The Old Bavaria Haus Restaurant in New Westminster

Old house that has been converted to an authentic German restaurant. Food was excellent and service top rate.

Our server Sandi was so intentive and informative that I thought she must be an owner. Very pleasant and accomodating.

I used to visit this restaurant on occasion, however have stopped as the service went downhill significantly. do not ever give them your email address -- they will spam you with weekly junk emails without the option of unsubscribing

It was very clean, I felt pampered and it was delicious!!!! Highly recommend will definitely go again!!!

Disaster on every level. We left all the food on the table, paid and left. Ended up going to Earls to eat. Thes places should not be open

Despite the clouds giving their best effort to wash away the sins of man, I managed to sneak on into this heavenly hovel on the hill of 6th. Im no expert but by golly the whole thing was worthy of a 2 minute standing ovation. Alas legal tender will suffice. Food was stellarly cooked to perfection. Martini soaking the soul with the splash of gin to help the escargot down the pipeline. Top notch is an understatement for such a place. Truly do yourself a favour and meander your ass over for some good eats. 10/10 would eat again.

The best wiener snitzel I ve had outside Germany! And the steak was absolutely perfect!

Here for our anniversary 1yr ago. Nothing on the plate was worth eating. No apology. Nothing from management when I wrote my review last yr. Ive noticed on the negative reviews his year they never say anything, never an apology . They should close the doors or get a manager with some smarts who can hire qualified people to attempt to make the business viable. Anyway, we found a great new German rest down the road for our anniversary this year.

Very nice food and service.?will come back

Service was great but everything was the definition of mid for me. The food wasnt bad but wasnt good either. Definitely not worth the price. Ive got the Veggie Ziegeuner Schnitzel ($26) and it was made with frozen veggies, lol. My spouse got the combination dinner ($36). The best part of the meal was the side of vegetables.

Visited this restaurant today with a group of five, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Despite the lovely ambiance and good service, the food was far from satisfactory. My in-law ordered the steak, which was priced at a steep $47. To our dismay, it was completely bland and lacked any distinct flavor. The rest of the meals we ordered were also very basic and tasteless, with no hint of freshness. While the place itself is nice and the staff were attentive, the quality of the food does not justify the high prices. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant due to the subpar culinary experience. Please don t waste your time and your hard earned money.

Shrimp was tough rubbery and bland on two different types of dishes. Told staff who then talked to chef - said they were fine. Food tasteless, red cabbage no flavour missing clove. Overall poor food quality but pricey not authentic, poor customer service. High staff turnover.

This place used to be good and now its terrible. The server was nice, but completely incompetent. The food tasted like bland reheated leftovers. The sauces tasted like they had been watered down and then rethickened with starch to make them go further. Also, nothing tasted fresh. The vegetarian schnitzel was made with those frozen bagged mixed vegetables and did not match the menu description at all. The regular schnitzel was unseasoned and mostly breading. I will not be coming back.

I want to share my experience in this restaurant .. The food was good portion . The staff was attentive while taking the orders The time waited for the food was really worth.. I am extremely happy about their service .the veggies were cooked to the perfection. Definitely come back.

I am so despondent after paying $60 something more $ by ordering 2 chicken Gordon blue and I just got no flavor nk taste. I really just want you cry over this wanted to have a great time with my daughter it turned out so disappointed. Im coming from Europe but I think these people who running the restaurant just putting a shame of Bavarian name. After all I was trying to contact the manager and let me tell you something it didnt go well. I talked to Sunny just wanted to tell him my experience and how disappointed I am.He was so rude to me didnt let me talk and he hang the conversation whiteout saying a sorry. If you would call as before you make your review we could do somting but not anymore. This was his answer .So disrespectful no matter no costumer service no wonder why is the restaurant is empty. Good luck to you if you go to dine or order from this place.

Ive been coming here for many years. I had great schnitzel the last time I came. I found it declined in quality the past few years to be honest but I was happy to see such good food again.

A Profound Disappointment at the Old Bavarian Haus in New Westminster: The Bavarian House in New Westminster used to be a haven of authentic German cuisine, a place where every dish resonated with the rich flavors and traditions of Germany. Today, however, it has tragically transformed into a mockery of its former glory, serving what can only be described as the worst meal I have ever had. The Ambiance: Walking into the Old Bavarian Haus, I was filled with nostalgic excitement, eager to share with my friend the culinary delights I once enjoyed. The restaurant was eerily empty, an omen I regret not heeding. We were there well before the dinner rush, but even then, the lack of patrons was a stark contrast to the bustling, vibrant atmosphere I remembered. The Food: My friend, a meat lover, ordered the Wiener Schnitzel. What arrived was a bland, and completely devoid of seasoning. The accompanying vegetables were similarly uninspired, merely boiled without even a hint of salt or pepper. I, being a pescatarian, opted for the poached Snapper, expecting a delicate, flavorful dish adorned with sun-dried tomatoes and a rich white sauce. What I received was a cold, tasteless piece of fish. The single, minuscule piece of sun-dried tomato on top was laughable, and the white sauce did nothing to enhance the dish. The fish was cold, save for the lukewarm spots where the bland sauce had touched. The sides were equally atrocious. A smattering of red cabbage, one cauliflower floret, and one piece broccoli were overcooked, flavorless and lukewarm. The Spätzle if one could even call it that was an insult to the dishs name, bearing no resemblance to the authentic, comforting German noodles I had once enjoyed. The only redeeming feature of the meal was the side of fried potatoes, which, being deep-fried, were at least edible. But let s be honest, it s hard to mess up deep-fried potatoes. The Service: After waiting 30 minutes for our food, despite the lack of any diners, I was shocked by the poor quality of the dishes. I complained about the cold Snapper, and while they offered to make me a new meal, the thought of waiting another half-hour for what would likely be another subpar dish was unbearable. I foolishly attempted to eat what was in front of me, and I regret it deeply. Three hours later, I feel nauseous and furious with myself for not sending it back. Despite my complaint, the staff made no effort to rectify the situation, not even a token gesture to deduct part of the cost from our bill. This level of disregard for customer satisfaction is appalling. Conclusion: Its painfully clear that the Bavarian House is under new ownership, and the current proprietors are failing miserably at replicating the authentic German fare that once made this restaurant a gem. The chef, whoever they are, seems to have no understanding or respect for German cuisine. If you are in search of an authentic German meal, do yourself a favor and avoid the Old Bavarian Haus at all costs. Instead, visit the JÄGERHOF RESTAURANT in North Vancouver. The owner, who is from Germany, takes immense pride in his establishment and the dishes they serve. I am not affiliated with Jägerhof in any way, but my desire to guide fellow lovers of German cuisine to a genuine dining experience compels me to recommend it. Let my disastrous experience at the Old Bavarian Haus be a warning to you all: what was once phenomenal is now nothing short of an embarrassment. Shame on you, Old Bavarian Haus, for what you have become

