Colette in München

Everything was perfect: food, service, atmosphere 🙏

Questions regarding food intolerances were ignored and met with extremely rudeness. Furthermore, another guest in our group (without any known food intolerances) vomited the following night.

The food was like a little journey through Central Europe: French, German, and Polish. Absolutely fantastic!

Best bouillabaisse outside of France!!!! What a fantastic evening. Wow! Wow! Double wow!! Food, service, ambiance – nothing left to be desired.

A very nice, cozy restaurant. Despite the higher prices, it's relaxed and you immediately feel at ease. The service is very friendly, not intrusive but attentive. The food was absolutely fantastic; we had the Beef Wellington set menu and were completely satisfied. The drinks are also very tasty. I highly recommend it!

Great food! I would highly recommend trying something from the set menu - I got the Wagyu and the Tarte from it and absolutely loved them both! Beautiful flavours! The beef bourguignon was a bit on the salty side. Banana (dessert) was slightly too sweet, go for it if you love bananas though. The highlight was the Tarte. Would love to try the full 4 or 5 course menu the next time. Seating is slightly uncomfortable- we sat in the 2 person corner booth. Our backs were hurting by the end of the meal.

A very nice evening with good food and excellent service.

A lovely, modern restaurant. We were there for the New Year's Eve menu. The welcome was pleasant but not particularly warm. The service was generally very dependent on the individual waiter and sometimes lacked in-depth expertise. The food was technically very well prepared; not every course was a complete success, but overall it was very good. It was a shame that the menu ended before midnight, forcing us to head home or find another venue just before the stroke of midnight. The photo booth was definitely a great idea, providing entertainment and creating wonderful memories.

The food was of very high quality, the service was attentive, and all our wishes were perfectly fulfilled. The vegetarian portion was a bit small, but absolutely delicious.

The food was more than basic for €135 per person. The sauces often contained mayonnaise. The expensive ingredients of the courses were only present in small amounts. There was a lot of heavy, filling ingredients like choux pastry or deep-fried vegetables/meat. The dessert was simply put together. The wine was good, but also average for almost €200. The food wasn't anything special. You can find significantly higher quality dishes in Munich for the same price. The service, however, was excellent.

A delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere! We opted for the Wellington menu with wine pairing. It was a wonderful evening with dear friends, delicious food, and the service team was very professional, incredibly attentive, and exceptionally friendly. Our only suggestions were a little more vegetables with the beef fillet and some tablecloths. But otherwise, it was perfect, and we will definitely return on our next visit to Munich.

We were very excited, as we came from Switzerland and really wanted to visit La Colette. We received a very charming welcome. The ambiance was truly wonderful. The service during the meal was very attentive until we paid. Then, apparently, we were no longer important. No farewell, no jar of pickles, even though everyone at the surrounding tables received one when they left! The bouillabaisse was excellent. The beef fillet wasn't what I would call a tender piece of meat. It was perfectly cooked, but I had to chew it for a very long time, which is different from what I'm used to, especially for €51! The boeuf bourguignon was very well cooked, but the salt content was borderline excessive! We couldn't finish it because it was so incredibly salty. ;-( I've been in the restaurant business for over 38 years and I greatly appreciate places like La Colette. Unfortunately, the value for money wasn't there today. A shame. ;-(

It was a very high-quality meal; we traveled all the way from Saarland to experience the restaurant. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you so much for this wonderful evening.

We went there for dinner as a couple. For starters, we both ordered the Prawn Marocain, which turned out to be three prawns in a thin pastry crust with a kind of pistachio crumble. It had a very mild and pleasant spiciness. The flavor was superb. For our main courses, I had the oyster platter and my colleague had the Boeuf Bourguignon. Both were fantastic. You'd think that the portions would be small at this price point, but that's not the case. I certainly couldn't have finished the four-course menu (we saw the next table ordering it). Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back.

A truly wonderful experience. Excellent service and really good food.

