Bavarian Bier Cafe

$$$$-

15 of us met up for dinner on Thursday night at the Bavarian Bier Cafe (not to be confused with the Belgian Beer Cafe, which I’m a frequent visitor of).

I’ve never been to the Bavarian, despite it being about 2 blocks from the office. Very cool, moody wood interior with a myriad of glasses hanging from the ceiling. There were some suits milling around at the bar and every table was filled with diners. We got a long table for the 15 or so of us and proceeded to order up a storm. The waiter was incredibly attentive and sooo sweet – he recommended we get the large platters to share and when I expressed that it may not be enough, he promptly said that I could then order more and he’d put us first in line at the kitchen so any additional food would be served within 10 mins. Awesome! We went a bit mad ordering though.. I didn’t even get photos of all the food because there was just too much and the table was too long to reach over πŸ˜›

Thursday nights also feature German Henkell Trocken Piccolo bottles for $2 a pop. Regular price? $9.50. WHAT A BARGAIN!! So, again, we went a little mad and kept buying them until our table was littered with the glass bottles and we found it really tough to finish it all.. especially when all the boys decided they wanted ‘proper’ beer instead of champagne and so the girls were left to drink the Piccolos ourselves. Eeeeek! But the company was good and the food was good, we had a fun night πŸ™‚

Oh wow… Looks incredible! I tried Bavarian food in Germany and… it was DIVINE. Completely fattening and VERY heavy, but oh so delicious! If you’re a dedicated carnivore! Which I am! :o)

The sticky date was THAT good? I have a friend who LOVES sticky date pudding so… maybe I’ll recommend it to her!

Yeah it’s so unhealthy hey, it’s a bit scary, haha!

YES the sticky date pudding was fab.. it was really moist and soft and it was a b-i-g portion. It was heaven with vanilly ice cream. FULLY RECOMMENDED!

Ya go go go! It’s so sad you live/work out of the City cos we always go running around at lunch/dinner/weekends checking out all the food here πŸ˜›

I’m normally not crazy over sticky date pudding but this was SO GOOD and moist and sweet, esp with the cold ice cream.. ahhhh… :)~

Seriously, how are you not 500 pounds? πŸ™‚ You eat so much good food. After leaving there, I would have had to run home to burn it all off or leave myself at risk for gaining 5 pounds. πŸ˜€

I know! When it came I didn’t eat it at first cos it seemed really dry and boring.. but when I nibbled a bit I was like OMG THIS IS GOOD and then reached for another one, hehe
