Customer’s Review:

Classic European restaurant experience, starters land on the table as you arrive that you didn’t order but they are complementary (I think) and include fresh-made soft pretzels and Dutch bitterballs (croquettes). The owner is charming and on hand to chat and the whole experience is just welcoming and charming. The food is hearty Dutch and German fare but done with an eye towards luxury ingredients.. think veal steaks with lobster on top. Rich and tasty. Desserts are divine. Enjoy!

The Concordia Club was founded in 1883 and subsequently relocated to Tempe in 2003. Mackay Park, on the banks of the Cooks River, is conveniently located near Tempe railway station.

  • Good selection of local and imported beers including Veltins, König Pils, and Erdinger on tap

Customer’s Review:

Excellent place for small and large groups. Warm family style. The kids had a lot of fun. Pork knuckle is a must-have. The portion is generous. The live band plays German music and the place is full of happiness. If you need a quiet place to talk to your friends or families, I suggest booking a table outside. They have shelters for outdoor dining areas so rain won’t be an issue.

Opted for the Jaeger Schnitzel, was a very large portion size but a very reasonable price. A bit more of the sauce would have been nice, but there was still a reasonable amount! Would most definitely recommend visiting!
