MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Dear valued guests: The Gasthaus will be closed from December 24, 2009 – January 4, 2010 for Christmas break. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Your Gasthaus Team!
Our desserts tonight!
We have a few new, and interesting desserts to offer tonight. As always supplies are limited and will not last long.
First we have real German Cheesecake, served with home-made berry sauce. We also have a fairly new dessert called Chocolate- Cream Horns. They are puff pastry horns filled with chocolate and pastry cream, covered in sweet oven-roasted almonds.
Finally, we have a Christmas specialty to offer, a Yule Log: (seen at the bottom of this picture)
Specials
Wilted Spinach Salad: Baby spinach tossed in a warm bacon – potato dressing, topped with pine nuts and garnished with tomatoes and endive leaves (one of our most popular salads!)
Gulasch Soup: A tomato based soup with tender beef cubes, bell peppers, onions and garlic
Rosemary Pork Tenderloin Roast: Medallions of pork tenderloin with a rosemary – port wine sauce served with spatzle and red cabbage
WAVE3 listens show was fun!
Last Friday’s WAVE3 listens! show was fun. Annemarie Greipel, owner of the Gasthaus, chatted live on camera with Cindi Sullivan about German food, drinks and Christmas traditions.
A little later in the show Santa even made an appearance and handed out gifts to all in attendance.
Here are some pictures, you can see for yourself:

Dear friends of the Gasthaus!
It’s the time of year again when Cindi Sullivan and her WAVE3 team visit the Gasthaus to tape a live show of WAVE3 listens! Tune in to WAVE3 this Friday, December 4, 2009 at 10am. We think we’ve been nice this year, so if we are lucky Santa might even show up for a visit.
Here are a few pictures from last year, more to come:

Santa showed up last year with gifts for everyone, even the "big" kids.
About
A Little Gasthaus History
***The Gasthaus German Restaurant is no longer open for business – Thank you for 28 years***
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!
