Our restaurant & gastronomy tips in Winterberg
Here we give you our personal favorite restaurants in Winterberg and its districts. Our experience is that locals are often better off quality than those in the often crowded center. For more info KLICK on the name! Agriculture - probably the best restaurant in Winterberg - casual but oho - is located in the village Neuastenberg. "Fresh - cheeky surprising and transverse" is the motto of the kitchen with a small but fine and always changing menu. High kitchen level with regional and modern cuisine exclusively prepared. Brasserie Berglenne is an insider tip and top local, which many Winterberg visitors overlook because it is located off in the district of Lennewiesen below the Kahlen Astens. The house managed by a Dutch team is therefore visited by majority of guests from NL. Ambience and cuisine are first class. The barrier - also a little bit off is another top restaurant on the outskirts of Siedlinghausen. The house offers regional cuisine at an elevated level, several times awarded as "Restaurant des Jahres NRW". Stylish but casual atmosphere with beautiful beer garden in summer. Da Salvatore is a noble Italian in the newly built Winterberger train station with terrace. More than a pizzaria - creatively served Italian cuisine with homemade pasta and delicious antipasti. Pannekoekenhuis is the name program. Delicious inexpensive pancakes of all kinds sweet and hearty. A typical sourland half-timbered house with terrace located on Waltenberg next to the Hotel de Brabander. In the Restaurant Athens there are Greek specialties in the center of Winterberg - also with outdoor gastronomy. Tasty grilled meat and the dishes are very deliciously prepared. Very popular restaurant with top reviews on Tripadvisor and Google. Gasthof zur Post in Neuastenberg is a rustic restaurant with a long tradition - directly at the ski area Postwiese. Good rustic-bourgeois cuisine with some of its own specialties. Nudelhaus Winterberg - here everything is about the noodles - whether meditarian, rustic, vegetarian, with fish, with meat or with steak. Very popular and delicious address in a side street in the center of Winterberg - both inside and outside. Blackwater Irish-Pub - one of the most popular evening restaurants in the centre of Winterberg. Here you can enjoy a lot of Guinness and whiskey. If you want to combine evening fun with dining options, this is the right place. The kitchen is rustic with Irish beat - from fish & chips to burgers to steak from the fire grill. Kaffeehaus Winterberg - the top address for coffee & cake right in the center. Stylish house with gallery and artistic touch. First-class homemade cake. Everything is just right here for a café afternoon. Clubhouse at the golf course - as in many places, the Winterberg Golf Club restaurant is also a highly recommended address - however, the dishes also cost a few euros more. Good bourgeois cuisine with its own touch. In the afternoon there are waffles of all kinds and the breakfast meeting on Sunday with a sumptuous buffet is popular.
