    A gem of Munich this steakhouse is definitely a must stop. If the selection of meat seems to intimidating or tough to decide, the skewer is a great option with fries or truffle cream gnocchi. Just reading the menu will leave you salivating, well worth the little extra you may be paying. Wine selection is great and is a nice break from the typical Bavarian meals if you're here visiting. Highly recommend calling for a reservation. Cheers

    If your mouth is watering for a good piece of meat then you will not have to look any further than El Gaucho. We arrived here without a reservation a little after 3pm and were seated without a problem. The restaurant is small and cozy, with a trendy modern vibe. If you have lived in Germany for awhile, you know how hard it is to find a place that serves good steak. I was amazed when I saw that El Gaucho served filet and was even more amazed when it was served at the perfect medium rare temperature, cooked to perfection. There are several sides that you can choose to accompany your meal. The gnocchi with truffle cream sauce was smooth and exquisite. The Brussel sprouts with bacon added an element of crunch to our meal. The leaves were peeled and cooked which added a unique culinary twist to the flavor of the dish. We also had the mashed potatoes, which were a little bland and devoid of taste. The service was spot on here and though our server spoke in broken English, he spoke in English and was easy to understand. This can always be a struggle when traveling in another country, sometimes you don't know what you are ordering and hope for the best. Here the staff is eager to help you choose a dish that you will find delicious. Make sure when you order wine that you make it a double. I've read some other reviews on here that the price was expensive, but if you are in America, a $10 glass of wine is not that expensive. Our tab came to a little over 100 Euros for the two of us. Three sides, two steaks (250 grams), cream soup, wine, coffee and a large water. The biggest expense was the filet. We got the middle priced steak for $32. All in all, I would highly endorse a visit to this remarkable restaurant, it is definitely worth the visit.

    This place was amazing I love the atmosphere, the. If variety of wines and cocktails but best of all is the steak, I don't even eat red meat but in this place it's a must. Delicious is not even the word.. the waiter and stuff are very attentive and polite..

    The location in the town is perfect. The steaks are great and caesar salad is good! Friendly staff too!

    ‼ Vorsicht: Mäuse im Gastraum Ich war heute zum Essen hier…read moreund leider war es insgesamt eine enttäuschende Erfahrung. Während wir im Gastraum saßen, sind Mäuse sichtbar zwischen den Tischen hin- und hergelaufen. Auf Nachfrage beim Kellner hieß es, das Problem sei bereits seit mindestens zwei Tagen bekannt und der Chef kümmere sich darum. Eine wirkliche Entschuldigung oder ein professioneller Umgang mit der Situation erfolgte jedoch nicht. Das hat bei uns ein sehr ungutes Gefühl hinterlassen. Auch kulinarisch konnte der Besuch leider nicht überzeugen. Ich hatte US Prime Beef bestellt, es war das qualitativ schlechteste Steak dieser Art, das ich bisher gegessen habe: faserig, geschmacklich sehr schwach und insgesamt enttäuschend. Zudem wurde unsere Beilage (Knoblauchbaguette) vergessen. Positiv hervorheben möchte ich, dass der Kellner freundlich und bemüht war. Dennoch war die Gesamt-Experience deutlich unter den Erwartungen. Ich hoffe, dass hier sowohl hygienisch als auch qualitativ nachgebessert wird.

    What an awesome spot! I called morning of for a booking that evening as there was no availability…read morelisted on OpenTable. I was able to get myself down for a reservation for 1 that evening. Excellent service. I arrived a bit early and was seated (30 mins before my reservation time). Was promptly asked if they could check my coat for me. My server greeted me right away and took my drink order. I speak English and she was very friendly to me, and gave me an English menu. I had some questions about a specific cocktail, and she was patient with me, and took the time to go ask the bartender if they knew how to make it. She was able to explain very well the menu and answer any questions I had. The food was delicious. I ordered a filet mignon and a side of the seasonal vegetable (asparagus) and truffled mashed potatoes. So delicious! I ate every bit. I did not get a sauce in the steak because as per my server's recommendation, the steak itself has plenty of flavor and does not need a sauce. This is true! Tip when it comes to the al la carte sides (the steak did not come with a side). The sides are very small. Not family style. So don't expect to share them unless you aren't very hungry. You can see them on the background of my steak photo. The steak is about 8 oz. For dessert, the Juicy Piña is a must try! So delicious and so Instagram worthy. Overall, 10/10 recommend this place!!

