Gandl Feinkost Speisen Bar in München

a classic in Munich, always nice absolutely delicious food, nice team, great service

We chose the €79 menu and it was absolutely delightful. The service was attentive and friendly, and every dish was full of flavor. We'd happily return

Update March 2025: Lunch on March 19th Had here and waited almost 45 minutes for the main course after the starter. No apology or admission that you forgot something. Disappointing. The fact remains that the location is a dream and the service can be improved very much. ---- The Gandl is wonderful if you want to spend a warm summer evening outside on Sankt-Anna-Platz. You don't go here for the amazing food. This isn't bad, but it doesn't live up to expectations given the higher quality dishes and the price charged. The sirloin of beef was a bit too tough, the side dishes with the fish were disappointing (both around 30 euros). I've already had the piece of herb butter in canteens. At lunchtime, however, chanterelle soup, lasagne and gnocchi are okay for the money. Service is friendly and reserved, but could be a little more attentive. We live a 3-minute walk away and really like Sankt-Anna-Platz. Tip as a better culinary alternative: The Louis Cousine on Tattenbachstrasse.

Great🍽️food🍛, great atmosphere, like people watching in a grocery store or outside✅

We had the five-course menu with wine accompaniment, which was comparatively cheap at €79. (it was a special promotion). The restaurant was fully booked, with an estimated 80 people there. The tables were very narrow. The food was a disappointment from start to finish: the asparagus and goat cream cheese quiche came across like frozen food into which two asparagus tips had been uninspiredly stuck. The pea and tarragon soup was a completely tasteless green mush that couldn't be saved even with lots of salt and pepper. The saffron risotto was so tasteless that we completely finished off the grated Parmesan that was served with it at the table, which unfortunately didn't help either; But at least it tasted like Parmesan. The main course, a flambéed sirloin of beef, consisted of four fairly thin slices on a jus and 5 sugar snap peas without any side dish. The whole thing was then flambéed at the table and tasted essentially like the alcohol used for flambéing. The chef was definitely not in love, we had to add massive amounts of seasoning to all of the dishes. I've eaten better in some canteens. For dessert there was a scoop of ice cream floating in yogurt. At least you didn't have to salt them. The whole thing gave us the impression that a moderately talented chef was trying to act like fine dining. I prefer not to write anything about the wine accompaniment here. This was specified by Rindchens Weinkontor as part of the campaign. Again: for the price of 79 € you certainly can't expect star cuisine and without a large kitchen team it is certainly incredibly difficult to serve the overcrowded restaurant properly in one shift. My wife had been to Gandl once before and said the food was much better there. For me it will definitely be a unique experience. Last but not least: for around 80 people, a single women's and men's toilet is not possible at all. That alone is a reason for me not to go there again.

We were there with a larger group (11 people). This was preceded by a phone call with the restaurant because we had different menu requests and some of us wanted to dine a la carte. During the phone call we were assured that we could book both saddle of venison and black-feathered chicken as a menu, just like eating a la carte. This was very important because some of us had already prepared ourselves for the saddle of venison. We could also decide on the wine accompaniment on site. As a result of this telephone call, the booking was maintained. At first we were told that we had all booked the menu. This was then corrected. Then suddenly there was no saddle of venison and when a large part of the group decided on the menu with black-feathered chicken, they said - there was no black-feathered chicken either. The menu card (with black-feathered chicken) was in front of us in various copies on the table. We felt pretty “cheated” then. The food used to be a lot better. Instead of the black feather chicken there was corn poularde - not particularly juicy. The a la carte orders also didn't cause any enthusiasm, the meat was too tough... It was also clear that the quantities on the menu were unevenly distributed. For example, if there were 2 pear pieces for the starter on one plate, there were 10 on the other. The pieces of meat were different sizes and the amount of side dishes was different. What was particularly noticeable was that some of the plates were not beautifully presented. The components flowed into each other as if the plates were briefly held at an angle. All in all a big disappointment. But the biggest trouble came at the end. In the end we received a huge bill and only through our careful checking did we realize that all menus had been accompanied by wine. In fact, no one had booked wine pairings. The service just said she was surprised at the high bill. Uh, how about... checking the bill before giving it to the guests, how about that? Incidentally, there was no discount for the corn-fed chicken (cheaper than a black-feathered chicken) and no sign of "compensation" for the incorrect billing other than a brief apology. The restaurant itself is very nice, but half of our group sat in the middle aisle, which was very narrow. All!!! complained that the service bumped into their chairs every time they walked past. That stressed them out quite a bit. You have to ask yourself why everything is so narrow that the service has to bump left and right when you walk through. Either way, we all agreed that we would no longer visit the Gandl restaurant.

