Great German food restaurant. Smoked pork knuckle and pork chops are to die for. Applestrudle is also very good. Feels like being back in germany. Service is good and fast.
Delicious food and good service.
One of the nicest owners you’ll ever meet. Great place for a beer and food after visiting Santa Teresa.
I really liked the food here! The pudín de leite is delicious as well!
Super Place, Super Food, Super Drink and SUPER FLAVIO!
Wow! Bar Ernesto is an awesome German-style restaurant! Schnitzel with Potato Salad, the Apple Strudel! Yummy! And, the best - great dark German bier!!! High recommend! Adjacent to the vibrant Escadaria Selarón!!!
Lovely place with a history, the food was delicious and the drinks were great
Phenomenal schnitzel and potato salad, fresh schwartzbier, this place was incredible. Absolute top recommendation.
Restaurant with excellent homemade food! Wiener schnitzel is soft and tasty, more importantly, made in fresh oil. Picanha was very soft with homemade chips. Generous portions. Excellent coffee. Service is fast and friendly. Parking is available near by and restaurant provides wifi. Warm recommendation!
My friends and I had a good time here! The food came out quick and tasted amazing (I am German so I know). The portions are big and the prices are reasonable 😀 The owner is really nice and shared his story with us.
