Second visit with work people. Had a lot of what we ordered before and the salmon and chicken pot pie. Great food, great service. It is a great place to try a bunch of different dishes and share. read more

First, the service was the worst experience we have had a a pricey restaurant. Water was not kept full, or even close. I ran out of water twice, had to ask for a refill, and in the end had to take from my partner. We were the 2nd table to be seated at 11:50am and it took a full 15 minutes to even order. The food was bland and dry. The schnitzel was over cooked and bland. The beef goulash was bland, except for the meat pieces, and even the spätzle was just ok. The pretzel was the best part of the meal and was just an appetizer. Only one pretzel, though, but if I were to go back it would only be for that. The waiter seemed to be pushing drinks, but it was lunch and I needed to drive a long way. Maybe service is better if you get their drinks? The chocolate cake was dry and bland...couldn't really taste chocolate or the jam. Presentation was nice and made us really hopeful, but the flavors are nothing like Austria as I know it. The atmosphere was pleasant but seems more bar than restaurant. We won't be going back. For the price you expect more, especially when the bill started with 20%, 22 and 25% tip expected! read more

If you want a touch of Austria in California... this restaurant is it! We had the weinersnitzel one had veal and the other pork to compare... both were good, but for sure the veal was the best! Our waiter, Vincent, was attentive and courteous. He looked after us very well! Because it was a special occasion for us, we ordered the Salzburg knockerel for dessert. In Salzburg we were told to order it early because it takes awhile to bake... but here we waited awhile since we ordered it AFTER we finished dinner. Sure enough, we waited a LONG TIME for the dessert... BUT IT WAS VERY WORTH THE WAIT!!! Delicious! And it came with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. Would definitely go again! read more

We are Europeans and wanted to try this restaurant for some time. The menu doesn't have a lot of options besides goulash, schnitzel and sausages. The restaurant inside is nice but every table had tons of glasses and no salt&pepper. The service was good but the food was so so. I tried their meatballs and when heated next day it was swimming in oil. The potato salad was weird and watery. No mayo and it had cucumbers. The sauerkraut was very mushy and sweet. We are used to eating German foods and this does not taste like a German food. read more

We decided to check out this newer restaurant in downtown Pleasanton after a friend recommended it and other Yelp reviewers have overall given very positive reviews. We were hopeful to try something new with Austrian cuisine... but, we were left underwhelmed. On a Friday evening, we made advanced reservations, only to find that it was not needed given there was plenty of seating remaining on the patio as well as more than enough seating inside. We were quickly seated and offered to dying in the patio. The Ambiance is nice with the modern interior and quaint outdoor setup. We were instantaneously served with ice water and bread at the table. So far so good. Our waiter attended to us not long after and we placed our order for one classic pork weiner schnitzel and one chicken pot pie. Our food did not take long to come and they were all neatly plated. I definitely was not expecting to see that in fact an authentic wiener schnitzel is pressed meat that is breaded and deep fried. I find it quite amusing that my understanding of a Wienerschnitzel has been formed by the fast food hot dog chain. But in fact this would have been my first introduction to the very classic dish from Austria. This dish was served with a side of potatoes and squash in some sort of dill sauce. I definitely was not a fan of the sauce. So it remained mostly untouched. Now on to our other dish which was chicken pot pie. We were definitely intrigued what would chicken pot pie at an Austrian restaurant be like. It came with a ring of phyllo crust sitting atop the chicken pot pie filling that was quite sparse in ingredients. Maybe it's my ignorance, but it definitely was not what I was expecting giving my understanding has been shaped by my past experiences with the classic American Marie Callender's. So while the food was underwhelming and definitely overpriced averaging around $40 and entree, service was also subpar. Our waters were not filled without our efforts to grab the staff's attention; and even when they did come to fill up my glass, they did not fill up my husband's. More likely than not, we will not be returning as they are many other options in the downtown Pleasanton area. Oh well, you can't win them all. read more