We wanted to end our 2 week trip in Europe with a nice dinner and found Colette on the Michelin Guide. We were the first table to arrive on a Monday night but by the time we left every table was full. We chose to order A’ La Carte instead of the La Selection menu. We stared with the lettuce heart and onion soup. The grilled pineapple on the salad was delectable. My husband really enjoyed the onion soup and said the cheese made the dish. For entrees I got the Boeuf Bourguignon and my husband got the Fillet. Both were out of this world excellent! The fillet was huge, cooked as ordered, and was very tender. The Boeuf Bourguignon was so tender and I loved the richness of the sauce. Instead of dessert we ordered another glass of wine. Overall this was a wonderful experience and a beautiful meal. We enjoyed stepping out of the tourist parts of the city and enjoying a restaurant that was truely local.

It was a wonderful evening without any complaints. We felt very comfortable, enjoying excellent food and service.

A wonderful evening! The brasserie combines a tasteful industrial style with French chic and a truly welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and immediately offered the house amuse-bouche: sourdough bread with delicious butter and pickles. The menu is concise yet offers wonderful and creative highlights. To start, we opted for the gratinated oysters with fennel butter (delicious!), as well as the Moroccan-style prawns and onion soup. These dishes had exactly the creative flair one would expect from Mr. Raue: a subtle spiciness, crispy, and cooked to perfection. Simply wonderful. The onion soup was equally impressive; while not classically prepared (including duck), it was a fantastic taste and aroma experience—excellent and a perfect start to the evening. After a lemon sorbet, the highlight of the evening arrived: the Beef Wellington with truffles and a delicate jus, all encased in a pastry shell filled with other delicacies. Truly one of the best I've ever eaten. Subtle hints of truffle, cooked to perfection, top-quality beef, a delicate mustard note, and a wonderful sauce. In short: It's certainly not an inexpensive experience, but for me, it's finally a high-end restaurant in the sub-Michelin-star category that completely wins you over with its excellent cuisine, service, and ambiance, and is truly worth the price (especially considering its high standards). I'll definitely be back!

I'm a little hesitant to give it 4 stars; 4.5 would be better, but I'd give it 5 if I were 100% satisfied. First, the positives: the service was impeccable, a good mix of very polite yet approachable, with the occasional little joke, a couple of sentences here and there, very attentive, so we felt very comfortable. The ambiance is also very nice; the tables aren't too close together, and the noise level isn't too high. I do have a small criticism regarding the food. To begin with, the food is good and solid, but I had imagined it would be more refined and a bit more sophisticated. I expected more from the name Tim Raue. I had the Moroccan prawn followed by the octopus, while my companion had the lettuce and then the pike-perch. Again, it was good, but it lacked a little seasoning. However, I really loved the bread with the truly delicious cucumbers—a nice change of pace.

Always an experience! Absolute recommendation!!

Incredibly delicious and complex, yet down-to-earth. Great service!

Delicious, as always! Thank you also for the great service.

As expected, a wonderful and successful evening with Tim Raue in top form!

There were four of us, and we felt very comfortable. The service was attentive and friendly. The menu was relatively small, but there was something for everyone. The wine list was extensive, although in my opinion, German wineries were somewhat underrepresented in the white wine selection, even though the cuisine is French-oriented.

Ice-cold food of the highest quality. Creative dishes, harmoniously seasoned. Kudos to the kitchen; the vegan menu is absolutely on par with the regular one. Unobtrusive yet attentive service, with clear explanations of the dishes and helpful advice on drink selections. Despite the high quality, the atmosphere remains relaxed.

The food fully met our expectations, we'd gladly return! Our only complaint was the service, which we found a bit too cold and distant. A little more warmth would have been appreciated.

Lovely restaurant by the looks. However, a dreadful experience. The artichoke was hard, and raw. The soup was excessively salty and nothing close to a French onion soup. The service was sloppy: if you want to clutter the table with stuff, be my guest but then don’t push the dishes on the table to make room for them. The waiter was disappointing, over the course of the meal as he noticed my lack of excitement and of ordering expensive food, treated us colder and colder, peaking with the end that did not even bother to give us our coats that he so pompously collected upon entering the restaurant, and just shouted goodbye when we were at the door. A disappointing 160€ meal you did not deserve to earn from me.

