The Bavarian Lodge - Menu

Anytime we are in Taos we make a point to go to the Bavarian. Its a bit of a trek to get to, especially in the winter but it is well worth the drive.

Set on the ski slopes of Taos, this is a true Bavarian restaurant offering authentic regional drinks and dishes. Beers and wines are delicious, and we enjoyed some of the best spätzle and sauerbraten I've ever had. Would recommend this place wholeheartedly.

This restaurant offers a truly special and unique culinary experience in Ski Valley. The dining room is very cozy, and the German cuisine is excellent. They also have an extensive wine list and serve beer in genuine beer steins. It's definitely worth the trip! View menu

I had a truly exceptional and unique dining experience in Ski Valley. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, with a warm and inviting dining room. The German cuisine was delicious, and the extensive wine list offered plenty of great choices. Plus, they serve authentic beer steins! This place is definitely worth a visit.

We have eaten here several times when we visit Taos Ski Valley. By day it is a casual place to have lunch while skiing or stop for a beer after skiing. Later in the evening the place is transformed to a slightly less casual dinner spot. Service, atmosphere and food always top notch! Make reservations early for holiday times!

Our party of four arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and we were seated almost immediately by the host, a gentleman wearing an authentic pair of LEATHER lederhosen. Impressive start. Then, we were greeted by our server, Laine, who was wearing an outstanding Dirndl that further authenticated our Bavarian meal experience. I selected a 32 ounce lager that made me happy. Our meal was delectable. Laine even sang the Happy Birthday song for our 19-year old son whose birthday it was on the day we went. View menu

We want to commend the Bavarian staff for their outstanding service, as well as for providing us with a delicious meal and an enjoyable evening. When we arrived, we were not on the reservation list from OpenTable. Although it wasn't necessary, I showed them one of the many confirmations and reminders I had received. From the start, the staff assured us that a table would be available for us, and they fulfilled that promise quickly, despite being fully booked for the evening. In addition to the excellent service, we enjoyed an authentic German dinner. I had the sauerbraten, which was a generous portion of tender roast beef served with savory gravy, fried onions, and spaetzle. We will definite...

The occasion was my husband's birthday and we were both excited to try the Bavarian! We had heard and read very good things about the place. The hostess did not seem to have our Open Table reservation but they had room anyway she was not gracious... The ambiance was warm nice, the wait staff very friendly although we got served after the larger party that was seated after us oh well. The beer was great, the salad very nice, but we both got the Wiener schnitzel it was dry and hard, tasted like it was from a box in the freezer and baked instead of hand prepared and fried. Even the shape looked mechanical. The portions were quite large but it was very unsatisfying especially because including t...

This is a first time review. Overall, the ambiance based on the location and the physical structure are what make this the best choice for a special evening if you are in the Taos Ski Valley. The structure is truly old world a rough hewn log lodge complete with appropriate stuffed mountain animals and lighting by Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. The wine selection is quite robust given its remoteness, emphasizing Continental as well as US bottles. Our salads were generously portioned and nicely seasoned. Fish was perfectly cooked and osso buco also well seasoned. Excellent bread and water service, tables spaced well so that it felt very personal at dinner (but it is a madhouse at lunch! . E...