    We went to dine at Little London as it was a recommendation provided by a friend. While the food…read morewas decent, we had an unpleasant surprise by a mouse by our feet. The table next to us had spotted the mouse and then we quickly saw it running around in our section. For this nice of a restaurant, it was quite a surprise! Another couple came to join our section and the mouse ran up the guys leg! After talking to our hotel about this they said it's very unusual and dirty for a mouse to actually be inside of a restaurant. We lost our appetite and did not finish our meals. When the waitress asked if we would want another glass of wine she would pour it over our already existing glass with wine still inside filling it up to the original amount not giving us a proper pour. Our bottle of water was also charged at 18€. Overall, I do not think it was worth the price. Our bill was expensive for a mouse to be running around our feet the entire dinner!

    Great place and convenient for us due to our stay just around the corner. We have been in Europe…read morefor about 2 weeks, and sometimes a good burger is needed! We have looked forward to all the dishes that aren't readily available at home, but sometimes good ole comfort food is what we need. This fit the bill. My wife had a salads and I opted for the cheese burger with added bacon, and a side of fries. The drinks were great as well, We so wish that the U.S. would adopt the serving style where the alcohol is in the glass and they bring the soda in a bottle to be added at the table. In the U.S., it usually comes from a soda gun that might, or might not be clean, and is always flat. My burger was cooked medium, with a bit of pink, just the way I like it. The fries were soft in the middle with a slight crunch to them, with flaky salt. My wife's salad had a bit too much dressing for her tastes but I thought it was good. We have started sharing meals this way, as our appetites are smaller now that we are getting a bit older.

    While there is no direct correlation to Hamburg, Germany, the word hamburger does originate here…read more And while Munich is on the clear other side of the country, The Beef Crew here know their hamburger. For my first time here I tried their "Cheese Explosion Burger". This monster lives up to its name! I forget how many cheeses this thing has because quite frankly I never heard of some of them before. But rather than ketchup, mayo, or some special dressing...this burger comes with nacho cheese as its condiment. Again the name: Cheese Explosion. As you can see from my photo it is also garnished with two kinds of fried cheese skewered to the top bun. Cheese Explosion. At the risk of stating the obvious: this is a burger for folks who love cheese. Also, if you don't like pink in your burger...make sure to tell them. They serve all their burgers medium.

There is a part of me that has an issue going to a restaurant and having to cook your own steak ;-) mind you I happily do that at a Korean BBQ or Japanese restaurant :-) My company had organized an evening here for customers, so I went along. It is located on a quiet street and is an open plan restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are extremely attentive and welcoming and, for service they get 5 stars. They explained everything to the guests and got us on our way with drinks quickly. The concepts here is, you get mixed starters and you choose your cut of steak (no veggies here). I just went for the biggest one, the flank steak lol. I believe this is also the normal way in which the restaurant operates. Our starter was beef carpaccio, smoked fish and goats cheese with bread. It was very good. My steak was excellent and tender and, I cooked it rare. Tender and delicious, I wanted another one ;-)) the primitivo wine I had was also superb. I would happily come back here again. I can't tell you value for money, as we did not have to pay ;-)) good steak, nice ambience and excellent service. If you like steak chances are you might enjoy the experience of grilling it yourself and not have to clean up ;-))

Because the steak is delivered to your table raw the quality is really good and if is over cooked - you only can blame yourself! They have plenty of other good dishes on the menu if you'd prefer a more typical dinning experience; as you may imagine this "theme" does attract more large groups of families and work colleagues but there are plenty of booths and single tables available. The service was brilliant; very friendly staff who seemed to enjoy explaining their concept and menu to you

This is a big indoor restaurant which seats well over 80-100 people. They have a small area of outside seating as well. Had it not been for service, the long time it took to get our meals and, the total lack of vegetarian choices, I would have given this place 5 stars. It's an expensive steakhouse and I was in love ;-))) Meat is the centerpiece of this restaurant. They have daily steak recommendation and, you can see lots of steak aging when you step into the place. All of their steaks were of European origin, which I like :-) the menu has a few other choices like pork, fish and maybe one or two vegetarian dishes. Steaks here are priced at €25 and above at dinner time. We decided to order a Tomahawk and shared it between 3. If you are super hungry you can share it between 2. This is 1kg minimum including the bone...one of my favourite cuts :-)))) Have not seen one in Munich to date. It was cooked to perfection and I loved it. It took about an hour or more for our food to arrive and our waiter was also very slow. People around us that arrived later than we did, had their food long before we could get ours. The vegetarian choice on the menu was very ordinary and tasted horrible. It was a tempura nori roll something and it was pretty ordinary. I would definitely come back here for steak. They do have breakfast and lunch served here as well. I will come back and try when it's not so busy. It was noisy as the whole restaurant is pretty open and, noise carries easily. It's expensive but good steak in Munich generally is. If you are a steak connoisseur you will like this place ;-)) If you are a vegetarian best to avoid it.
