Where's Waldo

The Feast is reasonably priced and offers excellent quality and wide variety of German dishes.

Martin Santo

Always great food and service, must book in advance if you want to dine in.

Paul Guthrie

Beautiful! An authentic old building from Germany, apparently the wood was shipped here. Very nice staff. Great portions and great prices. I fed my family of four for $80!!

Gary Davidson

Great food. Great service. Prices fair

Visit here everytime we are in Kimberley. Highly recommend the venison medallions, but you cannot go wrong. Classic German fare, and many house made specialties that are absolutely fantastic. A can't miss when visiting!

Jorgen Jespersen

Great first class restaurant with the most quality ingredients. A great option if you want a really nice option.

Heather Johnson

Amazing Food! My husband and I love the feast, we live in Kimberley and it is our favourite place to eat. It's very authentic, fresh and offers the best local ingredients. Very reasonable prices for what you get.

Piper Thompson

I LOVE this place.

Daniel Sander

Super cool aesthetic in this old fashioned building. The service was as excellent as the food, I highly recommend the feast so you can have a good sample of everything they have on offer! I was impressed with the quality of the beer selection if not the quantity, I had an excellent local sour I hadn't heard of. All in all great for a family dinner!

Max Heyde

Love the place

Ben Littlechilds

Awesome experience, a must try. Great atmosphere, and a ton of food!! Naturally you must try the Feast, not cheap, but fun to do. Only took a star off because my cocktail was pretty average, and the food is not amazing, just good, definitely not bad. But because there was so much of it, and so much variations, it was surprisingly not top of mind lol.

Wayne Callihoo

The Locals call this place "The Barn" I went to this German style Restaurant for a supper the night before my daughters wedding. The building is 350 yrs old and was disassembled and moved and assembled in Kimberly in 1989 from Germany. This is truly a hidden secret and is near the Ski Hill. One of the best food experience I have had. prices are good and you will need to have a big hunger as you get a lot of food.

Dale Zemlak

Awesome

Laura Harley

Atmosphere is friendly, food is phenomenal. Fast service, great time!

Shaun Devine

Set in a rustic style old barn that is decorated in an exceptionally good fashion. The food is of a very good standard, I have been here many times and for most of these I had the feast, which in my opinion is the best value for your money. Although have never been let down with anything that was ordered.

Amber Holmberg

The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent!! Very generous sized portions.

Max Watson

Food is always top notch.

Mia Pitassi

Some reviews say pricey?! Ridiculous. This was by-far the most reasonably priced dining experience in a long while, before even considering the fabulous service, locally-sourced freshness and love cooked into every bite. I highly recommend it.

John Logan

Best food, best service and bring all your friends

A wonderful dinner experience for our family of four with a cozy and quaint atmosphere and amazing authentic german food. Set aside an hour or two. You must call ahead for a reservation and it seems to fill up quickly!

Chris Reid

Best place to take a date, great food and would highly recommended this to anyone who wants a great meal. It’s also cool they moved this place from Germany.

Sylvia Fransen

(Translated) Eaten yesterday evening in the Old bauernhous. Friendly and smooth service. Busy business where you definitely have to book in advance. Here they serve classic German food. Price is slightly on the high side but quality is good. (Original) Gisteren avond gegeten in the Old bauernhous. Vriendelijke en vlotte bediening. Drukke zaak waar je van te voren zeker moet reserveren. Hier serveren ze klassiek Duits eten. Prijs is wel iets aan de hoge kant maar kwaliteit is goed.

Eric Stuppard

OMG. Order the feast, you will not be disappointed.

Fryski

Had the feast here with my dad. Best German food I’ve ever had

Jeff Good

Slow food - but is it ever good! Best schnitzel I've had since a visit to Austria.

Christina Clyde

Amazing service and the most delicious food! The history of this building is incredible. Take your group and order the Bavarian Feast. You probably won't have room for dessert but you don't want to miss out on that either! Thank you for a great experience with our family. Most enjoyable.

Steve Stallard

Loved the meal and atmosphere. Would of like to have my jager schnitzel not like a stew, but still great time

Tyson W

Best German food you'll ever eat even if you're from Germany!

