This evening, we started with the potato pancakes as an appetizer and enjoyed a layered sponge cake filled with strawberry mousse for dessert. For our main courses, we chose the chicken breast served with a mixed bell pepper gravy, along with red cabbage and spätzle, and the pork tenderloin stuffed with brandy-soaked prunes, wrapped in bacon and coated in cornflakes, finished with a brandy cream gravy, red cabbage, and a potato dumpling. Every dish was absolutely delicious!

The owners care deeply about your experience and love to share the story of the dishes they serve. Make reservations if you are traveling from a distance because it is a small, intimate restaurant. Not inexpensive, but I’m happy to support these wonderful folks doing a wonderful thing by keeping German cuisine alive.

By happenstance we went into Sidney, NY and came across The Bavaria . Not sure what to expect, we decided to try it out. I have not had good Germanfood since my German Grandma in Queens NY made it for me as a kid. I thought nothing could be as good as my Grandmother 's.....Iwas wrong...no offense Grandma, but the food here was authentic and delicious. The service was great and very friendly. I trulyenjoyed talking with the owner and her daughter, and was happy to tell them how wonderful their restaurant is. I am a Foodie,and have been cooking since I was 7 and am now 63. When I say this food was excellent, I mean it. It is so difficult to find anauthentic German restaurant in upstate NY. I am so glad that this one is only a short distance from me. I can 't remember thedish I had, but it was excellent. The breaded pork was done perfectly, the red cabbage had just the right amount of sour, andthe Spatzele was melt in your mouth . The Black Forest Cake for desert, was pure heaven with real kirsch soaked cherry filling ,delicious chocolate cake with a delectable whipped cream frosting. We will definitely be back there soon. I highly recomend The Bavaria . Very reasonably priced for the amount and quality of food. A gourmet dream.

Better than home made. Applestruedel was served warm with vanilla ice cream; justperfect. I was having scheduling difficulties and they saved the day. The reason I gave a 4 out of 5 for the atmosphere is thatl am old fashioned and the decor is modern.
