We stopped by this restaurant by “accident”. We had absolutely no idea what to expect. We walked in and it became quite clear. A classic Bavarian style restaurant. The service was quite good, the food was tasty, and overall we had a great experience. This is the type of place that has stayed consistently traditional for decades. If you want a nostalgic experience and a blast from the past, this is a great place to experience what dining in the mid-eighties at a Bavarian restaurant would have been like. Try them out.
One of the few restaurants open on Christmas. The food and atmosphere has a home cooked feel which is comforting.Food: 3/5
I use to go there often and it was great all the time. Then because it change ownership, it lost its charms and some changes weren't the right ideas. I went again few nights ago, and everything is going back the way it was. The food is still delicious, it has a new waiter, very experienced for that place but is what the place need right now. He told us that the owner is going back to its roots, and this pleased us a lot. Give it another chance, it deserves it after all.
We didn't even get to eat in due to current conditions, but we had a fantastic dinner take out for my wife's birthday. I had the bratwurst and she had cordon bleu and we were very satisfied. The portions were so big, we have potatoes and slaw for leftovers! The quality of the food was delicious and very filling. Can't wait to go back and eat inside, as the interior looks very well maintained and has great character.
Our craving for good, old-fashioned Germanic fare was amply satisfied by the Combination plate which features schnitzel, bratwurst, rouladen, spaetzle and red cabbage. The chalet's interior is well appointed with wood features which are reminiscent of earlier times and the servers were attentive and friendly.
There’s a reason this place has been around for 30 years. The food is GOOD!! We indulged in a couple schnitzels and I have to say, damn good! We are DT regulars for dining and decided to give this a try for the hell of it. The cheese toast was better than Hy’s . Excellent service and excellent food! So glad we made the drive and will be doing so again. Do yourself a favor, if you’re looking for some authentic cooking, come HERE!!
New Year’s Eve. Reservation was at 6pm. We were seated after 10 minutes, by 640pm, still nobody had come to take drink order. Finally at 7pm we ordered dinner at 755pm still no dinner, we asked several times and were told it was coming. Customers seated 45 minutes after us had already gotten their food. After 2 hours of waiting we left. There were 4 of us, we had one drink, no food because it never came and the bill was still over $90. This was our New Years Eve dinner and the whole experience was so poor. Will never be back. The manager was too busy to speak with us, inexcusable!!
The schnitzel was good. The service was excellent.... Very attentive. The chicken pot pie was disappointing... We should have gotten the chicken strips for our son. He was excited to have the chicken pot pie though, but it was like a bowl of pie innards with a little rectangle of pie crust, almost like a bun sitting on the side. He tried it, but didn't eat it because he didn't like it at all. We brought it home in hopes that someone will eat it. I was disappointed because I called ahead saying that it was a special dinner.... One of our international students who was staying with us, from Germany, was leaving the following day. She chose this restaurant as her final meal. I told the gentleman I spoke with on the phone all of this, however it wasn't acknowledged in any way while we were there. Not even, "hey, who's from Germany? Have a safe trip home! Thanks for choosing Elizabeth's as your final dinner." Nothing. That was very disappointing.
This place has a very nice interior. Out of all the places in the Vancouver area this felt the most like home Germany. The service is friendly and fast. The starters were a bit small for the price but tasted good. Only the bread of the smoked salmon was very hard. The mains are great. Good quality ingredients well prepared. Only a bit of salt was missing across everything we had, bit that seems to be a common theme in most german restaurants in the area. Beer selection on tap is limited to the usual two suspects in the Krombacher lineup. It's decent beer, though, so all good there. Overall, we will be back, but next time no more starters. The main dishes are so big you won't need starters anyway.
We went for Valentines dinner and it was an hour before they took our order and another hour for the food to arrive. The staff were very nice but extremely busy. We have been there before and the service and food have always been good. Not sure if we'll go back again or not.