Good food with excellent service. Thanks Hardeep in particular.

We order 2 appetizers that were poorly made one just one piece of shrimp in a half mushroom covered in cheese very cheaply made didn t taste good oh ya smallest piece of bread to share. Plus food wasn t not worth price paid. Definitely not going there again very upset with new management.

I preferred this place when it had the old owner. If you want a better option go to Tannenbaum down the road.

Over the last 15 years, I have taken many friends there for dinner. Went last night with my bf. We both ordered the Oscar schnitzel. What a joke. If there was even a tablespoon of canned crab on one corner of the Schnitzel (that was like shoe leather) was the most disappointing meal I have ever had. Will never ever go there again

The restaurant was completely empty at 6 pm and I can hear the staff microwave my food... stay away better yet run away!

Five of us went to dinner there recently. Service was excellent. Food was wonderful. We all chose a different plate of schnitzel to try out. We all enjoyed what we had ordered. We planning visiting again. Ww duc not know there was parking in the back - but now we do. You dont need to drive around. It is right there. Good to know for our next visit.

The schnitzel is superb! The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. And they have some of the best beer in town! Whats not to love?

Came here for their Easter turkey dinner, was amazing, tasted like home. Highly recommend.

Great food Great service HerDeep was so awesome Will be coming back love this place. The people were so awesome.

Great service.!

The mushroom champignon schnitzel was delicious. My first time tasting schnitzel. My aunt and husband also had schnitzel. The portions were large enough we were able to take the leftovers with us. Service was good as well as parking and location. As you are new owners, we wish you the best!

Hardeep have a good service and smile face good hospitality . Thank for ur services again!

If I could rate a 0 star I would. I ordered the schnitzel with brat meal. For close to 30$ you get the most flavorless food youve ever had. 2 tablespoons of cabbage, 3 wedges of steamed(?) potato and 4 pieces of steamed vegetables. I honestly never had schnitzel this thin in my life, it was just crust. Not a lick of seasoning to be tasted, I dont even know how but the sauce simply tasted like there was MAYBE a breath of bouillon to it but overall like watery flour. The only thing with flavor was the bratwurst. The other meals my partner and friend had were no better if not worse..

Just had a great experience here! awesome food and great wait staff, our server hardeep took really good care of us

Cant give less than 1 star overall. 2023 Christmas dinner @ the Old Bavaria Haus was nothing but a joke and a complete fiasco! We had the reservation for December 25th for 7 for dinner, but did we ever get dinner ~ NO! We didnt order straight away but when we did is when things got interesting. 6 out of 7 of us were ordering the special Turkey dinner that was advertised. Awhile after we ordered, the server came back to tell us that they didnt have enough for all of us. They only had 3 servings of Turkey dinner. She then told us that they could split it so we all got it. Can one say, we all had a look of confusion on our faces. We asked for the menus back to see what we would order instead. 3 of us ordered the Turkey and the other 3 ordered other items. We waited and waited and finally the meals arrived. The turkey dinner was interesting to say the least. All dark meat, the mashed potatoes looked like cream of wheat, the broccoli looked like a crown of brocolli, no gravy was ever seen and no dinner rolls. The steak ordered by 1 could have walked out of the kitchen it was so raw. The sausage was not cooked and the vegetarian dish was unrecognizable. From the time we were told that there were only 3 servings, we tried to have a conversation with the manager but found out the manager was not there that night. The one we spoke with was filling in but we have no idea who he was as we were constantly told Im filling in for the manager, wouldnt give us his name, nothing. He had no experience dealing with customers as he stood there with the dumbest look on his face. Did he offer us anything? No, didnt try to salvage the evening, nothing. One person tried the turkey dinner, food was cold, the dark meat tough. The only person who didnt order the special had French Onion soup which had no onions in it, had cheddar cheese on top and we have no idea what the bread was that was in it. Finally we just asked for the bill for the drinks that were consumed ~ again, nothing was comped or reduced. No, Im sorry, nothing. We were trying to tip the server as it was not her fault, but then we wondered if she was actually a server as one from our table saw her crying in the kitchen. Hmmm wonder why? When the fill in manager had the machine and we said about tipping the server, he was like no, she doesnt need it just pay. Never have I ever seen or been a part of something like this at a restaurant. If you are going to advertising Turkey Dinner, make sure you actually have it and not the remnants. I have been at this restaurant before and I have to say, the food was cold then too. Both times, not like the restaurant was full, multiple empty tables. Looks like they just dont know what they are doing or how to run a restaurant. How to ruin a Christmas dinner or just a night out, go to the Old Bavaria Haus Restaurant.

The place is very cozy. Thanks Hardeep for the great service!