A culinary highlight with heart and soul! We wanted to celebrate a special occasion with an exquisite meal in a stylish atmosphere. And we truly succeeded at Brasserie Colette TIM RAUE! From the very first moment, the service was incredibly warm, attentive, courteous, and professional. We opted for a five-course menu with wine pairings. The food was outstanding, impressing with its quality and sophistication. Each course was described in detail, and the perfectly matched wines were served with great expertise. The brasserie is on the pricier side, but the value for money is absolutely excellent. Here, you're not just paying for the food, but for a truly wonderful experience! Highly recommended.

Excellent value for money Lovely ambiance Wonderful, everything was fantastic. Delightful service Superb food with attention to detail, a perfectly coordinated menu…WARNING: the portions are really large Great wine pairings Very appealing ambiance in terms of decor and background music Interesting clientele Would gladly return …if you're looking for something to criticize, it's perhaps the lack of (cloth) towels and hand cream in the restroom.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and the food is excellent. The service lacks expertise at times – for example, they weren't entirely sure how to eat or serve certain dishes.

Have been coming for years and this place always delivers with remarkable consistency. Great combination of craftsmanship and innovation - Brasserie comfort food but with excellent execution and always with a twist to make it special.

Food is excellent . Service is perfect . Very good wine list . The chef revisited or reinvented traditional French recipes like Soupe à l’oignon or Boeuf Bourguignon : so don’t be surprised as it will be different to the original recipes .

Lovely French restaurant in Munich The shrimps à la maroccaine were delicious Warm service

We loved it and enjoyed it!! We'll be back 👍

A stylish restaurant with great service and a cozy atmosphere. The lighting is dimmed, the volume is pleasantly low, and you can have a quiet conversation, just as you would want for a special evening. The service was outstanding: attentive, warm, with good recommendations and detailed explanations of the dishes. A truly huge compliment at this point. The dishes were very well-crafted, but the overall composition of the evening seemed a bit too sweet for me. Both the onion soup and the beef bourguignon, and according to my wife, the pike-perch as well, had a distinctly sweet note. This is certainly a matter of style, but it didn't quite suit my personal taste. With a name like "Tim Raue," which automatically raises high expectations, I would have preferred a bit more balance and depth in terms of flavor. We were very pleased that they even provided free drinks for my wife's birthday – a generous and heartfelt gesture. It would have been even nicer if they had asked in advance whether they could perhaps round off the occasion with a little something at the table. It's a fine touch, but especially at this price point, something like that makes a big difference. The only real criticism outside of the kitchen: The restrooms don't match the overall high-quality impression and could be modernized. Overall, we had a lovely evening with very good service, a great ambiance, and good food, although the taste didn't quite reach the level I expected. A solid 4 stars, and yes, we would come back.

The food was solid. What I've never experienced before is the waiter visibly pouring bottles of wine together behind the bar. I actually saw it happen twice – so it seems to be pretty common practice... 20 minutes before the official closing time, you're asked how you'd like to pay. No introduction, no friendly reminder, no last round, nothing.

Wonderful restaurant. I can recommend it to everyone. For two people, the price is around €200, including tips.

A casual, unpretentious restaurant for couples, families, and groups of friends for a cozy, enjoyable evening. Fantastic dishes designed by Tim Raue. The Filet Wellington and Bouillabaisse are highly recommended. The service is exceptionally good – there were eight of us (ages 4 to 86!), and everyone was served attentively. Warning: this isn't a bargain! But it's better to forgo mediocrity and run-of-the-mill food three times and instead enjoy the Brasserie Colette.

Very good food and service. And the best part was the atmosphere. This is such a wonderful and elegant place, with lots of attention to detail. The octopus was delicious and so were the cocktails. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Excellent menu, attentive service, very pleasant ambience

We visited the brasserie about two weeks ago. The food was very good, but there were few to no alternatives for non-alcoholic drinks. For a restaurant of this standard, I would have liked to see one or two non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu. All in all, though, it was a pleasant experience.