The service was inattentive and not very engaging. The problem became apparent with the first course: We had ordered a menu, but while we were enjoying our aperitif, the first course was already served to us - an inappropriate timing. There was no advice from the waitress, she was curt and didn't give the impression that she had much interest in our wishes or questions. Conclusion of the evening: The former charm and quality of the restaurant have been lost. The service is disinterested, the food is okay, but the price-performance ratio is no longer justified.

Nice shop (yes, former shop) where you can eat very well and sit nicely 1 star deduction for the food because of price/performance/portion size - definitely a recommendation!!

Exquisite food with warm and perfect service in a stylish ambience.

Unfortunately lost its luster. I knew the restaurant from my time in Munich and had spent many nice evenings there. I was promised a nice evening, good food, nice atmosphere, excellent service. None. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted with an inappropriate comment; we were apparently intruding on a closed event. After no one from the service staff made an effort, I tried to place my reservation. We were then allowed to choose a table. Ordering our drinks proved to be a hassle; the service staff didn't seem to know the range on offer and there were several questions. It was just red or white wine, so nothing crazy. We continued with the ordering of the starter and main course. The goat cheese was very ordinary, but at least warm. The game terrine was carelessly placed on a handful of wilted lettuce. Dressing, none. The main course was fish, cold, the sauce was so tasteless, the wild broccoli was rock hard. Let's get to the deer back. The red cabbage was bitter, cold, and the meat was manageable for the price. The manager then took pity on my complaint; I couldn't see any real approach as a hostess. More annoying than worthy of being a host. Conclusion of the evening: completely overpriced food, actually nice atmosphere, price-performance ratio completely inadequate. Regular customers are courted, otherwise there is a lack of attention from the staff. The only highlight was the one service person who sincerely apologized to us as we left the restaurant. That was definitely our last evening in the Gandl.

Cosy atmosphere, friendly service and good food. My chicken dish was very well prepared but could have done with a sauce. Chestnut soup delicious.

We had a very nice lunch with very good food, absolutely attentive service and absolutely fair prices. Thank you

This was once a wonderful restaurant, now came the huge disappointment: Service was very nice but I had no idea about serving. A shared starter was carelessly pushed onto the two plates and a salad was tipped over it like rubbish food far below mediocre Sole and sea bream overcooked dry and only a tiny bit. I doubt very much that it was sole. Café miserable, no idea about barista and then the climax when paying There was only an interim receipt and no invoice!!!!! rightly so yawning empty such a disappointment

5 stars for the great food, the very nice employees and the accommodating boss. Ambience also enchanting. We were completely satisfied and would love to come back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🫶

Cute cafe / restaurant with outdoor tables in the afternoon sun. Friendly service having just a coffee and Portuguese tart

The Gandl Feinkost food bar is located at St. Anna - Platz 1, in 80538 Munich. This is a good restaurant, with a terrace and fireplace. Italian dishes are served here for lunch and fine French dishes in the evenings. The ambience and atmosphere there is very pleasant. I drank a nice beer there and ate a turbot fillet. Both were very delicious. The staff is very friendly, helpful and very valuable. I would be happy to recommend this excellent address! Ladies and Gentlemen If you liked my review, please give me a like! Thank you in advance for all your good efforts. With kind recommendations Bernd Gutermuth 🍀👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🍀🌟🌟🌟🍀✌️✌️✌️🍀✨✨✨🍀♥️♥️♥️

We had spaghetti in large parmesan cheese. This gives the pasta a creamy cheese sauce. Inside you feel like you've been transported to Italy in the 70s. Outside you can sit under parasols directly on St. Anna Platz.

Wonderful food, great restaurant, our No. 1 in Munich.