They prob never ate actual German food

enjoyed the food & ambiance. server was attentive & pleasant. had a wheat beer, had cordon bleu w mushrooms schnitzel. tasty & nice selection of fresh vegetables. special coffees & strudel & black forest ice cream hot cherries treat. yumm

Had a great breakfast, delicious and interesting, the Egg Nest I had. Loved the music they played, very professional service. Thanks , I ll be back for Schnitzel.

We used to frequent this restaurant years ago and really enjoyed the service and food. This was our first time back since the lock-down. We read that there was new management, so we thought wed try it out again. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant in the past has always been quite busy. but last night (Feb 17 2024), there were only two other tables being served. That should have been a clue. I had the beef rouladen with spaetzle and my wife had chicken schnitzel champignon with potatoes. The potatoes, spaetzle and vegetables were cold. The schnitzel was a small portion and bland, and the rouladen - a good size portion - was tough and also bland. For dessert, my wife had the apple strudel which was average. Our server only asked us how the meal was after we were finished. We wont be back anytime soon. I really hope they improve otherwise I cant see them surviving the competitive food and service industry.

Enjoyed a very cozy and intimate dinner here. Our meals were prepared well, and our server Hardeep was attentive. Would return to try the other german menu offerings, which were extensive.

Service was adequate but the food was very low quality. Our crème caramel looked old and the whipped cream was flat. Would not recommend.

Good food, good service, cream caramel is sooo good !

None of the food was cooked right

Arguably the worst food I ve ever eaten. Server was nice though

Although restaurant was packed on the New Year s Eve but the food was perfectly on time .There atmosphere is really calm and service was great and food is authentic German food. We will definitely be back.

Not a good place for special events. All my guests had bad experience with the food and the service.

Popped in for a little nibble pre-Christmas and was VERY disappointed. Ordered croissant with egg and cheese and a side of hash browns ($12). Well, the hash brown patty was the disgusting cheap greasy frozen type you get in the freezer section at bulk grocery store . The croissant consisted of a slice of processed cheese, a very small piece of what looked like lettuce, a thin tomato slice that tasted like fish. The egg seem to be fried and nonexistent. I know this is a Bavarian Haus restaurant, but not impressed. Owners are obviously not Bavarian..PS - never received my coffee or tea which was included. Thumbs down for sure .

Terrible. Stingy portions. I ordered a small goulash which comes in a tiny crock and is half empty. For $6; We were eating light as we had dinner plans and a breakfast croissant (with melted cheese slice, a can of Okanagan beer and a small goulash came to $29!!! Wanted German beer on tap but glad I sampled first - all draft beers were stale and flat. Clearly not run by Germans - another business bought by offshore investors putting minimal cost into business they bought with final goal of tearing it down to build condos - tastes like greed. Funny how the 5 star reviews seem to all be local guides ; With guidance like that who needs enemies?

Went for dinner not long ago and was extremely disappointed. Food was bland and cold, veggies tasted boiled. Service was incredibly slow and no knowledge of German food at all. Makes White Spot look like a 5 star restaurant!

Was excellent food ..server however could have been better acquainted with the seating plan menus and the pricing of a substitute to a dinner menu..we where charged for a complete extra meal for a substitute that came with less then it would have if we had ordered it separately.but where told at the time of ordering that it was the cheaper option...in the end it would have been cheaper to buy both meals..we changed an item on one so it came out as a full priced meal missing one item and the substitute was charged as a full priced meal lacking half of what was described in the menu for that price ...so essentially we where charged for two dishes both lacking the complete menu advertising...and the other dish was good and all but in reality I was not impressed with the portion size for a price tag of 37.00 and a grand to of 175+ gratuity for what was supposed to be two plates and 1 sleeve of dark ale .

Loved Hardeep, she was awesome! The Oskar Schnitzel was tasty but the amount of crab was not worth the money. Recommended dishes

Delicious schnitzel dinners for our group of 3 on a Wednesday night in January. The service from our server, Hardeep was attentive and relaxed. Exactly what we wanted!

shoutout Hardeep, great waitress

Kid-friendliness: My uncle from Seattle took us to eat dinner, and they had really good food and amazing service. Our server Kaurdeep Kaur was so kind and served us so well! Totally recommend this place

The food was good with generous portions. The service is friendly if a little chaotic. If you are craving schnitzel, this is a good spot for a mid-week dinner.

Deepy the chef made my burger just how I like it! My parents loved their meals hot, fresh, full of flavour. Wonderfully clean inside, appreciated the cloth napkins and table covering. The German decor is so unique so quaint! Our server had a beautiful smile she was informative, polite, professional and accommodating. Wonderful birthday experience. Thanks so much and many Blessings

Bratwurst and strudel were great

Dinner was wonderful. I enjoyed it with my friends.

I m really appreciate to young and beautiful Hardeep for service and communication it was unforgettable dinner for my friends and me really appreciate work and food absolutely delicious

Terrible service and food! The only table at 11 am on Sunday and we waited 40 minutes for our terrible brunch. We both asked for soft poached eggs and got over hard, greasy eggs, over cooked crispy bacon, greasy deep fried cheep hash browns, nothing special suasage and an ok waffle. Had to ask several times for coffee refills as server felt her side duties were more important! Server ignored me when I commented on not getting what I ordered as she couldnt care less. All of this for $25! what a rip off, will never return!

Great experience, Amazing authentic food. Had the Goulash soup to start & the Schnitzel and Bratwurst. Both were exactly what I was looking for. Parking: Free parking in back

The workers were very kind and thoughtful throughout decorating for our wedding celebration and were okay with anything. Made sure all your needs were fulfilled throughout the visit Vegetarian options: Had food for vegetarian people to enjoy Parking: Tons of available parking at the back of the building Kid-friendliness: The workers were very well mannered when it came to customer service

The breakfast was delicious and Koma, our waitress, was so kind. It was so serene too and a great way to start my day.

