Von Essen in Bragg Creek offers the best Schnitzel and Spätzle, served in a cozy setting. The food is authentic and delicious, with large portions that satisfy every time. The Schnitzel has been praised as the most authentic outside of Europe, and the pork medallions are also very good. Guests appreciate the friendly service and warm atmosphere, making it a great place to experience German cuisine in Alberta. The owner, Dominik, is very friendly and attentive, often coming to the table to ensure a good experience. The restaurant features a selection of drinks, including refreshing Stiegl on tap. Everything is authentic and made from scratch, and guests enjoy the incorporation of German cuisine with locally sourced items. The restaurant also makes its own bread and jams, which are a hit. Although the food and atmosphere are highly praised, some reviews mention that hiring a seasoned server could improve the service experience, as the current staff sometimes seem stressed and pressed for time. Overall, Von Essen is a welcoming spot for authentic German food, offering a cozy and elegant environment for a satisfying meal. It is recommended to call ahead if visiting with a larger group.
