Ella - Restaurant & Café am Königsplatz in München

The business lunch is highly recommended. You can sit on the terrace with an interesting view, and the service is friendly and attentive.

First time dining here definately not the last.

The "Blaue Reiter" main course was a culinary experience. This dish corrected my aversion to mushrooms. Thank you!

I've been to the café twice now for work, and the staff were incredibly rude and inattentive. What a shame for such a great museum.

Absolutely excellent service. The waitress treated all guests with wonderful courtesy and friendliness. When something went wrong with my order, the problem was resolved immediately and without fuss. The ambiance, the view, the location – simply perfect.

Perfect spot for breakfast and Catherine made our morning more beautiful :)

Beautifully located café, small menu, which suggests freshness, service could be faster, prices very high

The food was an absolute highlight. Unfortunately, the service seemed poorly organized, and we had to wait a long time for everything, including drinks and food. However, everyone was very friendly, and the price/performance ratio would have been perfectly acceptable, if the ambiance had also been perfect. 😉

I wanted to eat at Ella for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. Business lunch until 3 p.m., arrived at 2 p.m., well attended but not full, lots of retirees. Fair prices: business lunch €19.80 with a starter, wine €4-7 by the glass. Great cake buffet. After 10 minutes, two cakes are placed in front of me. I didn't order them. Cakes are cleared away, not a word from two waitresses. Next door, a waitress and three people are telling each other their life stories. I may be petty, but after 20 minutes, no greeting, no questions about drinks, I don't even know who's in charge. Unfortunately, even as a self-employed person, my time is limited. The food must be excellent, friends say. When I retire, I'll try it. I'll have time then.

Very bad experience : I went there for lunch time and a lovely lady advised me to go to the bar.I stayed there and no one cared about me . Then seeing a free table ,I asked if I could sit and a man refused only because I was alone.He suggested to go to the bar..... It is terribly offending !!!! It is a shame in 2025 and in Bayern to see a refusal in a restaurant just because you are alone and you are making less money than a couple or a family !!

Very bad experience, we had to ask to 4 people where to order coffe to go, coffe was very expensive 5.5 euros each and no much flavour but the worst thing it was the barista on saturday afternoon, he very rude and angry. I will never come back

Left again without ordering. The service was extremely slow and staff ignored us completely.

Great ambience. Staff extremely quick and friendly. Food very good. Any intolerances have been taken into account. And not the usual sweet Prosecco, but a Brut and a Franciacorta, even by the glass. Top recommendation

Very good view, best to sit out when weather is nice.

Had a really great afternoon lunch at ELLA a couple days ago! The waitress was super friendly, the Pasta Arrabiata was the best I've had (really diverse in flavor) and an amazing Crème Brûlée as desert! My Maracuja Spritz was delicious as well :) Can definitely recommend and will come again!

Delicious food and friendly waitress

Reserve a table for breakfast before visiting the Lenbachhaus. With a view of Königsplatz we felt like kings. Very friendly staff, great breakfast and a perfect latte macchiato. Thank you for the lovely hour.

Had drinks there after visiting the museum. The service was great and friendly, really a warm atmosphere

Very good food. Steak was great. Good service

Attached to the Lenbachhaus. Overall a nice experience. The service person was very friendly and talkative. Food was OK. MMn. Eggs Benedict a little too runny. Priced more than okay for food. We might try it for lunch sometime.

Sorry but 5 euros for a 0.2 drink and hardly any choice other than Fanta doesn't justify the location. Since it doesn't take long to drink a 0.2 soda, we would be thrown out after 20 minutes, at half past six, and it's over at 6 p.m. I live around the corner and I definitely won't be coming back.

I paid for coffee but didn't get it. I waited over 15 minutes. I consider this a scam.

Wanted to drink coffee outside yesterday (there were several people sitting there). Since no service staff showed up after a long time, we tried to order directly at the counter inside: no result - we were totally ignored (like two other people waiting there). So we went to a nearby Cotidiano, where we were greeted and served very nicely! It works!

I was so excited! The food was incredibly amazing and the service from Sheriff and Damier was exceptional! You won't find such great staff so quickly. We immediately felt at home - thank you again for the great evening!!

An ideal place to fortify yourself after visiting the museum. Delicious cakes, small dishes, very friendly service.

