1. Der Backmeister
Address: 40, Persiaran Zaaba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur
Phone: +60328560613
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 7 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – 8 AM to 5:30 PM
German Bread immediately felt like the kind of place you’d want to return to—not overly fancy, just warm, familiar, and filled with that comforting smell of fresh loaves coming out of the oven.
The team spoke so casually about their craft that it was easy to understand why people keep recommending them. They’ve been around for several years now, and you can tell they take real pride in doing things the traditional German way, from rustic breads to hearty meatloaf plates and classic cafe-style bites.
But right in the middle of all that charm, one drawback stood out: the restaurant sits on a raised level above the street. If you or someone you’re dining with uses a wheelchair or has limited mobility, getting inside might take a bit more effort than expected.
Aside from that, German Bread has a genuinely friendly atmosphere. The staff were easy to talk to, the space felt cosy without being cramped, and the overall vibe made the visit feel relaxed and unrushed.
Awesome and authentic German variety of breads

Food and drinks are worth the price
“Slightly crowded on a Sunday, 9am but the food came really fast. Both meals n drinks are worth the price. All breads are also made without adding sugar”

2. Christoph’s
Address: 55, Lorong Stewart, George Town
Phone: +60108010188
Business Hours:
- Monday to Wednesday – 6 to 11:55 PM
- Thursday – 12 to 3 PM | 6 to 11:55 PM
- Friday – 12 to 3 PM | 6 to 10 PM
- Saturday – 12 to 3 PM | 6 to 11 PM
The first thing that we noted before even stepping inside Cristoph’s was the parking situation. The area is tight, and finding a spot took longer than expected, so you might prefer arriving by public transport to avoid the hassle.
Once the part was over, the experience shifted for the better. Christoph’s has been around for a number of years, and you can feel that blend of Austrian-South German tradition and modern dining the moment you walk in.
The space is small in a good way: warm lighting, calm atmosphere, and a layout that makes it feel more like a living room than a restaurant.
Their team explained their menu with the kind of patience that makes you feel comfortable asking anything, whether it’s about their schnitzel method or how they pair wines from Austria, Italy, and France.
Dishes arrived steadily, and the flavours matched the detailed descriptions we heard before ordering.
We also noticed how other diners often praised the attentive service, and our own interaction with the staff matched that impression—friendly, steady, and never rushed.
Really good food
“Food was really good and the dining environment was small but cozy. The waitress was polite, friendly, and helpful. Thanks for the recommendation — we loved our food!”
– Tan Yee Qing, Google Review
Very authentic Austrian-South German food
“An unexpected small slice of Austria in Penang, very authentic and great food made and served by the owner Christoph, you can taste the care and thought put into the food and ingredients as its made with care. Its incredibly rare for us to find such authentic Austrian food in Southeast Asia, even in international cities such as Singapore. They carry a great selection of Austrian wine too, try the soufflé dessert, its like an eggy sweet cloud served on a bed of lingonberry sauce”

3. Wurst
Address: 15-G, Persiaran Ara Kiri, Bangsar, 59100 Wilayah Persekutuan, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur
Phone: +60124234588
Business Hours: Monday to Sunday – 11 AM to 11 PM
Walking into Wurst felt immediately casual and inviting, the kind of place where you can relax without overthinking your order. The concept is simple: you pick your sausages or cuts, and they cook everything fresh, but the flavours were far better than expected.
The smoked garlic sausage had that juicy snap you want, and the oyster blade came out tender with just the right amount of char. Their sides added a lot to the meal too—the stuffed portobello and baked potatoes were standouts.
Portions were generous, which works well if you enjoy sharing, and the staff made everything easy. They explained each sausage clearly, recommended pairings, and kept the service warm without crowding the table.
The only drawback? Parking around the area is quite limited, so you should arrive early or commute to avoid circling the block.
Awesome customer service
“Seafood paella was good as usual but it was a little overcooked, which I have mentioned to them just as a feedback – they refused to charge us the paella in the final bill and also all the desserts were on the house as an apology. We were so touched by their sincerity and awesome customer service. Wagyu stake was so good as well. Definitely we will go back again for sure.”
– Saito Amina, Google Review
Will definitely come back
“As the name implies, a whole host of sausages to pick from and a great selection of other meats. I had 4 of the spicier options and they were all good and flavourful. For side dish, had the ceaser salad an the guanchale carbonara. The salad was really good. The carbonara was tasty but the guanchalle was a bit over fried. They have a selection of craft beers too and some softdrink choices. The asam Boi lime soda was a bit to sweet for me but tasted good. Overall will definitely come back. To try other sausages and different sides.”

4. Weissbrau German Bistro and Bar
Address: Lot 3.05.02 Level 3, Pavilion, 168, Bukit Bintang Rd, Bukit Bintang
Phone: +60321420288
Business Hours: Monday to Sunday – 10 AM to 12 AM
Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar has that lively, open-air energy you expect from a place built around beer culture.
The team talked easily about their Belgian and German selections, and the food menu leaned heavily into hearty, familiar dishes: pork platters, sausages, schnitzels, and snacks made for sharing.
It’s the kind of spot where you can stop by after walking around Bukit Bintang and immediately settle into a relaxed rhythm with your group.
The only thing that disrupted the flow a little was the availability of certain dishes. Quite a number of items on the menu were unavailable during the visit, and that meant adjusting orders on the spot.
It wasn’t a major setback, but it may disappoint you if you walk in expecting something specific from the usual menu.
In fairness, the service here is fast, and fresh draught beers are always available. The beers tasted crisp, the food came out hot, and the atmosphere stayed friendly even during busier hours.
If you enjoy pairing a cold pint with simple, flavourful bar bites, this bistro fits the bill.
German beer here is great

5. Zum Stammtisch German Restaurant & Bar
Address: 18-G, Jalan Medan Setia 2, Bukit Damansara
Phone: +60127317877
Business Hours:
- Monday to Thursday, Sunday – 11 AM to 10 PM
- Friday to Saturday – 11 AM to 11 PM
Stammtisch has that warm, tavern-style atmosphere that instantly makes you feel like you’re settling in for a long, relaxed meal.
The staff kept things friendly and easygoing, and the whole place leans into the idea of everyone being part of their regulars, which fits the community-style dining they’re known for.
The dishes came out looking rustic and generous, especially the pork knuckle and ribs that most people seem to rave about. Both had that crisp-outside, tender-inside balance you want from German comfort food, and the sides tied everything together without feeling heavy.
Right in the middle of the meal, the downside became clear—some dishes are pricey since they didn’t fully meet our expectations for the cost.
Anyway, the bee arrived cold, the service stayed attentive, and the atmosphere made lingering at the table feel natural. If you enjoy sharing hearty plates with friends or want a spot that brings that German tavern charm to Malaysia, this place fits the mood!
