Altmünchner Gesellenhaus in München

A nice place to eat and drink. Doesn't look like it from the outside.

The food was delicious; we had pork knuckles, cheese spaetzle, and coleslaw. Large portions and friendly service. Excellent value for money 👍

Visited on 15 June 2025, receipt attached. Disappointed with food, not worth a 4.7 - Got seafood and pork roast - Pork sauce was very salty

Simply fantastic, everything was top-notch! Munich's number one restaurant destination! Thank you for the lovely evening with you!

July 29, 2025, 7 p.m.: The food was delicious and fairly priced. Unfortunately, the waitress didn't seem to be paying attention to his guests. He took the food and drinks and brought them back. There was no friendliness at all, so I didn't tip and explained it to him. No response.

Delicious food, friendly service, a lovely atmosphere, and an authentic ambiance—what more could you want? We'd happily return. Highly recommended! Fresh Kaiserschmarrn for dessert is also included, of course.

Stopped by for dinner because it was close to our hotel and the food was delicious. We had the jagerschnitzel, roast pork, and goulash. The jagerschnitzel and spatzle was so good. The roast pork had a very crispy skin. The cole slaw had a hint of horseradish and was good. We ate everything. Very happy we stopped by.

Loved our dinner here. The Jägerschnitzel with the mushroom cream sauce was excellent. Just know that it isn’t breaded. The Schweineschnitzel was delicious as well. Perfectly breaded and fried. The spaetzle is amazing! Wish we had time to visit again before we leave.

Was very delicious. Best jagerschnitzel I have ever had! The mushroom sauce was delicious and the spaetzel was amazing. Can never have this dish back in USA again. Would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for so many guests smoking. Note: eat inside if it bothers you too. It is what it is. Many Germans (or Austrian) here do goes to show the locals know where to eat.

Very good food with great portions for the price. Very friendly service.

Very good Bavarian food and very good service

I can recommend it, the food and beer 🍻 is great 👏

It was delicious and cozy. The spaetzle were very, very tasty. Highly recommended! We went there twice in three days.

Really good and very affordable food. Nice environment and very friendly staff!

A quaint restaurant in a very central area of ​​Munich. Spacious and relatively quiet. The traditional dishes are very good and plentiful, including several Bavarian specialties. Service is fast and friendly. The prices are absolutely affordable.

Very tasty and atmospheric. We accidentally dropped in for lunch, came back for dinner. We liked everything very much 🤍

Soo good and cozy. The interior garden is perfect for a summer dinner. We thought the place was empty but turns out everyone was there, some people dining and others just having a drink and playing cards. Great menu with options for everyone in my opinion

The menu is well packed with modern and traditional food. Serving times are fast and the food is what you expect. Service is friendly, answers are short and precise. The cheese "spätzle" with fried onions was especially good! The outdoor "garden" is situated between buildings and could use some green.

Very good food and friendly service. And I would know since my family ran a Gasthaus like this for generations.

It was all locals when we went in they seemed to be understaffed but the server was apologetic about it. The food was AMAZING. Strongly suggest

Good food and drinks, friendly waiter, chill It's also legit Bavarian for a good price Useful info -Kitchen closes at 10pm

I went in because I wanted to eat Schweinebraten (15.50€). I went in around 17:30 and there were no other customers there. I ordered a wheat beer (small size), which was brought to me shortly after I ordered it. It was a very cold beer and was delicious. The meat was very tender and the skin was grilled to a crisp. The portion was quite large. It was quite greasy, so I was grateful that it came with a salad. The speed of service, the quality of the food, and the price were all excellent.

Highly recommended: Schnitzel Wednesday! Otherwise... Cozy, cozy, good value!

Restaurant with a variety of Bavarian dishes. We ordered a soup beforehand, which unfortunately didn't arrive warm. The main course, however, was warm and delicious.

Customers from Singapore. 🇸🇬 We had Schwammerl (pasta) and Jagerschnitzel (fried pork) for dinner. The staff recommended Jagerschnitzel, and it did not disappoint; it was wonderful! We had no shortage of beer options. The staff recommended Spaten Hell and their special beer Kellerbier. Spaten Hell is light and refreshing, whereas Kellerbier is slightly bitter, which appealed to me. The service is satisfactory, and the staff is patient. Food is provided quickly, and the ambiance is family-like.

A classic Bavarian restaurant. The evening we were there, it wasn't that busy. We had soup and a main course. Unfortunately, the soup was a bit cold for my taste. The main course (Cordon Bleu), however, was very tasty.