We had a lunch here on a Friday, not busy, great outdoor seating area. The spaetzle was our favorite, nice combo with included corn and Brussel sprouts as well as chicken. We also had that sausage sampler plate, great tasting sausages & their house made sauerkraut & rotkohl was very good. read more

Naschmarkt - Spaetzel - Austrian Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Finally decided to try the place after hearing initially mediocre opening reviews a year ago. Very glad that we did! The food was excellent and enticingly different from the other Main Street offerings. Fun ambiance with plenty of outdoor seating, solid wine list, good beer selection. Interesting cocktail options. Solid service. Perhaps not the best value, but also not a disappointment. A do-over for sure! read more

First of its kind in tri valley naschmarkt is a great spot for getting some east European fix , in particular Austrian . Their sausages , pretzels , schnitzel all are so good . If you are looking for full hearty Austrian meal this is the place to be . The Garlic soup is interesting and the Hungarian goulash is yum. A nice and warm eatery for the whole fam . They have a full and a beautiful bar , live music on weekends mostly Fridays , love that for sure . Also , yes their happy hour between 2-5pm is quite cool with its steal deal offerings read more

We came here for our special day sitting outside on this warm evening. We started with drinks, and the Pretzel which did not disappoint. We couldn't resist Jager Schnitzel, and I chose the Braised Sauerkraut side. My Hubby chose Braised Red Cabbage side. When the food arrived I was momentarily transported to Europe. The mushrooms, and the cream sauce were delicious. The Pork was tender and thinly sliced under the sauce and mushroom goodness. We truly enjoyed our meals, and found it best to not devour everything, and take part of our delicious meals home. The service was great, and we got spoiled on our Anniversary date here. Thank You! read more

Came for lunch and had the pork and chicken sandwiches. Delicious and filling. The spring rolls were very different and a real treat.

I was so excited to finally come try this place out because I enjoy classic Austrian cuisine. I found the restaurant to be beautiful, perfect for a romantic dinner. I was greeted by a friendly bartender with glasses. I was told that I could have a seat where I liked so I sat down at a table near the wall. I sat there for what seemed like close to ten minutes, catching glances from several different people, but no one came to take my order until a very kind gentleman, I don't believe he was a server, noticed me being ignored by the one guy who was serving all the other tables around me and asked the bartender if he could place my order. That gentleman made me feel a lot better seeing as I didn't have an actual "server" so I was grateful to him. That being said, the food ended up coming out really fast which ended up surprising me. It was bland and lukewarm, but the ingredients all seemed fresh. The spätzle had great texture but needed salt. read more

Delicious Schnitzel. I like that Naschmarkt offers something unique to the area. Modern Austrian food in a stylish venue. I enjoyed my cocktail and the classic veal Schnitzel was perfect. Great flavor, crispy outside, tender and juicy. The pork belly could have been good and it maybe was great at one point, but they really dried out the bottom to the point were it was super stiff and stringy. The nice atmosphere was undermined by people playing loud sounds on their phones with no regard for others around them... Also the alternative rock mix they were playing inside went to weird places when Linkin Park joined the fray. I'll definitely be back for the Schnitzel. read more

Great food- Great Service- very nice Wine selection- Good Ambiance. Overall it should be tried atleast once. For sure you will be going again. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening. We made reservations for 6pm. We were a few minutes late but they seated us right away. The interior is cozy. We just ordered our entree and I went with the salmon with puréed potatoes, cherry potatoes with a lemon butter dill sauce. It was very light and flavorful. My friend had the pot pie and the crust looked so flaky and light. We then had tea and decaf latte. Service was attentive. The manager came around a couple of times to ask how everything was. I would return here again! read more

Incredible meal. Schnitzel and Spätzle were perfect. The Apple strudel was out of this world. OMG! Service was top notch. read more