It's probably great to sit outside in summer, as they have a big outdoor area. Inside is nothing special, the place can get pretty busy especially during lunch. The portions are medium, prices are a bit higher than usual, but the taste is awesome.

Very good food. Great location with a view of Königsplatz. Another highlight after a visit to the museum. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the lovely terrace is often closed when the sun is shining. Not even when you get an espresso at the bar and pay for it yourself. Unfortunately, this has happened to me quite often in nice spring weather. The food is too experimental for me, unfortunately. I used to like it much better and it tasted better.

I visited the cafe-bar and found the atmosphere very pleasant. And the service was super friendly and attentive – exceptional! Thank you very much.

Unfortunately we had to wait 50 minutes for food... Well, if you can suddenly sit outside

A direct hit! The location, the first-class food and the courteous service staff...I'll be raving about the dessert for a while.

A pleasant place where you can serve a coffee on a weekend day, after visiting the museum. However, you should expect to stand in line sometimes during the weekend. I recommend with confidence!

A terrible place. I waited 5-6 minutes just for the menu and was ignored. She never came, so I left. Such service is simply unacceptable.

Very friendly service. We only enjoyed coffee and cake and were very satisfied, also recommended for a break when visiting the exhibition.

The staff is friendly, but seems a bit disorganized. We had the dish of the day (very tough veal boiled beef) as well as an espresso and were served by 4 different employees. Despite our advanced age, we were treated mercilessly. Despite the nice staff and the beautiful location, there was no atmosphere because the restaurant is very restless and there is senseless stress. Too bad! Not recommended after a visit to a museum.

Super friendly service and the London cheesecake with your cappuccino was a dream!

Despite the large crowds, five of us got a seat in this restaurant after a short wait. The waiter was very friendly and the food was excellent.

Great food, very good value for money. You don't notice that you're eating gluten-free. And those affected by celiac disease can be completely relaxed.

I haven't eaten, so I don't know what the food is like. The staff is great, especially a young, handsome, plump but warm and soft gentleman with a cool blond streak. I recommend it from ❤️, the staff creates an atmosphere as if you are at home!

Super friendly conditions. The food was very tasty and also looked very visually appealing.

We had an event there... the service team was great, the food was great and the atmosphere there was great... always happy again! LG

Very nice service even though it was very busy. Good quality of food and drinks. Discount for visitors to the Lenbachhaus. Reservation recommended.

The Ella in the Lenbachhaus is ideal as part of a museum visit as well as for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. A reservation is recommended but not absolutely necessary. The risotto with porcini mushrooms is e.g. B. very good, cake and dessert also recommended. There is a terrace and inside you can also sit very nicely by the large windows. The service is friendly and accommodating.

Very nice atmosphere. You can have a café there and have a nice meal there. To my surprise, there were real meals there. I found the price level to be relatively high, but the falafel was very tasty. We sat very comfortably at the smaller tables and had a great chat even though there was a lot going on. Service was very friendly. But you had to wait a while for your order. I'd love to come back.

Its always nice to have a cozy cafe next to a breathtaking exhibition.

Beautiful café in the Lenbachhaus. Stylish, elegant, with a great terrace in summer. Delicious cakes, especially Torts della Nonna

The three of us had lunch at lunchtime. The service was friendly and professional. The meal was excellent. And coffee and espresso are almost even better. Unfortunately we couldn't try the dessert because we were completely full from one starter for three and three main courses. We'd love to come back.

A gem among museum restaurants. Quiet, dignified atmosphere inside, sunny terrace outside, plus creative, fine cuisine with reasonable prices. We had duck breast with Jerusalem artichokes and Brussels sprouts and pulled beef croquettes with white kimchi and mayonaise. Both fine. Worth a visit even without a museum visit.

Very cozy, very friendly, delicious food

Average food, lovely ambiance but I wouldn’t come again

Really top - food, service, ambience. Before or after enjoying art in the Lenbachmuseum.

Perfect end to the museum visit. Excellent coffee and the zucchini nut cake was really very good.

Was here as part of a company party, the cocktails were a bit bland, the food was good, I would have liked to have skipped the turkey sauce, the vegetarian alternatives would have been too simple for me. The waitresses were attentive and friendly, especially the women. Starter and dessert were good. It's a bit expensive because of the proximity to the Lenbachhaus, especially the vegetarian dishes.

