Gaststätte "Zum Brünnstein" in München

A definite recommendation! A rustic and cozy atmosphere; it wasn't too crowded even on a Saturday night. The service is very friendly, and the food is fantastic. We had various soups, spaetzle, schnitzel, goulash, and sausages, and everything was outstanding. The Kaiserschmarrn was my personal highlight. I find that many restaurants only make it so-so, but here it's absolutely perfect. You can tell that this restaurant truly understands traditional Bavarian cuisine. I'd be happy to come back anytime!

So if you're dismissed with a blatant insult (just because you can't fit in the bare minimum 5% tip), I can only recommend that you pay attention. Never again.

Authentic Bavarian restaurant offering a variety of local very tasty food. Good service and friendly staff.

It doesn't get more Bavarian than this. If you want truly Bavarian home cooking and excellent beer, you've come to the right place. Yes, the decor was a bit old-fashioned, but that's exactly the atmosphere you'd expect here in Haidhausen, in this Bavarian restaurant with its very friendly atmosphere and simply a tranquility that prevails in Bavaria—the coziness, the Bavarian Gemütlichkeit. I ate the set menu with the pork knuckle and could barely finish it. Simply a wonderful combination of food and also wonderfully seasoned, and that's exactly how it should be. The wheat beer on tap was very, very good, and I'll definitely be back whenever I come to Munich. So, I highly recommend it for a very simple home cooking cup here in Munich.

We were there on a sunny day and sat outside; the atmosphere was very pleasant and inviting. The service was truly excellent: the staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and warm, without being intrusive. We ordered the roast pork, which not only tasted amazing but was also served in a really generous portion. A particularly positive aspect was that instead of the side salad—which we didn't want—we were simply given a second small dumpling. It's a small gesture, but it shows that customer requests are taken seriously and flexibility is a given. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit with great food, friendly staff, and a pleasant outdoor atmosphere. We'd love to come back!

Highly recommended Bavarian restaurant with reasonable prices.

Great traditional Munich restaurant and bar, minutes walk from the Ost Banhoff. Delicious food, the Schnitzel was perfect with fried potatoe, with a great menu selection at reasonable prices. Beer was perfect (it is Munich!) and reasonable. Recommended A++, would return for more.

My girlfriend and I went there for dinner. The food and drinks were good to very good. The service was quick and pleasant. I'd love to go back!

Sunday evening, hungry, we happened upon this. A truly quaint inn. When we arrived, only one table was occupied by one person. So, just to be on the safe side, we asked if we could get something to eat. The landlady was super nice, and as the evening progressed, not only did the inn fill up, but we also discovered that there was a terrace somewhere behind the building, which was obviously full :) The menu is huge; everyone is sure to find something here. There's a separate children's menu and also dishes for those with a very small appetite (ham and cheese toasties, sandwiches, etc.). We had a really good meal (roast beef with onions, salad with schnitzel strips and mushrooms, a children's plate with Vienna sausages) and felt very comfortable here. The restrooms are brand new and very clean. The clientele was very diverse: people from the neighborhood, tourists from all over the world. The menu is also available in several languages. When we are back in Munich, we will be happy to come back.

Rustic Bavarian cuisine. Delicious food for those with a big appetite.

Best salad + Best Viennese schnitzel.

We went there several times after night school during our time at the HWK (Chamber of Crafts), and the food was always very good. Service was attentive and friendly, even when we wanted to eat spontaneously with six people without a reservation. Highly recommended.

Super good food at reasonable prices

The food was wonderful, excellent waitress.

The food was really incomparably good but it was very upsetting that the waiter brought a hair in my salad... Of course, the salad was replaced but it was already a bit unpleasant feeling afterwards. The café is quite noisy and the seats are very hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise, I highly recommend this place to visit for a good traditional german dinner, the only thing is - check if there is no hair in your food 🤣

I really enjoyed the restaurant, thank you very much to all the staff!

Really nice owners, I always enjoy coming here! 5 well-deserved stars ;)

Discovered this place several years ago when walking to my hotel from the München Ost. Every trip to Munich since, I’ve stayed close by so I get at least one dinner here. Fantastic food, rustic ambience and fair prices.

