Our meals of schnitzels were almost tasteless and most definitely needed the cranberry sauce to give them any flavour. The sole accompaniment - a tiny bowl of "potato salad" - was a gluggy mess of scraps of overcooked potato in an insipid watery soup, with no sign of onion or mayonnaise. The dishes were nothing like the authentic and traditional dishes which we have enjoyed in Austria, which this restaurant seeks to replicate. Our companions were generally unimpressed with their similarly bland and very small serve of beef stroganoff (more rice than stroganoff) and a mixed plate of meats - pork belly, pork knuckle and sausages.The strudels for dessert were passable but hardly memorable.

Das Edelweiss ist eine seltene Pflanze in den Alpen. Und solche leckeren Schnitzel sind selten in Australien. Wir kommen aus München/Bayern und können mit Überzeugung sagen, dass das Essen und das Bier wirklich sehr gut waren und absolut vergleichbar mit dem bayerischen und österreichischen Original. Natürlich sind die Geschmäcker sehr individuell und jeder muss für sich entscheiden, ob diese Art an Essen ihm schmeckt. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und wir wurden freundlich und zuvorkommend bedient. Wir können die Beschwerden hier an dieser Stelle im TripAdvisor nicht nachvollziehen und empfehlen das Edelweiss, auch wenn es von außen nicht so einladend aussieht.
We had a great night here and they happily took the baby and stroller as well. Great tasty well portioned food which is straight from Europe with hearty sides and exemplary service. We enjoyed so many of our dishes it's hard to pick just one out but the pork knuckle made my sons eyes water with the size and then the tastes. I had the veal in much sorrows which was superb too. Can't go past the schnitties either!! Cabbage, potatoes- all a delight. We felt we were in a side lane in German or Austria enjoying local fare. We will be back
We were pleasantly surprised with this cosy German and Austrian cuisine restaurant. Firstly the ambience was lovely, warm and cosy. The food was typical German style. For example the pork knuckle roast was superb. As we were a family we only had a main so I cannot comment on deserts. If you like red cabbage you will love this place. It is apparently moving to Dee Why so currently it is only open on Friday and Saturday, but still worth a visit. By the way they have a good range of German beers.

We had heard about the Edelweiss and wanted to try the food - especially our friend whose parents were Austrian. Excellent choice of dishes and even two specificallly for vegetarians. We particularly liked being able to have two of the Bavarian liquers. One small drawback was that the last booking was for 6.30 pm and we would not necessarily have wanted to eat as early as this,
If the beer hadn't been good on tap I would struggle to give this joint a 1. The rudest owner, we waited 20 mins as he had stack booked us. A dishes were like they had been heated from a few days before. I love German and Austrian food but those used to the real deal, sadly this is a disappointment.
This is a small and cozy restaurant that I did not expect in Balgowlah. It has very authentic Austrian and German food with good beer to accompany it. Definitely recommended.
A local favourite, food is authentic Austrian, atmosphere is cosy, beers on tap and plenty of schnapps! Always love the service and menu always excites!

Great meal last night for my birthday. Pork knuckle and pork belly were excellent and all else was enjoyed. Great friendly service. Highly recommend.
If you like German style food do not miss this restaurant, can recommend the pork knuckles as the best available on the northern beaches.
