4.5 / 5.0(5,524 reviews)

This was the best restaurant we visited during our time in Munich! Mario was an excellent waiter who helped us with making our food and drinks selection. He even let me try the wine before I ordered a full glass. Paulaner beer was great too here. The food is very well made, and it has a great combination of flavors and textures. I enjoyed the cabbage with sweet apple topping. The duck was phenomenal, and the Knodls are excellent. I also had their house red wine, which was amazing. The place is outside of downtown area, it has a great vibe inside, and it is well decorated. It is a very quiet area and you can get there by train and walking. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. This place is a great spot to enjoy some local German food. It can get very busy, mainly due to the excellent quality of both the food and the service, so we highly recommend making a reservation in advance. We were fortunate enough to get a table for two without a reservation. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, from the waiter who found us a table to the server who took our order and brought our food. The plates were nicely presented, and the food was truly full of flavor. The meat, in particular, was very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended! Loved the ambiance of this authentic German restaurant. It was cozy, and the food was delicious, and a good selection of German foods. This was recommended by a friend who is from Germany...so I expected it would be good. Was not disappointed at all. The service was also top notch!!

Christoph did a great job as the bartender, recommending drinks and dishes. The prices are quite reasonable for the quantity. Roast pork and duck was a solid dish. Dessert was too sweet for my taste but otherwise everything tasted great.

Excellent dinner with family and friends. Welcoming friendly and helpful staff. Seated immediately (group of 7, with a reservation). Outdoor beer garden, indoors booth seating. Surroundings are a residential area with little traffic and low noise. Great food options and drinks list. Orders taken with good recommendations and explanations. Served quickly, nicely plated. Delicious and tasty local Bavarian cuisine. Highly recommended! If you like dumplings (Knödel) and their variety, this place is a must on your bucket list 😋😋😋