Amazing schnitzel! Friendly staff, very cozy it s a must try!

Excellent setting

Loved! The food is excellent, and the customer service is fantastic! Hardeep made us feel at home! Parking: Lots of spots right in front of the restaurant.

Fantastic food and service by Hardeep! Great evening!

We enjoyed a pleasant atmosphere and delicious dinner last night at the Bavaria Haus in celebration of a family birthday. Our waitress, Hardeep was terrific - very attentive and professional, and the food wonderful! We all had schnitzel and enjoyed it very much. The Black Forest cake for desert topped off a lovely evening.

Excellent service by Hardeep and other staff who were very enthusiastic and helpful, they even memorized our orders which was impressive if slightly unnecessary. The bread was hot and fresh and food came within a reasonable time period. The schnitzel cordon blue champignon was tasty

Good food. First time trying German food.

Food was not bad but the server aggressively (very rudely) asked me to leave a review so here you go. The service wasnt great. The ambience was very strange as the same song played over and over. There also wasnt anyone remotely German working there which added to the strange vibe

I agree with other recent reviews. The quality of food wasn t great and the service was friendly but inattentive and slow. Trust that real German food has more flavor.

Food was mediocre and the schnitzel was small for the price. There was spa music playing on repeat which kind of ruined the ambiance. At the end of our meal the server insisted we write a positive Google review, so here it is.

Hardeep was an amazing server. Great food and service. The food was fabulous. Will be back again!

Went just this Monday service was incredible and the food is true old school German food our server Herdeep was so thoughtful and friendly if ur ever in new westminster check it out Kid-friendliness: Servers always entertain the kids

Food was true bavarian style Parking: Parking is around back of building Food : 5/5 |

Always wonderful coming here. It was for my dads birthday and all the family was there. Hardeep was awesome. Thank you so much for memorable evening

Looking kind of tired. Prices are too high in my opinion. Food was fine

Suggestions: Add Tarragon to the Béarnaise sauce. Add some salt to the food. Don t argue with the customers, if I ask for no ice in my drink I mean no ice. Serving me a drink with ice and telling me it s just a little bit of ice when I asked to change it made me furious. Don t fry Spätzle in burnt oil. Try to make some of it fresh. I know what German food tastes like and this is not it.

We had a romantic dinner cab-savig ordered appetizer, mushroom Snitzel, great meal great service will be back. Harder was our waitress very good Gerry

Recently try breakfast there, the service is great, like old rustic European interiors, I ordered potatoe pancake, it was a bit underwhelming, not something restaurant quality. But I will give a try for dinner someday.

Delivered via Door Dash, our meals were slightly above room temperature. . Tasty, but for $30 a dish, they could have thrown in a few more vegetables. Also, the Door Dash app does not make it clear that potatoes and veg are included by default since only the meat is described but the app has options to add on veg or potatoes for $5 or more per item.

A fairly nice and cozy place. They may want to play more than one song on a loop :), though. The breakfast plate was slightly different than in other restaurants. Hash browns are more like frozen potato patties, and eggs look more like sunny side up, even if you order them over, and pancakes are served first, but theres enough food, and it tastes good, and its hot.

Loved it

Went in today hoping for the same good experience I had in the past, but was sorely disappointed - schnitzel portion is half the size of what it used to be, the bratwurst is different and now very small and the prices are unreasonably high for what they are serving to customers. So sad. This place could do so much better. Thankfully, taste of schnitzel was good as was the red cabbage. Potatoes were tasty, but vegetables were cold.

We had a reservation for 9 people for a dinner. The young girl who accomodate us was very nice and had a high sense of humour. The food and drinks came in time and very good.

Went there last night to celebrate 2 birthdays, 8 of us. No special b-day offer... I am from Europe, this restaurant is far from Bavarian. Food is average, ambient too, service ok. 18% mandatory tip, insane. I like to visit various restaurants in Vancouver, to taste different food, though never go where tip is included. This is not USA, tip has to be earned.

Great schnitzels, wonderful service, and a charming atmosphere! The sauerkraut was excellent as well. Definitely check out this place if you re in new west.

Tried this place for breakfast today. Good food and great service. I had the waffle combo and they also gave a complimentary dessert for family day. Food

First time there for breakfast and really enjoyed the food and the service. We will definitely go back.

This is the worst I have every tasted , it was so disappointing as they only had chicken or pork schnitzel!! Only could get veal if you ordered 3 days in advance ???? That is Not a Bavarian restaurant. Will never return there. Believe that it changed hand or something. Never again.

Had a lovely lunch here today, Hardeep was so patient with our very loud family and even did the final decorations for our tables birthday cake that we brought! 10/10 would come again

Cozy cozy cozy! Good food and service

Hardeep was a great server accommodating our large table of people! She even helped decorate the cake we brought and was quickly attentive. Food was great! Very fresh and home style tasting. They even accommodated our not so mobile elderly Oma by letting her come in the back door.

Hardeep was fabulous as a waitress and the food was delicious!!! Would recommend this place to everyone!

We had an awesome experience today at old Bavarian restaurant! Hardeep was a great server for our big group of 13! She was very helpful. Food was very good too. Thank you so much !!