C Milligan

Amazing! 5 stars!

Jason Brass

Lived in Cranbrook all my life and never been there (can't Beleive that) , food is delicious and service was great, highly recommend, I'd say I was in and out within an hour, fast to serve you.

Aaron Heinrich

Great atmosphere and service. A must stop for me when I am golfing in the area. Bavarian feast all the way.

David Price

Great food. My only criticism is I would love to see some change in the menu

Paul Madsen

We came to visit family living in town. Enjoyed a fantastic dinner of great food

Bob Swihart

It is the only German food restaurant left in this Bavarian village. Long wait without a reservation. Nice atmosphere. Nice waitress. Great food. Loved the shared fest.

Dave Chiu

Great food. Schnitzel was really good.

Craig Mack

Absolutely the best food you'll ever eat. Sourced locally, organic and authentic. Highly recommend.

Caylib Durand

An old rustic Alpine house with authentic Bavarian food and beer. Highly recommend the multi-course meal. The setting is very rustic and you can sit on the patio overlooking the hillside with a great view.

Sarah

Favourite place to eat. If you go for the first time spend the money and get “The Feast” it’s a lot of food but you get to taste everything. Service is always so good and the 300 year old building couldn’t be a better setting. MUST GO!

Brendan Gardner

This place is fantastic. The building is unbelievable. Quite the experience. Highly recommend.

Logan Jameson

Went here for big dinner and the food was wonderful. There were four of us and we had two orders of the feast. We ended up being stuffed and taking lots of food home. A great environment with great food.

Wet Husky

Visited this beautiful restaurant with family during Christmas, and I was not disappointed. With the authentic, and historical reconstruction of a building from Germany, several hundred years old, we felt like we were sitting in the heart of Bavaria. The food was amazing from start to finish; our family of eight shared "The Feast" and it certainly lived up to expectations. The portions and price were fantastic. The staff are friendly and inviting, while delivering excellent service. I would recommend "The Old Bauernhaus" to anyone who has the chance to visit Kimberley, B.C. "The Bavarian City of the Rockies"

Steve Carell

Amazing dinner! One of the best places to eat out in Kimberly

Marcus Lyon

Excellent food. Very relaxing.

Stuart Mason

Excellent food, wine and beer. Great service. A little expensive but worth it. Great place place for a special dinner.

Dennis Peters

Bavarian feast is impressive.

Terence Roberts

Food and service is next level. Lots of vegetarian options, but to get the full experience you should be open to the full menu.

Dean Porter

Best food in Kimberly. We drove 1.5 hrs to get the feast

Budd Trottier

Always passed this place for years, glad I finally stopped in for a meal...service was excellent and food was amazing

Jim Kennedy Sr.

Excellent menu, quality food ... service a bit slow but it was a very busy evening. Finest in the area

Rebeca Zelioli

Best steak I ever had. A baby with no teeth could chew it with no problem, that's how soft and juicy it was! Service was great! Environment is clean and the building is charming! 5 out if 5

Nick Hutniak

A unique atmosphere with amazing food! It's a little more expensive but it's completely worth every penny. If you want a great German meal definitely eat here.

John R

Food is excellent. Service is sketchy. I walked in here without a reservation and the server treated me like a homeless street person. The restaurant was almost completely empty. If you do decide to go here, book a reservation first. Great food, snobby service.

Hetty Roberts

Beautifully delicious foods and wine. Lovely friendly staff and great ambience.

Maria Shukin

My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday,last weekend; we order ONE feast plate as the menu said “minimum 2 people” (we wanted to share the ONE plate) and 2lobster bisques, we were advised to have only one soup because it will be lots of food. Indeed there was a lot of food and it was delicious! At the end we were charged for 2 feast plates, $$$$$ we didn’t have the courage to claim for the error but my advice is: DOUBLE CHECK before you get trapped in the misinformation. Again the food is very good and the service as well.

Dust “Dustbunny40sumthin” Bunny

Awesome as always ????????

Paul Jacobs

Great food. Great place. Great people. Wonderful experience.

