The Bavarian Lodge - Taos Ski Valley

Very special and unique culinary experience in ski valley - very cozy dining room, good German food, extensive wine list and real beersteins. in any case worth the trip.

We would like to praise the Bavarian staff for excellent service as well as a delicious meal and a pleasant evening. when we arrived, they did not have us on the list of the reservations of opentable. while not necessary, I showed them one of the several confirmations and reminders I had received from opentable. from the beginning, the personal made it clear that there was one table for us and they came through quickly, although they were heavily booked for the evening. on the great service it was nice to have an authentic German evening meal (I had the sour roast, which was a delicious, generous portion of delicate roast beef, sweet bread, friend of the tweezers and sparrows). we'll be back soon.

Whenever we are in taos, we make a point to go to the Bavarian. it is a bit of a trek to get, especially in winter, but it is worth the ride.

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!

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 the tip the meal was close to $150. We wouldn't go back. Sorry
