I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine in this beautiful 150 year old restaurant. My review comes after its closure but it serves to honor the restaurant in hosting my visit. The Building is amazing where the walls and ceilings act as palettes for beautiful painted art. Stepping into the restaurant feel as if one is stepping through a time portal where one feels they are dining 151 years ago which is how old the building is. The ambiance is quite lively and energetic. Although the highlight is the space, the food is also very good. Their pretzels are served warm and fresh with a firm exterior and an interior that melts as it enters one's mouth. The soup is flavorful and healthy with not even a drop of oil pooling to the top. The schnitzel is as tender as it gets. The servers were knowledgeable and fast but it is always so busy that the restaurant should consider increasing staff as to improve customer service. Perfect location right in the heart of Marienplatz where the Glockenspiel is a stone's throw away. Overall, a wonderful restaurant to dine with great food and a beautifully historic setting!

The food was delicious, homemade, and so much comfort food. We ordered a sausage sampler, goulash, and spatzle, all of which I have no critique for. Just damn good food all around.

All in all, I would highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic Bavarian experience and want to know how the Serfs lived back in the day.

Located just behind Old Town on Frauenplatz, it's a little off the beaten track, but not too hard to find. This Bavarian gem has been around for over 125 years. The food was so good. Here you will find traditional German, Bavarian food. We stopped by for lunch and it was packed with mostly locals. We were seated a large table with 3 other couples who were all from the area. One person brought his dog who kept running under the table to sniff my leg. Minus the dog, this was a treat and everyone was so nice. We even toasted when the cold Augustiner beer arrived. Again, we were told to order the sausages so we did. I ordered the 6 and my husband ordered the 8 sausages with sauerkraut. These looked like what we call breakfast sausage, they're thin but pack a a ton of flavor and were delicious, especially with the fresh sauerkraut. The staff was friendly and helpful with an English version menu. The atmosphere was cool and very authentic. Exactly what we were looking for when in Munich.

I stopped by here by myself maybe around 6pm on a Monday and was seated at a table because the bar was full, but told I only had an hour since they were full for reservations. That was totally fine and knew I wouldn't be more than that. If you are coming here with other people, you definitely need to make a reservation. The servers are dressed in traditional German clothes which is a very cool touch. Everyone I spoke to also spoke English. I ordered the schnitzel and whichever beer they recommended with it. I am typically NOT a beer person, but of course I had to try one and whatever this was, was very good. The schnitzel was so crispy and also very delicious. Highly recommend this place!!

We had 1 beer, the bar tender was a bit preoccupied or something and we never even saw a menu. The macaroni and cheese mentioned in the review I had read may well have been the only food offered but I can't say for sure (didn't see the menu). The bar is small and quirky. There is a big wood treen built right inside the door. The two seats there look like they might be comfy, but they were not. The bench was quite far from the bar. So while we came to spend a while and eat a meal, we just had our beer and left. Bummed.

From current reviews it sounds like they may have switched to a digital menu but we had a paper one when we were there. Seriously can't wait to go back and hopefully it's as good as we remember.