Susan Beaulieu

I went with family members and the atmosphere was great. We had "the feast " for dinner and it was superb, we were all stuffed! Didn't even have room for dessert. You have to book in advance so we booked a dinner for next week as well. The service was attentive and friendly...My compliments to the chef the food was exceptional!

Melanie Dawn Whitnack

Best food of my life. Get the Feast and you will be so glad that you did!! Take a girlfriend or two or someone you want to sit down and have a proper meal with. You won’t be disappointed.

Mike duToit

Never disappoints. The serving people are awesome. Love em to pieces. Food is awesome.

Corey

Fantastic service! We were kindly accommodated despite not having reservations on a busy Friday evening! The Feast is highly recommended due the variety, quantity and quality!!! The complementary breads are even amazing, especially the sourdough rye which had crispy, yet chewy crust and soft flavorsome inside. Everything was delicious!!!! We left stuffed and with leftovers!!

Christopher Moon

This is really world class dining in the Kootenays. Well worth a visit!

Harlan Barcus

Excellent German food. The red cabbage and sauerkraut are wonderful, as was the sauerbratten and schnitzel. Great wait staff squeezed us in on a Friday night without a reservation. Lots of locals confirm this is a popular local eatery.

Eric Bouwsema

Great building, fun atmosphere and very good food.

Jasmine O

I'm not a fan of schnitzel. But omg was the old bauernhaus the best! The service was excellent and our server made sure to check with us about our sons numerous anaphylactic allergies (Peanuts, eggs, milk, lentils, peas, chickpeas). They even made a special meal for him which he loved and ate the majority of (he's very selective due to his allergies so this was shocking) We were here for a rehearsal dinner and we got the feast. You MUST get the feast of you come here. It was by far the most delicious food I've eaten in a long, long time! It exceeded my expectations 100% and keep in mind that my expectations were quite low given that I don't really enjoy schnitzel. Every course was delicious, even the salads!! We really appreciated their attention to our sons allergy as we literally cannot take him to eat at any restaurants what so ever! So thank you so much! The restaurant was packed yet service and quality did not suffer. Food was so delicious that I couldn't even stop to take photos of each dish. I will come here every time we visit Kimberley. I honestly didn't even know it was there as it's pretty hidden! Yum! Just go and eat here!

Michael Hotz

Food and service are better then in most restaurants in Germany. Super nice atmosphere in this charming house. Bauernhaus is a treat :-)

Doug Symington

spectacular dining experience. you owe yourself a visit. love the fact that the special may be adapted for dietary (celiac) restrictions

Jim Zipperer

Such a wonderful place. It is It is not only the best place to eat in Kimberly, but it is a destination for foodies. My friends and I have been going up there for the last 25 years, and even though we go up once a year Michele and Niels always treat us like family.

Jennifer Lillis

Jenna

Always an awesome experience and food. My son is in love with spatzle now! Always go with the feast. You can't got wrong.

Lloyd Steeves

Fantastic food. Authentic. Great service .

Two words: The Feast

Agnes Thompson

Amazing dining experience. The Feast was well worth the money.

Anson Lai

My friend (and MC Hammer) said it best.. “Too legit to quit”. Hands down the best place to eat in Kimberley. The front of the house staff was awesome, friendly and quick. If you can’t decide on what to order get the Bavarian Feast (2 or more people). It comes with a large sample of their menu and is a fantastic value. For desert, get anything with their homemade ice cream. You can tell it was made with real cream and the flavours are to die for. I would recommend making reservations if you are in town and parking at the front is a little small but you can park on the street.

T. N.

Perfect as always!

Rhonda Norris

This was the nearest place to my air bnb so I randomly went there for dinner after driving all the way to kimberley from Vancouver. If I'd known how awesome it was, I would have made the trip a few more times for the schnitzel. So good! Definitely try it if you are anywhere close!

Terence Trefiak

I have been here 6 or 7 times over the past 10 years. Every time I think I build up the event in my mind but every time I am blown away. This is one of the best restaurants in the world.

Amazing food!

Paul Cowl

Fantastic food and reasonable portions. Possibly the most expensive place in Kimberley but we felt it was worth the price. Great service even during Covid times.

