The Bavarian Chef has been operated continuously by the Thalwitz family since its opening in 1974. Its cuisine is distinctively German and all the food is prepared onsite using Thalwitz recipes. Its recipes are sought after but can only be discovered with the senses.
When Eckhard and Bruni Thalwitz opened the Bavarian Chef in 1974, it quickly became a local favorite, renowned for its incredible portions of authentic German food and warm hospitality. Classically trained, Eckhard worked as a private chef for the King of Morocco prior to coming to the United States. He has trained many chefs including a 5-star restauranteur/chef.
Eckhard and Bruni Thalwitz were attracted to central Virginia by the mountain vistas of Madison County and started The Bavarian Chef. Their son, Jerome, has owned and operated the restaurant since 1987 and is its executive chef. Jerome trained under his father and in Bavaria.
