Wirtshaus Hocheck - Ramsau

Nice location, nice beergarden good news end here. On the first page of the menu the owners claim that everything is carefully prepared with almost daily fresh ingredients. Well, anyone who knows something about (Upper-)Bavarian cuisine will be surprised the pork roast is...below average and the gravy tastes of cube stock, the coleslaw definitely tastes of MSG and has a strange color. The trout à la meunière was the worst I ever had, probably deep-fried not pan-fried with lots of butter. Service is average, overall not good value for money.

Finding the Hocheck was a little bit of an exercise, since it sits somewhat above the entry road, accessed by a steep driveway. Once we'd found it, we realized that the name, which means high corner was quite appropriate. We found a parking place with...no problem in front. It was early in the evening, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. The decor was very traditional and cozy, and more rustic than most we'd been in. It had by the entry door what seemed to be one of those old large German household ceramic heating stoves. The waiter was helpful and friendly, and he spoke English well enough. The menus were bound, interestingly, in wooden boards, and there were English-language menus available too. We ordered a variety of plates; schnitzel, cordon bleu, schweinsbraten, and a bauerngroestl. The schweinsbraten was very tasty, and it along with an extra side of spaetzle, was indeed a full meal. Dinner for four was a very reasonable Euros, including water, tea, and soft drinks. And bonus! it began to snow again outside while we were eating (this was on May We were all-around pleased with the Hocheck and will make sure to return there during our next visit to the area.

Stumbled on this place by chance after visiting the nearby Wimbachklamm warefall, and decided to stop for a drink. Once we'd seen a couple of dishes go past destined for other guests, we decided to stop for dinner. My brother in law and I had...the Hocheck Bayerish burger (a sausage loaf burger), and what a burger it was. Absolutely delicious. My wife and sister had the Turkey Schnitzel and not a bit was wasted there either, except the piece I had to eat because it was too big for my wife to finish. Lovely quiet surroundings, friendly staff, good beer and food. What more do you need?

Nice little place. We stopped in here on the way back from our hike to Wimbachklamm Waterfalls to get out of the rain and have a bier. Very quint little place with fantastic décor. Waitress were friendly and spoke very good English. There was also...an English menu. The käsespätzle was fantastic, maybe the best we had it Bavaria. Which is saying something, because that is my wife’s “go to dish”, and she orders it regularly. I thought the prices we a little high for where we were, they seem more like München prices, not rural Bavarian prices. The biergarten looked really nice, but the weather kept us from checking it out. I will stop in again when in the area, hopefully I can visit the biergarten. Recommended.

I only stopped in for an ice coffee after hiking the Witbachklamm, but sitting out under a tree, having a cold drink after the exercise was a delight. A good place to take a break and grab a drink or snack.
