Tiroler Hut Restaurant 27 Westbourne Grove London W2 4UA

This Austrian restaurant is a 10 minute walk from Bayswater station.
Upstairs there is a bar selling various Austrian beers and snacks and down
stairs is the restaurant itself. I attended this restaurant with a group of
17 people for my 40th birthday. You need to book a couple of weeks in
advance, even for a week day as this restaurant is popular with groups of
people celebrating various events. When I attended there was another
largish group of people celebrating a 40th birthday. Menus available
include a set menu for parties costing £23.50 for 3 courses at the time of
writing. Entertainment is also provided throughout the meal and people who
have been to Austria tell me that the entertainment as well as the food is
quite authentic. More information can be found by visiting the website at

I started off with a portion of pickled herrings which came with a sour
cream dressing, apple, onions and salad. They wer fairly sweet pickled
herrings and I enjoyed them. This was followed by Bauernschmaus which
consisted of a wooden platter with smoked pork, german sausage, a dish like
black pudding, dumplings and Sauerkraut. The meal was completed by chopped
pancake with raisins and Plum Compote. The variety of meat in the main
dish was pleasing and well bulked out by the dumpling. The Sauerkraut added
a welcome tasty vegetable accompanyment . the pudding was also a generous
portion and over all I was well filled up. While we ate, we got austrian
entertainment. Not surprisingly, songs from The Sound Of Music appeared
regularly.

Due to the entertainment this is not a place where a couple would go for a
romantic meal but if you are looking to celebrate an event with a group of
people this venue is ideal. the atmosphere was relaxed and informal. the
entertainment was fun and, most importantly, the food was excelent. There
was also a small range of german beers and other drinks. More information
is available on the website.

I did not inform staff that I am visually impaired and there were 4 people
with guide dogs and there were no problems at all. Staff were generally
helpful and attentive.

This was a hastle free enjoyable night out. Things can often go wrong when
there are large groups of people attending a restaurant but the Tiroler Hut
caters very well for large parties and I give it 8.5 out of 10. I have no
real complaints but it would have been nice to have tried some of the stuff
from the main menu.