This place is no longer the charming Old Bavaria Haus that you once knew and loved. It is now just old and sad. Very sad. Food: Absolutely horrible. The Roasted Garlic Potato Pancakes were not fresh as they tasted and looked pre-cooked at least several days before and were obviously microwaved with the mushroom sauce on top (which contained no actual mushrooms). They were so old and over microwaved to the point of being inedible as the edges were rock hard that not even a steak knife could saw through them. Tooth-breaking hard, but was not going to attempt for obvious reasons. The sauce being microwaved turned to a sticky, glue-like mess on top. $15 for 2 very small, inedible excuses for pancakes. If I wanted microwaved pancakes I would have gone to McDonald s. The Schnitzels had gristle which made for an unpleasant chewing experience and were oil sogged and soft, not crisp, one side had some color, the other side may not have even touched the pan. The wilted red cabbage compote was the only mildly tasty item on the plate along with some plain steamed veggies and a spoonful of grease laden potatoes. Service: While most of the wait staff seemed polite, they were distracted (by what? I don t know), devoid of any personality and were clearly not interested in providing adequate let alone decent service. I cringed at how one server practically rolled her eyes at an elderly couple seated at the table next to us when they asked questions about the menu and then proceeded to almost shout at them. I felt terrible for them as their server was not interested in providing them with a nice experience, the same as with our server, however ours was more polite than that. We were not asked if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our food after it was unceremoniously dropped off while a random server was passing by our table. Maybe for the best as I had nothing good to say after the first few bites and just wanted to get out of there. Ambiance: While this place used to have that cozy old world charm one wants to experience at a Bavarian establishment, this place is now just old as it has totally lost it s worldly charm. Dimly lit, dusty and sticky - the chairs were sticky, walls were dirty, light fixtures had cobwebs. The same cliched accordion song was played over and over on repeat for the entire time we were there, and it clashed with different music being played in the adjacent dining room. Summary: This place is utterly depressing. We left with an acrid, oily taste in our mouths and needless to say, we will never return. In my opinion, the new owners of the Old Bavaria House along with the management and staff should NOT be in the fine dining restaurant business, or in the food service industry at all as they have made it very clear that they either cannot or have no intention of providing any sort of pleasant experience for their guests in the slightest.

I went to old Bavaria haus last Sunday .. the food is implacable and marvellous I enjoyed it . Loved the ambience , it reminds me of authentic German home that my grandmother lived in

Place was empty for breakfast, no music, took a while to get service. The drinking water was white and cloudy with foam on the top, the server said it was filtered but I think their taps need cleaning. The pancakes were store bought microwaved pancakes from safeway, as well as their hashbrowns.

My goodness, what a hidden gem!! Im so so glad we stumbled across it, the food and service was exceptional!! Just like Germany

amazing hidden gem, everyones very nice and food was delicious!

I took my friend there for her birthday. Komal served us what a pleasant and friendly server. The food and service was excellent Sure to return

We ve got an excellent experience being client of this lovely place. Food was good and Hardeep showed high service. Definitely will recommend to my friends

The food was delicious, the portions were just a little small. Jessica the waitress was wonderful :)

Should have read the reviews.... we specifically went for German... and could have ordered Thai, Mexican or French from the menu.... The breakfast was small. Dennys would be a better choice.... hashbrowns from McDonalds. Seriously?? Looking at some of the glowing reviews maybe we just need to be friends of the staff??

Always a cute Lil spot and food was as enjoyable as I remember. Our Server Hardeep was very helpful and full of smiles. Thank you

Decided to come to this place because we craved schnitzel. Hardeep (the waitress) was extremely friendly and remembered all our orders without writing them down which was very impressive. The schnitzel was excellent as well as the appetizers. Will be definitely coming back excellent experience.

Harpeet was an INCREDIBLE server. Remembered everything even though we had a complicated order. Food was excellent and we will 1000% be back. Thank you for a beautiful night Hardeep!

Amazing service by Hardeep and the schnitzel almost as good as in Germany

The best dinner ever. Exceptional service. Our server Harpeet is such a sweetheart, so attentive and knowledgeable. Thank you Hardeep

Amazing service! Hardeep was one of the best servers weve had in a long time. The schnitzels were spectacular. We will definitely be back!

Not what it used to be after new management. Went for breakfast, my wifes coffee was Luke warm, mine was hotter. The breakfast food was ok but for the price point, no. Black forest cake which used to be made by the previous owner was authentic and delicious and you got a full wedge. Got a piece to go after breakfast and it was a small square drizzled with what seemed like nesquick Chocolate sauce and tasted like a grocery store bought cake, price for the cake went up too.

We were there 03/12/23 food was just above mediocre half the plate was cold the service although polite was terrible and disorganized we waited for 40 min before our order was taken and three different servers Never offered e en a glass of wine and couldn t keep the water topped off The service was the most negative and the wait intro pay made it even more painful. We won t be back for some time. If your going to charge for a top notch experience then train your staff to deliver one

0/10 paid almost $70 for food poisoning that ruined my weekend. Called in and the manager hung up upon hearing about this. Food is subpar at best and a legitimate health risk at worst. Parking: None available

The food is absolutely amazing and the service is even better!!! You wont be disappointed!! Best experience in a while.

Please read other reviews as well, You can go north vancouver for germany food, avoid this one glass is dirty, they served 13$ sausage and it burned. food taste so weird, main course no decor, nothing, taste no flavor Never come back , not worth the price

Food was delicious and the schnitzel portion was huge. Polite and friendly staff and great dining environment!

The food was average and the service mediocre. This place is definitely not the same.

Very friendly service. Very tasty food.

Good authentic place. Kinda felt like being in Germany. Our server Hardeep was very friendly.

Parking: Good parking but bad food

I found the experience to be just OK.

As someone who has heard of the great old Bavarian haus reputation for years, I was excited to spend my birthday there with some friends. Unfortunately the raving reviews I heard for years doesnt match up. We had a table of 7, issues faced were as followed: 1. The wait staff we had was sparse and barely checked on us. We noticed 1 woman running tables and working very hard while our 2 men would visit the room rarely, and leave without checking on us. Asking for drinks was tricky as we were barely able to squeeze in a 2nd drink with dinner. If they told us they were busy, we would have understood, but nothing was mentioned. 2. My poor friend ordered the prawn and scallops and was disheartened. It was $39.95 and the portion/type of food was the same as a $10.95 appetizer my other friend had. It was disappointing and a similar situation happened when my friend ordered a $10 bratwurst appetizer with only 1 sausage. Overall the experience was a let down from what I expected seeing lineups outside for years. The food was good enough but not for the prices theyre offering, and the male staff didnt care enough to check on us and refill any of our drinks. Wasnt terrible but doesnt match the reputation Ive heard about for years.