Brasserie Tim Raue combines precise, down-to-earth cuisine with a relaxed, lively atmosphere. The service is attentive, knowledgeable, and yet pleasantly unpretentious. The wine list features surprising discoveries such as the Clos Marie Pic Saint Loup "L'Olivette" 2022 – full of character, fresh, and a perfect accompaniment to a meal. A place where cuisine, wine, and hospitality are at their best.

The restaurant is top-notch. The food is excellent, and the staff are friendly and easygoing. What more could you want?

We ate rinderfiler and it was exception just like the creme brulee and tarte auxframboises

As always, a very enjoyable evening with an excellent Oktoberfest menu. We look forward to our next visit.

One of my favorite places for something special.

We visited Brasserie Colette for the third time yesterday, and it was fantastic again. The food is top-notch, as is the service. I'd like to emphasize that we chose the wine pairing for our menu and were able to taste all four wines beforehand (a "sip of wine"). We really appreciated this service. We also like the professional yet relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant.

Once again excellent food, good wine and attentive service.

Great ambiance, wonderful service. A complete success. Highly recommended.

A top-class restaurant with diverse, interesting menus. The wine pairing was adjusted independently after a requested menu change. Excellent service. And on-site parking, fantastic!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A piece of France in the heart of Munich! Colette impresses with fine French cuisine, exquisite wines, and an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The dishes are refined, high-quality, and full of flavor – a delight for all the senses. Particularly noteworthy is the attentive, charming service, which perfectly rounds off the evening. A wonderful restaurant for special occasions or simply to treat yourself. Très magnifique!

I ordered the gastronomic menu for €115 plus oysters. Everything was very good, but the prawns were spectacular. The oysters were very small. The service was decent, but at that price, I wish there were more waiters so I wouldn't have to wait three minutes to order something. At a different price, it would be normal to wait even longer...

With a great starter the evening got rolling - was simply to expensive compared to what we got - couple of 4 - we all agreed

The food and service were truly top-notch. Excellent wine recommendations.

A beautiful and perfect evening, as always everything was perfect

As always, top-notch. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere – the dishes are top-notch ;-)

From the service to the atmosphere to the food, everything was top-notch! Seasoned to a simmering, crunchy consistency! But the flavors were perfectly balanced. Fun and enjoyable in every bite! And you don't have to worry about not getting your fill.

We had a wonderful evening. The food was incredibly good and truly something special. What contributed significantly to the great evening was our waiter, who was incredibly kind, accommodating, and funny.

A sensational evening, everything was perfect from A to Z, the food was incredibly good.

We were there in July. The service was very friendly and the wine pairing was excellent. The food was perfectly balanced in terms of acidity and sweetness. The value for money was definitely good. We'd be happy to come back.

Always a great place to eat. The vegan menu is highly recommended!

A delicious culinary journey. Thank you for the good service. 🥂🥂🍾.

A wonderful evening with very good food and excellent service. We're already looking forward to the next time.

It was an absolutely successful evening. The boss certainly deserves his name.

This restaurant is excellent very friendly staff we will definitely come again

Food: Great! Especially seemingly simple dishes like lamb's lettuce or wild garlic soup are skillfully prepared and presented. The desserts were also top-notch. Ambience: Good. But it doesn't blow me away. Especially when you learn that the other restaurants are supposed to be decorated the same way, you're even less impressed. Considering the prices, it shouldn't be any worse. Service: Extremely bad! With two guests, you have to repeatedly ask who gets which dish. A change to the order is forgotten. The waiter doesn't know what ingredients are in the tartar and even finds it funny. Simple etiquette rules are constantly ignored. Not all guests are treated equally. The list of blunders goes on. It's amazing how they managed to string all of this together in three hours, given the standard of service that should actually be expected. Therefore, the service manager should be fired, because the only hiring criteria seems to be young and dynamic, plus white sneakers. None of the professional expertise. It's a shame for the kitchen that the service is trampling on their work. In any case, this experience has remained in my memory for a long time, and not in a positive sense.

