose. After about 20 minutes, I was served, looking at the flame cake visually as a rather disappointing one, but my chicken slugs shined me promisingly and flowed away extremely appealing fragrances. Flamecake “Classic” in small, 6.40€ Flamecake “Classic” small My accompaniment praised her flax, sour cream and South Tyrolean bacon, however, after the first bite and seemed to be very happy. I tried a big piece a little later, because she didn't make it and could well understand the satisfaction despite the pale look: The crunchy soil in an ideal thickness, the Sour Cream tastes delicious, the almost too generously dimensioned bacon from Alto Adige of excellent quality would have tolerated a very tasty matter that might have been left in the oven for a few seconds. My Buffalo drumsticks are known classically rather than Buffalo Wings, i.e. wings instead of bollen, a very popular classic in the USA that you get in any sports bar or bowling hall. “Original Buffalo Style Chicken Drumsticks” – 7,90€ Original Buffalo Style Chicken Drumsticks” The previously seasoned wings are fried and then swung into Buffalo sauce, a edgy and cayenne-loaded sauce with a high butter content. To this end, you usually have a blue cheese Dipp with celery and carrot sticks as well as more or less sharp sauces for the wings – all in all a very happy sourry from the category “bier- accompanying dishes”. Personally, the chicken legs had been a bit too big, I would have taken either smaller lower legs or classic wings, they can be eaten much better and the ratio of sauce to meat per bite is more harmonious, not to mention the dipping itself. A first try nevertheless thrilled, I have never eaten such authentic Buffalo sauce so far in this country, you trust the German palate in terms of vinegar and cayenne just don’t want to be too good or don’t know better, usually it goes in the direction “piedge BBQ sauce”. Speaking of which: From curiosity, I had ordered the homemade “Smoky BBQ Sauce” for a Euro supplement and was quite impressed, beautiful balance of sweet, sour and salty with light Hickory note, which goes much worse but also better, upper middle class in the BBQ Saucen universe. Also very successful was the blue cheese Dipp, absolutely homemade with real small chunks, thereby firm and piecey in the texture, a small, slightly cooled charity. Unfortunately, the only conditional edible for me (I finally did the drumsticks in a frevel manner because the raw food, which actually belongs to it, did not consist of carrots and celery but of cucumbers – kreisch, I hate cucumbers. Nevertheless, I was happy that I had not expected this and why I let the nice young waiter know during the cleansing; he was very interested and promised to pass on to the kitchen. Whether and how criticism is passed on is sometimes very questionable, but here I was randomly witnessing this passing when I returned from the – remarkably clean – toilet in the basement, where I was wearing war marks after the finger food battle (self-equivocally my bright pants carried away fighting marks.... wash your hands. The way led past the kitchen, the door half open: waiter: “Gast was very satisfied, the Buffalo Sauce praised very much, but he didn’t expect any cucumbers to come in USA always carrots and celery.” Koch: “Yes, too, but we had...” (Rest went down in the kitchen noise and I didn’t want to listen... Maybe the sentence ended with “grade no longer there!” you don’t know, at least I was happy to share feedback here, that was nice. Satisfactions we paid cash and devoted ourselves more sweetheart, here I would like to go again, so much was fixed. 2. Visit At the second time, we have also been given the honour of being at the table with her clique for decades with Mrs and Mr. Obacht's Sunday dinner that has been maintained for decades. It was a wonderful, lukewarm summer evening after a hot day, in the late afternoon I still enjoyed in the – surprisingly little visited Alpspitzbad, we made our way to the restaurant, which was extremely well visited – only good that we had reserved a large table in the garden. The mood in that is great at such an evening, the audience was pleasant and well-maintained, the lighting is ideal, the music selection tastefully and unobtrusive. At first the drinks, a well-cooled Corona at 4,40€, as well as a large Rhabarber choir (0,4l at 3,50€ soon found their way to the table, a prosite in the nice round and already