The food is very tasty and the service is really excellent. We celebrated our wedding in the event rooms and it was beautiful!

Unfriendly service, was trying to get a table for a coffee just for 15 mins but the waitress totally ignored , only was friendly with German people. We were waiting for a reply for 10 mins and they completely didn’t pay attention!

Delicious food and nice wine selection. The outdoor area is perfect for watching people pass by.

The enjoyable times at GANDL were once a thing of the past... We were at GANDL once for dinner and again for lunch. The kitchen and service could clearly be upgraded... The loin at dinner was tough and the noodles at lunch were almost cold. But the atmosphere is still nice.

After a long time we paid a visit to the Gandl with guests. Still very good food and courteous employees. We spent a very pleasant evening outside on the square in pleasant temperatures.

Gandl is always worth a visit. Great ambience. The service is loving and very charming.

Small lunch menu from which some things were not available, for example the Parmesan pasta. Ruinart, it says on the map, didn't exist. The alternative, Moet, was warm. The portions are very small, but the price is ok for the location. The service was also okay, but could certainly still be improved.

It was ok, but nothing special. You have to bring time.

As always, very attentive service and top food - prices standard at this level and in Lehel

Something very special. A friendly, empathetic but discreet reception; an exquisite cuisine. In the exit area there is a huge selection of teas from the “Mariage Frères” brand. Go there alone or better yet with a friend.

Wonderful dinner with 5 course menu, nothing to complain about. Excellent wines ideally matched to the meal, from Weinkontor Rindchen. The veal medallions with sweet potatoes in their own jus were particularly good.

Went to Gandl on April 24 for the set menu with wine accompaniment. The restaurant was completely overbooked. Therefore the service took a correspondingly long time; The three service people were nevertheless extremely friendly. The food was so-so, rather tasteless, the veal fillet was dry, hard and inedible. We had to pay extra for bread, but we were given a waiver because it was also bone dry Too bad

It was ok but I've eaten better

For the money I would have expected tastier food. But wine selection and service were very good.

In the middle of Munich, in the lovely Lehel, a chilled place to drink coffee.

We went to dinner with 4 people on March 8th and all ordered the menu. The food has significantly deteriorated in quality and taste. The dessert in particular was sublime. In this price range you would expect more. I also cannot accept the statement that chefs are sick

Parmesan spaghetti from another planet. Excellent risotto. Very attentive and friendly staff, even if they almost fell over the chairs dozens of times due to the cramped conditions. Perversely expensive water (0.75 liters for Euro 8.20!). Almost indecent.

Ate very well. Friendly service. Homely atmosphere.

Tip top, great menu, warm Bavarian service

My pregnant wife and I were seated at a table by the waitress. After 15 minutes of waiting (without being asked for drinks) we were informed by the same waitress that the place was reserved and that we should please sit outside (at +3.0 degrees) as there were no more seats in the restaurant. We have been guests at Gandl several times in the past and will avoid the restaurant after this extremely unpleasant incident!

Disappointing when you compare it to before. For me and my family, the Gandl has stood for excellent quality and service for many years. We have been here before on special occasions and I have wanted to repeat this experience for many years. However, there is no comparison to before. The ambience is still something very special. However, the food was mediocre and I was annoyed by the service. The sparkling wine seemed stale instead of sparkling, the salad seemed weak instead of crisp. The main courses tasted okay, but nothing more. The portions were small and only enough for seniors or children. The service made me think of a hidden camera episode. The waiters are dressed in casual, in my opinion, inappropriate everyday clothing, no longer in the classic black and white as they used to. You are given a single sheet of paper as a card and when the outside temperature is 0 degrees you can't warm yourself up here, it's far too cold in the room and really uncomfortable. We were constantly served by two waitresses at the same time who did not communicate with each other, so we were constantly asked the same questions. The low point of the service was the mix-up of our desserts with those of the next table, which meant that the next table didn't get their dessert and one of us got the wrong one while the other waited. We were then told twice that we had the dessert from the next table, as if it were our fault. They were two different chocolate cakes, so it would be difficult for us to tell the difference. However, the waiters should be able to do this. But then having the guest blamed several times, again by the two different waitresses one after the other, was quite annoying. Finally, the wrong dessert was brought to the neighboring table and the lady who ordered tried to persuade them to take it because the dessert was almost the same. They then left the restaurant in exasperation. Overall, extremely annoying, especially considering the celebratory occasion for which we visited the restaurant. We probably would have had a better experience in a simple pub. Last but not least, the cappuccino was served so that the saucer was full. A performance on a slap stick level. This means that the Gandl did not live up to its former reputation in terms of food or service, nor did it live up to the designation of a delicatessen. Very unfortunate experience.