Naschmarkt - Austrian Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Snice the opening, summer 2025, I have dined here four times. The first time was exceptional, the second time was good, the third time, it seemed the food had slipped a bit and the fourth time was just OK. I will venture to say that with any new restaurant, it take awhile to get into the groove and find the pace and build the culture and staff. I do enjoy the menu and the traditional German/ Austrian fare. The soups are beautifully presented and very tasty, the Weiner schnitzel and pork chop are a must try. the potatoes salad has been inconsistent. I have enjoyed the wines. The one thing that is consistent is the service. It's been very good. I will dine here again and keep it in my rotation of Main St. choices, I think they are just still getting into their groove. The space is lovely and has warm lighting. I do believe they have live music inside on Thursday nights. read more

Great to see another cuisine option in downtown Pleasanton. Took over the former Pairings spot. Nice ambiance. Service was friendly. Generous food portions. Authentic Eastern European cuisine. Bacon/Beer sauce for the homemade pretzel was flavorful, but a tad salty. The goulash and jager schnitzel were balanced and delicious. The meat in the goulash could have use a little more time to be a bit more consistently tender across the pieces. The mushroom sauce on the jager schnitzel was good to the last drop. Be sure to sop it all up with your spatzle. read more

We ordered via door dash. Pretzel was hard and stale. Scallops were missing from order. Sausages were very mediocre. Extremely expensive. No way in hell I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Avoid this place. The manager of Naschmarkt called me immediately and apologized for the bad experience. They offered an immediate and full refund and are sending a gift certificate encouraging us to give them another chance. My wife and I are undecided on whether we will try again but I commend the management for their concern, their refund, and their offer to try the food again. The manager did the right thing. I just hope his concern for our happiness makes its way to his kitchen. read more

This is such a needed restaurant in the tri-valley area. Every time I've gone to Naschmarkt the food has been excellent and the service attentive. Some of my favorites are the classic Wiener schnitzel, Jager Schnitzel, Kase Spatzle and you cannot skip on the Apfel Strudel or their drinks. The ambiance is also very nice, comfortable seating, not too loud, nice decor and never stuffy. read more

Love the atmosphere and the food. The manager and bartender are extremely helpful. Try it during the week with less patrons.

A huge disappointment! The pork schnitzel recommended by our waiter was over cooked, extremely dry, and virtually inedible. The menu is pricey, especially for what they're offering. I won't be returning. read more

Loved the dining room, very nice and comfortable. I actually felt overdressed, but was quickly put at ease by the bartender/waiter Danny. We had the schnitzel, chicken pot pie, spaetzel, and strudel. It was fabulous. The serving sizes are really big. I wish I took pictures. we will definitely be going back. read more

I had the chicken schnitzel , sandwich and my nephew had the regular schnitzel sandwich , both with tavern fries. We were the first ones in that afternoon for lunch, the server was prompt and courteous, and our food was very, very nice. read more

We were excited to see what the new owners of the former Pairings restaurant had in store for its patrons. They have done a wonderful job with the decor and much improved seating. It's comfortable and modern. The space is quite tight. It was noticeably challenging for wait staff to get around and serve. Removing one of the tables and spreading out the remainder in the row adjacent to the bar should help with this. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was good but not commiserate with the price charged. For what the food is, the price point will probably deter us from making this a favorite spot. For example, specialty cocktails were $18-$20! The most inexpensive entree was in the mid-30s. The sausage appetizer was $39-not worth it. read more

well now I guess I've been to all the locations (Palo Alto, Campbell and now Pleasanton) and the menu is the same, the service is great, and the food is good. It's more of a special treat or expense account meal though, even without any alcohol you can spend $50 pp, just on lunch. But it's a good experience and I'm sure I'll be back. Outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Made reservations here and were greeted right away by the friendly staff. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day. For our appetizer, we had the pretzel with beer-cheese sauce was tasty. The Hungarian goulash is a must when you come here. Please see my pictures. The portions were generous, so much so that we had no room for dessert. Will have to come back for the blueberry soufflé. Thank you for a delicious and friendly experience! read more

Had a beet salad with arugula. It was an arugula salad with some beet pieces and three mandarine orange slices. Arugula was piled high and was the main ingredient. Disappointing. Service was good. read more

Everything was excellent - food, hosts, atmosphere, the beer, the cocktails. I will come back.

