Waldbiergarten - Erftstadt

At our Germany trip in köln recommended friends an original bavarian beer garden as it must be. so good. the railway to trier and erftstadt is the station to jump. a few meters in the villeforest and there is an overblown beer garden. nice. for children, many fresh, designed beers for fathers and various weine for ladies. our food choice was knupserjagerschnitzel the hammer! recommended curryworstpfanne was typical German? with fries, soned sweet and tasty...bit Indian style next to Germany first here!

Had a really good end of our forest hike in this beer garden with super friendly staff, delicious food and good drinks.

My exploratory Sunday cycle stumbled on this beer garden (moved to Germany in Jan). The place is on various wooded cycle hike routes and seemed very popular on a sunny afternoon. The beer selection was really interesting with several drafts being 7.5% alc... dangerous...stuff for the cyclists, The menu was standard German fare and the portions quite large. Prices slightly above your average grillhaus. Ordering was funny, my german is dodgy but it 's the first time someone has 'not understood ' Currywurst and beer.

My son and I have been over from London to see his granny and she took us for dinner at this very cosy outdoor beer garden. I ordered the Jaegerschnitzel even though I thought it was a bit pricey at 18 Euro but the menu...said that it would be worth every cent . And I have to say when it arrived I was blown away! The best Jaegerschnitzel I ever had. It was as it said on the tin: worth every cent . Well worth coming over from London just for that!!! Christian

We went here after reading a lot of positive reviews. Did we visit the same place as the people that posted the very positive reviews? I don 't know. The first impressions is not great. It all looks like it passed its best-before date. One needs...to climb a kind of stairs and then ends in a open area in a wood next to a railway. The floor is covered with split stone like used in a cat toilet container. By the way, the cat is there too. The exterior furniture is typical to a biergarten: wooden benches and tables. Not typically clean, but ok. One need to get his drinks at a kind of desk. During the time I was waiting and being served at this desk, the man behind this desk hardly spoke any word. Ones he spoke it was not friendly at all. When I was waiting another waiter almost ran over me without saying anything. I doubt if he saw us at all. The menu is written in a very strange manner. I did not know that one could use so many different fonts and sizes on one A4 piece of paper. Even though we speak very good German we could hardly understand anything from the menu. Also the choices were very limited. The typical German schnitzel was not on the menu. We order 4 non alcoholic drinks. We were observed as if we just landed from an other planet. Ordering something different than beer looks like a Not-done thing here. We got our refreshments in these giant beer glasses (which is not wrong). All 4 were served in different glasses of different sizes. This is no problem but it 's just a bit unprofessional to our opinion. After a difficult selection we ordered 2 salads, one child curryworst with pommes and a plain pommes. The salads were big and tasteful. The other food was just ok. The price was far above moderate. Overall we paid about 60 euro for 4 drinks and the dishes mentioned. Disappointed we left after just over 40 minutes. Conclusion: go there if you are local and know the person 's so they talk to you. Also only order beer. Sit there with your friends and family and write a fabulous review on trip advisor. If you are not a local or don 't drink beer or want to eat something too, go somewhere else or go there and write a realistic review on trip advisor and never come back again.
