Gillitzer's - Ruhpolding

Great terrace, lovely restaurant fabulous meal tonight at Gillitzers, on the recommendation of the owners of our rental apartment. They were not wrong we sat on a warm evening on an elegant terrace, with gorgeous food to choose from (recommend the spinach knödel...and the venison burger and the apple fritters were TO DIE FOR). Service was excellent with friendly staff on hand to deal with my daughter’s nosebleed.... if we weren’t leaving day after tomorrow, we’d go back.

We have been to several restaurants on our visit in Ruhpolding that had good TA ratings but this one was tops. The food had a great presentation and the quality and taste was excellent. The service was tops with great atmosphere with all the amenities...of fine dining at a moderate price. We had a party of 6 that represented 5 different entrees and everyone was very pleased. This one deserving of a repeat visit.

We visited mid March 2016 late in the ski season just before the Easter holidays based on a TA search for likely places to eat in Ruhpolding. The interior and atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. We came early in the evening and for a while...were the only guests. Service was friendly and efficient and unobtrusive We had the 3 course fixed menu starter salads (ok) and bread (great with a butter/berry mix amazing) main (salmon, asparagus, tagliatelle) was a bit disappointing we do just as well or better at home desert (pannacotta) very good So overall it was ok but the food did not quite match the quality of the service or the interior

We ate here every evening (except on Tuesday when it is closed, except for breakfast to hotel guests) on a half board basis with Thomson. The breakfast was a buffet of cereals, bread, fruit, yogurt, cake, salad and various hot offerings. The evening meal consisted...of a soup, buffet salad, main and dessert. The food was well presented and always hot. The service is excellent and the food was delicious (only main I didn 't rate was the 'vegetarian curry ' which is not the same as a curry here in the UK). The venison burgers were a favourite of ours.

We have eaten here three times during our stay and have found the food to be exceptional. Great service and presentation. You can eat inside or in the quaint garden area looking over the mountains.