You can experience culinary delights in a wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service. Thank you! We'll be back!

Last Saturday, we spontaneously ended up at Colette. It was packed outside, but the staff was super friendly and offered us a drink at the bar inside – a really nice gesture! A table was free after a while, and we were able to relax and enjoy dinner. We ordered the Wellington menu – simply delicious! Every course was perfectly balanced and incredibly tasty. Great food, a relaxed vibe, and an attentive team. We'll definitely be back!

My long-anticipated visit to Colette last night regrettably fell short of expectations, resulting in a merely acceptable, yet ultimately disappointing, experience. Service was a notable concern. Despite the restaurant being only half full, the staff seemed overwhelmed and rushed. Interactions were brief, lacking the warmth and attentiveness one hopes for, which detracted from the overall dining atmosphere. Food quality was inconsistent. The prawn starter's pistachio crumb was excessive, overpowering the prawns. Steaks, ordered medium, arrived medium-rare. While a complimentary dessert was offered as compensation, it didn't fully compensate for the main course issue. On a positive note, the wine list was excellent, proving to be a highlight of the evening. In summary, the meal was just okay, and the price-to-performance ratio was significantly off. Despite the gesture of a free dessert, I would not return, sorry. It was an adequate, but ultimately disappointing, visit.

Delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, top-notch service, and a very pleasant ambiance. There are various refinements and special features that I haven't found elsewhere: iced Sarti Spritz, pickle amuse-bouche, for example—a truly wonderful experience and a lovely evening.

As always, it was an exceptional evening at Colette. We had the set menu – incredibly good!

Utmost perfection. The service was amazing — I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews about it. We felt right at home. I had the Selection Menu. One word: amazing. The dessert was a 9/10 — but that's really splitting hairs. My wife had the Vegan Menu, and she was very happy with it! All in all, I would definitely recommend this place.

We were at the brasserie yesterday... and all I can say is: it was great! Our waiter was so attentive, but also pleasantly in the background. Never intrusive, but always there at the right time. The shrimp were a dream, the octopus a sensation... To start with, the pre-ordered Crémand arrived in an ice cooler... oh... it was great and we'll be back. A little vacation from everyday life. Unfortunately, we were soaking wet - and had just come out of the storm... But even that was forgotten thanks to the lovely atmosphere. Thank you so much ❣️ Best regards, Christine and Daniel

Very good food, but the service doesn't match the prices at all. The waiters are primarily concerned with themselves. Fresh water when the bottle is empty? None. Offering an aperitif? No. And there's no cutlery. On top of that, the restroom smelled so disgusting – ugh!

We were here for the summer special (€59 for 3 courses). The food was very good and the service was truly attentive. I also think the concept of this special is really great. Without it, we probably wouldn't have discovered the brasserie (via Instagram). Highly recommended if you want to try something different and special.

Great food in a relaxed atmosphere! The beef fillet was cooked to perfection and super tender, and the octopus was wonderfully flavorful and grilled to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a place you'll want to return to!

It's been a long time since I've eaten at such a good restaurant. To start with, we had Prosecco/Cremant on the house because it was my birthday – a really lovely gesture! Before that, we also had homemade pickled gherkins and delicious crusty bread! We even got to take the gherkins home in a jar! We had the Filet Wellington menu, and it was a dream from start to finish! Every portion was generous and the flavor was simply delicious! Fairly priced! I can highly recommend this restaurant if you want something special but don't want to spend a fortune on a three-star restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Interesting location: in a retirement home. Elegant ambiance, classic French cuisine with sophisticated details. Very friendly, attentive service. Good (German) wines. We had vintage wines from Dreißigacker. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful evening with delicious food, wonderful wine – thanks to good advice – and great service. Thank you so much for the wonderful time. We'll be back! Update June 2025 Sensational winemaker's evening. Thanks to everyone involved: the Colette kitchen team, the Deissigacker Winery, and the Colette service team. A superb menu with great wines, and a pleasant service. Everything was fantastic ❤️

