Washington State is a boon of natural beauty, showcasing snowcapped volcanic mountains, a vast portfolio of national parks, and a robust agricultural industry. A more surprising offering from the state is a number of authentic German restaurants scattered around the beautiful territory. Here’s where you can find German food in Washington:
München Haus is located in Leavenworth, Washington, a Bavarian style village straight out of the movies. Here you can journey into the heart of Europe without ever leaving the country. The charming village adopts the music, food, and culture of a quainter time and place.
In this little slice of Europe you can sip German pilsners in the beer garden overlooking the mountains and dunk warm pretzels in vats of homemade cheese.
Also in Leavenworth is the Andreas Keller Restaurant. This charming dining establishment is known not only for their German menu, but also for the daily live music hosted on site.
Listen to the croons of the accordion while you order bratwurst (and weisswurst and knackwurst and rindswurst) off the extensive menu. This spot also offers quite a number of gluten free dishes.
In Lakewood the German haven of choice is Bruno's European Restaurant. This hot spot is so popular for genuine German and Polish cuisine that it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.
Though Leavenworth may be the European heart of Washington, boasting both München Haus and Andreas Keller Restaurant, there’s good German food to be had all across the state. Don’t forget to visit Bruno’s European Cafe and to explore the other multicultural dining options around Washington. It’s a feast for your spirit and your palate, no passport required.
