Love the food, the value for money varies some dishes are some aren't. Deserts at $12 each is a bit steep. The atmosphere is always good, the live music good, the beer cold. Service is sometimes a bit slow on the bar.The smallgoods shop is a bonus.   (See my reviews (15) - November, 2009)

I was waiting for yet another delayed Qantas flight when I decided to take my colleague for a good German feed. I had not been to Elmar's before but had heard good reports.

For myself, I lived in Germany for 8 years and love German dishes.

I was not disappointed. In fact, the leberkaese was true to the mark. My colleague enjoyed the taster plate and the huge bowl of scotch broth.

The only thing missing .... a good himbee or willi after the meal ( for the uninitiated .. types of schnapps).

If you love German food, try the delicatesen. I bought some kasseler and myself and my wife enjoyed them thoroughly. The wurst are also superb with a great smoke flavour.

I live in Sydney but can't wait to get back to Perth to do this again.

Small warning ... the Schweinshaxe is mega big .... share it!   (Strangy - July, 2008)

MAy have been overloaded for mothers day but cant see how it got the rating it has in menu log of ovver 8. Ignored us when we got there the opposite of being made welcome. Did not want to provide a menu once seated. Had to ask twice for water when it should have been provided automatically. Had "run out" of ribs then why over book for the 2.30 sitting. I found nothing positve to recommend it above others. Maybe I got the wrong idea of what it was supposed to be but it needs a touch of Ramsey and I'd never go there again.   (May, 2008)

Prawn Cocktail entree: Cooked prawns and salad sauce. This all appreared to be made up of 'bought-in' pre-prepared products and not made up fresh at the reataurant. Elmar’s Ham Platter (Elmar’s Schinken Platte): selection of Elmar’s famous ham; potato salad, mixed pickles; gourmet bread. The watery potato salad appeared to be a 'bought-in' pre-prepared variety   (May, 2008)

The food was excellent at Elmars - absolutely delicious. All of my guests were impressed by the cuisine. The staff were helpful but need some charm, or need to be much friendlier. For the prices charged and the fact that we had a booking for close to 50 people, I had expected more fuss (such as, "is everyone ok?" for a start). As it was a booking for a joint 30th birthday, some recognition for the two birthday guests would have also been appreciated. The staff's charisma does not match the presentation of the venue.   (May, 2008)

Service was very slow and we had to wait a long time to place our order and since they weren't that busy I don't know why   (March, 2008)

Nice location and ambiance food very average for price range, meat was tough. Service OK beer good.   (bimco - See my reviews (10) - January, 2008)

Nice ambiance good service average food and not that great value for money for what you pay. Good beer though.   (January, 2008)

Very nice :)   (January, 2008)

We found it to be Over priced and the there was not a lot of choices on the menu, when paying we were told there was a ser charge and we were not told about this befor eating.   (James - October, 2007)
