Gasthaus zum Grünen Baum

The Gasthaus zum Gruenen Baum is a down-to-earth, unspoilt tavern of just the kind you hope to find in the narrow, cobbled lanes of Passau's old town. Dark wood, cosy vaulted parlours, old tavern tables and a warm, often family-run service shape the atmosphere. This is not about fashionable styling but about everything that makes a good Old Bavarian inn: hospitality, honest portions and the feeling of being genuinely welcome.

The menu features Old Bavarian classics done well: crispy roast pork with bread dumplings, Leberkaes with a fried egg, hearty Kasspatzn and, depending on the season, game dishes from the nearby Bavarian Forest or fresh asparagus in spring. Changing specials and lunch dishes ensure that even regulars keep discovering something new. The moderate price level makes it a reliable everyday address.

Thanks to its location away from the biggest visitor flows yet still central between the cathedral and the town hall, the Gruener Baum is an insider tip for everyone seeking a proper snack and a freshly tapped beer in a genuine tavern setting. Whether after a stroll through the city, over lunch or during a cosy evening with friends, here you meet the original, unaffected Passau.