We had called 2 weeks in advance for our wedding anniversary on December 12th. reserved in the evening. When we got to the restaurant everything was prepared for a private party and our reservation was neither known nor of interest. What further disappointed me was that it was dismissed succinctly and there was no real apology. Too bad! Goodbye Ella!

We were at Ella's again on a sunny afternoon in autumn. The restaurant was well attended, and there were also a few people sitting on the terrace. The place is just beautiful, the restaurant could do with a little renovation in one place or another. The service was quick and very friendly. The food was also very good and not expensive by Munich standards. We were completely satisfied!

A worthwhile place to gather strength between exhibitions, process impressions and replenish your memories! Gladly again!

Pancakes Delicious hot cakes with enough syrup for two servings and also has jam and fruit. Better with bacon. They don't have lactose-free milk, but a black coffee is the option and better after eating so much sweets. beautiful view

We were there on the last day of the eating class. The menu was very tasty. The selection of individual wines was very good. There was a small increase in each course, and everything was explained very well and technically. Thank you for the nice service, praise for the excellent cuisine. We'll be back soon.

Cozy restaurant/café in the Lembachhaus. In summer you can sit outside, but of course not anymore in November. There are little things to eat, the cake tastes good. A little expensive, but okay. Can also be visited without visiting the museum. The best way to reach Lembachplatz is by subway. Parking spaces are rather difficult to find. I have rarely experienced such a polite and courteous service employee!

Very nice staff: attentive and friendly despite the restaurant being full

1 with an asterisk Just enjoy: Service, drinks and food

Incredible lavender cake. It's a shame I had to wait too long to pay.

The camp is great, sitting on the terrace is lovely, especially on sunny days. However, the waitresses seemed overwhelmed over the last few visits; we waited a long time for our food and didn't get it together. The taste is mediocre and the price is upscale. So for me it's now a place for a cozy coffee, but nothing more.

Yesterday the four of us went to Ella and took part in the eating class there. We were completely thrilled, the food was excellent and, thanks to Julia, the service was excellent. Thank you for the great evening

Brilliant evening with the dining class menu: divinely imaginative food, the service was outstanding without being annoyingly intrusive. The wines went really well with the courses in a way that you rarely experience. There is plenty of space between the tables and you can have a good conversation. The decor is cool, modern, reserved - very appropriate.

We waited almost 30 minutes until someone took pity on us and took our order. Staff listless and demotivated. The foccacia was carelessly prepared and ice cold. Not recommended at all!

To the ESS class at ELLA. Great ambience, great service and outstanding cuisine in terms of quality and presentation. Personally greeted by GF at the table is also a pleasant gesture. Even a meat-free alternative was found quickly and without any problems. Hmmmm very tasty. All in all, happy again.

Nice desert, but generally pretty overpriced, considering available options around. Stuff is very friendly . Probably need a reservation around lunch time.

Delicious cake and great chai latte, very friendly service.

The four of us had a wonderful evening in the ESSKLASSE. Food and wine excellent! The service was exceptionally nice and competent!!!!

Just had something to drink. Great ambience. Service OK, 5 stars would have been easy if the behavior had been a little less surprising.

Very good cappuccino, elegant ambience.

Great menu with matching wine accompaniment

delicious food, Mega nice service and A wonderful atmosphere. We were totally surprised at how good it is

We only had dessert and wine. Both were great.

Food was great, drinks were great too. The location is very nice to sit outside with a view of Königsplatz. Staff always very friendly.

Food is great, coffee too, location wonderful and staff really very friendly!

Best experience! Service, kitchen 1a

They never took my order. I sat there for 30 minutes and then I left

A wonderful place to reflect on your visit to the Lenbachhaus. Food, service and ambience were very good and nice.

Superb place to eat with a view!

The Ella is stylish and offers a great ambience. I felt very comfortable. Service was perfect, I never had to wait long for anything and the food was delicious! I'd love to come back!

Despite the total overcrowding on an eventful day, people were polite and friendly in the Bavarian way ;). Gladly again!

Beautifully decorated restaurant. The dishes are well presented and what we ordered was ideal for a balanced lunch. The waiter who took care of us did his best to be pleasant to us. However, the price is a bit expensive...

