Eating at Black Forest Steak & Schnitzel Haus gives one the feeling of being transported off the continent to Germany. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and highly recommend this old world gem. With attention to detail, the owners give their guests a truly European experience. The food was tasty. The service timely with the waitresses dressed in German garb. The grounds are lovely with flowers, and water fountain, backing on to a forest in Invermere. Another fantastic feature was the bird room. Patrons could view several different types of birds happily eating, flying, and interacting through large windows. The ambiance is enhanced with hand painted murals, and details, with a memorial to the artist framed by the door. Great for a date night or special occasion. Thank you for this lovely experience. Highly recommend!

An authentic taste of home! Black Forest Steak and Schnitzel Haus transported me back to Germany with every delightful bite. The food was absolutely delicious, reminiscent of the flavors I grew up with. The cozy ambiance and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. From the scrumptious schnitzels to the mouthwatering Bratwurst , every dish was a delightful journey to my roots. A true gem that captured the essence of Germany. Highly recommend to all, especially fellow Germans seeking a taste of home away from home! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇩🇪🍖🍽️

We really had a good time here. The food was very good, and the place itself is very unique with an awesome history. We sat next to the bird sanctuary, and it was a treat for my little ones. Our service was slow, but we were there a little late, and in the aftermath of an apparently super busy night. My wife and I would have written it off as relaxed service, but the kids got restless. Birds saved the evening.

Black Forest Steak is an imaginative, almost magical restaurant nestled in the outskirts of Invermere. The interior and exterior decoration is reminiscent of an old school fairy tale, with colorful depictions of the zodiac, birds, plants and animals. Be forewarned, there's a bit of a dress code (no hats, dress somewhat nicely). The tables are set with linen and charming little candles. They've got an extensive wine list, and a traditional menu. I ordered the rouladen, gently roasted beef wrapped around pickles, onions, and mustard. It came with spatzle (homemade noodles) red cabbage, and veggies. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the stuffed chicken breast, which came with the same sides. We both enjoyed our meals immensely. Service was attentive and brisk. It was quite busy, so there wasn't a ton of interaction, but that's to be expected in a packed restaurant. To their credit, one of the waitresses took the time to take a few pictures of us, which we really appreciated. If you're in Invermere, this is a can't miss experience. It's kid-friendly, and just a wonderful time in general.

Outstanding place to eat. Great all around. Yes, a bit pricey if you get desserts but I loved everything we've ordered. Great selection of beer, great portions, and very friendly and helpful staff. Everything tasted great and service was outstanding. Thank you for feeding hungry souls after a day of exploring beautiful Kootenays.

A fun place to see with the family! Albeit a little on the pricy side. I'm general, an overall pretty alright experience. The food was good but the portions were a little... "little" for the price. In any case, after parking you head up a few stairs, past a water feature and flower garden. As you walk through the large wooden (possibly hand crafted!) door, you're immediately greeted by welcoming staff who take you to an open table. The staff all wear fun, German themed outfits/uniforms that really do help visitors enjoy the experience! We tried a variety of things to make sure we covered the menu. The only item we didn't get to try was seafood, in particular the salmon soup. It was described to us as, "if you're a fan of salmon you'll love it! Otherwise, it's mighty strong." A nearby table had it and was quite impressed with it! The majority (if not all of the menu items) are made locally in house, from the red cabbage to sauerkraut, the available soups to the Black Forest cake. While on the topic of Black Forest cake... it looks lovely and tasted fine... however I had expected it to be THE Black Forest cake of all Black Forest cakes (the restaurant is ACTUALLY named "The Black Forest". Alas, it was not. The slice was fairly small for $10.50 and I'm not sure there was a single whole cherry anywhere. I was somewhat expecting a fifth of a full cake to be honest. But, to be fair, it was very flavourful and the cherry sauce on the plate was a wonderfully delicious addition. As for the building itself, there is plenty to see from the great artwork of Alfred Temmel to the taxidermised wildlife. There is even a room in the centre of the building with a hardwood "dance floor" that you can whisper up into then the sound bounces back and can be clearly heard by those underneath the dome! Dance it up while you're there. Great fun! I'm glad we went but can't say we'd make an effort to go again, but don't take my word for it.

The atmosphere is really unique inside. It’s very old fashioned with stuffed wild animals on the wall. Reservations are a must. We went there on a Wednesday night and they were turning people away without reservations. We substituted chicken for some of the pork options. The chicken schnitzel was very good. It doesn’t say it on the menu but it’s possible. The French onion soup was good but a little small. The Black Forest cake was very yummy!

My wife and I have driven by this restaurant for years talking about how we will stop to eat here on the next trip. Well, we decided to stop in this weekend and it was worth it. The food and service are second to none, with old country interior decor that will impress you.

We LOVED the food and atmosphere and drinks etc! Service was not great we waited 25 mins to even see our server again after we received our food. The other staff was great except for our server who seemed to not forget us but she forgot other tables as well. Will go back for the food. October 28/23

This is comfort food to the max! We had the 3 course deal which was the best bang for your buck. Everything tasted amazing. Schnitzel was the best I ever had. The portions are huge. You will not leave hungry. And for dessert, bread pudding with rum raisin ice cream .. To. Die. For. It was mostly an older crowd here.. but they have great taste! You can't go wrong with meat and potatoes 👌🏻 service was immaculate (hard to find these days). It is on the pricier side but worth it for a unique experience. Tip: I'm not sure if people do this but there are definitely cooler areas to dine in the restaurant. There is an aviary that you can eat beside and I would request that if I came back. Also the room with all the hunted animals, not sure if that is only the bar area. But that would be a cool place to dine as well!

We ordered the duck and a schnitzel. The food was amazing, we walked out of there super full. Had a great experience at this place. They also have really cute birds.

Neat high-end restaurant in Invermere with exceptional service and a European atmosphere. You need a reservation. Had the evening special that included Chicken Spatzel soup, Breaded Pork Schnitzel with red cabbage and mash potatoes and a peppercorn sauce, and dessert was blueberry cake with Black cherry ice cream. Had a Stella Artois to drink. Delicious. 😋

Servers were friendly. Food was great and tasty! Apple strudel dessert was yummy!!!

We had a delicious 3 course meal special for a very reasonable $34.95. The soup starter was just right followed by Parmesan schnitzel with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Everything was hot and fresh and perfectly cooked. The dessert - carrot cake with rum raisin ice cream was also delicious and although we were stuffed it was hard to stop eating the carrot cake. The server was excellent - friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

German style dishes that makes you feel like you’re in Europe. I had the duck for main dish and the escargots as appetizer. They are delicious! It is the most popular restaurant in town that always full house during summer weekends. Staffs are pretty helpful and have good attitude.

It is a good place to eat. Excellent environment. Old fashion style. Great food. Not a 5 stars but a solid 4 stars

I grew up going here once every summer with my family, so it has always held a special place in my heart. It has such a fun atmosphere, and the food is amazing (their spätzle is second only to my mom’s). When I found out I had IBS and gluten and onion, among other things, had been causing my flare-ups, I was devastated. I was sure I would not be able to eat here anymore, as many restaurants have not made it easy to find safe food for me to eat. I was wrong! The service here is always phenomenal, but they went above and beyond! I informed the server of my intolerances, and they said the kitchen could work around it! I had the fluffiest gluten-free bun of my life, and the most delicious schnitzel and pan-fried potatoes. They were so accommodating and so kind, I can’t recommend it enough!