I really enjoyed this place. I've been to the one in Palo Alto but I live in Pleasanton so this is closer. The service was outstanding. The waiter sometimes is the chef and his recommendations were on point. Full disclosure: my wife and her girlfriends go there after yoga for happy hour, so she's a regular and they know her. My kids were treating us to dinner and we loved it all. I recommend Naschmarkt "whole-stomach-ly"! Which is wholeheartedly but with my tummy! Yummy food, great service, drinks, just what one would want. read more

We stopped for weekday lunch. The place has a relaxed yet elevated vibe. Spaetzle starter was delicious, just like my grandma's actually better than (Sorry Oma!). We had the salmon and schnitzel sandwich both really good. Service was excellent. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

If you are looking for an authentic taste of Austria without boarding a plane, this Austrian delight is a must visit in Pleasanton!! The Hungarian beef goulash paired with the gooey Spatzle was amazingly rich and delish!! Eric & Danae our barkeepers were so attentive and so much fun!! Blood orange cosmo!! Ask for it!! A place where you can unwind, connect, or simply disappear into a good drink and not to mention the soft subtle voice of music playing by the band!! read more

After over 30 years, our local czech place (DJ's Bistro in Concord) closed, so we took a longish drive to Pleasanton (45 min each way) to Naschmarkt. We love good eastern European/German food and given the long drive, we tried a lot of things and took a bunch home. The sausage plate was great with three big sausages, mustard, fantastic potatoes with cucumber and dill, sauerkraut, and red cabage. It was worth the drive just for this sausage plate and pilsner. We did not love the sausage of the day (an English banner with a bit too much bread in it) and will substitute it next time. The arugula and beet salad was wonderful, with generous, perfectly roasted, beets and a well balanced dressing with a good feta. The jägerschnitzel (unbreaded schnitzel with rich mushroom gravy) was fantastic. I got the pork version (they also have veal) and asked for it with spaetzle and sauerkraut. The jägerschnitzel had lots of flavor and there was delicious gravy with plenty of mushrooms. We LOVE good spaetzle and this was among the very best - soft and flavorful, absorbing the gravy perfectly. They have a full bar with interesting cocktails along with great beers (including dark and pilsner) and wines including Rieslings (a few wonderfully dry). The apple strudel was good, with excellent ice cream (but my Hungarian grandma would not call it "strudel" - it was spiced apple in a puff pastry shell, which was good, but is not "strudel" which has many thin layers of puff pastry and spiced apple). The Fiaker=Double espresso with cherry brandy & whipped cream was perfect. We are looking forward to going back soon. read more

10/10 would recommend. We love the schnitzel and spatzle. We have ordered a lot of different dishes here and all of them are really good! Even have taken things to go and the food is still fresh and tasty! read more

Naschmarkt is our favorite place to dine in Pleasanton. The service is hands down the best. The German style food is exceptionally delicious. A must try if you haven't already! The inside dinning is beautiful and outside is always awesome. They have a great bar too. I highly recommend you try this place. I forgot to mention they make their own desserts!!The soufflé was the best I've ever had. read more

I don't post a lot of reviews, but this place deserves 5 stars. I took my husband here for a birthday lunch and wanted some place outside of Fremont. We wanted German/Austrian cuisine AND this place hit a home run. We had the pretzel for an appetizer. Came out HOT and fresh with an amazing light cheese sauce. My husband had the veal weiner schnitzel, ligonberry sauce and potato salad. He left nothing on his plate. I had the chicken paprikish with cheese herb spaetzel....so AMAZING. Of course we had to share apple strudel.....literally the best we have ever had. The service and atmosphere was outstanding accompanied with bluesy jazz music. This a must try. Parking is available behind the restaurant. read more

Bartenders have experience and are very friendly. They created an atmosphere that it's easy to drink in but still upscale. The prices are as expected in Pleasanton but the food and drinks are above and beyond. Great place to watch sports or take that someone special. read more
