Old Europe in Glover Park

[Roger Troutman]

How's the food and drink in this joint? It certainly looks intriguing from the outside. I'm a big fan of German cuisine, and Washingtonian says it's the oldest German restaurant in the city. Their asparagus festival is going on right now.

Sietsema always mentions it, says it's a gem. He also raves about the asparagus fest.

Why don't you check it out and report back?

I like Old Europe for what it is - sort of a fusty old Bavarian throwback to the 1970s. I've gone to their asparagus festival a couple of times in recent years, and have always enjoyed it (I definitely recommend getting one of the asparagus dishes). The last time I was there, they had a wonderful older woman playing the piano and singing - that she happened to be blind did not hinder her from shamelessly belting out her music. And the time before that there was a strolling violinist who was actively (and hilariously) angering the waitresses with his vocal outbursts right when they happened to walk by him.

This is definitely not a hip crowd, but would be a wonderful place to take an older parent for their birthday.

Cheers,

Rocks.

The waitresses still wear dirndl skirts.

The place is an institution. You should absolutely check it out.

Just had lunch at Old Europe for their Oktoberfest celebration. They have a fantastic Oktoberfest Bock which I enjoyed with their Wurst platter (weiss, brat and bauern wurst), potato pankcakes and superb sauerkraut. a bargin at $10.95!