I keep trying the local cuisine and I love it!!! Everything is delicious 🤩

It was so quiet that I wondered if it would be open if I went there late at night. When I went inside, there were quite a few customers, so I guess it's hard to hear noise. As the name suggests, it has an old-fashioned atmosphere (I don't know what it was like back then, but that's the image I got). The restaurant is quite spacious, and the tables are also quite wide, so you can relax and enjoy yourself. The amount of food is a bit too much for Japanese people, but it wasn't so much that you couldn't finish it all, and the price was reasonable, but it was still delicious. If I had room in my stomach, I would have liked to try other dishes.

If you're looking for a taste of traditional Munich that feels truly local, then Altmünchner Gesellenhaus is a place you might want to check out. The ambiance here is fantastic – it's got that local Bavarian feel without being swamped by tourists, which is a big plus. It's usually not too busy, so you can really soak in the atmosphere. We tried their schnitzel, and it was... well, average. Perfectly edible, but just ok. And just a heads-up, the beer here can be a bit pricier than what you might find in some of the bigger, more boisterous beer halls. So, if you're after a more local Bavarian dining experience and aren't solely focused on the food being spectacular, Altmünchner Gesellenhaus offers a lovely, uncrowded escape!

Very delicious. We ordered chicken with mushrooms and pasta. The meal of the day. And everything was great!

I wanted to eat schnitzel and potato salad. I was staying at a hotel in front of the central station, so I didn't want to go far. After searching around... I heard that prices in Germany have gone up a lot, but this is so unbelievable ;;;; After searching, I visited this place. It was in an alley, so the area was a bit damp(?), but when I went in, it was spacious and clean, and especially, it wasn't crowded, so I could eat leisurely, which I really liked. Schnitzel: It was crispy and had a taste of freshly fried food. It was delicious. It tasted just like I thought. Potato salad: It wasn't as sour as I thought... but you can tell that it's a potato salad. It would have been nice if there were cucumbers in the middle to add a crunchy texture. Beer: I don't drink beer often and I don't know much about it. Since I don't drink alcohol well, I ordered a small amount of schnitt. It was just refreshing. After eating everything, I was a little full, and I felt a little regretful that I wish I had eaten more. If you want to eat schnitzel, don't go to expensive places that you don't know if they're tourist attractions or restaurants, but come here~

The food was good. If you wanted something to drink or to pay, you had to look for the waiter.

A very nice restaurant. Good food at a reasonable price for Munich. The staff and service are very friendly. The restaurant invites you to linger. A 100% recommendation.

The food is above average. I've had worse, but I've also had better. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 15 minutes to order, even though the place wasn't even half full... We really liked the atmosphere. The restrooms were clean, but the sink takes some getting used to. You end up splashing water on yourself more than washing your hands.

Classic German place. Quiet until lunchtime. A bit off the beaten track. I had the seasonal asparagus and the schnitzel which is usually excellent in Munich. I was not wrong.

Roast pork was really tasty, but the waiter was a bit... okay, not nice at all. I know large group of foreigners can be a bit "unexpected customers", I don't care. But hey, we'll drink some more......

Very friendly and courteous staff, the asparagus and wild garlic soup was a poem

Had dinner there again after work. As always, very good, especially the cheese sparrows. You usually always get a spot spontaneously. The waitresses are always very friendly. We'd love to come by again.

Ein wirklich schönes altes Wirtshaus, sehr schön eingerichtet, Tische sind einladend gedeckt. Es gibt eine tolle gemütliche Innenhofterasse. Wir haben Gulasch und Schnitzel gegessen, hervorragend zubereitet und sehr schmackhaft zu soliden Preisen. Sehr nette Bedienung.

Stopped in on the way back to our hotel. After a fairly intense set of bierkellers in the centre this provided a pleasant and appreciated hour of calm. It probably gets a lot of tourists given it's location but doesn't appear to pander to this trade and when we were here there seemed to be quite a few locals playing cards. The Spaten Hells was very good and the missus enjoyed her pinot noir. Will put this on my list of decent stop offs for next Munich visit.

The place is perfect. The service is prompt and efficient. The staff is polite. The dishes are tasty and the environment is relaxing.

Repeating other reviewers, they served us very good Bavarian dishes with fast service in an authentic atmosphere. A few blocks away from the tourist trap places, it was not overly busy. I had the Goulash, Zander fish and Chicken. All quite good and filling.

Very good option if you want to try things from the region, everything was delicious.

Had dinner here on 19 April 2025 and it was great. Food and service were on point. Highly recommend. We went early in the evening but if planning for a later dinner, recommend reservations.

