Gries - Mittenwald

Warmly welcome, serve local forest pilgert at the entrance. had to begin the french zwiebel suppe, very good, followed by black medallions, perfectly cooked.

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 enjoyed our lunch here, we found the waitress to be helpful. menu was traditional Bavarian cuisine. we had a beef-plant soup with crunch, which were quite averaged by the aromen, then we had served the carving that was pretty. the Bavarian style sauteed kartoffeln with speck. they were delicious (bread potatoes) note that credit cards are not accepted here. recommended

We stopped ordering them imperially before our trip to the house, and we were very glad that we did it: my friend went so far that it was the best imperial marrn he had ever tasted! the view is beautiful and the local beer is served here. I would also recommend the spinach dumplings that 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 6 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 15 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.
