German restaurant
Beer hall
Hahndorf Inn is a charming German restaurant housed in a historic two-story 1863 hotel with exposed stone walls and a wood-paneled ceiling. The restaurant offers hearty German cuisine, creating an inviting atmosphere for diners. With free wifi and outdoor seating available, it's an ideal spot to enjoy traditional German dishes such as pork neck and sausages.
We had been to Hahndorf Village during Good Friday 2025. Beautiful township, but too full of tourists on the day due to Easter holidays and a nightmare in terms of parking space. After 20 mins, we managed to find a street parking and then set off to walk around the village on foot. With a few mins, we realised that whatever we saw of the village and fall colours (which is a big selling point of tourism here) while driving around was the best approach to see the village in the otherwise crowded town on that day. Soon we gave up walking and hit the Hahndorf Inn, which was in my list of place to eat and drink the craft German beers. I ordered the beer paddle to taste the produce of their brewery, got the Fest, Helles, Hefe, Berliner, and Dunkel. The Berliner was a new type of beer I tasted, quite like the raspberry after taste but settled on the Hefe. Ordered the schnitzel, hotdog and fish and chips as mains and affogato dessert. Even though the restaurant was packed to capacity, the food came in fairly quick within 20 mins. The food served had big portions of food and chips, and the price was reasonable (I am from Sydney, everything looks reasonable in comparison!) with an extra surcharge for Easter. The beers tasted divine with the food, so got me an extra 6 pack of hefes to-go. The service staff were busy but were not being impolite of hurrying the customers, had a smile on them showing that they loved the crowd. Overall a great place and def recommended for dine in and the craft German beers they make in the German township of Hahndorf.

Food was great however the service was slow but friendly. The atmosphere was nice but was really looking for a more authentic German feeling to create some ambience with the food. We heard the German music coming from another venue which made us wish we went there :( To be fair though, the restaurant was very nice and clean and if I were the staff there, listening to German music every shift would be like being stuck listening to Christmas carols and it was during winter in the off season so it wasn't terribly busy.
Enjoyed the meal with German vibes. The menu had a wide selection of German specialties including German Bier. 🙂
We ordered The Hahndorf Inn Deluxe to get a taste of a bit of everything. I think it’s a good size to share between four people, with the six of us, we added extra pretzels and a Sausage Board. 🙂
The highlight was the Pork Hock. Crispy skin and tender meat was satisfying. Other meat on the plate was fine, nothing to rave about. 😗
The Sausage board was a bit underwhelming since the sausages were all boiled, they tasted quite bland and boring. 😏
I still recommend this place because of the great vibes and great service. Pork Hock and chargrilled sausages is the way to go. 😌
I was excited to attend here as I like beer especially if brewed locally, and I was looking forward to some German style food. Unfortunately our experience was average at best. The service was poor with staff difficult to get a hold of; at times it looked like they were actively avoiding eye contact whilst doing busy work it was a mission to even get a takeaway container. Worse still, the facilities are poor - I am male and wished to change my child's nappy, only to be informed that the only change table is in the female bathroom - extremely backwards and restrictive - and it appears there was no disabled bathroom. The food came out pretty quickly and was good, with huge portion sizes meaning we filled up and had leftovers. The pork was quite good with good crackling. I'd like to return but perhaps I'll attend a different venue in Hahndorf next time.
The food is tasty and quite enjoyable.
However, the dining experience could be improved: the plates were oily, and at lunchtime there was no staff to greet or guide guests, so you had to find a seat yourself. Many tables were left uncleared after previous customers, and the suitable seats that remained still had water on them. Drinking water and cups also needed to be taken by the customers themselves.
Overall, the dishes are worth recommending, but with more attention to service and cleanliness, the experience could be much better.
Had a lovely dinner with friends and we were tucked away in a little nook that made it feel like we had our own private space. It was pretty quiet when we arrived and didn't get very full but the other side was busy. The pretzels were absolute perfection. I think we could have eaten them all night. My schnitzel was huge and the mushroom sauce was delicious. The staff were lovely and helpful and we had a fantastic time.
Took the bus out here while on holiday and found this place for lunch. A couple of guys on piano accordions lured us stop and listen and the menu and free table at lunch time were just what we needed. Great food and beverages, friendly staff and musical entertainment. Definitely worthwhile checking the place out if you are here.
Had a fantastic German lunch here with the fam with big appetites. Crispy pork knuckle variety of wursts mash sauerkraut & gravy. Icy Cold beer & paddles to try a variety of German beers. Friendly staff & helpful regarding choice of beers. The outdoor seating was beautiful under the vines.

The cafe Herbees Garden Cafe is a popular spot in the town for locals and visitors alike. The food is delicious and well presented, with options including smashed avocado, vegan cookie and cream milkshake, and Hahndorf bratwurst. The service can be excellent, particularly when visited with a grandmother after Christmas.
Cute cottage like feel. Food is nice. Art on the wall out back that you can take photos with.

