Ella - Restaurant & Café am Königsplatz in München

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Great menu with matching wine accompaniment

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!

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.

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.

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.

Very unfriendly service, food is mediocre

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.

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.

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.

The restaurant can also be accessed from the Lenbachhaus museum. They organize joint dinners and visits to the museum with a curated menu and a guided tour at a controlled price. I enjoyed an aperitif. Staff not too friendly.

Be careful with the mushrooms, although delicious they might upset you; don’t consume with alcohol and don’t eat the whole dish if you haven’t tried it before!

5 star deluxe, very friendly people, great terrace and fine food.

I just ran ahead! No official rating!

Breakfast is only until 12, no brunch menu, lunch menu is limited. Not all tables were cleaned, the staff enjoyed some casual banter at the bar more than serving customers. Great location but poorly managed. The bathroom and the furniture also could use some renovation.

Absolutely terrific service. Friendliest I have ever received in Munich! The waitress was extremely nice, efficient, and making an effort to interact not just with me but everyone around. All guests were very pleased. Atmosphere is very pleasant, not crowded, and tables have enough separation that you don‘t listen to the people next to you. Coffee is fantastic, and food is good. Portions are a little small, so just keep that in mind.

Special ambience for public viewing! Super spontaneous and friendly team! All locations were fully booked - the Ella team spontaneously organized a great place for us!! Thank you very much - it was great with you - again at any time!!

We spontaneously went to the Lenbachhaus for the public viewing. They made space for 9 people for us, which was great! Even though Roland Kaiser played at Königsplatz at the same time, everything worked out great! The service was super competent and very kind! We have and felt very comfortable. They tried very hard, even if the transmission didn't work completely smoothly, we had a great football evening! It was nice

Perfect for grabbing something to eat before visiting the museum

Sensational situation. Nice team. Prices appropriate for the location.

The Lenbach residence and art museum were great, and the atmosphere and food at the restaurant next to the art museum were especially great.

I went to the restaurant for coffee and cake. With the service and quality of... I was happy with the coffee and cake.

Pritty much loved the the place and its dynamic! The drinks and cakes are delicious! Worth trying the painting workshop too!

Super tasty and really friendly service! We'd love to come back!

Expensive but meh. 8€ for 0.75 liters of water is extortionate, you have to say. But the food and ambience make up for it. If I had more money, I would probably come more often. I found the shrimp salad and the zucchini cherry cake particularly interesting in terms of taste. Latte macchiato was one of the best I've had in Munich so far (it was practically not bitter). Chai latte, but as we all know, very sweet. The view of Propylaea is particularly amazing

I used to love this restaurant. No matter whether for lunch, afternoon or evening. The staff are always very friendly, but the prices have been increased a lot. That doesn't make up for this beautiful view. Let's see if I come back.

Modern coffee restaurant with a good selection of dishes and cakes. Service staff was very friendly.

When the sun is shining, it's a very comfortable terrace seat... The historic Kónigspkatz tower and museum are on both sides, giving you a great view!!! Although it may seem a bit expensive, I think it's good for lunch, tea time, or as a break after touring the museum. It's quicker and more convenient than U2

Bad, overpriced coffee. Paid €20.40 for 3 cappuccinos on ice. Any sweetened ready mix from the refrigerated section. Incomprehensible.

Truffle fries were great. Gnocchi and noodles as you would expect from the Germans. Service was very friendly.

Slightly difficult case. Terrace, setting and also the products we had (when we finally got there) were wonderful, service was very disorganized and quite rude.

Very courteous staff, pleasant atmosphere, good service, good coffee

Not good. Service extremely slow and confusing. Barista (male) (or was it Cheeeef) unpleasant. Better go to the cafe in Brandhorst!

A nice café, but the prices are awesome, a piece of cake 6.30 and a latte 5.80. It tasted good but unfortunately there was a bit of an aftertaste given the price. 25€ too far for 2 kitchens and 2 coffees.

A very nice place in the museum area, at the exit of the museum of Greek and Roman culture. We just had some beers

It's nice to sit here. Especially outdoors, with a view of the buildings from Königsplatz.

Everything perfect! Very friendly staff and delicious food. A bit expensive but of course it was worth it! Also nice view of the Propylaea. We had a table by the window. We would love to come back!

Oat milk for 90 cents extra. That's really outrageous in 2024.

Mini iced coffee for 8.80 euros. It was tasty, but you can tell the price needs to be explained. My explanation: Energy prices and the minimum wage have an impact. Basically ok But I still don't come here anymore because there are too many smokers sitting outside and bothering non-smokers.

We ended up in this café by chance today and were really impressed. The lemonades, muesli and Bircher muesli were sensationally delicious and also wonderfully prepared. Particularly noteworthy is the service, which is not only friendly and accommodating, but also has a joke for every guest. This made us feel completely comfortable, thank you very much!

They have great location but there staff is very rude.we order a simple drink but we waiting 40min for that and they say its normally so they must respect the customer and our times

Good lunch! Nice personel! Beautiful view of Königsplatz! Located in the northern city center with many museums!

Locally upscale. Falafel were very tasty and not too dry.

Staff: “What do you just want a coffee? Will it take long?” No comments necessary!

