Edelweiss German Restaurant

The overview

A Bavarian evening in an old schoolhouse

Edelweiss has kept German food and culture alive on the south side of Colorado Springs since 1967, a family-owned restaurant that has served more than a million diners its schnitzel, sauerbraten, and house-made bratwurst. Three fireplaces warm the rooms in winter and a Biergarten opens in summer, with strolling musicians on weekend nights.

Set in a historic stone building, Edelweiss is the city's definitive German table — the place locals bring visitors for a stein, a pretzel, and a plate of the old country.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Edelweiss German Restaurant cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
