Andreas sent tears in my eyes... "Alte Liebe" (Old Love), a beer i drank last 1999 in Germany somewhere at Laberweinting or Neufahrn or somewhere there around... and never again. Thats OK, i drunk a lot of local beers in Germany i could not buy at my homestay. But "Alte Liebe"... i got it in Cebu. Not only this... It was also served in an original glas! I also drink some German "Obstler", and even we are full up to our lips, we also tried the Schweizer Wurstsalat. I did not eat it this way before, and i eat a lot of this kind in bavaria. But it was also ok! We want to go back for Schnitzel and currywurst and some different, but our time in Cebu was too short. We will be back. The Restaurant needs an additional mention: Clean, very clean. A lot of lovefull German details in decoration. You can sit outside or inside in Aircon, it's up to you. Sorry, but so much better than the German style restaurants here in Davao. I think some Germans only in Cebu because of Andreas and his restaurant.

Fantastic beer and food. I had the half liter Bock on draft, and my girl had a 330ml shandy. We started our meal with salads and cheese spinach dip. Then we shared the Swabian style cheese pasta dish, and the beef "Madagaskar" tenderloin with creamy pepper sauce. The steak was phenomenal! We finished it off with warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream and a shot of Jagermeister. All for around $40 USD before tip. The staff was amazing and friendly and our server happily took our picture sitting in the giant foeder barrel table. I highly recommend!!!

The new location is by a busy residential road. Ample parking. Ideal for families, business meetings, get togethers. Reasonably priced. We ordered the jager schnitzel highly recommend it. Potato soup. Chicken cordon bleu.

Excellent food. We arrived late, near closing, but still accommodated. The food was really outstanding. And they have actual draft beer...delicious. Many selections on the menu, I couldn't decide what to order so my wife and I ordered two most popular dishes recommended by the waitress. I don't know the titles, but check my photos. Both dishes were excellent.

Das Bierfass - sort of just completed a recent renovation. The interiors are nicely done; the tables shaped in the form of an actual "Beer Barrel" thus the name. The portions of the food seem quite similar to before when it was still called 'Der kaiserhoff'. Another good highlight is a decent selection of German beer, we selected the Paulaner this time. I have scored it a 4 since now those other beer selections were on stock and if there was a larger selection of sides (mash potato, fries, etc).