Wir waren am Samstag zu viert beim Abendessen. Zusammenfassend: Essen hervorragend, Service sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich, aber nicht aufdringlich und im vorderen Teil des Restaurants (am Kamin) schön zu sitzen. Ich verstehe nicht die zT "schlechten" Bewertungen zum Essen. Alle unsere Gerichte mit Vor/Haupt/Nachspeise waren sehr gut. Preislich für das Gebotene absolut ok - lediglich die Flaschenweine sind etwas ambitioniert bepreist.

Ein sehr gemütliches Lokal, das gleichzeitig ein Krämerladen ist. Wir haben ausgezeichnet gegessen, der Service war sehr freundlich, der Wein gut, es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Guter Onlineshop für Mariage Freres Produkte!

Dir Nudeln aus dem Parmesanleib waren ein Fest! Lediglich die Preise für die Getränke sind ordentlich.

Sehr gemütlich. Zwischen Feinkost und Lokal.

Wir haben das Lokal über die „Eat the World“ Lehel Führung kennengelernt - alles sehr überzeugend. Kommen sicher bald wieder!

Lasagne leider kalt, erst nach Nachfrage wurde sie lauwarm aufgewärmt. Geschmacklich in Ordnung aber nicht top. Service nicht aufmerksam, wir mussten mit Händen und Füßen winken bis in fast leeren Restaurant jemand kam. Waren letztes Jahr hier und hatten ein tolles Erlebnis, diesmal leider nicht. Schade eigentlich.

I've been twice but only for some cocktails.The service is just ok. The atmosphere is beautiful and chic. Wonderful to zip on your wine and watching the people pass by. Great location in the heart of Lehel.

Sehr gutes Sommer- Menü. Der Service sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Nice Place, prices aligned with Lehel, but the service was not okay, what a pity.

Die Tische stehen ziemlich eng zusammen. Essen (Essklasse) war sehr gut, der Service ausgezeichnet. Die Weine waren ok bis gut. Lage direkt am U-Bahnausgang super.

Wirklich einen tollen Abend gehabt. Der Service und das tolle Menü hat mich zu 100 Prozent überzeugt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder:) 👏

schlechteste Essklasse seit Jahren: wurden mit 5 Personen an einen Vierertisch gesetzt. Das ganze Essen ging über 4 h; beim sogenannten weißen Tomatenschaumsüppchen fehlte sowohl der Geschmack von Tomaten noch Schaum vorhanden. Die Krönung waren dann die Tournedos, die als Roulade serviert wurden und sehr trocken waren, ferner war beim Gemüse lediglich ein Streifen Zucchini auf dem Teller. Die vorgebrachte Kritik wurde in keinster Weise angenommen

Im Grunde würde ich gerne 5 Sterne vergeben, aber aufgrund des nur max. handwarmen Cappuccino‘s gibt es von mir eben nur 3 Sterne. Und selbst diese 3 wohlwollende Sterne gibt es nur weil die Mitarbeiterin den bestellten Cappuccino, auf meine Reklamation hin, stornierte. Vielleicht klappt es bei einem zukünftigen Besuch mit den 4 oder 5 Sternen.

Sehr leckeres Essen und überaus freundliche Bedienung. Ist einen Besuch absolut wert

Very sophisticated joint. Everything par-excellence?