As we've come to expect from Tim Raue and Brasserie Colette, the food was fantastic and the service excellent. A wonderful evening :)

We were at Tim Raue's Colette in Munich and had both menus: classic and vegan. The Tim Raue menu was strong, the vegan one disappointing. A lot of hype with strong flavors, but it lacked balance. Sometimes too spicy, sometimes over-seasoned, often just too forced. Simply too weak for the price. My conclusion: Cobbler, stick to your last. Vegan dishes should only be offered when they're up to par with the rest of the restaurant. The service was very friendly, the ambiance pleasant. I wouldn't recommend Colette to vegans or anyone who wants good vegan food.

Refined and elegant, this restaurant really pampered us. The waiters were very attentive to detail and did not overlook anything. We had a 5-course dinner and my favorite dishes were the appetizer (tempura prawns with pistachio grains) and the main course (veal medallion in a crust), both delicious! The dessert disappointed me a little but maybe I was the only one who did not appreciate it because my companions of the evening did not make any negative comments. I recommend going and trying it!

From the moment we arrived, the charming ambience set the tone for a memorable evening. The option for outdoor seating added a wonderful touch, perfect for enjoying a relaxed yet refined dining experience. Service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely engaging. The team ensured we felt welcomed and well cared for throughout the night. As for the food, it was simply outstanding. We began with Oysters and Bouillabaisse, both bursting with flavour and freshness—an excellent introduction to what was to come. For the main course, the Pulpo and Rinderfilet were prepared to perfection, each dish showcasing both creativity and culinary expertise. Dessert was another highlight: the Birne 1001 was a delicious and elegant finish to the meal. Complementing the dishes was a thoughtfully curated wine list, offering excellent pairings to elevate each course. Overall, it was a truly lovely evening filled with fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be returning!

An excellent fillet of beef Wellington in a lovely atmosphere

We were in the brasserie for the first time today. Had the vegan 5-course menu and 3 different dishes. It was really top, diverse taste experiences. Service was very accommodating - with a small appetizer on the house beforehand.

Elegant and cozy restaurant in the heart of Munich! Very exceptional - take the shrimps, probably the best ones I have ever had!

Great evening with excellent food and great service

Everything was great, the food was very tasty!! We drove an extra 2 hours and it was absolutely worth it!

Great ambience, great service, really good food... just perfect to enjoy and switch off

Relaxed atmosphere, great food, good service, attentive but not intrusive. We'll be back

Awesome experience, now 5th time and always great

Really a very successful evening. Professional, friendly staff, very good dishes, wonderful, appropriate wine accompaniment. Gladly again

As always, the experience was perfect again! We had oysters, shrimp, a large artichoke, fillet and cannelloni, followed by aperitifs and Negroni, with water and wine. The quality, presentation, taste, everything was as you would expect in this class. The service was also excellent as always. High prices but absolutely justified for the performance. We'll be back!

Super delicious food, great staff!

We've been coming here for years. Very tasty, great atmosphere, super nice staff. We can warmly recommend the vegan menu - especially with wine accompaniment!

Absolutely recommended restaurant. Top quality of products, service and ambience. Any time. A successful evening.

A really nice evening!! Attentive, fast and professional service, very refined cuisine and an excellent wine list, see you soon.

OK, it's not a price breaker, but if you've decided that it should be a special meal, then different standards apply. And there is that

Attentive, pleasantly unobtrusive service, the food was a delight.

Appetizer: Fried shrimp with pistachios and lychees. Lychees and shrimps go very well together. Appetizer: artichokes with three dipping sauces. The artichokes are of good quality and the lemon sauce is very appetizing. The main course "Cafe de Paris" filet mignon is medium rare, tender and juicy. Main meal: Octopus feet with truffle Jerusalem artichoke puree, soft and delicious