Very nice restaurant, discreetly furnished, has a great atmosphere. Delicious food and nice service. Highly recommended.

I ate here the freshest and tastiest Bavarian asparagus this season. I also ordered pork schnitzel, which was incredibly good. I will come back here because on the tables around me I saw other dishes that tempted me. The service was excellent. The whole experience in this place made me happy!

Good food and relatively cheap prices for Munich.

The food is incredibly delicious! Bavarian cuisine. We took goulash and Munich schnitzel, German wine and beer from Munich. Everything is great! Very atmospheric! I recommend it to everyone!

Authentic and delicious local Bavarian food! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, even with the place being quite busy. It’s a great spot for group gatherings — cozy, welcoming, and with a traditional atmosphere. What stood out was the relaxed vibe and the fact that it wasn’t overrun with tourists. Definitely a hidden gem in Munich worth checking out!

We were very satisfied! We decided to eat there spontaneously after arriving! We even got a meal for the lunch price shortly after lunch! The service was very friendly!

Anyone stating that they had a bad experience, must’ve done something wrong. The place is busy, great atmosphere and good food.

Classic Bavarian food and atmosphere. Very friendly and quick service. The restaurant is huge inside, so plenty of seating. However it is very busy, which I can see why, the food & beer was sensational. Can't beat the schnitzel and strudel were magnificent.

Excellent meal with speedy service and very generous portions. Some appetizers are basically full meals! The schnitzel was hot, crispy and at a perfect thickness

Schäufele und Münchner Schnitzel sehr gut. Das Tellerfleisch hatte die Konsistenz eines Ledergürtels, fast ungenießbar.

beautiful place and the server are really open to not do what they should do, also the food is really good for turtles and pigs ask your motha for a new place

really poor food and minimal portions

Large restaurant, authentic atmosphere. Huge and delicious starters and main dishes. Excellent service.

A very nice restaurant, good atmosphere. The food was good. I can recommend it with a clear conscience!

Great traditional food and made us revisit every day for lunch. They have specials every day for a very good price. Food is incredibly tasty and the personnel is attentive and polite. Beer is good as well!

Quite okay with a good price-performance ratio. The food was delicious but you have to get used to an unbreaded Jägerschnitzel. The waiter was attentive and quick.

I enjoyed my pretzel and steak 😋

We were completely impressed by this restaurant. Traditional German cuisine was perfectly implemented here - every dish was delicious, fresh and prepared with great attention to detail. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the service friendly and attentive. You immediately feel at home and notice that quality and hospitality are very important here. An absolute must for anyone who appreciates German cuisine – we will definitely be back! 5 out of 5 stars!

The mouse from the review from three days ago is still fine and scratches his belly with satisfaction (He didn't pay 90 euros, unlike us)

Somehow something went wrong. I reserved a table for December 31st. However, when we got there, the restaurant was unfortunately closed. Shortly before that, however, I received a reminder to make a reservation. Well, I was able to take a look at it from outside . Maybe it will work the next time you visit Munich.

We ran away before sitting down because there was a mouse!!!

Super nice restaurant, nice and attentive service, fast service. An absolute insider tip.

Great ambience, nice and fast service and the food was really great! I can only recommend it!

This is the place to go for a schnitzel!!!! And on Wednesdays 11-3pm every schnitzel is 9.90€ ⭐️ great value for money and definitely worth the visit

Excellent food. We had the Jagerschnitzel. Perfect portion size. The side of spätzle was crispy and delicious! Wonderful service, even when having a party of about 40 people in a side room.

Beer is good, food is good, service was OK. I just think as an experience it just wasn't 4 star. Although the food was 4 star.

The journeyman's house is a bit hidden and is overlooked by normal walk-in customers. The ambience is Bavarian and somewhat cool. The menu has a large selection and the taste was very good. Portions are large. But there are also senior portions. The service is quick and friendly. An insider tip for me.

I give one star because I can't give less, the food is practically inedible and I won't add anything else about it, then inside the restaurant I'll just tell you that there are rats walking under the tables, I strongly advise against eating here. DISGUSTING

Lovely food, nice atmosphere. I recommend.

Ambiente acogedor y agradable. Grandes áreas con mucho espacio. Buena comida a un precio justo, buena selección de alimentos y bebidas

Damn good pick! In the doldrums of Munich's tourist restaurants, hell in terms of taste and price, there is a little hidden... it's here! Dish of the day and extensive menu. Friendly staff even if they only speak German. Local food prepared. Haven't found a better plan in Munich! Especially since for dessert there is always the possibility of picking up a Sunday for 1.99 at Burger King just a stone's throw away...

