Black Forest Bistro - La Crosse

I don?t write reviews, but this definitely deserves one from me. I?ve been coming here for a few months now, and have tried a few different plates. This has easily become my favorite restaurant in town though. I?ve lived in Germany and a few other placesaround the world and this food is easily 5 star restarting quality even around Europe. The food itself is so flavorful andtender and all matches so good together with each plate. The photo I?ve linked is probably the best thing on their menu (eventhough they don?t have it all the time) schweinshox?n. This right here has a deliciously crispy outside that is seared toperfection, allowing the juices and flavors of the meat to marinate inside as it cooks. When biting down on it, the flavorfulcrunch of the skin gives way to a beautifully cooked, and juicy interior that literally falls off of the bone with every bite.Paired with some fresh made pasta and drizzled with gravy made from the juices of the meat itself makes this dish alonesomething to come back to again and again. Now as much as I praise this plate alone, the rest of the menu is top tier qualitythat is definitely something to write home about and keep you coming back for more. Friendly staff and a comfortable atmospherepaired with very appropriate prices make Black Forest Bistro my new favorite place in La Crosse to eat.

I received the pasta bolognese from a family member and was pretty underwhelmed by the portion size. The dish was mediocre in flavor( sauce mainly). My recommendation would be not to order something like this from a mainly German restaurant. But notbeing a fan of German food, I tried something else on their menu. No disrespect in any way by the opinion. I just thoughtspaghetti and a simple sauce would come with a decent portion size for the price. I'll try something else next time, if there isa next time.

We planned on stopping here after a long, busy day of shopping around La Crosse. Our server was kind, attentive, and fantastic! The food was delicious and the hazlenut raspberry cupcake was incredible. It was the perfect atmosphere for what we were lookingfor. We will come back a lot more!

We've been looking for a good German restaurant since our vacation to Austria. It's been a five year search, and we're grateful to have found BFB. Everything about this restaurant is exceptional: quality, taste, authenticity and service. We will bereturning during our next visit to Wisconsin.

We were driving from Wisconsin to MN, and needed a place for lunch that was near the highway. Out server was the sweetest! We were served promptly and our drinks came out super fast. I?m a vegetarian so I got the grilled chicken salad (minus thechicken , and when it was brought out it had extra avocado on it (without my asking , since I didn?t get chicken, which was sonice!!!! The food was delicious! We each got a dumpling (both yummy , and the spätzle (sp? . All the food was delicious andthe service was wonderful! Got a raspberry cupcake to go and it is quite delectable. Would definitely go again if I am in thearea!
