Zum Rassen - Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Although the Gasthof is famous for its history the food is pretty average. The service is rather "i could not care less ' and overall the place seems to live on a reputation from a previous era.

I had travelled up from Innsbruck on the train to Garmische Partenkirche. The weather was showery and the skies full of clouds. On leaving the railway station my first impressions of the town were not too great. I walked up the street away from the...station. I could see a church in the distance so I decided to head for that and I found myself in the beautiful old part of the town on Ludwigstrasse. I walked along the main street. Most of the shops were shut I had come on Boxing Day! My fault I know. Further along the main street there is another church and opposite is the highly decorated exterior of the Bayrischer Gasthof Zum Rassen. You reaqlly can't miss it. It wqas mid afternoon and I asked if they had a table for one. I was immediately made to feel at home and given a warm welcome. The interior is a delightfully old world traditional environment with many pictures of past generations of the what I presume were the owner's family. I enjoyed two glasses of dunkel weizen (dark wheat beer) and some Kartofffel Suppe (potato soup) followed by Krusten Braten (roast pork with crackling, dumplings and beer gravy) absolutely delicious! A substantial lunch, a warm and welcoming setting, friendly staff what more can you ask for for 28.40 euro. If I ever return to Garmische Partenkirche this is where I will eat and I advise you to give it a try

Service was brisk rather than friendly but it was quick. Sat on the pavement outside, busy mainly with locals. My roast beef and dumplings was fine but expensive for what it was. Wife really enjoyed her pork escalopes and mushrooms. Kids meals were fine but...very pricey I thought. For my money Zum Linden (which was full) is nicer and better value.

Der Restaurant befindet sich Zentral. Essen könnte besser sein. Das Essen ist aufgewärmt, teilweise sehr gut gewürzt. Die Portionen sind groß, aber der Geschmack fehlt. Die Kellner sind freundlich und schnell.

Wir haben hier zweimal sehr gut gegessen. BöffLamotte, Zwiebelrostbraten, Wiener Schnitzel und die "Rassen-Pfanne" waren geschmacklich alle sehr gut, das Personal freundlich und schnell. Insgesamt eine Empfehlung.
