German Gymnasium Grand Cafe & Restaurant

I had this written and have only got round to posting but.... The building itself was beautiful. The architecture within was extraordinary which set the tone of the evening. The way the ceiling was grand and felt extravagant really set the tone of the evening. We were sat promptly and swiftly our order was taken. The selection was good but I feel that for a German restaurant, the stein wasn't up to par. The beer was good though. The server was friendly and after our starters; Bread Starter(which were delicious but pretty small in portion size) we moved onto our mains. Our mains were the Currywurst- this was good. The only problem was the size portions and the fact that it didn't give me the German vibe that I know when in Germany. Next was the Schnitzel. This was also nice but didn't live up to the standards that I'd expect from a well known German restaurant. The portion size was good but the chicken was pretty dry as well gard hard in parts. All in all the experience was brilliant but the food was average. I would visit again but I feel that I wouldn't order the same foods.

My experience at German Gymnasium was fantastic I went with three friends and we loved it . What a great atmosphere and location. The food was amazing, we had for starters the falafel, bread basket and some fries which were really good. Then we had hot dogs and the veal schnitzel all amazing. Definitely the best part of the meal were the DESSERTS. Absolutely spectacular if you go, make sure to leave some room for dessert. We shared three including the cheesecake, the prailine and the apple strudel. Will go back just to have another bite of those amazing desserts, best ones I’ve had in London. A must go!!

German Gymnasium in London: A Unique Taste of Germany Amidst Historic Charm I recently dined at the German Gymnasium in London, and it was quite a unique experience. The restaurant stands out for its German cuisine, which can be a rare find in many parts of the world. The menu offered a wide selection of dishes, and they even had a special menu for Oktoberfest, which added to the overall authenticity. The location of the restaurant is in an emerging and upgraded area, which adds to the appeal of the dining experience. Inside, the decor is impressive, showcasing the original structure of the building, giving it a distinct and charming atmosphere. As for the food, it was good and lived up to the expectations one might have for German cuisine. However, our visit was marred by an unfortunate wait for our food, although it seemed to be an isolated incident, affecting only our table. Nonetheless, the service staff did an excellent job in addressing the issue promptly, which was commendable. In terms of pricing, I found it to be fair for the quality of German dining we enjoyed. Despite the hiccup, the overall experience at the German Gymnasium was positive, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Germany in London.

Lively place for tasty German fare and drinks. 5/5 Atmosphere and decor 5/5 Food. Creative and innovative menu. We were wowed by the duck. And enjoyed a cheese sausage plate. Food came out in a timely fashion. 5/5 Drink menu was varied. More than just beer and wine. 4/5 Service. Friendly but had to flag people down a few times Would definitely recommend.

We had dinner there last night. While we had to wait about 1/2 an hour for service due to an electrical fire. We didn’t mind waiting, the staff were amazing, from manager, to hostess to wait staff, all amazing. They kept us updated while we waited. We shared the butchers plate for 2, it was amazing! Especially loved the schnitzel and the pork knuckle, all the sauces were superb. For dessert I had the hazelnut praline and it was one of the best desserts I have ever had. My friend has the Black Forest gateau and loved that too! Honestly, all round fabulous service, all the staff were very attentive, efficient and friendly. Will definitely treat myself again, well worth the money. So glad we chose to eat here after a lovely day out in London, perfect way to end a fabulous day and hop on a train back home afterwards.

Nice restaurant with gigantic venue with high sealing. I like the decor and the ambience for sure. Food was good but very very heavy. Server I got here barely talked and not friendly or attentive at all. Maybe they were understaffed that day but I was constantly looking for him to get extra drink or to ask for anything. It’s good place to go for big group for sure.I would use this place for business outing if anyone was craving for German food.

What a fantastic place! My son advised me to try it and I'm glad I did. Food was tasty and well presented. However, because it was only lunchtime both my friend and I only had a small amount. The service was as I like it, attentive, polite and not overpowering. The decor hits the spot for me with that terrific urban vibe. I can't speak highly enough about it

I took my husband here for brunch as he loves pork sausages. The service was great and the food was amazing! I don’t eat sausages, but I tried a little bit and it was really good and I personally love their mashed potatoes. We also tried their chocolate and apricot cake, stunning. We’ll definitely come back.
