This German restaurant offers a good selection of Bavarian cuisine in a simplistic setting. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food ranges from good to ordinary. Some highlights include the Kransky curry, spicy beef goulash, and the massive pork knuckle. The beer menu is impressive, featuring German and Czech beers, and the atmosphere is described as similar to a German Beer Hall. Portions are generous and the service is attentive. While some dishes were disappointing, overall, the experience is worth a visit for those looking for authentic German food in Sydney.

Was Blaise Stamm at Essen a mag?
I visited this restaurant to try the pork knuckle, and I was amazed by how large and flavorful the dish was. The portion sizes for both the appetizer and main course were generous. I was shocked by the amount of food I received for the price I paid. I highly recommend dining here as the staff was friendly and the meals were made with fresh ingredients. View all feedback.

What Jean Humbert dislikes about Essen:
The food appeared to have been made in advance. The schnitzel I ordered was disappointingly small and not up to par for a German restaurant. My beer order was also forgotten. The waitress was not knowledgeable about the menu and did not offer any suggestions. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant. View all feedback.

I have been dining at this restaurant for years and it has always been wonderful. The food is great and the service is excellent. The prices are reasonable and they make the best schnitzel in town.

Essen has always been a family favourite because of the delicious selection of Bavarian cuisine. It's also a good dinner date location because of it's ambience.We ordered the tasting platter and were treated to a delicious selection of everything! Loved the sausages and that glorious piece of pork crackling. For dessert, we could not miss the apple strudel.Thank you to the staff who ensured that we were comfortable throughout our meal.