Now this was a bit disappointing. The breakfast was average and the presentation of it was a bit depressing.
I must say I was expecting a bit more here.
We had two Big Breakfasts and two large flat white coffees and it cost us $51.80, so not to expensive but I guess you get what you pay for.
I probably won't return as the are many other establishments in Hahndorf that over a better all round meal.
I have been multiple times and have never been disappointed by the service or quality of the food. My favourite choices are the chicken burger and the big breakfast. This time, I tried the Trio of Sausages and the Vegan Ramen. The food was delicious! I will definitely be coming back and trying more from the menu. The Cafe is set in a small and quiet cottage which is a lovely setting for a brunch. It is decked out with all sorts of different artwork to look at while waiting for the food to be served. I have also enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and watching over the busy main street. The staff are always friendly and attentive too. I highly recommend this beautiful little Cafe.
The Vegan Food is Delicious, the coffee and fresh juice was amazing. (my wife said it was the best coffee of the year)
Some of the Friendliest service we've received in a very long time and Who in their right mind can resist a Pastry Cabinet fully Stocked with freshly delivered Claras Cakes?
Today we sat outside in the back garden, it was so lovely! We came for the vegan options and loved everything. So delicious! Staff were lovely, and we can’t wait to come back again! Thankyou :) - highly recommend this beautiful little gem in Hahndorf!
Cozy place for inexpensive but good quality, prepared food. Simple menu doesn't overwhelm you.
Absolutely nice the atmosphere and the decor feel welcoming, service is great and coffee is delicious, we had the beef burgers they are I would say to die for, home made style and sweet potato fries are delicious.
Quite possibly the best “mushrooms on toast” ever. Service was friendly and coffee was delicious. And loads of dietary options if you require. Would absolutely recommend!

The Haus Restaurant in Hahndorf, located at the heart of the Adelaide Hills, offers a lively and rustic-chic dining experience. With a patio for al fresco dining, this spot serves up German specialties, breakfast options, and pizzas alongside an extensive selection of wines. The restaurant prides itself on showcasing an impressive array of dishes crafted from locally sourced produce.
We always enjoy having our lunch at The Haus Restaurant every time we have a day at Hahndorf. The service and food are always great. We took our dog this time and we could also order some doggy biscuits for our fur baby. The staff was very kind to provide clean water for our dog without asking. I think this is the restaurant everyone has to try at least once when you are there. Maybe book before you go. They are very busy.

This place is lovely if your looking to go out for dinner. The food is great and so if the service. If you're come with the family it can be a little pricey but worth it.
I strongly recommend booking a table.
Will definitely return.
DELICIOUS authentic German food, 5 star service and wonderful atmosphere. Shout out to all the friendly staff, especially Jessica! She made our dining experience memorable and wonderful. Love to come back here again for our next trip.
This is an absolute must do on your trip to Hahndorf. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was vibrant a real German feel. The service was what made our visit so special, we were served by Eliana who was the most hospitable, friendly and welcoming waitress. She knew the menu details so well and made sure we were very well looked after. The food was incredible. We loved it so much that we are heading back again very soon!
“Wow” you have simply outdone yourselves!!
Without a doubt ,the most exceptional tasting food and friendliest, attentive service from wait staff, I have ever experienced in Australia. My family from Western Australia agreed. Our go to place every time we are in Adelaide. It’s worth the 5 hour drive 🙏
Came to The Haus Restaurant on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad about came here. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was served quickly, with no waiting at all. There is bar area also. And the staff were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, perfect for a nice meal without any rush. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking for great food and a pleasant vibe.
The Haus Restaurant – ★★★★☆
Wow! 😍 The Pumpkin Salad alone deserves five stars! 🎃🥗 So tender, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor, absolutely delicious!
What we loved:
• Perfectly cooked pumpkin—soft, tender, and flavorful 🎃✨
• Fresh, vibrant ingredients that complement each other beautifully 🥗💛
• Cozy, welcoming atmosphere 🍴😊
What we tried:
• Trio of Wurst 🌭🌭🌭: three popular German sausages, packed with medium flavor and perfectly cooked
Tip: Don’t miss the pumpkin salad, it’s a must-try! 🌟😋💛
Thank you 😊
Haus has been my go-to in Hahndorf for nearly a decade. While I still enjoy it, the quality has dropped a little over time - some meals arrive cold, the fish and chips portions vary, and certain dishes lack flavour. I usually stick with the chicken schnitzel (sometimes the mushroom sauce is a bit greasy), as many other options feel a bit hit or miss. It’d be great to see more beef sausage options too, for those who don’t eat pork. That said, their desserts and pizzas are decent! I’ve added photos from different visits

Magical atmosphere of cuckoo clocks and old school tin toys.
I was so busy playing with the samples that I forgot to take more photos.

Great little gift shop in the centre of Handorf. Wide range of traditional gifts including Cuckoo Clocks. Well worth even a look.
You’ll absolutely fall in love with this shop… traditional German clocks, nutcrackers, a huge selection of Christmas gifts and souvenirs…
Service was super friendly and helpful!
A must visit when you’re in Harndorff
We visited the shop today which is known for it cuckoo clocks. The staff were very friendly and started one of the clocks for us so that we could hear it. There was a huge range of clocks and German crafts on display including wooden toys, Christmas decorations, glassware as well as the cuckoo clocks on the wall.
Cuckoo clocks start from $170 for a small clock.
There are a few small items that you could purchase for under $15 such as the keying with the cowbell on it.
The staff were dressed in traditional German clothing And we’re very friendly.
The shop was accessible and very easy to move around in.
A great gift shop filled with fantastic Christmas gift items, the shelves are briming with all things festive, its about mid way along the beautiful main road in Hahndorf, you must see this German village/town settled in the.mid 1800's, a truly amazing place.
A great little shop to get all those German goodies at quite reasonable prices. (Strangely comparable to the German Christmas markets).
Location and Layout: (5/5)
Smack on the main road makes it easy to access and get to. The store from outside looks small, but when inside it is laid out well with a center billing area and all the sections around making it easy to navigate even with more people.
Assortment: (4/5)
A really great range of products to choose from. Love the fact that it is Christmas all year round for some of the sections. They also have the Swiss cow bells if you fancy. They do have cuckoo clocks which are really well made. We picked one up and are very happy with it. Packed well for long journeys as well.
Service: (5/5)
Excellent, the staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything that is in the store. They were helpful with choosing and packing things well.
Summary: (4.5/5)
All in all a great little store to visit and pick things up in especially around the Christmas season.
A charming store with some nice Hahndorf memorabilia. Smelt lovely inside the store, like Christmas!
Amazing store! I haven't seen steins outside of Germany before so was wonderful to look at the range they had available. The cuckoo clocks are incredible - so many on display. The lady here has her work cut out for her to pull the levers all the time!

