Favorite food in Leavenworth

Rouladen with Spaetzle and Rotkraut at King Ludwig’s

One of our favorite things to do in Leavenworth is eat. We start talking about our favorite places to eat long before we go and about new places we want to try before we arrive. Of course we have several old favorites, so trying new places is always a challenge. On our most recent trip we tried several new places. Here are some of our favorites. Perhaps we’ll inspire you to try something new or revisit an old favorite.

We love German food in Leavenworth. You can get sausage samplers in almost any restaurants. The sausage bites at Rudloofs Pizza are good, made with locally made sausages and housemade sauerkraut. This trip we tried two German entrees at King Ludwig’s.

We especially enjoy the German food and Bavarian atmosphere of Andreas Keller. The sausage sampler is very good here. You’ll find them downstairs. There is an elevator for accessibility.

We always stop at SOUTH. Its great fresh Mexican menu is a nice break from brats and kraut.
