    I struggled to rate this place and thought about it for while and, decided that, the maximum I would give this place is 2.5 stars. Here is my view of the place: Ambience - 4 stars Service - 3 stars Food - 2.5 stars Value for money - 1 star Wow factor - 1 star We were invited to go here by some friends, who had a wonderful experience here, sometime ago and, we all concluded after tonight that, we would not go back here again. I had reasonably high expectations and, I was disappointed to say the least. The ambience here is nice and there is a big open kitchen in the middle. We were so hot by the end of the evening, due to our proximity to the open kitchen. They have a few private rooms for group dining and they looked really nice. All in all, a fairly big place. We were seated very close to a ledge and in a gangway, slightly inconvenient if you ask me. When I made the booking I advised them that we had one vegetarian in our group and, that went totally unnoticed. If you are a vegetarian don't bother going here as, the choice is almost non existent. How a restaurant in today's day and age survives without any decent vegetarian option is beyond me. They had a salad which had ham, a beetroot starter and that was it. If you are a proper vegetarian you almost have no choice here. This is one of those places to be seen rather than, enjoy great food. Had it not been for the bread, we would have left feeling hungry after three courses. The oysters I had was good but not worth the money. The monk fish main that was minimum two person order, looked great when it came out but was overcooked and lacked taste. The sides were also pretty tasteless. The cheese course was nice but nothing to write home about. The coffee at the end was horrible and burnt. We ordered a vegetable side and, specifically asked for it without tomatoes. The dish arrived and all it had was two vegetables and you can guess what one of them was :-(( Unbelievable and the staff were just like, ya whatever. The staff, of which there was plenty, were very welcoming and started off well but as time went on they forgot things at least twice and brought us two wines which were not as advertised in their wine list. This is very poor for an expensive restaurant. I certainly don't intend to go back here. In a city with some great places, the prices here are higher than many great restaurants and, more than some Michelin starred restaurants. I am sure they will do just fine without my patronage. I certainly would not recommend this place to any friends or colleagues. It's highly overrated and overpriced for what it is, a cafe with a nice ambience. I have never hesitated to pay good money for great food and unfortunately tonight, I did.

    Wonderful truffles - all kinds - only 4,90€ right now!

    You can find just about anything you are looking for here (and many things you never knew you even wanted). Best not to make it a habit, but at least stop by and take a look around, taste some free samples if you time it right, and if not splurge on a beautiful and gleichzeitig totally delicious sweet, like a Petit Four or a truffle. If you need something a little more solid beforehand, their 'to go' dishes (meals, salads, etc) are not so expensive for the quality and taste. Considering your options of 'fast food' around town, its actually fairly reasonable in price (think Wiener schnitzel, fleischpflanzerl and tasty, better-than-average potato salads, etc). During the 'Wiesn' zeit, they make hand-decorated Oktoberfest hearts. I had a very cute one made for my niece - smaller (normal) size, for about 7€. I'm hoping it's one that will even be edible since its from Käfer:) It's always a treat just to take a look around the place, regardless of whether or not you buy anything. Afterall, it doesn't cost anything to look right?!

    Käfer is a well known catering company from Munich with deli's in Bavaria, as well as restaurants. They even have their own tent at the Oktoberfest where you may see celebrities. The Schänke is located at their head office in the Prinzregentenstraße. Setting is rustic elegant with some chic decor. The atmosphere is actually casual and comfortable, not stiff at all, which makes it very nice. Service is attentive and very friendly even when the place is packed. They have a nice wine list covering all parts of the world and budgets. You can even find some rarities and older vintages. Their menu is divided into 2 parts, the seasonal specialties and the classic dishes. Everything is well prepared in their open kitchen. Their terrine of duck liver was excellent, as well as their beef carpaccio Cipriani, thinly sliced and very tender. Their Wiener Schnitzel is excellent, I especially like the cranberries that accompanied it. The rib-eye from the lava stone was perfectly cooked to our liking and very tender. Their 2 courses duck from the oven is great, too. The biggest disappointment was the tagliarini with shaved white alba truffle on one occasion. The butter sauce was just watery, that I didn't expect from Käfer. We never made it to desserts as the portions are generous and we were already full after the main course. This place is expensive but good value for money. I have been here twice now and probably will not come back as there are many other choices in Munich.

    I was fortunate to come by this cute little cafe and bakery as it was only a block away from where…read moreI am staying on an impromptu first-time trip to Germany. The space and atmosphere are intimate and cute. The woman who helped me (possibly the owner?) seemed a bit flustered, and admittedly it added to my embarrassment in not being able to speak German as I felt like a bit of an inconvenience. I asked for a traditional German breakfast and was given the Weisswurst and pretzel. FYI - apparently you don't eat the sausage skin-on; you can, but it's considered very touristy. The wurst didn't seem to have a ton of flavor, but whatever, it was my first breakfast in Germany, and when in Rome. The pretzel on the other hand was amazing. So much more flavor and care obviously goes into them than the street pretzels in New York I'm used to. Another FYI - it's standard to tip 10%, and often you have to ask for this to be out in the card before they charge you. However, the woman said they can't do this here, and you must tip in cash, which I didn't have. The woman was not too pleased about this, so do be sure to have cash when you go in. All in all it seems like a very charming place - by the time I left it was filled with locals. I'd like to go back again sometime knowing the things I now do.

    After walking past this place numerous times, I finally decided to turn in on one of my days off…read more.. I was not disappointed. Nice coffee with in the normal price range of coffee in Munich. I have yet to eat here, however what I have seen with the few times that I have been here is good quality and nice selection. It does remind me of something that you would find in NYC, which makes me really want to try the bagel selection that they do have here. Great staff, good seating for groups, and nice out door seating when the weather is at its best.
