Food was really delicious but portions were a bit on the smaller side if you order anything except the schnitzel. Prices were spa resort prices so a bit pricey but added to the ambience . I find it ridiculous to have to pay $7 for a side of gravy but I guess this costs comes with the location

Great atmosphere and food! The restaurant itself is amazing, but the food is just as equally amazing! Nothing pretentious at all, simple amazing food full of flavor. Had the schnitzel and it truly was the star of the dinner, cooked golden brown and crispy I added the Hunter's sauce and wow made it all that much better! Take the time to check them out worth the trip

Stayed at sparkling hill and this place was a blessing to have. Very friendly staff, cool building and vibe, and the food and drinks are fantastic. Will probably be driving out there just for the restaurant now that we know it's there for all.

Authentic 'alpenländisches' food & Bavarian beer. A small gem.

Food was okay. Bratwurst was meh and the bun it came with was harder and dry didn't come with butter. Sauerkraut(sp?) was good but wouldn't order again. Definitely order the breaded pork schnitzel if you go here. The sides were awesome with it. Only complaint about it is it should have came with sauce on it. I think sauce was an extra $7 which is a bit crazy considering it's already pricey. The building was super cool and good atmosphere it was interesting learning about the history and trying the drinks.

Do not order the Pork Schnitzel. It was very very dry and over fried. The roasted potatoes were not hot and I ordered the mushroom Sauce and it tasted like a canned mushroom soup. Very disappointed for a high end resort.
My friend had Vegan cabbage roll - very delicious and not enough portion.
Looked forward to my dinner and not someplace I would recommend for the schnitzel at least.

This authentic, wooden, Austrian-inspired multi-roomed, cozy restaurant has fantastic comfort foods like pork knuckle, pork and chicken schnitzel and homemade apple strudel to warm you up on cold winter nights.
Stunning panoramic views of Lake Okanagen and proximity to Sparkling Hills makes this farmhouse a must-see!
Staff are friendly and prices are reasonable.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gernie's Farm House, and I must say it was an absolute delight. As someone with Austrian heritage, I was thrilled to find such an authentic Austrian restaurant in town. From the moment I walked in, I felt transported to the Austrian Alps.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with traditional Austrian decor that added to the authenticity of the experience. The menu was full of classic Austrian dishes and I was impressed with the selection. Karys Vos, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and pronunciation of the German dishes, which added to the overall experience.

The flavors were spot on, just like something my Opa would make. My dining companions also raved about their dishes.

Overall, I highly recommend Gernie's Farm House to anyone looking for a taste of Austria. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top notch. I even called my grandfather, who is a patriotic Austrian native, to tell him about the wonderful experience I had. I will definitely be coming back to Gernie's Farm House in the future. Prost!

My wife and I visited on a Thursday at about 7pm, while staying at Sparking Hill. There was no wait, it wasn't too busy. The place looks pretty authentic Austrian, even in small details like measuring beer in half a litre instead of ounces. Their raspberry radler was really good!

We both took the pork Schnitzel, since it seemed to be their signature dish. It was really good! It comes with potatoes, they were good but I've had better in Germany/Austria. They could have been a bit softer on the inside, yet crispy on the outside.

The prices were reasonable, except the mushroom sauce, which was a 7 dollar add-on, it felt pricey in comparison to the other menu items.

We shared the apple strudel for desert, with an ice cream add-on and it was delicious.

I would definitely recommend coming here. I kind of regret not trying the pretzel and goulash for lunch.

We didn’t expect having to walk through a glitzy resort to get to the restaurant, but the hike through the resort to find the farmhouse perched on a hillside with a spectacular view of the lake and valley below is worth it. The room in which we were seated felt too new to be original, which was somewhat disappointing, but other parts of the interior were definitely rustic. Note that old European farmhouse windows will make it difficult to take in the views outside while dining.

The food was excellent and the service generally good.

Kid-friendliness: No children under 16 allowed.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are signs suggesting a shuttle is available from reception for assistance getting to the restaurant. The walk through the resort requires a VERY steep paved hill and many stairs.

Wowee! This place is awesome! The German farmhouse vibes are on point! The authentic atmosphere is cozy and clean - a lovely space to enjoy a pint and some food. Our server was a German man who was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. My partner and I are vegan and we ordered the cabbage rolls and shared a pretzel - both were delicious! I recommend adding a side of dijon mustard with the pretzel 🥨 it comes with a sweet grainy mustard that was a bit too sweet for me on its own but when mixed with dijon it was perfect. We washed our meal down with a dark wheat beer and loved every sip.
I highly recommend checking this little gem out if you’re ever visiting Sparkling Hill. I hear the patio is beautiful in the summer - we were visiting over Christmas break. Definitely will be back.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan 🌱 options
