Surprise!!
Tonight Sylvia, one of our staff members, surprised her mother with a bouquet of red roses and a dessert with a candle for her birthday. To top it off Sylvia had bought her mother a golden ring with a red stone. She was visibly surprised.
Sylvia’s parents and family came to the States from Russia.
Having Fun with An Engagement Photosession
Robert and Kelly came to visit Louisville last weekend to finalize some last wedding plans. His sister Nina took the opportunity to shoot some fun engagement photos of the two. It was their idea to pose in traditional German clothing: Robert in Lederhosen and Kelly in a Dirndl. Looks like the two are ready for work!!
Gasthaus to close May 9 & 10, 2008
Dear valued guests,
The Gasthaus will be closed on May 9 & 10, 2008 for the wedding of Robert Greipel, the owners’ son, and his beautiful fiance Kelly Corneiller. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
Sincerely,
Your Gasthaus Team
Gemuese Fleischtopf
Our new dinner special is the Gemuese Fleischtopf or a German Beef Stew. Tender cubes of beef are cooked in a rosemary red wine sauce and vegetables such as tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. It is served with Spaetzle, our home-made noodles.
Asparagus Salad
Our new Chef Salad is Asparagus Salad. We cook garden fresh asparagus a la minute right before it’s mixed with tomatoes, mandarin oranges and red onions. It’s tossed in a sour-cream dressing and served on top a bed of lettuce.
Sauerkraut Soup
Sorry, for the delay, but we’ve been busy serving our new special soup: Sauerkraut Soup!!! It’s been a hit with our guests!! It’s a brothy soup with Sauerkraut, potatoes and smoked pork loin. And in case you didn’t know, Sauerkraut is an excellent source of Vitamin C.
About
A Little Gasthaus History
***The Gasthaus German Restaurant is currently closed to in-house dining until further notice***
On December 18th, 1993, after months of remodeling, the Greipel Family, all born and raised in Germany, except the oldest daughter Simone (born in London, England), finally opened the “Gasthaus” at its present location.
Executive chef/owner Michael Greipel together with his kitchen team, create authentic dishes from Old World recipes. Annemarie Greipel, her daughter Nina and the friendly staff are responsible for taking care of the guests, many of them regulars.
Since opening in 1993, the menu has grown from a few items to a large selection. Everything is made from scratch, using only the finest and freshest ingredients. Michael handpicks all his meats, fruits and vegetables daily. Annemarie and her daughter Nina make all the desserts daily, in house from family recipes.
While most of the entrees are ‘a la carte’, special requests are gladly accommodated after a short consultation with the chefs.
Parties and take-out orders are welcomed.
The Gasthaus can seat approximately 60-70 people. The décor, which includes two ‘Chalets,’ is a mixture of family pictures and personal items from the Greipel’s home in Germany (Bochum) and gifts from guests. A family member painted the two murals on the walls. The female servers, several of them from Germany or Europe, wear traditional Dirndl dresses.
The whole restaurant is available for private parties or special occasions. There has even been a real wedding in one of the ‘Chalets’. For many years ‘Wave 3’ TV (NBC affiliate) has broadcast a live show from the restaurant.
The Gasthaus Team has taken part in cooking demonstrations on TV as well as the ‘Home and Garden Show’.
The Gasthaus consistently receives positive reviews from newspapers and magazines. The ‘Guide to the Best Restaurants in America’ has named the Gasthaus ‘The Best German Restaurant’ in Louisville for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
People visit from all over America and the world, which the guest books confirm. The whole Gasthaus Team, many of them having been there since ‘day one,’ take great pride in everything they do.
The Gasthaus is conveniently located on the corner of I-264 (Watterson Express Way), Brownsboro Road and Rudy Lane. The address is 4812 Brownsboro Center, Louisville, Ky 40207.
We are currently close for in-house dining as we are searching for a buyer with a German Heart to take over the restaurant. We thank you for your understanding!
