    A slightly different restaurant in the style of Aruba's tourists restaurants. The decoration, music and the service were very authentic. A good German beer is always welcome and refreshing we enjoyed to drink it after a long hot day. In general the food was good and served in large portions as you get in Bavaria Germany. But, i score it only with 4 **** because the sausages were with an industrial taste and not with homemad tasted as expected. On the other hand, the schnitzel was very tasty. The service was very friendly and welcoming, as for bottom line - we enjoyed the dinner.

    A hidden gem 💎. If you like German food served by very nice Germans, this is the place. Reasonable prices. Don't know what to recommend since everything is good. Just order what you like best and a nice German beer and you will leave happy 😊

    Delicious food, very friendly people. We had a few types of schnitzels along with Apple strudel for desert. Food did not take long to come out at all. A favorite place to return when back in Aruba, for sure.

    Thought I was back in Germany 🇩🇪. The service is outstanding. They will explain any questions you have on the dishes. Wide verity of German beers 🍻, wine 🍷 and liquor. The real deal straight from the home land. This is our 2nd trip and will return every time we visit Aruba 🇦🇼. You can not go wrong eating at this restaurant.

    As usual this German restaurant is a staple when I visit Aruba. Peter and his staff are always friendly and welcoming and even ordered me my Lemon Schofferhofer beer that you can't get in the states. I ordered the Jager- schnitzel and mushroom sauce that is too die for. You won't go wrong with this restaurant.

    We Get together every year this time to celebrate oktober/Novemberfest with Schweinshaxe done the proper way, crunchy outside almost falling of the bone inside, in a German atmosphere. Did I mention German beer.

    Bavaria isn’t the typical restaurant you will see walking around the Noord or Palm Beach area however it won’t disappoint. The food is both reasonably priced and absolutely delicious and authentic. The staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly and made us feel at home as we ate at the restaurant. This restaurant is definitely worth going to while you’re here in Aruba

    Authentic German food. Very casual/laid back restaurant. Good beer and good food! Food smelled so good I could barley snap a picture!

    The food was fantastic. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because the restaurant takes 15% gratuity upfront for the staff, which is fine. But, they also tried to take the tip we left for our waitress, who said they don't give them their tips. Shame on you!

    We decided to stop here for dessert after a less-than-spectacular visit to Smokey Joe's, and it was a nice dessert spot for me, as well as a nostalgia plug for my wife, who lived for 1.5 years in Germany serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our server (who I think is the owner) was a very friendly German man who provided prompt service. We got Apple Strudel with vanilla ice cream and sparkling apple juice. The dessert was tasty but not mind-blowing, and the drinks were good as well. I would love to come back and try the actual German dinners.

    I have to admit that my score and impression is very subjective. My expectations were fairly high: this is a known place, very busy most of times. I like Bavarian - style restaurants! Beer and sausages - what can go wrong? Apparently - a lot! One would expect many, many draft beer choices in a beer restaurant. Bavaria had one: Heineken. A selection of bottled beers was also significantly poorer than in other, similar style places. The food choices were quite traditional. The Wurst plate that I selected turned out not to my taste at all. It tasted like regular sausages bought in a near supermarket and boiled quickly. Nothing worth going to a restaurant. The worst part was waiting. The place was very, very understaffed and we - like everyone else - had to wait for more than one hour for our, quite simple, order.

    My family had a great time here - wonderful beer selection, AMAZING food, and great atmosphere. Peter the owner was friendly and pointed us to some great beer. This is a gem of a restaurant in Aruba and my favorite meal so far.

  • 5/5 Jacob C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has great pretzels, food and most of all..the best beer! The owner even gave me an authentic german beer carrier to take some beer back to the hotel with. I actually took it home as a souvenir!! Would highly recommend checking this place out.

  • 5/5 Taryn T. 8 months ago on Google
    Had dinner here tonight... It was delicious. Had the jäeger schnitzel with mash and green beans with bacon. For dessert, it was apfelstrudel and ice cream. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the Palm Beach area... Swing by.

  • 5/5 Darren H. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my first time visiting Bavaria and I only dranks some dark beers this evening. My first beer this evening was the Erdinger which is a flavourful dark wheat beer. The second beer that I drank was the Köstritzer which is very light tasting and refreshing (I would suggest to start with this one first if you wish to try the other dark beers). The third beer that I drank was the Aventinus Eisbock which was very flavourful. Wine drinkers would like this beer since it has notes of figs and berries which makes you think of port wine(sip it right after opening to experience the taste and then take small sips while warms up a little to room temperature, that way the fruity notes will be more noticable). This one is was the strongest one with 12% alcohol by volume. The last beer that I drank is the Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen which tasted very smokey! Is was strange and delicious and you can feel as if someone is making BBQ nearby if you smell inside of your glass after drinking the beer. I will definitely visit again!

    Excellent food. The quality, service and price is outstanding If you are staying at a hotel, I encourage you to order "room service" from Bavaria. The meals are tremendous and the cost is the same or less! You can't go wrong.

    Peter was so accommodating for my large party following my wedding. Everyone had a great time and the food was tasty as always. Will continue coming here every time I am in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Alex 8 months ago on Google
    We were in Aruba last week with a group of 30 celebrating my wedding and we had a wonderful dinner at Bavaria. They accommodated all 30 of us and Peter, our server (and I believe owner?), was so fun and made the experience incredible. Food was delicious and quick and they had no problem splitting our checks the way we asked. Would highly recommend checking this place out!!!!

    We dined at the restaurant. Service was great. The food was fantastic. Everything we tried was awesome (chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy and spaetzel, sauerbraten, etc.. We enjoyed the food so much we ordered a to go (goulash) for lunch tomorrow-cant wait to try it!!! Highly recommend this place for authentic German food!

    Great place. Very nice people. The food and atmosphere are both excellent. I've gone there twice. Same great experience each time. If you are looking for a quite place away from the tourist crowd, this is your place.

    I know this may seem hard to understand but my husband and i love this place so much we cant wait to visit Aruba often just to come here for dinner. We always come at least 2 to 3 times when we are in Aruba. Best schnitzle and very best spatzle and the very best apple strudel.. we always start with potato pancakes. Best beer and wine .. until u go u may not understand how nice the people r and how great the food is.

    We went here tonight. What a great experience. The beer selection is superb. We told the servers that we wanted to relax and enjoy our time here. They did not rush us. The food was great and I had the best apple schnapps ever! The owner came to our table and was very helpful and courteous. We will definitely be back!

    Best place for beer in aruba.

  • 4/5 Sonja W. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful beer selection. This spot was recommended by friends and is very small and quaint. Outside seating and bar seating available. Ordered the Cheese Soup and the fish and both were tasty. Highly recommend if you eat meat (I am a pescatarian so I do not) but overall everything thing I ate was tasty and the service was on point. WIFI available upon request.

    Nice place!! Good beer!! Good food!!

  • 2/5 Stefan J. 3 years ago on Google
    The Beer I asked for was not available, Krombacher, Konig auch nicht. A German restaurant without these beers, is that a German restaurant??!!!---? The food is average, really nothing special./ Beside Krombacher and Konig there was also no Bitburger. And this should be a "German restaurant"....
