The name Altdorf rings a bell! It sounds like Adolf and of course most of us would relate to Adolf Hilter. The association is partly correct as this is the name of a German Biergarten that we were going to have lunch.
Altdorf - The historic limestone facade
Altdorf - Beer Garden and Indoor Dining
Biergarten (in German) or beer garden is an open area where beer and food are served. Located along W. Main Street of Fredericksburg downtown, Altdorf Restaurant and Biergarten features German specialties as well as a range of appetizers, Tex-Mex entrees, Altdorf's famous burgers, sandwiches and salad. They also prepare a menu specially for kids, simply perfect if you bring the little ones along.
Willkommen!
As we entered, I was attracted to the unique tables at the beer garden whereby it took the advantage of the old wooden barrels to hold the table top. Towards one end, there is a little stage perhaps for live performance but there was no activity when we were there in the afternoon.
Shall we go for Biergarten or?
We headed for a shade of an indoor dining area or the restaurant to escape from sun. Guess we have had enough while trekking on the Summit Trail at Enchanted Rock. Smile
The menu..what's interesting?
Formerly a church, this historic limestone building houses almost everything with German and Texas tone. From the Texas cattle brand poster, antique wall clock, old pictures to a collection of beer mugs, the ambiance is great to be in to dine. The interior was designed with several chambers so we sort of had a private corner by ourselves.
Indoor dining area
Altdorf serves German Dinners which we mistakenly thought these range of meals were only served during dinner. What happen as we were there during lunch? The friendly server still took our order though Smile.
We have Texas Cattle Brands here!
All the Sausage and Schnitzel Dinners on their menu are served with soup or salad and three accompaniments of your choice. You may pick any three of these: Red Cabbage, Sauerkraut, Sweet and Sour Potatoes or Spiced Noodles.
Fancy corner..
Check out some of the dishes we had here.
Altdorf's Soup of The Day - a bit similar to Borscht soup
If you to try this soup, refer to my 'limited edition' version here. Smile
Chicken Fried Steak - tenderized round steak hand-breaded just before it's cooked
German Hot Dog with chips and mustard
Opa's Link Sausages with Red Cabbages & Spiced Pasta
Jager Schnitzel - a breaded pork cutlet with brown mushroom gravy
Another Schitzel with Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage)
Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I may consider going back!
