Taste of Europe Bistro

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner here for our date night! The atmosphere is so clean, cozy, comfortable and quaint. Our server was also the owner, Michael. He was so kind, attentive, funny and accommodating. We felt right at home. For our meals we chose the Schnitzel dinner and the Bratwurst dinner. Both were authentic and oh so good!! Of course I had to start with a Dunkel beer straight from the tap. Doesn’t get much better! We can’t wait to go back! If you haven’t tried this wonderful restaurant yet, do yourself a favor and stop in!

Twice my family and I have tried to dine here and twice we’ve been turned away. At 7 PM we showed up in person and we were told they were closed. The second time, we called at 7 PM and were told we could come tomorrow. I won’t go tomorrow, next year, or in this lifetime. If you close at 7 PM, then post your hours as such and stop wasting people’s time.

My husband and I love this place! The food is fantastic, we love the atmosphere, the staff and chef are wonderful people! Authentic German food!

We enjoyed everything. No suggestion on improving

We went there this past Friday with my mom for the first time. It was superb! My mom and I had the schnitzel with spatzle and my husband had the plate with the schnitzel and bratwurst. The schnitzel was very tender and cooked perfectly. My husband praised everything very highly especially the goulash. We took the Black Forest cake home and I wish I had the whole cake! It was light and delicious! The owner served us and he was very nice. He was pleasant to talk to and very attentive to us. Food was served piping hot. We are already making plans to go back! Thank you for a great experience!

If you want real authentic German food, then this is the place. Second time here. Today, I had rouladen. My first time I had sauerbraten. Being raised by a German mom, and frequently having these meals at home, these were exceptional and reminded me of my Mom's comfort meals.

Delightfully authentic

Went for lunch today. Food, service and atmosphere were excellent! Find this small hidden gem
you won’t be disappointed. We will be back!

This quite little hidden gem is a must try if you're in Port Charlotte! Sandra, the owner, is also the chef. Her daily homemade soups are amazing! I loved the fresh garlic on the escargot as well! They have an incredible wine 🍷 list that you have to see for yourself! I'll definitely be returning for lunch again and bringing more friends to this wonderful place. The service was excellent 👌 and the atmosphere is charming!♡

Great service, great food! Our server was outstanding—so personable. The owner even came to our table to have a nice chat. We’ll definitely be back. Very authentic food

Very nice restaurant. Very nice owners.
Highly recommended.

When you walk in, you immediately feel at home. From the rustic furnishings to the amazing smells wafting out of the kitchen, you know your in for a treat. Between Ms. Sandra and Ms. Phoenix (two of the awesome ladies that make the restaurant turn) you will be in gracious and welcoming hands all evening!

This is the first time I’ve been to a place where I didn’t feel comfortable. The owner with white hair is very disrespectful and the food isn’t good

Very quant and intimate. Authentic German bistro.
Got the German Tour which was Sauerkraut, Red Cabbage, Weiner Schnitzel, Bratwurst with mashed potato. I also got a side of their homemade German potato salad. It is the best German potato salad I've had. Took the plum Streusel to go. Was so stuffed

Sweet little corner offering good tasty food at reasonable prices. But there are many schnitzel variations. It would be nice if there was more choice. Parking can be quite tight.
