A beautiful authentic German restaurant. Very welcoming and friendly service. Food was delicious. We stayed in their cabin for 2 nights (June 2-4) and it was beautiful. Fully stocked pantry, wine, beer, cheese platter. Definitely recommend eating and staying here.

The very first thing you notice at King Ludwig's is the wholeheartedly warm welcome! We happened across the restaurant on a day trip to Maleny and we were particularly looking for somewhere to eat that was 'country', with great food, mountain views and where we could buy alcohol to enjoy with our meal.

We ended up at King Ludwig's and can't rave highly enough about it! Barbara welcomed us at the door with open arms as though we were old friends and when she told us the restaurant was almost fully booked, she apologetically told us that the only table available was on the verandah. No apology necessary!! It was exactly the table we would have asked for! Being the verandah, temps can be a bit cool at this time of year so each chair is draped with a blanket for the patrons' laps. Additionally, there are plastic pull-down 'blinds' that keep out the cold but which don't hinder the view at all. The views are magnificent, right across the entire Glasshouse Mountains landscape and beyond!

The food was absolutely delicious. We had a roast pork dish and a coral trout dish plus a side of the pan fried potatoes. My friend had a large German beer and was thrilled with it.

We lingered for a couple of hours, chatting and taking in the views and we were checked on several times to ensure we didn't need anything else.

The whole atmosphere at King Ludwig's is convivial and relaxed, as though you're at a family occasion where you don't have to cook or wash up.

We can't wait to go back again to repeat the experience!! Thank you to Barbara and staff for a wonderful afternoon :)
