This the best Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian dishes restaurant in Munich. Their pork knuckle is a must try, also very good is their duck confit, apple strudel and creme brulee. It's so sad this place is closing down by end of 2025, and felt very lucky to have enjoyed a meal here together with my wife & son.

We had a truly delightful experience at this German restaurant in the heart of Munich. Every plate was served piping hot, which immediately set the tone for the quality and care behind each dish. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful, perfectly complemented by a waiter whose sense of humor made the evening even more enjoyable. The food exceeded all our expectations — each dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly flavorful. The mushroom sauce, served with both of our main courses, was undoubtedly the star of the meal: rich, savory, and the perfect pairing with the tender pork. To finish, the dessert was an unexpected delight, rounding off an already memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic German cuisine with a lively and welcoming vibe!