It was my first time in the restaurant. I was not impressed with the food. It was ok but not great. The house is really beautiful. I dont think I will be back again. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian dish was not that great. I large veggies patty with sauce and steamed vegetables.

I ate the schnitzel champignon which was super tasty but a little pricey in my opinion. However, the portion of meat they give you is quite large. Great classic German food!

As a visitor to Canada, this place was recommended to us. It was absolutely fantastic! Best german food outside of Berlin. Highly recommend 10/10

Great food, prices, and excellent service. The amount of food you get for what you pay is well worth it. Hardeep was great to us well we were there.

Hardeep was a wonderful waitress. Good portion sizes for the price, and wonderful atmosphere.

Excellent food and service. Authentic German food. Vegetarian options were also great. Pleasant atmosphere and accommodating staff.

The quality has gotten so bad that I simply can not eat at this place anymore. After all the existing staff was replaced during the pandemic it went downhill from there.

The soup was awesome, the service was excellent, Hardeep took good care of us, Deepy is an excellent cook/chef

Why owner never reply to negative review ? We expect your response & answers why food taste so bad Seem like you do not care and create some other clone accounts to build up your rate lol

Visited for the first time and was served by Hardeep. Service was good, loved the atmosphere, but the chicken breast was a little dry.

Our familys first time having German food together. Brought back memories of my grandmothers cooking. Good food and good service. My compliments to chef Deepy and Hardeep for the great service! I just wish there were a childrens menu!

Food was good! The server Jessica was so sweet and came to check in our table even though she wasn t our server. She asked how our food was and refilled our waters. Jessica is very sweet and thoughtful!

It is my worst German cuisine experience ever. Spatzle Nordsee is stale. Schnitzel Gordon Bleu is tiny in portion and not properly flavored. Bavarian Bratwurst Dinner is also small portion for its price and not outstanding in taste. Better spend your money elsewhere. I don t know how other people gives more than one star.

Food and service was amazing! Especially Hardeep :)

We ve been coming here for years. Some of the old staff knew us from elsewhere in the German community but they have now moved on. We just had a birthday celebration here recently. Charged $20 for the birthday cake we brought ourselves as open food to start. Wow did the prices ever go up for a Schnitzel dinner. The food in general was ok but nothing like it used to be and maybe it s a reflection of the new owner/management. Not worth the prices they re asking. Portions were smaller and food seemed to be processed not handmade though the spetzel was good. Sure the place still has some ambiance with the decor but the food leaves something to be desired. We did have a very good server Hardeep. Won t be going back here so we will have to check out the very few other remaining German Restaurants in the area.

I very much enjoyed the experience of going to this authentic German restaurant. The service was great and the food was excellent

The food and beer are good but the service is terrible. A waiter fighting with customers and there is no manager or someone else to talk about it. I would have wanted to try more of the menu but we won´t be back. One of us ordered a fettuccini with cheese sauce but received spaghetti with vegetables not described on the menu. When she asked to the waiter if that was the correct plate, the waiter was rude, saying that if she doesn´t eat mushrooms, she should say that before ordering and she went into the kitchen very angry and began to shout there. I was surprised by the answer from a young woman waiter in a fancy restaurant.

The service was great and management was very kind and funny the restaurant is definitely a place to go if you have a birthday or celebration

German food yummy.

Had an excellent appetizers (potato fried pancakes) and a very yummy SCHNITZEL CHAMPIGNON with SCHNITZEL MADAGASCAR. Our server (Jaspreet) was very polite and professional. Our first time visit at this restaurant was over 25 years ago and now at the new ownership but the food is consistently good quality, so we definitely will be back soon. Thank you!

Food was authentic German, cooked and tasty as if you eating dinner at some German grandmothers home. Jaspreet, the sever was great and very professional. The decor is also very Bavarian. Highly recommend.

Great food great service . Hardeep is lovely.

4 of us went for my birthday dinner. We have been going for 30+ years. Very disappointed. Schnitzel was like it was deep fried, vegetables were rock hard. Black Forest cake was not great. Staff were lovely, but not ethnic German Food anymore. Will not be going back.

We ordered schnitzel and it all tasted great and authentic. The service was great and put up with a rude customer while also offering us flawless service. We went at a slightly slow time, so the restaurant was a bit quite, but overall it was a great experience.

Gem in the area. Schnitzel hits home.

Nothing like it used to be.

Im assuming this restaurant used to be something special. I feel it needs a coat of paint and a good cleaning. The prices were very high, notably almost $11 for a single bratwurst sausage, the food was OK but seemed like it had sat under a heat lamp for a while before they brought it out. The servers were friendly enough but seemed poorly trained, informing us three times only after we attempted to order something that it was sold out. Happened with drinks, appetizers and desserts. I love German food but Im afraid I cant recommend this place as it was.

Yummy delicious home cooked food, good tasting beer from Germany and wonderful staff that are accommodating and very friendly. Our server Jaspreet was such a wonderful sweetie. Will definitely be returning. Open for breakfast now too!!