Very nicely located café right in the Lenbachhaus. We had breakfast here. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The staff is very friendly. The location with a view of Königsplatz is great

Really excellent cafe & brunch! The service is fantastic and the view of Königsplatz is beautiful! Special thanks to Damir for taking special care of us!!

Nice cafe inside and with a nice terrace outside. It's easy to get to and the staff was friendly too. Negative point... the cake is too expensive at over €6 per piece. A pity

After enjoying art, a noble conclusion in the Lenbachhaus

Nice ambiance. Best truffle risotto that I've had

Nice here! Munich super prices - less nice. But the service is very attentive, nice and quick, even when there is a lot going on. The food was great - porcini mushroom gnocchi (€26), with a fresh Lugana. Perfect for a little break.

Unfortunately, the service is subpar and the price is unreasonable. I was there yesterday for coffee with a good business contact. The service was initially polite. Half an hour before the end, everything suddenly had to happen very quickly and we were asked to pay immediately. When I asked about the toilet, the waitress replied that she “didn’t know” if there was a toilet. She can tell that nonsense to someone else. If she waits there for god knows how long, she will also know where the toilets are. In a large museum like the Lenbachhaus there are of course toilets. That's not good service. After using the toilet I wasn't allowed in because it was already closed. My jacket and hat were still in the coffee. I had to wait in front of the Lenbachhaus until my contact brought me the clothes. I currently had bronchitis and coughed audibly and visibly during my coffee visit. Given this, the waitress's conclusion to our visit was very rude and inconsiderate. I will drink my coffee elsewhere in the future. The ambience is very bright and flooded with light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Due to the narrow space, the noise level is relatively high. Overall it's pleasant. The food is OK in terms of taste and quality, but not great.

We had a prosecco at Ella before the exhibition today and were served by an extremely charming waitress. We'd love to come back. .

Very good quality, comfortable furnishings, nice, friendly staff despite being busy

The food was very tasty, the service was charming and quick, even though the restaurant was completely full. I really enjoyed the ambience and the great view.

It was really expensive, latte macchiato €6.50. It's also a big city 🤷🏽‍♀️ otherwise I really like Munich. Service was a bit questionable, as the person really wanted to sell us cake...we didn't eat anything, just drank a coffee...

Delicious food, good wine and very friendly service.

Absolutely rude younger male waiter, I definitely won't be going to this cafe again.

Very nice café in a great location, right in the Lenbachhaus. Here you can get in the mood for your visit to the museum with an aromatic cappuccino. Very nice and helpful staff, despite the large number of visitors. Absolute recommendation!

Nice café. It is open till late at night, so that's a plus 👍

Friendly service, good quality but also very high prices. 1 piece of cake 6.30 🙄

Loud, overpriced and unfriendly staff 😢

Drink coffee directly at Königsplatz. I've been to Ella a few times. The café was always very busy, which is why people often sit very close together and it is also relatively loud. You will be seated by the respective service person. The service staff is well utilized, some are very friendly, others not so much. The review of the food is only for cake as I haven't tried anything else. This one was always delicious. There is a selection of different cakes. The ambience is nice and bright and simple. The prices are a little higher than in some surrounding cafes, but the location right on Königsplatz excuses that. All in all, a good place for coffee and cake.

Delicious cakes and good coffee. Just the thing after a visit to the Lenbachhaus. Be careful, it gets overcrowded quickly. But it's worth waiting to get a spot.

Quite a problem place, everything is a problem and the prices are steep. Some of the waitresses were very nice.

I was only here for a short time. The spray is very expensive and very diluted. The service wasn't unfriendly, but not friendly either. They don't look you in the eyes, but rather on their display.

A really successful breakfast! The scrambled eggs with bacon and hot coffee are a real treat with a view of Königsplatz. Friendly and courteous service is included. Only recommended!

Good and affordable breakfast and cake selection with very attentive service. The 3 pancakes for €6.50 are delicious.

I was in this cafe for the first and last time today. At around 2:45 p.m. I wanted to drink tea and maybe eat a cake but there was a queue. No problem, I thought, according to the internet they are open until 6 p.m. I then went to the Lenbachhaus and then to the cafe at 5:15 p.m. and was initially happy that there was no queue and a few free tables. 2 waiters didn't pay any attention to me (they probably saw me. I even had eye contact with one) but around 5:25 p.m. I was able to talk to a waitress who said that they had stopped taking in because they still had to clean up - so it's open until 6 p.m. but at 5:25 p.m. you can't even order something to drink. The one star you have to give is for the beautiful view of Königsplatz and for the fact that the waitress at least said she was sorry.

Super nice service! Had a wonderful spot in the sun and a glass of tap water with my delicious cappuccino. My dog ​​was also immediately thought of.

The food itself was decent and tasted good. The cream cheese is not the usual cheap stuff but real cream cheese. Toasted bread with herbs is served with the scrambled eggs. The service is completely different. Lunch isn't available until 12 and the response when we asked about it at 11:30 was stroppy at best. Until we had our food, the next table was occupied, ordered, eaten and paid there. The spoons were missing and we received 6 slices of baguette-sized bread for 4 people and had to order more twice.