Beerenberg Farm, located in Hahndorf, is a family-owned attraction that offers the opportunity to pick fresh strawberries from November to April. Visitors can enjoy the experience of hand-picking their own sweet strawberries for a small entry fee. The farm also features traditional crops such as sweet corn and mixed vegetables.
The environment is really comfortable and welcoming.
The food is amazing.
I ordered a big brekkie and it is worth every penny. It can feed two people easily in my opinion.
It is 1000% worth it to buy any jam, it has an incredible flavour.
The strawberry chocolate is so good, as a strawberry fan I highly recommend.
Toilets very clean and aesthetic.
Plenty of parking.
Staff is very friendly.
I would love to come back during strawberry harvesting season.

Very good place to stop whilst in Handorf. Strawberry picking available when in season. In the shop there is a cafe available serving drinks and food. In the shop there is a wide range of jams and other products available, for reasonable prices. Well worth a stop. Good sized car park outside.
Strawberry picking was absolutely amazing especially with the kids. By far the sweetest juiciest strawberries I’ve ever eaten (eating straight after picking it was the best). Definitely worth going when it’s the season and be ready for a long day out of walking too!
The restaurant crowded of people. The menu selection is quite simple and specialist.
Seperate into 2 section. The meal area consist ice cream order. The shop area sell variety of products.
Order do it in the counter and remember to tell your table number. Food and drink will be deliver to table. The lamb pie, smokey, bacon & eggs is good. Free flow of water is self service, get the cup and bottle of water from the counter.
Beerenberg Family Farm is a great spot for a day out. The strawberry picking is fun. After picking, the farm shop is well worth a visit. I did a lot of shopping there and stocked up on their fresh jams and local products, all excellent in quality. The place is very well run and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s a simple, enjoyable experience that feels genuine and well cared for. A great place to relax, pick strawberries, and take home something delicious.
strawberry picking in beerenberg farm fun day hahaha
you can do strawberry picking here but only during Nov to Apr, honestly the ticket is very valuable you can visit strawberry farm and taste a bit, but sadly the strawberry not sweet at all…still a funny experience in hahndorf
they have a cafe shop insides with some green plants hanging, quite good environment and the shop next too
only bad thing today is keep raining in between we have to stay under the tree to cover ourselves lolll hahaha
Beerenberg farm
rating of mine: 4.3
Nice relaxing walk from Hahndorf Inn, saw some cows. Strawberry picking not yet started, so we had ice cream & cookies, & browsed at the shop.
The new barn is modern and high-end, and I found the mini museum quite interesting. Although the strawberry patch was closed today, the café was still bustling with people. As part of our mystery trail experience, we collected our meal base and had a quick browse through the shop before leaving.
If we hadn’t already had lunch, this would’ve been a lovely spot for a meal—perfect for brunch or lunch in the Adelaide Hills. That said, I feel like Beerenberg Farm has lost some of the charm and personal touches that used to make it such a special place. Little things, like being personally greeted by staff, seem to be missing now.

The inn offers an array of delectable treats including snags, pretzels, homemade cakes, and acclaimed coffee. Additionally, they serve Belgian dishes such as hotdogs and mussels with a French twist.
We had a wonderful lunch here! Even though it was quite busy, the service was quick and very friendly. I ordered a chai latte and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had, so full of flavour and perfectly balanced. The food was delicious too, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!

Sooo good! Love this place! They have the best coffee and best brunch options. We got the captain Hahndorf breakfast and the banana pancakes. Their beesting pastry is really good too! You must eat here if you are in Hahndorf
Their sign out front said "best coffee" so had to try, they were right it was the best coffee, the food was delicious and the staff were helpful, very friendly and s great atmosphere, thoroughly recommend this Cafe.
We asked Pizza with less cheese and pleasr check the photo- cheese is flowing everywhere. We spoke to the wait staff and he said the chef put half the cheese. I spoke to the manager as well she said the chef put half the cheese. They both were lying. We.asked for replacement or refund they refused, very rude behaviour. They both were not chef but said 50% cheese- how do they know so much and how can they speak with that much surety. We asked if we can speak to the chef- which they said no. Very bad experience. Do not recommend anyone to go. The issue is they have big attitude. They have a clear policy that the customer is wrong. We ordered food worth almost $170- 4 people, which is not a small sum. Anyway think about it before going there. Also the cleanliness is an issue- there cutlery and glasses are also not cleaned properly- be careful, You do not want to get SICK with Hepatitis B (as per my knowledge there is no cure for it). am going to lodge complaint with health department and the council.
Sorry I couldn't rate less then 1
Chance upon this plc when I was in this Rustic German town looking for a plc to have coffee.
I am amazed how good the coffee was… as good as those cafes in Melbourne. And the staff recommended their in house baked apple strudel. And it didn’t disappoint either!
Plc had a fire place as it was winter… so it does has vibes of an inn within a folk town
And on my way out… that I saw this plc is also award winning cafe…
We visited the place 2 times and on both occasions we were very satisfied.
Be aware of the portion size. Most tables cannot finish and take away.
The cake left for 2 to 3 days should be sold at half price.
Stopped at the German Inn for breakfast and left extremely happy, it was so cosy with both fireplaces lit and lots to look at. Service was friendly, prices very reasonable. I had Veggie Big Brekkie, couldn't believe how tasty and fresh it was. Added on a Vienna sausage was so yum. Husband had the Assiette Big Breaky and loved it. Will be coming back on our next visit !!
Had the best breakfast imaginable. Great food good price what more do you need.