Kurtis Tuttle

Aswome place, i love the food.

Alexandra Jensen

The Bauernhaus has yet to disappoint! The food was excellent again tonight and came out in good time. You'll definitely want reservations to go here but it is worth it. A little gem on the way up to the ski hill.

Tanya Manion

We had our team from the marysville pub go and have the best night ever! Great service lots of laughs and such a great meal thank you for everything

Eric

Great food friendly staff

Bill Hamill

We were 8 hungry golfers looking for great food and drink. We certainly came to the right spot. Quaint with interesting and historic decor. The schnitzel and trimmings were spectacular, the best I’ve ever had. The wine list featured many B.C. wines of note at prices that, while not cheap, were fairly reasonable. Our server, Ann was very pleasant, wonderfully enthusiastic and frequently demonstrated the most infectious laugh, all while providing us with professional service and recommendations. Our visit to The Old Bauernhaus will now be a staple of our annual golf getaway in Kimberley. Save room for the strudel.

Dustan Wawzkiewicz

Very good! Too much food me and my wife ordered Bavarian feast and there was so much food we almost exploded! Very well done!

Jay Hamilton

We "only" tried the feast, but that's a massive sampling of about 10 menu items. Of those, we actually enjoyed the appetizers the best. It's a great experience and very filling, with a ton of variety in such a cool setting. Vegetarians might be surprised how many options they have as well. Book your table in advance, it's really popular and with good reason!

Jeff Quinn

One of the best restaurants in the area for sure. Quality food every time. Expect a nice slow paced meal here with plenty of time to chat.

Cal Dandron

Absolutely amazing. Best food ever !!!!! My wife and I will for sure be back again. The feast was to die for.

John Rattie

Absolutely intriguing history, I highly would suggest having the feast per person

Roxanne Pruden

Excellent experience! We had the Bavarian feast, which is served in courses. Prompt removal of dishes and next course right behind it. Wonderful decor, customer service and food. My only 'nit picks' would be uncomfortable seats and I like ice in my water lol. Will be back and highly recommended!!

Rand Smith

Took so long for our meal to arrive the server brought us more salad. The quality of food left something to be desired.

Dieter Warthmann

i was there today the second time in 2 years . they are cheap , the people in the kitchen are dirty , no beard net and long hear and they charged me $ 145.00 for 2 people and the real bill should be less than $ 100.00 . when I tried to pay and mention what we head , she told me clearly , I know what you had and put many more drinks on my tap . she was mad at me when I told her about that . so watch the bill or don't go there and see the fake smile and don't get the feast , it is waisted money

Ben Graham

Great spot and atmosphere

Ory Lavallee

Awesome place! Very good service and unbelievable food. If you go you've got to get the feast. It's 5 star food that just keeps coming out. One of the top restaurants in Kimberley for sure!

Jennifer McIntyre

Amazing atmosphere and food! Will go back! Price is equal to the quality! Outstanding!

Jeannine Sonnenberg

Good service that doesn't rush you, leaving enough time to enjoy visiting with friends or with a dinner date..., before, during or even after the meal. There was no noisy tv to distract the meal or force you to speak too loud. Being a smaller restaurant it has an intimate feel to it with conversation easily spoken and understood. The decor was rustic wood with a warm homey feel and the food was not only delicious but displayed well on the plate. I found the breads to be especially tasty. Though somewhat pricey, I recommend this restaurant for a classy meal especially for special occasions.

Hailey Voelkner

You gotta try the spatzle with the mushroom cream sauce!!

Janice Pocatello

The Barvarian Feast lived up to it's name!! Atmosphere was very authentic.

Authentic Bavarian food. It's so good I dream about it! Reservations recommended!

Sharon Richards

I had the Schintzel and my husband the Halibut special..The chef is to be commended for his expert preparation of both dishes..The food was amazing, something you'd expect from a world class chef, the veggies in particular are so perfect, the real test of a true chef! Have the Apple Srudel with REAL ice cream, absolutely to die for...5 stars is not enough! As far as price, its what you'd expect for world class cuisine..
