Heilig-Geist-Stiftschenke
Heilig-Geist-Stiftschenke und Stiftskeller
A historic Passau tavern dating to 1358, with a vaulted cellar and a grapevine courtyard, famous for Danube catfish and wines from the foundation's own vineyards.
Located at 4 Heilig-Geist-Gasse in the Old Town. It belongs to the Heilig-Geist-Spital foundation, founded in 1358, and has an ancient vaulted cellar and a summer courtyard shaded by grapevines. The focus is Bavarian and Austrian food. Fish are kept in a pond on the premises and come from the foundation's own fishing waters; the signature is Danube catfish. Other offerings include game, home-style dishes, cold platters and Austrian desserts, most notably the “Schlosserbuam,” served with the foundation's own wine. TripAdvisor ranks it first among German restaurants in Passau. It is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays and opens at 11 a.m. on other days. The restaurant asks guests to reserve by phone. It is about an 8-minute walk from the train station.
Opening hours
Friday–Tuesday about 11:00–23:00 (Sunday until 22:00; some Monday and Tuesday afternoons closed); closed Wednesday and Thursday