The Worst Experience of My LIFE !!!! (Das Schlimmste…read moreErlebnis meines LEBENS !!!!) This restaurant visit ruined what was supposed to be a wonderful day near Christmas. The service was shockingly unprofessional, unfriendly, and, most disturbingly, blatantly racist and discriminatory. Here's what happened during our visit on 20.11.2024, from 19:00 to 20:30: (Dieser Restaurantbesuch hat einen sonst wunderschönen Tag kurz vor Weihnachten vollkommen ruiniert. Der Service war schockierend unprofessionell, unfreundlich und, was am schlimmsten ist, offen rassistisch und diskriminierend. Hier ist, was während unseres Besuchs am 20.11.2024 von 19:00 bis 20:30 passiert ist:) 1. Unfriendly and Hostile Behavior When we ordered drinks, the female server practically threw the beer mat onto our table, displaying an outright lack of courtesy. (1. Unfreundliches und Feindseliges Verhalten Als wir Getränke bestellten, warf die weibliche Bedienung den Bierdeckel praktisch auf unseren Tisch - ein vollkommen respektloses Verhalten.) 2. Disruptive Conduct During the Meal While we were eating, she carelessly threw items intended for other tables onto ours, disrupting our meal in the most unpleasant way. (2. Störendes Verhalten während des Essens Während wir aßen, warf sie achtlos Dinge, die für andere Tische bestimmt waren, auf unseren Tisch und störte dadurch unser Essen auf die unangenehmste Weise.) 3. Inappropriate Comments During Payment During the payment process, which we handled one by one, the card machine malfunctioned briefly. The server sarcastically remarked, "Thanks to the energy of the table..." or in German, "Die Energie des Tisches..."--a completely unnecessary and rude comment when we were simply sitting quietly and waiting. (3. Unangebrachte Bemerkungen beim Bezahlen Während des Bezahlvorgangs, den wir nacheinander abwickelten, funktionierte das Kartenlesegerät kurzzeitig nicht. Die Bedienung machte daraufhin eine sarkastische Bemerkung: "Danke an die Energie des Tisches..." - oder auf Deutsch: "Die Energie des Tisches..." - eine vollkommen unnötige und unhöfliche Aussage, während wir einfach nur ruhig dort saßen und warteten.) 4. Insulting Treatment After a Complaint After one of the guests at our table expressed dissatisfaction with the service, the server retaliated in an incredibly degrading manner. She used two beer mats to carry our used napkins into the tray, as though we were disgusting or unworthy of respect (see below illustration). This happened even after I had tipped for my part of the meal. (4. Beleidigender Umgang nach einer Beschwerde Nachdem ein Gast an unserem Tisch seine Unzufriedenheit mit dem Service äußerte, reagierte die Bedienung auf eine unglaublich erniedrigende Weise. Sie benutzte zwei Bierdeckel, um unsere benutzten Servietten in ihr Tablett zu legen, als wären wir ekelhafte oder unwürdige Menschen. Und das, obwohl ich meinen Teil der Rechnung bereits mit Trinkgeld bezahlt hatte.) 5. Dismissive Attitude While Ordering At the start, when I tried to order food and drinks together, the server rudely interrupted me, refusing to let me finish my sentence because I mentioned food (Schnitzel) before the drinks. (5. Abweisendes Verhalten bei der Bestellung Zu Beginn, als ich Essen und Getränke zusammen bestellen wollte, unterbrach mich die Bedienung unhöflich und ließ mich meinen Satz nicht beenden, weil ich zuerst das Essen (Schnitzel) erwähnte.) The service was not only terrible but deeply offensive. As a scientist, I am committed to reporting facts accurately, and every detail I've shared here reflects the absolute truth of what we experienced. This dinner, so close to CHRISTMAS, should have been an enjoyable and peaceful experience. Instead, it was destroyed by the disgraceful behavior of the staff. I do not know what we did to deserve such treatment, but I strongly urge anyone considering this place to think twice. If you value your peace of mind, avoid this restaurant--it could ruin your day too! (Der Service war nicht nur miserabel, sondern zutiefst beleidigend. Als Wissenschaftler lege ich großen Wert auf eine präzise und sachliche Beschreibung - und jeder Punkt, den ich hier erwähnt habe, entspricht der absoluten Wahrheit. Dieses Abendessen, so kurz vor Weihnachten, hätte eine angenehme und friedliche Erfahrung sein sollen. Stattdessen wurde es durch das beschämende Verhalten des Personals zerstört. Ich weiß nicht, womit wir eine solche Behandlung verdient haben, aber ich empfehle jedem, der dieses Restaurant in Betracht zieht, dringend, es sich noch einmal zu überlegen. Wenn Ihnen Ihr Seelenfrieden wichtig ist, meiden Sie dieses Restaurant - es könnte auch Ihren Tag ruinieren!)