the dishes could be ordered. The Lords from Obacht's Sunday gang were mostly talking to burgers, who had already been fed to the satisfaction of the Öfteren. Unfortunately I have no photo of those, but in fact they made a very good, appetizing impression, the brioche shined with the meat around the bet, it smelled heavenly. Light “sapple” Roughing at the table while serving my little baby-sized “Baby Back Spareribs” (Full Rack – 18,90€ Garlic Parmesan Fries 1,50€ “Baby Back Ribs” (Full Rack The cut also known as Loin Ribs, along with Brisket and Pulled Pork, is part of the Holy Trinity of the South States BBQs and I love to be far ahead of St. The fact that the bones were so wide is always a good sign in Ribs, in the map they are cooked low slow, although on demand unfortunately not in the Smoker but at least no turbo number in the combined yarn. The meat was almost sucked from the bone, but still had a pleasant bite, the homemade BBQ sauce I already knew from the first visit and also here it fits well, a delicious dish that of course my white shirt (memo to myself: ingenious selection. Don't. should not leave unharmed. The decent Bavarian Pigderl literally had a lot on the ribs, I managed to get the string only to 80%, only good that Mr. Obacht hastened to support himself! Well, for the weakening, the sensational good supplement that I ordered as an extra wish with Buffalo Sauce could also be responsible. This is not in the card as a Dipp, but this wish is very much fulfilled. Garlic Parmesan Fries The rustic Pommes frites were at least fritted twice, were crispy and had a good, honest flavor in potato. To this end, a lush cargo of Parmesan and some garlic, once swing through and let the cheese melt: Et voilà, finished is the Umami Uppercut, delicious. This sinful supplement was charged at a surcharge of 1.50€, solo they come to 5,90€, which I think they are also worth. Casesar Salat Chicken – 10,90€ Caesar Salad Chicken Madame decided once again for a Caesar Salad, this time with chicken, and was also highly satisfied. The Romana taufresh, the sauce managed to taste, the meat aromatic and dust-free while cutting everything fine, with I prefer to have the cheese finely chopped than rubbed with this salad. The salad then gave her space for a “light” dessert – in contrast to the author, who was prosperous at that time: Banana Split in the glass – 4,90€ Banana Split in the glass A likewise little bit of a sweet, layered matter: banana ice, over it chocolate, cream and cherry compote. No star hour of the patisserie, but very purposeful for the fulfillment of Archaic Dessert Gelüste. Obacht enjoyed dessert on a “Caramel Apple Pie” with vanilla ice cream and cream and I was allowed to taste. Seufz, I was very annoyed to have no place for those, absolutely delicious, envious I looked right now. Since the temperatures should remain pleasantly mild, we kept it out until after 23:00, it was laughed a lot, a gentleman from Obachts Clicque entertained the half beer garden with swanks from his life thanks to his quite loud voice, a wonderful evening went to the end, and we comforted, uh better “rolling” happily back to our holiday Domizil. Conclusion Lifestyle back or forth, here is cultivated and honestly cooked with good ingredients from the region. Those who get kulinarically clear with these somewhat clingy offers and a casual location for a nice round with friends will be happy here. I give to the kitchen 4.5 stars, small things like the optically somewhat pale flame cake or the cucumbers to the Wings, pardon, “Drumsticks”, are not worth a full star draw. I see the service at four stars, absolute No Go was the card payment, but I can't charge the service. Instead of a reasonable EC terminal of Ingenico and Co. one of these cheap toys of Sumup. There were constantly problems with the app, the associated phone only had to be picked up at the counter, it took minutes per payment. The ambience in total four stars, the evening in the garden was wonderful in this respect, slightly scurry style mix in the guest room, nevertheless quite comfortable, cleanliness impeccable, also in the toilets. At the price performance ratio I am at a good one, and thus at four stars, especially given the tourism Hot Spots GAP, the bids were worth all honor at these prices. I can recommend the bungalow 7 to all culinaryly compatible contemporaries and will also like to come back when it comes to next year."