Vine and Essen is a modern bistro and wine bar located in the historic town of Hahndorf. The venue offers a charming blend of old-world appeal and contemporary style, with an expansive front deck that provides an ideal setting for brunch or dinner during the warmer months. What sets this spot apart is its impressive 15-page drinks menu, featuring a wide selection of wines, spirits, and cocktails.
A lovely place for breakfast. The menu is small but adaptable with multiple add-ons, including a delicious gluten-free toast. I ordered 'Eggs Your Way' with GF toast, a hashbrown, and mushrooms (pictured), which came to me beautifully presented, which speaks highly to the care of the chef. The wait staff were lovely and knowledgeable around coeliac when I asked for gf bread.

We celebrated my Mum’s birthday last night 28/12/24 and she could not have been happier. The atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant was beautiful with some heritage charm. A special thank you to Cara as my Mum could not stop saying how wonderful your service and attention were.
Food presentation was lovely and there were no food delays at all.
The wine list , as expected was extensive and the staff are very knowledgeable….. and patient.
Thank you :)
I had high hopes for this place but it turned out to be a beautiful restaurant with food that just didn’t deliver.
I was really excited to finish my day in Hahndorf at this gorgeous restaurant but I was left disappointed.
First red flag was they recently changed their menu, so the food I saw on Instagram and Google reviews were no longer on the current menu. I also thought their menu was going to be bigger, but there’s only a handful of choices so make sure you check the new menu.
I ordered the chicken, the ribeye steak and a cheeseburger for our son. The ribeye steak was appalling - poor meat quality, for $60 a steak, I felt like it was a total rip off. The cheeseburger was really dry and the meat itself didn’t have flavor. The chicken was so-so - not great and not bad.
While the service and ambiance were delightful, I can’t skip the part of the food just being a total let down.
I hope the owners do something about the quality of the food, the restaurant is far too pretty for it to have subpar meals.
Had lunch just this Sunday outside in the lovely seating in the sun and was absolutely stunned by how good the food was. The king Oyster and Artichoke was beautiful and then couldnt believe it when the Gnocchi al Funghi took mushrooms to a whole new level! Massive compliments to the chef, Gnocc'd it out of the park! We will be back!
Took my mum out for lunch here and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming and warm not in a forced way just genuinely kind. The place itself is small but has a really cozy relaxed feel. It’s the kind of spot you wouldn’t think twice about at first glance, but once you sit down you’re glad you found it.
The food was way better than we expected and clearly made with care. My mum kept commenting on how good everything tasted and she’s usually pretty picky when we eat out. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the whole vibe made it easy to just sit chat and enjoy the moment.
It’s rare to find places like this that feel personal. The attention to detail, the friendly staff, and the quality of the food made it a standout. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s a little gem.
We had an absolutely amazing experience for Father’s Day! What a hidden gem in Hahndorf! Such a gorgeous and spacious venue. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced, and the team were so friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back soon… especially for the truffle fries!
Absolutely adored this hidden gem on Hahndorf Street, one of Adelaide's top spots! 🌟 We ordered coffee, croissants, and wine. I asked for an extra marshmallow, and they generously gave me three! 🥰 The Biscoff croissant was divine, and the wine truly lived up to its name. 🍷🥐 Plus, the coffee was amazing—extra hot, just as I ordered it! ☕🔥 All in all, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend! 😊
Fantastic food, amazing service, there’s not much to fault here.
The staff and kitchen were great about my dietaries (coeliac (gf), dairy intolerance, peanut allergy) and were able to alter the dishes to suit me and went the extra mile by checking back with us about all the substitutions and what we would prefer. I didn’t take a photo of the octopus bruschetta but this was amazing! Especially for those who are gluten free- I have never had gluten free bread this good in my life. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful and a very cute atmosphere sitting outside. Would love to come back again! Thanks Vine & Essen!

Hot dog restaurant
Wunderbar Dog Haus is a great spot to grab a delicious and filling meal at an affordable price. The German Pig hotdog is juicy and flavorful, and the option to customize with free sauces adds to the experience. The retro car decor adds a fun touch to the atmosphere. Visitors are recommended to try their hotdogs, which are perfect for a satisfying lunch. The Pig Dog hotdog is particularly praised for its freshness and quick service, with the sauce bar adding an extra element of enjoyment.
The Bacon and Cheesedog to Rule Them All
This was honestly the best hotdog I’ve ever had — full stop. The bacon was crispy perfection, the cheese melted like a dream, the kransky had that perfect snap, and the bun was soft enough to make angels sing.
The sauce line? Absolute precision. Whoever piped that mustard deserves a medal. Every bite was pure happiness.
They’ve got a sign that says “Probably the best tasting hot dog in the world.” Nah mate — it is the best. Straight-up Adelaide icon status.
Massive respect to the crew — you’ve nailed it. If you haven’t had a Pig Dog yet, sort your life out and get one.

