Little Bavaria Restaurant - Port Alberni, British Columbia

We had our Easter dinner last night and it was very pleasant and tasty experience. Food was great ( Bavarian plate for two was massive so it’s dinner and lunch for the next day). Then Black Forest cake to share( we couldn’t eat anymore haha). Thank to our server, Ashley M. we got to try lemon chocolate cake too which was fantastic. Service was over the top. Ashley M. took care of us like we are VIP’s haha She was absolutely amazing! Other staff members as well. They made us feel like we had dinner at home which I didn’t have to cook ;). The restaurant is celebrating 60th anniversary next year and that says a lot. Thank you!

Port Alberni's little secret. Fantastic food! We were only sorry we couldn't eat more. Try the Goulash Soup - to die for!! It became our new favorite place!

Little Bavaria was as wonderful as our son said it would be! We actually added an extra day to our itinerary just so we could come here for dinner ! We were coming from our holiday in Ucuelet and we are so glad we made this a stop on our Vancouver Island trip! It was our son’s third visit here and our first! We were welcomed warmly and they gladly took us in before our reservation time with the weather being awful! Our seat was unfortunately tucked a bit away in a back booth but other than that it was just fabulous! Our server was lovely! We ordered the Bavaria platter for 3 people and it was an incredible amount of food we weren’t close to finishing! We had a lot of lefty! It was really good and beautifully presented! We all enjoyed a fabulous German meal! We have visited Bavaria Germany 4 times and this certainly gave us all of the Vibes and atmosphere we needed! What really impressed us was the owner coming by the table to ask us how we enjoyed everything and thanked us for coming! That is very rare these days and it does make a huge impression! I think we were the only non locals in the restaurant! They seemed to recognize a fair amount of people! We overheard a gentleman saying he has been coming for 50 years! Reservations an absolute must!

Mit einer Reisegruppe abends ins Little Bavaria zum essen gegangen.

Supernette, freundliche und hilfsbereite Bedienung und toller aufmerksamer Service.

Essen kam schnell und war richtig lecker. Jäger Schnitzel nach ewigen Zeiten wieder gegessen, top!

Für einen Besuch unter dem Motto - little bavaria - jederzeit zu empfehlen, wenn man während des Urlaubs heimelige Küche und Essen sucht, sofern man das will 🙂

We 7 had supper on a Sunday. It's not a big place, so reservations are strongly recommended. The welcome was friendly and we were seated after our tables were bussed. Our server was polite, friendly and professional.

We had beers and cocktails first; they came quickly and they were fine. We ordered. We received a basket of bread and tasty rye bread. We'd finished our cocktails when the mains came. All came with soup or salad. All were very large servings and were all very well prepared. We got one dessert and two specialty coffees to finish. We each left with a take out box!

Overall we can highly recommend this restaurant for good German food if in Port Alberni.

Went recently for a very special occasion. The food was good, we had starters, dinner, many drinks and desserts all around. Unfortunately, despite it being a special occasion and spending quite a bit including generous tip, we were told by two different servers that we had to leave as someone else was waiting for the table. We weren't lingering, so it was unfortunate. I've never been rushed out of a restaurant before. Left a unpleasant taste in our mouths that clouded the otherwise great evening.

Came here without reservation and was lucky to get a table for one. Service is great. People are very friendly. The food is so authentic... let me tell you: I'm a Belgian man who's here on a holiday and I'm not particulary fond of German food. But this food was so home made. It made me forget I'm in North America in a good way. Don't change a thing!

We dined here with my wife's aunt and uncle may 12th I believe . You can not imagine the food they bring you. One of the best restaurant meals I've ever had the staff were amazing all you could here in the kitchen was the schnitzel being hand pounded out and the laughter it was amazing I even went to the kitchen door just to see . It was an experience you need to try . Cheers
