The Bavarian Restaurant

The Bavarian is an outstanding authentic German restaurant. The food was outstanding, the inside of the restaurant had a lodge like feel to it and was really neat. It's a little slow in Taos during the summer but the Bavarian was somewhat crowded when we had our late lunch there so you know that's a good sign if the locals like it there! Must be a madhouse during ski season.

Crowded but worth it. I had the goulash, delicious. Fast service even with a line to get in. And if you don't want the goulash I can recommend the cheeseburger. Perfectly cooked and bigger than expected.

Bartender at a local tap house informed me that this restaurant was worth the exciting drive up the dirt road to Kachina Peak. She was right. Beautiful German Haus located at the base of Lift 4 at Taos Ski Valley.

Ordered from the bar station on the patio, picked up my beer, and by the time I was just getting seated, a very pleasant server arrived with my food. It was piping hot from the kitchen.

I ordered the Beer Bratwurst and a pint of Franzenkeiner. The brat and kraut were house made, and you could really tell. Came with a side of house made fries that were perfectly cooked. I enjoyed every bite of this meal.

The view and weather from the patio were great.

You bus your own tables on the patio, but that wasn't an issue for me.

You'll need a sturdy ride to get up that road, but it's totally worth the effort.

Wow! Top of the Taos Ski valley and well worth the trip! We took the chair lift to the top and upon our return elected to have lunch at the Bavarian!!! While hugely impacted by this Covid thing they were doing their best to insure our experience was terrific!
Food was delicious (Bratwurst!!) and the craft beer delicious
The facility was amazing- notice the details of the decor! Don’t miss this one!