Scott — Google review
The home of the Pig Dog - probably the best tasting hot dog in the world. Apparently.
Given how long I had to wait (while an endless parade of others were served ahead of me despite ordering after me), I was expecting something transcendent. You know, “best in the world” level, as per their own breathless self-promotion.
Is it a passable, edible hot dog? Sure. But does it come anywhere near living up to its own overinflated hype?
Not even close. It’s decent value, I’ll give it that - but ultimately forgettable, painfully average, and absolutely not worth the wait.
A solid “meh” from me.
Absolutely delicious hot dogs with character. No forks or normal hot dogs left when we were here but no matter, was still succulent and delicious. If you don't want to sit down in one of the expansive restaurants on the strip this will do nicely!
Can’t say that this is the best in the best tasting hot dog in the world. But it’s mouthwatering in every bite. Love it.
Fantastic hotdog. For $15 its a steal. High quality sausage, soft bun, delicious sauces. Great little stop. My only suggestion is make sure you ask for the cheese to be melted.
Absolutely delicious hot dogs, excellent quality kranskies. Would definitely eat there again. Although, squeezing the sauce udders was a very.... unique experience
It’s a cool restaurant selling hot dogs and lots of German model cars collection!
Had a nice chat with the lady in the store. Thanks to her, now I know more cool history of this town and Adelaide!
We ordered the pig dog. It’s huge, delicious and very filling!!! I enjoyed my meal and good customer service without doubt!
Oh my goodness, best hot dogs ever! My dad had one without any toppings or sauces and loved it. I had the cheese one with mustard and ketchup and loved it. Great bread, great sausage and fast service! Highly recommend you have your lunch here !

Bakery
Located at the end of Hahndorf's main street, Otto's Bakery is a charming little cafe offering a variety of pastries and cakes. Visitors recommend trying their fruit cake and rave about the delicious pies, particularly highlighting the chunky meat and flavorful gravy. The bakery opens early, making it a great spot for an early breakfast with excellent food at reasonable prices. Customers praise the Cornish pastie, meat pie, vanilla slice, and latte coffee for their exceptional quality.
Stopped by Otto’s Bakery for the first time in years and tried their classic beef pie again... wow, what a difference! It tastes way better than I remember. The filling is rich and flavorful, with a nice balance of seasoning and super tender beef. The pastry was golden and flaky, just the right amount of crunch without being dry. It honestly felt like a big upgrade from what I had years ago. Really glad I gave it another try!

Great pies!
First stop in town was Otto‘s bakery, this gem was just what I was after. I ordered my go to from a bakery, which is a pie, but this time decided to get the lamb and rosemary. I was definitely not disappointed, beautiful big chunks of lamb That were slow cooked, and the rosemary and gravy sauce were delightful. Strongly recommend you try this.
I also got the pretzel which was very tasty but maybe a little doughy for me would be great if it was warmed up, but I didn’t have the chance.
Staff are friendly and there was plenty of room both inside and outside to sit down, but being the Adelaide Hills, it was rainy, so I decided to sit in the dining room off the side Plenty of space to sit over 20 tables. Plus another dozen also out the front undercover if you want.
Chance upon this bakery, and went it to buy some pies, and apple crumble etc.. for my tomorrow’s breakfast in hotel.
There’s an endless walk in of locals buying.. so the food should be of good standard/ quality.
I tried the “bienenstich”, which was recommended by the friendly staff. It was incredible!
The family pies looked fantastic (and great value), but I was passing through on a solo trip so couldn’t try one!
If I’m ever back in South Australia I’ll be making a beeline for Otto’s Bakery!
A lovely place to stop in Hahndorf for something to eat. The kransky pie was very delicious and there was plenty of seating outside with a pleasant view of the main street!
Escape from the hustle and bustle of this busy tourist village street and enjoy a freshly made Baguette, rolls, pies, Baps, cakes and sweet treats. Coffee is good here.
Bakery with lots of yummy treats to eat onsite or take away. We also enjoyed the meatpies. Convenient and easy location right off main road as you leave town.
Stopped in for a quick takeaway breakfast on our way to Monarto. I can't stress how worthwhile of a detour this was.
We got the egg & bacon Brioche, ham & cheese croissant & an apple strudel.
The Brioche had an incredibly fluffy egg (omelette?), with delicious, & locally sourced short cut bacon. Despite the fried toppings, it wasn't greasy at all.
The croissant was light & flakey, with double smoked ham, complimented nicely by the perfectly melted cheese.
Lastly the apple strudel - sweet, without being too sweet. Perfectly sized portion, potentially even being too large. The textures of the different elements come together beautifully in this tasty little treat.
Staff were helpful, quick & efficient, and prices were great for what we got. Will definitely be going back.

Nestled in the charming town of Hahndorf, the German Arms Hotel is a stunning Colonial building that dates back to 1839. This historic venue boasts a delightful veranda and serves up hearty German cuisine alongside classic pub fare. Guests can indulge in traditional dishes like bratwurst sausages and sauerkraut while enjoying an impressive selection of local and German beers, as well as a fine wine list.
Dine in during our visit to Handorf. Good atmosphere with quite a crowd on a Thursday afternoon.
The food portion was big. Oysters were fresh. We ordered pork knuckles for sharing. Love the fries from fish and chips. Overall a nice place to stop for a meal.