We went to this cafe yesterday and had a lovely time. The employees are very friendly and personable. The cake and drinks were very tasty. The ambience with a view of Königsplatz is of course the cherry on the cake.

As I often do, I was at Ella, which to this day is one of my absolute favorites in Munich. Unfortunately, my visit was overshadowed by a very unpleasant experience: Due to a Reich citizens demonstration, the restaurant was unfortunately visited today by people who openly displayed right-wing extremist ideas. It was really depressing no matter where you looked. I would have liked a place like Ella to clearly distance itself from such people. Unfortunately, the opportunity was not used to take a clear stance against extremist ideologies. That's why I'll take the opportunity and distance myself from this restaurant in the future. I would have expected more attitude. Not every sale is worthwhile! It's a shame that no attitude was shown! A restaurant for everyone… will perhaps be one of many arguments. Goodbye Ela

Great service with good food for a good price!

A very good breakfast with adequate value for money. What I liked most was the attention and kindness of those who serve

A great place for a lovely afternoon! A morning with breakfast will be tried out soon. Cake and coffee are great! The service is very warm!

Very nice museum café with great service.

Very unfriendly service, food is mediocre

When we arrived we actually started straight away A lady who was with us was a little older and ran forward to look for a place. She apparently ran a little too closely to the window pane after a waitress and shouted at her in an extremely unfriendly and loud tone that she couldn't get through there and that she would run into the pane. Luckily that didn't happen and it was of course very thoughtful that she pointed it out to them. However, it sounded more like our companion hadn't paid for dinner and had been told what she could think of. It has to be said that our companion was so extremely frightened that we were more afraid that she would have a heart attack instead of running into a window at 0.5 km/h. Then I said But that it can also be done in a more friendly way. But the service didn't like that at all. She became loud again and complained loudly about the “youth”. (I'm not even that young so I'll take it as a compliment, thank you very much!) And she said that next time she would let the older lady go to the window. (We're not coming anymore anyway) So her tone totally distracted from the real problem. Afterwards, of course, she had to explain to the other guests (who were completely disturbed because of the volume) what kind of hero she is and that she just didn't do anything wrong. It was also made clear to the other employees that I was supposedly the problem and that she was not aware of any guilt. It's a shame when you think about the fact that she complained about young people, but reacted quite childishly herself. Another gentleman then served us, he was very friendly. The food was mediocre we ordered a cherry cake and a cheesecake. The cherry cake was good the cheesecake was more salty than sweet and was very dry. The still water was warm rather than cool. There were a few difficulties when paying so we didn't get a receipt. However, the waiter couldn't do anything about it, which of course wasn't a problem.

You can sit there as nicely as you like shade or in the sun. I had a cappuccino with oat milk and really loved the taste. A great place to have a relaxed coffee drink!

Nice place on Königsplatz. Has its crazy price. 1 glass of white wine 12 euros. Eat accordingly. For those who want to pay these prices.

Had a good time sitting on the terrace. Non-alcoholic wheat and egg white wine spritzer costs 0.4 liters. 16.50€. Service staff very friendly

The fries were totally over salted and there was a constant loud beeping coming from the direction of the bar, which was really annoying.

Very tasty food, though the chorizo in my soup was barely visible to the naked eye. Service on the slow side. Ridiculously expensive for what it is. I wonder if the museum benefits from the profits?

I was here for dinner today. I had paprika cream soup as a starter and halibut (fish) as a main course. My husband had an entrecôte medium rare (juicy, reddish inside) - really well done. Both tasted great, with a glass of white wine. Finally a cappuccino (Coffee Vergnago - Italia) nice milk foam and strong coffee taste. I also think the view from the café is very nice. Good location. The staff was also very nice. Unfortunately we were so hungry that we didn't take any photos of the main courses... But everything was beautifully presented.

Wonderful area to sit and socialise with friends for its interior aesthetics or nice location within Königsplatz. Good option to have your breakfast with a big variety of the menu. Good quality of the cafe. The service was great too. Our waiter was very friendly and joked with us as well.

A beautiful restaurant next to the Lenbachhaus museum and Königsplatz. The dishes are delicious and beautifully plated. The menu is not inexpensive but the business lunch offers are relatively good value for the quality.
