    I have been meaning to go here for a few years now and we finally made it with some friends for an evening. The wine bar is located inside the Excelsior hotel and there is no visible sign on the door when you walk in. It also has an outdoor space for the warm days. To be honest the location of this hotel is not great so sitting outside is probably not an option I would choose. When you see the photos of this place it looks huge but in fact, it's relatively small with seating for about 30-40 people. The menu is limited with very limited vegetarian options but the kitchen was kind enough to prepare a vegetarian meal on request. You have a small selection of sharing plates and main courses. They also have a daily specials board. The wine list here is fabulous but prices are on the high side. I would give the wine list 5 stars as they have a good selection of European wines including many from the DACH region. The food is nice but nothing special. The cheese tray was great and so was the prosciutto San Daniele. My main course was a Forelle in bouillabaisse and it was nice but lacked the punch of a real good broth. The dessert of trio of Creme brûlée was also ok nothing special. Service was nice and friendly but lacked a bit of the warmth. It was efficient service but took a while to get orders done and to receive the food. I would come back here for a glass if Wine or two. In a town with slim pickings for Wine bars this is not a bad option. It's gorgeous inside and has a nice ambience.

    We started with crostini, and my wife then had he bouillabaisse and I had the veal cheeks, all washed down with a delicious bottle of Riesling.

We would definitely come back again and would highly recommend this place. Everything from the drinks, bread with special butters, soups, truffle pasta, chicken with a pastry top version of a chx pot pie and some other entrees were all terrific. The apple dessert did not disappoint either - yum ( need to order ahead to give it 25 mins or so ) First rate -don't miss this gem of a restaurant! . Thx you for a wonderful dinner! Enjoy

The soup was refreshing and I really enjoyed it. The bread was good as well. One of the spreads was obazda dip which I love. I thought they made it ok. We started with the veal ravioli. They were tender and tasted pretty good. I had the restaurant special which was basically a chicken pot pie. I thought it was good but I've had better. I thought the chicken was over cooked and the capers inside was a bit off putting to me because there were so many and made the whole dish too sour for me. It was a bit off putting. My friend had the fillet with white asparagus and potatoes and hollandaise sauce. It was basic but I preferred her dish. The dessert had strawberry and tarragon I believe. It was well balanced, not too sweet, and I liked the herbs with the dessert. They also had a nice drink menu and a good variety of wines. They did not let us try the wine before pouring it which I expected since this is a nice place. Overall thought the service was decent but not great.

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!

    Came here because it was on the Michelin guide and had no one to go to Tohru with, so decided to do…read moreSchreiberei instead and it was amazing! They said they were just starting a tasting menu so I wanted to try it out for €75, with €14 per each glass of the paired white wine. The tasting menu was only in German though FYI if you can't read German. All the dishes were full of flavour! First course: oyster was delicious with the seasoning on top. Second course: vegetables and I think there was fish. I can't remember from the wine I had. But it was tasty with the sauce provided. Third course: main course and everything was so good! The garnished potatoes helped make the main course not too heavy with flavour. I liked the seafood paired with the sauce, as well as the breading that came with it. Even the bunch of lettuce was good which was nice. Final course: some pie with sorbet on top with yuzu-citrus flavour which was a refreshing way to end the meal. Overall, I would say it was worth the price point and got me full. The wine pairing was amazing as well and was definitely strong. Interior is nice and elegant and my waitress was perfect, accommodating for English since I am not confident speaking in German. Those who serve you the food though do describe the dishes in German FYI. The tasting menu is a new concept too, so I believe they'll change it up every so often and it's worth a try if you're in the Marienplatz area!