I had an excellent experience at the German Arms Hotel Restaurant. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Hahndorf, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal while exploring the area.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a wide range of dishes to choose from — from hearty German classics to lighter options. Every dish was fresh, generous in portion, and full of flavour.
The interior is warm and inviting, combining modern comfort with a traditional German pub feel. It creates a great atmosphere for both casual meals and special occasions.
Of course, the beer selection is outstanding, with plenty of choices to pair perfectly with the food.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend the German Arms Hotel if you’re after great food, excellent beer, and a welcoming atmosphere in a beautiful location. I’ll definitely be back!
The German Arms Hotel is a fantastic spot in Hahndorf and absolutely worth a visit. The building itself is full of charm, with its mix of history and modern touches, and it sets the perfect atmosphere for a hearty meal or a drink with friends.
The food is excellent — big portions, full of flavour, and exactly what you’d hope for from a German pub. The schnitzels are a must-try, perfectly cooked and served with generous sides, and the range of German-inspired dishes makes it easy to find something you’ll love. Pairing the food with one of their beers on tap is the perfect combination.
The drinks list is impressive, with a great selection of both local and German beers, plus wines and cocktails if that’s more your style. Everything feels well thought out and designed to suit the hearty meals they serve.
The service was friendly and efficient, even though the place was busy. Staff were welcoming and made sure everything came out quickly without ever feeling rushed. It’s the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you want to come back.
The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a great mix of locals and visitors enjoying themselves. It’s a great place for families, groups, or couples — there’s a bit of something for everyone.
Overall, the German Arms Hotel is one of those places that nails it on all fronts: delicious food, great drinks, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. A perfect stop when you’re in Hahndorf.
I really love this pub - it’s got a great atmosphere and a warm, welcoming feel.
After a cold and rainy visit to The Farm Barn up the road, we took the opportunity to wrap up the day with an early dinner here (cold, wet, and over being stalked by goats).
The menu is huge - there’s something for everyone - including plenty of options for those craving traditional German fare…or just surviving parenting with a plate of chips.
The portion sizes are generous, so don’t be surprised if you end up asking for a takeaway container.
On this visit, while the food looked fantastic on the plate, it was let down a little by a lack of seasoning and depth of flavour. Our pretzel and chips were also a bit overdone.
That said, we’ll definitely be back - because we really do love it here!
Exceptional place for food, drinks and soaking in the local environment.
- Staff were very efficient and knowledgeable of their products.
- Food service was surprisingly quick.
- Meals were delicious and value for money with portion sizes.
Note: this is a busy establishment but staff were excellent at finding a place to sit and very efficient table at service.
I highly recommend this place if you want to experience Hahndorf and the German culture.
We had lunch here today. Although the place was packed, the staff was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. We were able to order quickly, and our food was served in only about ten minutes. While the food wasn't mind-blowing, it was certainly good enough. The menu offered dishes in the $20+ range, and our bill for two, including drinks, was $54.

The German Arms Hotel – Hahndorf 🇩🇪🍻
Had the $39 dinner buffet and it was absolutely worth it! The prawns were fresh and full of flavour 🍤, the bread was soft and warm 🥖, and the sausages were rich, juicy, and packed with that authentic German taste 🌭🔥.
Booked online using my RAA membership discount, which made it even better value 💵👏. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and welcoming — classic Adelaide Hills charm at its best 🌿.
Staff were friendly and professional, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for hearty food, good value, and a genuine Hills dining experience 😋🙌.
We always stop by here whenever we’re in Hahndorf. We love the food and the great beer options. There is even handy parking at the back of the restaurant. The place is clean, well-kept and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot I would recommend when you visit Hahndorf.

Hahndorf Leathersmith and Bush Gallery is a delightful destination for anyone who appreciates quality leather goods. As you wander through the store, you'll be captivated by the unique atmosphere, where messages from customers around the globe are creatively displayed on pieces of leather. The walls and ceilings adorned with foreign currency add to its charm. Shoppers can find everything from cozy Ugg boots—perfect for winter—to personalized items like custom dog collars crafted during engaging workshops led by skilled artisans.
Hugo has done a great job with complete new foam and leather.
Also the cover as well.
Very happy with advice on leather that would look aged quickly.
Leather interior is 12 months old and just had cover completed.

We were welcomed by a very friendly younger lady. While my partner was looking for dog collars I was waiting outside with our pups until she came and invited me and our fur babies inside. We enjoyed the fire while choosing some nice collar for our pups. Another girl seemed to have an eye for sizes and guessed the right size for our pups.
Thank you for styling our pups 🖤🤎🤍
The owner and staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. The products were of the highest quality, and priced very reasonably.
The fireplace offered a nice moment of respite from the rain, wind and hail outside.
Well worth a visit if you’re in Hahndorf!
What an amazing store. The staff were friendly and I found exactly what I wanted for my Steampunk outfit. Highly recommended.
My husband and I were in Hahndorf recently while on holidays from Sydney. We’ve been looking for a couple of long quilted oilskin coats for our retirement in 4 years. We found the type of coats we were looking for, The Franklin, but not in our size. Thankfully they were able to order the coats for us and post them to Sydney. A big thank you to Leah for her excellent customer service, the coats arrived within the week! This shop is very quirky and has so much charm, love the open fireplace and the uneven floors! An absolute must when visiting Hahndorf.
Gifted a most durable and attractive buff-coloured tote bag (convertible to backpack) that still looks fabulous after 3 years of regular use! Incredible selection of high-quality leather goods in all shapes, colours and sizes. Creams and polishes available to keep your purchases looking attractive. Highly recommended for next visit to this quaint village - located in the hills a short bus ride from Adelaide City
Stopped in for a look around here.
We were greeted by a guy standing in what looked the best spot in the shop.
Right in front of the fire.
After a quick chat we continued further into the shop.
With a massive range of products and fantastic service after making a few purchases we left.
Great products! I love my Heidi jacket and my ridgeback loves her coat too! Best thing about this shop is the exceptional service. I have been several times now and every time have left happy and secure in my purchases due to the time, effort, and care taken by staff. Happy customer 😊

The restaurant is known for its amazing selection of dishes created from the best local produce. Open 7 days a week, it serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the kitchen open all day.
We ordered three paellas for a birthday celebration, and they were absolutely delicious—full of flavour and cooked to perfection!
The place had such a great atmosphere, perfect for a special occasion. The staff were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend it for good food and good vibes!