I was on my own, tired and hungry. Id been driving around for a while, not many places open at 7:00 am. I needed a place to enjoy breakfast in a safe, comfortable place. The Old Bavaria Haus is an established restaurant in New Westminster where I had enjoyed family dinners and other celebrations with friends. It was always busy, therefore I knew this was a trusted place by members of the community. What a pleasant experience. I was greeted by Komal, whom after a brief chat about how long they had opened their doors for breakfast, escorted me to a table by a sunny window. I tucked myself in to the seat and was presented with their new breakfast menu and a glass of water. I told her I was excited since I had been driving around and noted there were not many establishments open for a proper breakfast anymore. Jessica, my server, was friendly and professional. She put me right at ease. She asked if I would like something to drink. I ordered coffee, which she brought. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the coffee, robust, and flavourful. I told her I would need a few minutes to peruse the menu since there were a lot of choices. Meanwhile a couple came in and were seated at a table close to mine. It was obvious from their conversation with Komal they were regulars, so after Komal left I asked what they would recommend and ordered the omelette and pancakes combo with bacon, scrambled eggs, whipped cream and seasonal fruit. The couple ordered the same and split it between them, which give you an idea of how much food was on the plate. When our orders arrived the food was hot and delicious.The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. So much so, I left with some new found friends and vowed to come back soon. Needless to say I left not only feeling full, but with a fresh perspective on the day. I summary: The breakfast was delivered hot to the table in a timely manner, was delicious and the same quality I would prepare for myself and family members. The service reinforced the family atmosphere and price was reasonable. I recommend you give it a try.

I am a Construction Worker working on 6th Street in New Westminster and it was my Birthday last Friday so I went over to have a Gourmet European Lunch instead of my usual Home Made Soups & Peanut Butter Sandwich. Got an Extra Serving of Schnitzel along with trying the Garlic Potato Cakes. German Potato Cakes are mentioned as Pauls Favorite Dish in All Quiet On The Western Front. Was the First Time I ever tried Spatzle. I called ahead and made me Reservation and Order made the day before I was to show up so that they might have my Order Prepared for when I arrived. They did not start Cooking my Order until after I arrived so One Star Off for that.

Dietary restrictions: They were super accommodating with my gluten restrictions and made me a separate chocolate mouse ! 10/10 experience ! Food

Dinner with a group. Service was great, thank you Hardeep. All our requests were met with a smile. Food was enjoyable.

Dinner for 5 with friends. Food was very good. Hardeep took fabulous care of us. All the staff were great. Thanks for a nice dinner all Food

Walking in immediately reminds me of my old German grannys house, turned into a restaurant. We started with stuffed mushrooms, we were served 4 mushrooms, chopped in half with way to much cheese and not enough shrimp. It definitely could have been cooked a bit longer so it was crispy and not just extremely gooey and oily. Probably wouldnt order this dish again. My husband ordered the mixed combo, I had the schnitzel and bratwurst. The schnitzel and brat were absolutely deliciously, the potatoes were cooked nicely. Unfortunately the spetzle was lacking in flavor and the gravy that came with the meals was served sparingly. The vegetables were cooked nicely but could have used some butter. The red cabbage was absolutely delicious, not sour at all. Very tender and cooked nicely. The rouladen was delicious. We opted for no drinks because the cost for one sleeve of beer was ridiculous. All in all I would definitely come.back for the schnitzel and brats. If I ordered sperzle again I would definitely make sure there was some kind of sauce on it l. Otherwise it would have been amazing.

One of the few truly authentic German restaurants remaining in Vancouver. If you like the real German food and atmosphere then this is the place to visit, you will not be disappointed.

Not recommended. The service and atmosphere are great, but their food is quite disappointing with the price you pay. We waited more than 20 minutes for our schnitzels after we were done with appetizers, and the restaurant wasn t even busy, they had only two tables to serve including us. Highlights of the visit: - food court grade schnitzel, sauce can barely cover half a schnitzel - American shredded cheese is used on everything that calls for cheese - we counted two pieces of meat in our goulash soup This is a great location for a future episode of Kitchen Nightmares.

Fabulous service Hardeep, Beer and food fantastic!! Food : 5/5

Lovely service from Hardeep :) Wonderful food Food

Good service.

Food was horrible. Poison and the seafood tasted like frozen gross nasty food poisoning.

Food was not quality. This place is not what it used to be. Do not go here the food is junk. The seafood smell rotten. Will never eat here again!

We came from Monterrey, Mexico just to visit this Restaurant, Hardeep is an excellent hostess and makes you feel like a member of her family. He deserves a raise.

Really, really great! Hardeep s service was impeccable. The food was outstanding!

Food was delicious and Hardeep our server was very helpful.

Thank you for hosting our family of over 60 people. The location was perfect with both an indoor and outdoor space and the staff was so helpful, patient and grateful.

Amazing venue for our 60 person family reunion. Pardeep, Sunny and the rest of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had the beautiful upstairs and patio to ourselves and were able to mingle and dance while the kids had space to run around. I would highly recommend The Old Bavaria Haus and would definitely come back for our next get together.

Bavaria Haus left me confused, let me explain. The service - The restaurant was not busy, the server interacted with us several times while we waited for additional friends to join yet, in over 20 minutes she never thought to offer to take our drink order! In fact even after the remainder of our party arrived it still took about 10 minutes and we had to call her and tell her we want drinks! Once drinks were delivered and our order taken getting her attention was difficult! This makes it sound like the service was horrendous but we didnt leave feeling that way. The server was sweet, when at our table, very friendly and exceptionally compliant and understanding when we went through a series of table moves. The Food - higher price point, I had a warm appetizer the Spatzel Nordsee which was a good portion size yet somewhat bland and lacked any seafood flavour. The rest of the party enjoyed their food to different degrees but most enjoyed. The setting - very traditional German, nice place for a romantic or quiet dinner and they have a rooftop patio if your gathering is more casual. In conclusion not a bad nor memorable experience, if in the area worth a visit if you want to try German food but not a place I would travel to for a meal.

Food was fantastic, our server was very friendly and took care of all our questions (had some allergies to take care of) will definitely be coming here again Dietary restrictions: Allergies were taken care of with no problems

Fantastic place! Our server Jaspreet was great, she was very entertaining and attentive. Only issue was accessibility to the patio for elderly but we had a great time none the less.

