Strandcafe Starnberg

Great location on the lake with magnificent view of the alps. eating (mostly Bavarian cuisine) is quite good, but the service is slow. and they still have problems with credit card payment. Finally, they come here for the phenomenal setting if the weather allows, otherwise they can. there is a mistake.

The outside seating offers incredible views of lake Starnberg and the mountains in the background. You ca easily dit there and watch the sail boats for hours. The food was good, but the service and kitchen were very slow. They were friendly and helpful, but...spent a lot of time apologizing. Less than half the tables were full but we still waited almost 30 minutes for our brunch. Several items were missing. When the food came it was good. We tried to focus on the views and ignore our growling stomachs while waiting. Beautiful views and good food can be bad if you are patient.

We did not get to try the food, because despite trying everything to politely get the attention of the waiters we were consequently ignored. everybody around us got service, but not us, after almost one hour of sitting there like invisible people we gave up,...left and moved to the next cafe, where we got friendly attention and service which will be the topic of another review.

Café restaurant on the Starnbergsee promenade offering excellent views across the lake. Great food and drink selection, the fare being typically Bavarian. Only downside is every time I hi visited they have a problem with midges, hundreds everywhere!

To be fair, Strandcafe has a nice location overlooking the lake and bathing area. The food quality is very poor. Prices are expensive. The chicken in the chicken salad plate was made out of formed type of meat with no texture and put on Chinese...style skewers. The taste was so bad if I had no ordered it, I would not have known what it was I was eating. The lettuce was okay. Quality of tomatoes and other items was very poor. We have had fabulous produce throughout Germany and this was very poor quality. Water was 4.8 euro. The ice cream was 4.6 euro and was also pretty tasteless. All in all it seemed inferior products used. Waitress was fine. Location is really nice. They added service fee and the cost of a salad, water and ice cream was 21.80 euros and it was not a good experience.