We had our wedding at Comida in Hahndorf and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The garden atmosphere created such a lovely, romantic setting for our special day.
The staff were absolutely fantastic - incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The Spanish-themed menu was a huge hit with our guests. The food was epic, and the drinks selection perfectly complemented the cuisine. Everyone raved about the meal!
If you're looking for a wedding venue with character, delicious food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day special, I can't recommend Comida highly enough. 10/10!
We were quite excited having found a Spanish restaurant in Hahndorf.
We did not make a reservation but we were offered a table towards the end of the restaurant, at first we were quite happy there, however we soon realized that we had made a mistake. 3 young ladies at an adjacent table made so much noise from beginning to the end of our dinner with very loud voices and laughter. One could not hear the music imagine our own voices.
We wondered why no one from the service noticed that and or spoke to them.
Anyway we had the most bizarre paella ever.
I have eaten paella in Majorca and in many fine Spanish restaurants. I do cook paella myself and I have never seen something like that (see attached pics).
It looked more like a fried rice to me.
The service was also not very attentive and professional. We had to ask for attention a couple of times.
Conclusion it was a very disappointing experience.
A magical wedding venue, tucked off of the main street of Hahndorf. I performed a wedding here in September 2025, and it was a beautiful and magical afternoon, under the willow tree on the amazing grounds. The staff were extremely helpful and kind and the food and drinks were amazing! Highly recommend this as a wedding venue and look forward to performing future wedding ceremonies at this hidden Hahndorf hotspot!
Easily one of our favs in Adelaide and one of our favs we’ve eaten at. Their brunch is spectacular as is dinner. Portions are quite large, and the chefs always deliver. Incredibly well priced too.
We've been to Comida a few times now the latest being yesterday for the fathers day menu, we just adored all the food, with the standout being the paella with slow cooked lamb, always super friendly and attentive service too 😊
First time, but not the last time visitor. Loved the food recommendations from my lovely Waitress. I have really ever sat down for a Spanish meal before, so this was a treat. I walked in wanting the Coconut Mousse, ended up enjoying a cold glass of white wine with Croquetas as well. Well worth the walk in.
Top service from our young waiter, great food and perfect spot for a catch up with friends. We had the jamon (a must), seafood paella and shared the sour cherry crème brûlée and churros. Would order them all again without hesitation but keen to return to try some of the other dishes. 100% recommend.

We're looking forward to return soon to try one of their delicious pizza's.

Recently bought your truffle brie and loved it. 180g
I believe you should speak to your label makers. Trying to get the labels of the wrap was a task and a half. The glue is to strong and causes the label to peel awkwardly. (the laminates on the labels peel apart). Otherwise well done!
Great ice coffee. This is the first time that I want to buy another one to go after having it.
Great atmosphere and welcoming service.
Great location to sit back, have the cheese platter and watching people and the traffic go by.
I think it’s a must try when you are in town.
An hidden gem of the hills.
This magic place offers the best beer in the surrounding area, with a good selection of cheeses and food.
The service of Rob was outstanding, he introduces us to the company and the products, explaining about the missing and the history.
Congratulations guys.
Cheers
Had a great time with our family at Udder Delights Cheese Cellar, first we enjoyed a selection of free cheese tastings where the guy explained each cheese, its flavour and style. We then headed down stairs and sat down to a cheese tasting board as well as a preserved meat and pate selection plate, each was served with two hot crusty bread loafs and butter all together bloody tasty. Definitely recommend!
Lots of local and imported cheese options and other treats as well. Built in coffee shop. Bacon Jam, crackers, cheese, sweet treats, dips and everything that you could want. Staff and friendly and know their products. Can tell why this is popular in Hahndorf. Don't go past it, go in!
Cheese, fresh baked bread and terrific coffee how perfect. Fresh baked bread was such a lovely surprise. Staff super friendly and love their cheese. Try the samples and stay for lunch or a snack. Recommend the platters!! Reasonably priced too given the quantity of cheese you get in the platters.
Absolutely fantastic cheese shop. Delicious range of cheeses, loved the goat (chevre)? Ploughmans board is sufficient for probably 3 people. Reasonably priced.
Iced coffee is great.
Service is prompt, Friendly & efficient.
Staff are fantastic.
Highly recommend to visit for a relaxing afternoon, or if you must stop at only 1 place in Hahndorf, stop here.
We will be back!

Fish & chips restaurant
Hahndorf Fish And Chips is known for their fresh seafood, including fish and prawns. The batter on the dishes is crispy, which is vital for creating delicious fish and chips. The portion sizes are generous, making it suitable for those with smaller appetites. The prawns and calamari are also large in size. Customers thoroughly enjoy their meals at this restaurant, praising the sweet and succulent hake, perfectly cooked calamari, and juicy plump prawns.
John is a kind and generous man who simply makes really great fish and chips. Nothing fancy, no fusion inspired rubbish or vegan friendly plant fish. Just bloody good traditional fish and chips!! The best I have ever had in Australia and the equal to the best I have ever had in England. From the time I'm posting this, there are only a few weeks left before John takes his well deserved retirement. If you are visiting Hahndorf, the best meal you will get here is Hahndorf Fish and Chips.

Portions and chips aren't amazing but you get free sauce.
Option for chicken or sea salt available
Genuinely a piss take. $5 for about 10 chips. Ripping people off and not to mention terrible service. We paid $5 for this… then we rang about it and they sad too bad that’s it. Are you serious!?!?
The fish n prawns were very fresh! The batter was crispy which is crucial for making the delicious fish n chips. The snack pack portion was of good size for small eaters. The prawns n calamaris were big in size too. Enjoyed the meal totally. Visited on a weekday lunch time, so not much customers.
Thoroughly enjoyed my meal! The hake was sweet, flakey and succulent, the calamari was done to perfection, and the prawns were juicy and plump! It was such an enjoyable meal for 2. I would rate 6 stars if I could! Service was pleasant too. 👍
Simple and delicious fish and chips. Crispy and not oily. I ordered the fresh mullet fillets and while they were small, they were fresh and 5 pieces made a good meal.
Extremely overpriced for what you get even by Hahndorf standard. They didnt even fill up the chip container. Burger wasnt great either. Overall disappointing experience. Other chip shops in the hills areas are much better.
Superb Fish n Chips! I haven't had something so light and tasty in a long time! We ordered the Set for 2 with fish, prawns and calamari. Out of this world!