Was great food will definitely return when Im in the area

I recently visited a charming German-themed restaurant with friends, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to a cozy Bavarian atmosphere that made us feel right at home.The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the food. The restaurant offered a wide array of traditional German dishes, and each one was a treat for the taste buds. What truly elevated our dining experience, though, was the impeccable service provided by Jaspreet, our server. Her warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for the evening. She was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely enthusiastic about sharing her recommendations.

The food was superb, and the service was excellent! They seamlessly handled our large group of 12. I wouldnt hesitate to go back!

Great bavarian traditionally-styled environment, really really good food and helpful and friendly service makes this place a great choice if your craving german and your in the Vancouver area! Definitely our favorite local german restaurant! Food

Delicious food, served by Hardeep; will definitely be back!

Great service. Awesome food.

If youre feeling nostalgic for German food, just go somewhere else. TLDR; new ownership doesnt seem to get German culture/cuisine. The Oma has left this building and isnt coming back. Its very sad to see this place as such a shell of its obviously legendary past. The food was pretty over cooked and bland. It lacked the nuance that a cook familiar with food of that region would have. The portions were OK but not significant. Just absolutely no passion in anything. If youre feeling nostalgic for German food. Our server was really great, kind, and attentive. Unfortunately, it didnt make up for a business with no direction, soul or passion.

We had the staff sitting with us many years ago we lived on 6 th across from the B House ..special coffees we skipped home holding hands .

This one has gone to the Land Where Good Restaurants Go To Die. Nothing really wrong, just sad

The schnitzel we had here before was crisper, more tender and served warmer - the same is true of the vegetables.

The goulash soup is great, the schnitzel and sausage were not the best quality and the potatoes and Spätzle were a bit flat.

Absolutely the best onion soup I ve had; food is amazing, cabbage takes you back home. Had the schnitzel champignon and it was delicious, perfectly fried, juicy and not greasy! I also tried a bite of their potato pancakes and a bite of their bratwurst which were fantastic as well. Service was vey friendly and all around good atmosphere. It was nice to feel like I was back at home eating my grandmas cooking but with a fine dining touch. A++

Always fabulous food and large portions. Schnitzel is second to none

We dont live in the area, but wanted to go somewhere for German food for a birthday. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. German music playing in the background. Service was excellent. Everyone in my party was very pleased with the food. Everything tasted amazing. ordered the combination dinner. Rouladen was flavorful and very tender. Schnitzel was amazing - tender with a light crispy coating. Everything was delicious! Will definitely want to make the trek out here to visit again.

Online table reservation Server has a clue about front and back end Server moves and is nice Food is as good as I can make at home or better Below is a Zigeuner schnitzel and a home-made Veggie schnitzel - cute effort, way too oily Dessert would be nice, like a strudel or something. Free parking nearby Heritage looking building Neighborhood is boring, nothing to see or do

The food is good. Lighting is a bit dark. Service was good. The only bad thing to say is that the garlic bread served is as hard as a rock, and the elevator music playing was annoying. Everything else was good for my first time visit.

I believe our servers name was Hardeep, I hope I didnt mishear her. She was great, accomodating and knowledgeable of where she worked. The food was great! My mom has wanted to go here with me for years now and we FINALLY made it happen! There Bavarian iced coffee, was to die for!!! It was a great experience and will definitely be back!

First and last time there. Waited an hour for the food. Everything we ate was a big MEH! Food : 2/5

Food is fine, prices arent bad, house is very pretty. Time to get the food is *super* slow. Or at least it was for brunch. We were the only table in the restaurant and it took an hour to get breakfast. (Half our party showed up later, but we ordered first and said not to wait, and they... elected to ignore that request. I understand the intent behind bringing the entire tables order at the same time, but it was frustrating when we said not to wait.) The atmosphere is very neat and I would like to come back for their dinner menu, but for average/basic breakfast/brunch there are tastier and more convenient places to go.

This place used to be packed..... not anymore. We used to come here often when we lived in the area. Last night, we tried once more to come here. At 7 PM, there was a party on one side and only two tables were taken on the other side of the restaurant. Food is changed. Still carries a tendency of German cuisine but, yet, far from it. Important is that food is fresh. Are we going to go back to this place? Maybe, one day.

Nice atmosphere and music Food is good, price as expected. Waitress sked me multiple times to leave Review on Google maps. It was like Did u like everything? Live us a review ... can please I have a bill?, sure, please leave us a review, and Ill bring you a bill..... then 10 min later did you live review? -yes- ok, hire is you bill. It is not ok to beg for review, especially 3 times

Very nice restaurant, good service, great tables and decoration.

Where to begin? We (2 couples) have been going to this restaurant since the 70s, which had always been a steady provider of good German cuisine at a reasonable price with a traditional atmosphere. Sadly, only the decor remains to remind you of what it used to be. The schnitzel is now two thirds the size, thinner and poorly cooked (not tender inside and crisp on the outside), the veggies are steamed and bland, the red cabbage was probably the best item and possibly from a jar. The roasted potatoes were boiled and rolled in paprika (or something like that) to give them colour and slightly dragged across the griddle. Awful! If you ask for bread they will offer 4 pieces about 1/2 thick by 2-1/2 round for $2.50.....with a straight face! We didnt have dessert as we wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. The servers. One was pleasant but totally un-knowledgeable about the food she was serving. The other was curt and sarcastic, she had no time for any social grace. Ive had better interaction with a tow truck driver on a rainy day! This was a huge disappointment because we knew the previous quality and service offered at this restaurant and it became painfully obvious that it was under new management that neither knew about German cuisine or cared. Their goal is the bottom line. They are in a race to the bottom, as their competition has far better food and price, which would be a Dennys or a pizza joint! Good-bye Old Bavaria Haus!
