Why it's worth checking out

The Bavarian Chermside brings a Bavarian-inspired dining experience to Westfield Chermside, combining traditional food and German beer with the more relaxed hospitality associated with Queensland. Located on Gympie Road, the venue is positioned as a local gathering place for meals, drinks and catch-ups rather than a formal dining room. Its lively, laid-back setting suits groups of friends looking for an easy place to meet, particularly when sharing food and raising a stein is part of the plan.

The menu focuses on recognisable Bavarian fare, including pork knuckles, schnitzels and fresh pretzels designed for sharing. There are also salads and vegetarian-friendly dishes for diners after something lighter or without meat. The drinks list includes seven imported German beers, giving the venue a clear point of difference for beer drinkers and reinforcing its German theme. Guests can view the Chermside menu online or make a reservation ahead of their visit.

The venue is part of The Bavarian group, which has Queensland locations in Chermside, Coomera and Mackay, and sits within the wider Hunter Street Hospitality group. That connection also gives diners access to Hunter Street Rewards, a complimentary membership offering dining-related benefits across the group. The site currently promotes a $25 dining credit for new members, subject to its terms and conditions.

For larger get-togethers, the business also offers private events, while the venue’s regular format works for casual meals and social occasions. It trades seven days, opening from late morning and staying open into the evening, with later closing times on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Bavarian Chermside is a practical choice for a relaxed group meal, a German beer with friends or a casual Westfield dining stop, with enough variety to accommodate both hearty eaters and those seeking lighter or vegetarian-friendly options.