I arrived a little scared from another place, from which I left very disenchanted with the unfriendly staff, and being greeted with a smile as soon as you enter was a very positive point. I went to dinner alone and tried the beef soup and Nuremberg sausages, all delicious! The place is very well maintained and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The price seemed appropriate given the size of the dishes and the drink in line with the rest of the restaurants in the area. I would repeat and recommend it without a doubt.

Good and plentiful food, fast service, clean place

Food took 40 minutes to arrive on a midday on a weekday, taste was ok, so was the price, but quantities were petite...

Very good service and delicious food! Keep it up! I'd love to come back!

Bavarian inn with Bavarian national food and drinks. Lunch menu (e.g. Wednesday schnitzel with fries €9.90. Light beer €4.5)

Good German food at fairly modest prices. Pleasant and quiet environment. Unlikely "Italian" dishes but obviously excellent beers

This traditional restaurant is centrally located on the Stachus, but somewhat hidden in a side street, behind the former Kaufhof. A little inconspicuous from the outside, behind the entrance there is a large bar with an adjoining room and a beer garden in the back yard. The decor is traditional but very subtle, without the usual knick-knacks on window sills or on the wall. You feel comfortable here from the first moment. There is an extensive food and drink menu on which everyone will find something to suit their needs. Our Cordon Bleu and the Bergsteiger Schnitzel tasted very good. The portion was also generous. In terms of price, this restaurant stands out from the surrounding locations. The price/performance ratio is right here. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We'll definitely come back.

Good food fast and friendly staff. Gladly again

Delicious Bavarian staples and cold beer. Love the decor and tavern vibe, this is a must visit in Munich.

Eine sehr leckere authentische Küche. Alle Bedienungen waren sehr freundlich! Jederzeit wieder, Preis-Leistung passt prima.

I asked very explicitly if the water was free before I ordered it and they said yes. Once I ordered, they charged me four dollars for a cup of water.

Best food so far in Germany on our trip

We've tried several German cuisine restaurants and this for us ranked the best. My partner loved the steak with dried onions Nothing that blew my palate but I like my vegetarian dish - creamy mushroom with bread dumpling. It's like Campbell soup with matza balls. The pretzel wants great. Maybe because it was the end of the day and it's been sitting there the whole day. The apple strudel was just ok. We had a better one at a different restaurant.

Second time of eating here. Relaxed unfussy Bavarian fare with mostly locals, which can't be a bad sign.

Super nice, courteous staff. Very attentive and yet not intrusive. The food is freshly prepared when ordered and all dishes were very, very tasty.

Passable food. Not stellar but good and came quick. The server smiled....how odd. We found out he was not local....we applauded his daring in breaking protocol. Very good coffee. We would come back.

Everything was very bad, the service couldn't speak German, the food was very poor except for the dessert. In my student menu, the main course had black pieces that you couldn't eat and the sauce was slimy

Although it is not obvious from the outside, the inside is very spacious and beautiful. The garden is also quite large. Both beers and food were good. I think his score should have been higher.

It was supposed to be a nice evening, unfortunately it was a disaster, the soup was simply tasteless, had to be seasoned several times, and the ox shreds were completely over salted. To top it off, a mouse (or several) strolled back and forth between the guest towns and the beer garden. The waiter apparently already knew this, but it didn't bother him. According to the statement, there were already several mouse traps in them but no mouse. goes in. Rabat, or a little schnapps, on the house? None? There was nothing cozy about the beer garden either.

Delicious goulash soup and excellent beer, excellent service

Beautiful place! Cross it by luck but I love it, an amazing interior and felt in a real local place.

Excellent dishes. Punctual and quick service. To return. Adequate price.

Traditional dishes, well prepared and well served at a fair or even great price, considering that you will hardly find anything cheaper and with the same quality. The service was good, but I was only with my family on days when there was little movement. Regarding the space, I believe there is a problem with the ventilation of the space, as much of the cigarette odor from the open area and the street seems to invade the interior of the restaurant, making it a bit inconvenient for non-smokers. Furthermore, it is a great German food restaurant, located close to Karlsplatz (Stachus) station, but hidden from the urban chaos. Worth the visit.

Good home cooking and a special ambience

I was the only one, at 6pm. Construction in the area might be hurting them. Food was food, seemed old, just reheated, cooked days ago. Who knows if you will get good food and proper meal, or it will be a Ghost of its old glory.