Been here several times for lunch. Place is small but service is very slow. Food is very average. Would not go again

schönes Ambiente, könnte aber noch eine vielfältigere Karte haben

Hier wird so gut gekocht, dass ich selbst keine Idee habe, wie ich es auch nur ähnlich hinbekommen könnte. Die Preise sind gehoben (zu zweit mit 3 Gängen Apperitiv und Wein 160 €), das Essen ist hervorragend, die Lage ist super, nur ein paar Klenigkeiten passen dann nicht so recht. Beispiel: Die Tischplatten (draussen) aus rotem Marmor sind schon recht angeschlagen, der Abstand zum Nachbartisch sorgt fast für Tuchfühlung. Für das Brot zum Essen werden 2 € extra berechnet, OK. Es wird unaufgefordert schon mal gebracht und danach auch weiter neues eifrig angedient als das erste leer war. Wegen 2 € pro Körbchen incl. Butter? Im Ernst? Das erste Körbchen ließe sich locker mit rein kalkulieren und man würde ungestört das Essen genießen. der Service hat zum Teil mehr gemenschelt, als seriös perfekt alles abzuwickeln. Mein Tip: sehen Sie über kleine Ungereimtheiten hinweg und genießen Sie eine fast perfekte Zeit in schöner Umgebung und sehr angenehmem Publikum mit sehr gutem Essen. Der Abend hat jedenfalls als echte quality time, meinem Inneren nachhaltig gut getan.

Das Hauptgericht war okay, der Nachtisch war super klein und überteuert und die Kellnerinnen waren nicht so freundlich für ein so teures Restaurant…Mit Sicherheit nie wieder…

Kleine, aber sehr leckere Karte. Die Menüs mit Weinbegleitung sind sehr empfehlenswert. Abwechslungsreiche Weinkarte. Drinnen sehr gemütlich. Draußen Lehel Atmosphäre genießen beim Aperitif. Service sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich, persönlich. Angemessenes Preis-Leistungs-Verhãltnis. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super Service, Ambiente unvergleichlich, Menü fein abgestimmt mit passenden Weinen, ein runder Abend

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre, gutes Essen, freundliches Personal....was will man mehr 👍

Tolles Essen sehr guter Wein und nette Bedienung

Es war wieder ein perfekter Abend

10 jähriges mit meiner Freundin, ein besseres Restaurant hätten wir uns nicht wünschen können. Ein einzigartiges Lokal, wie man heute sagt "vintage" mit Stil, Geschmack, Geschichte und vor allem Seele im schönsten Herz von Lehel. Es war unser erstes Mal dort. Service war super aufmerksam aber immer sehr diskret. Die Karte ist klein, was eigentlich sehr positiv ist. Wir haben Gas gegeben: Vorspeise, Hauptspeise, Desserts & Wein. Alles vom feinsten. Die Zeit verging sehr schnell in diesem wunderbaren warmen und gastfreundlichen Ambiente. Schade war schon um 22 Uhr wegen Corona-Regeln das Lokal verlassen zu müssen. Wir freuen uns aufs nächste Mal vor allem im Sommer draußen auf der St. Anna Platz.

Mein Lieblingslokal ... hervorragendes Essen.Personal sehr gut

Location is great, there is possibility to both sit indoor and outdoor, staffs are well-tempered and friendly, I’ve just been there once for drink but definitely vome back for having meal there. Indoor is cosy and well-decorated. The prices are costly but it seems that it is worth to try. I’ll absolutely share my meal’s experience.

Alle Gäste sind gleich aber einige Gäste sind gleicher. Als ich vor Ort den reservierten Tisch ansprach, wurde ich kurz darauf auf die heute üblichen Dokumente angesprochen. So ist das heute... Allerdings war das bei meiner Begleitung und einigen anderen Gästen, die später kamen nicht der Fall gewesen. Mir wurde zuerst ein guter Tisch zugewiesen, der mir kurz darauf wieder entzogen wurde und ich musste direkt an der Eingangstür sitzen. Angeblich war der bessere Tisch schon reserviert - für eine Dame mit Hund, die nicht an der Tür sitzen wollte... soso... Im Verlauf der nächsten 1,5 Stunden blieb dieser bessere Tisch allerdings frei und zwar solange bis wir letztendlich das Lokal verließen. Ansonsten guter Service und gutes Essen.

Wir waren jetzt auch nicht so happy. Haben draußen gesessen und die Bedienung hat ewig gebraucht ... für alles. Gläser waren auch angeschlagen ... für gehobene französische Küche haben wir uns mehr erwartet!
