The tent with a large group in the age of 5 to 76, took three tables and had a great time. the food was really excellent, although the place was very busy and the offer was a good one and weep well. not cheap...at about $80 per head, but with the ambiente and the quality, it would be hard to find a better place to get out at mt buller.

The day was full of fun laughs, which I have never seen so happy to walk around, chase without being tired, but the elders were already up to their last remaining energy. even the youngest one who usually had afternoon snack was still on the way. When we finally reached our hotel room, I had to settle their hungry dreams. fortunately there was a pizza place in the hotel itself such a large pizza and they were full. we both have something else in mind. After all the showers, we went to the hotel pension grimus, which was literally next to our destination? kaptans restaurant, known for its traditional European alpine environment and excellent cuisine. lammglocke, quark, black garlic, chimmi churri. I'm not just a fan of lamb bell, but younger that was something else. melt in mouth and full taste. kassler, fried spruten, braided cauliflower and baked apple on the uninitiated, cassler is a German name given to a cured and slightly smoked pork (similar to gammon). it is enough to say that I enjoyed every cut I put in my mouth. nothing like a glass of the highly rated philip shaw’s architekt chardonnay would not help to lift the dining room. I ordered a side of salat and a dessert for the children to munch while we enjoyed the slow and yet satisfying dinner. we were actually exhausted, but nothing beats such an evening meal.

GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY and rest of the family pleased too! Won't find this place without GPS but so worth it for tired travelers.

Nice place with European atmosphere, schnitzel a bit disappointing (not crispy) for the price.

The day was filled with fun laughters I have never seen them so happy running around, chasing each other without feeling tired but the parents were already down to their last remaining energy. Even the youngest one who normally had afternoon nap was still up and running. When we finally reached our hotel room, I had to settle their hungry tummies. Lucky for us, there was a pizza place inside the hotel itself so one large pizza and they were full. Both of us, however, have something else in mind. After everyone had shower, we walked to Hotel Pension Grimus which was literally next door our destination? Kaptans Restaurant which is renowned for its traditional European alpine ambience and excellent cuisine. Lamb belly, quark, black garlic, chimmi churri. I'm not exactly a fan of lamb belly but boy this was something else.. melt in the mouth and full of flavour. Kassler, fried sprouts, braised cabbage and baked apple to the uninitiated, Kassler is a German name given to a cured and slightly smoked cut of pork (similar to gammon). Suffice to say that I enjoyed each and every cut that I put into my mouth. Nothing like a glass of the highly rated Philip Shaw's Architect Chardonnay would not help to lift the dining experience. I ordered a side of salad and a dessert for the kids to munch on while we enjoyed the slow yet satisfying dinner. We were actually exhausted but nothing beats a dinner like this.