Haven’t stayed here before. The rooms are quite old, but they are clean. House keeping is excellent. We have been very impressed with the food and service in the bistro.
Lauren is very good, always a smile and keeps the place running well, even tops up the firewood.
The biggest issue is there are No Signage directing house guests to a reception to check in !
That’s really weird….
Overall, I really like it here and recommend it
The music being played on a Wednesday night was absolutely terrible!! I asked the staff to turn it off but they just looked at me like I had 2 heads. I wasn’t just me a couple staying in the hotel said they could hear it from their room and they didn’t like it ! Don’t get me wrong I like all sorts of music but if you want to attract more people to the pub then you need to have a balance. The pub is doing some awesome renovations so consider this please. Thanks
Room was a bit musty smelling but did improve after opening all doors and windows. Dinner in the hotel was OK. My roast beef was a bit tough but the Turkey roast was good and the hamburger was massive. Overall i would stay there again.
Always come here with my clients. Absolutely incredible food budget friendly, and the staff is friendly and chill! Absolutely beautiful. Worth the drive.
I dropped by for lunch and had the atlantic salmon. It was absolutely beautiful and the serving size was fair. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.
My experience has been brilliant!
I had an enquiry even before arriving and Matt was incredibly helpful and was able to assist with my request.
Booked into 1 room, however found a minor issue and Sara was straight onto it and went over above with a solution.
Very happy with the King chalet. Very clean. Modern. Comfy and heater worked a treat!
Perfect for a little night get away.
This could be a wonderful place if the owners would spend some money to replace the furniture in the rooms. Very run down and damaged. Bed laps did work. Safety latch on door removed. Curtains worn ….

Ronald M — Google review
Was hoping we found a decent Chinese takeaway that was closer to home, however we were let down again. Honey chicken was very different than the traditional kind we’re used to (sliced breast and quite gingery) and the satay beef was way too sweet and shouldn’t be sweet at all. Very let down after reading all the good reviews and I can only assume that these people must love added sugar in their meals as that was all I could taste. Quite pricey for the portion sizes too. Gave three stars (rather than less) as their fried rice was great and service was friendly, however for good Chinese in the Hills we’ll stick to Balhannah.
Had a really satisfied meal last night with my husband. We ordered two dishes and a fried rice. Their portion was generous and the food was delicious. Waitress was friendly and service was fantastic! Would like to come back next time for other dishes.
I love this restaurant and have been eating there for a very long time. The food is delicious and if you order a favourite you know it will be as good as the last time you had it. The staff are polite and very efficient. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. It's my favourite place to eat and would defineately recommend it.
I’ve been coming to this restaurant for 16 years and I’ve never been disappointed. This is my family’s favourite Chinese restaurant and we only speak highly of this place! The food is absolutely delicious especially their Satay Beef and Mongolian Lamb. The waitresses are lovely to talk to and willing to make your experience with them perfect and comfortable! There is parking out the back so don’t be put off that it’s on a busy street. Don’t hesitate to eat here, you won’t be disappointed!
The dishes we had were too sweet, and Mongolian Lamb shouldn’t be. The serves were a bit small, at restaurants in the city with the same order we’d have heaps left over. Given the small dishes, high prices and average food, I’d give this place a miss. I guess hill folk are easily pleased.
Friendly service and a couple of vegetarian options were available on request. Found meals to be a little more salty than I would like, but still quite nice. I still took leftovers home to have at lunch the next day.
Owner needs to try takeaway from Cathay Court @ Brooklyn Park as an improvement to your business model. If you make your dishes and take away like theirs .... You will have a line up down the road nightly...seriously check it out ... You'll be booked out just doing takeaway. Dishes were a bit small for the price, and so much onion. But ok 👍

Nice little fresh food market featuring fruits and local produce of Adelaide.
The prices are pretty good vs big supermarkets. The produce display is gorgeous and worth the visit. I was tempted into buying many small quantities of several fruits and was pleasantly surprised that the friendly cashier processed the fruits quickly and efficiently without any negative reaction (I'm used to very unhappy, very human cashiers lol)
Very friendly staff and a lovely product range.
I would go again when visiting Hanhdorf in the future

It was my first visit. I very much enjoyed exploring all the fresh produce that is on offer. It's great to see that all the fresh items are locally sourced.
A very clean store with friendly staff - Cale at the checkout was most pleasant - and ample off-street parking. I'll definitely shop here again.
Update: The second visit resulted in purchasing pies, pizzas, fruit and quiches. All very tasty 😋
Saturday mornings here is an outing in itself. They have cabinets outside selling fresh bread, croissants, cakes, donuts and coffee.
The staff is always friendly and their produce is the best around. Beautiful flowers too. Great prices and great services. Check them out
WOW what an amazing place so much amazing produce and beautiful food. Very handy to the caravan park across the road, a little pricey but some amazing food. Saturdays there is a line up for pastries - an get very busy
Great range of products..so much to choose from!
Massive selection of products, more than just fresh foods like locally made homeopathic & deodorants, Country Honey actually produced in the NT & even baby/ infant options. WOW
Best fruit and veg market you'll ever go to. This is not my local and wish more business would learn from Hahndorf
Cute place to pass through unfortunately everything shuts early and the prices are certainly marked up! Does get crowded and finding a place to park was a pain,
Every time I go to Hahndorf, I stop by this place to buy cakes and daily necessities. Shopping experience is what I'm most satisfied with. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Sam's popcorn is worth a try. Goods are displayed in a large, clean & neat space. The flowers here are always kept fresh & beautiful. I aso like the squid pizza at the bakery and pizza counter in front of the store.
Thanks!