They provided us a table for 1 hour even while they were actually fully booked. We had a quick typical German style dinner with Schnitzels, baked potato and salad. Very quick service and decent food.

I was a regular customer for decades until my retirement in 2015 (I worked nearby). Today (2025) I returned for the first time and was immediately more than satisfied. I had a set menu from the daily specials. Liver dumpling soup as a starter, chicken schnitzel with potato salad as a main course, and chocolate mousse with whipped cream for dessert. Very good, inexpensive food, served by attentive and very friendly staff. Good food, fair prices, and great service—what more could you want?

Cozy, Bavarian, great down-to-earth food, good beer!

Classic Munich restaurant. I've known it for 40 years. Always good.

Great Bavarian restaurant. The atmosphere, service and food are excellent, I recommend it, I will definitely visit it during my next visit

Good classic Bavarian cuisine, delicious beer, fast, attentive service

A very popular restaurant. Reservations are recommended. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was good and plentiful. Highly recommended.

A Bavarian restaurant, just like we enjoy it. The food is delicious. The asparagus menu is highly recommended. Now, the service. We received friendly service. When I wanted to pay by card, the waitress came to our table with the bill, shouted the bill amount loudly across the table, and then asked if the amount should stay the same, naturally at a volume that at least the neighboring tables could hear. This behavior is demanding and rude.

The food had low quality and it was very oily and smelly. The pork really stinks. However the waiters were so nice and offered us a free ice cream instead.

Super great food. We were really excited. The service was also very good. We would love to come back 🙂

If u like meet this is your place. The axe is biiiig. Will be back

I can only warmly recommend him. Rarely have we experienced such nice, friendly, fast service. The food was excellent and tasted wonderful

-Very friendly staff -Delicious food and a new daily menu every day -even when the restaurant is full, the staff tries to organize a table -We ate at this restaurant five out of seven days -Hot food until 10.30 p.m

Very nice staff and delicious food with a good price/performance ratio. We ate twice within a few days and were very satisfied.

Bavarian economy. Sheepshead allowed

I ate (proper) asparagus for the first time today and was absolutely picked up! Thank you very much!

The pub has a nice atmosphere and stylish interior, but the service was surprisingly indifferent. Despite the restaurant being half empty, it took quite some effort to get our first beer. After that, we sat for a while with empty glasses and eventually gave up on ordering another round. A bit more attention from the staff would really improve the experience.

A real pub, exactly as it should be, friendly staff and good quality, authentic menu and good beer and wine, please keep it up.

It is clear that most diners are tourists or business travelers. The menu is excessive and the dishes are numbered. Never a good sign. The staff is friendly but our food did not come at the same time. The food is mediocre and a bit greasy. My recommendation is to reduce the menu and focus on quality versus quantity. I would not go back.

This is how you imagine a restaurant in Munich. AUTHENTIC, Bavarian 100%. Food super tasty. large portions. Friendly service.

A must if you are in the area of the Munich Ostbanhof.

Beautifully classically furnished Bavarian inn with good beer from Altomünster! The service is nice - but we had to... a. Have been waiting quite a long time at the Obatzter. So far but so good. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my venison schnitzel - all in all it had very little taste. Generally there is a lack of salt - that's ok. Anyone can add more salt themselves, but my dish was generally completely rubbish. The others thought the food was okay. Not outstanding but solidly good. Hence 3 stars. Mine wouldn't be worth it... But maybe sometimes and with some other dishes you have better luck...

Nice German restaurant. Good schnitzel, fast service, great beer.

Typical Bavarian restaurant. Good beer, good food and Fast and friendly service!

I had a veal schnitzel and apfelstrudle. The taste was amazing. My hotel was nearby so I am happy that I’ve found this place. It was quite crowded, so if you are going in a group during a rush hour, I recommend that you reserve a table otherwise you might not find a seat. The menu is classic German, the taste is beyond my expectations. I was solo, so a family was nice enough to share their table with me. The atmosphere was lively. Service was excellent, the staff knew english and they had an english menu as well. The portions are very big so be mindful :) I was completely stuffed for a whole day after my meal. But next time I’m in Munich I will definitely come back.

Very variable quality. Down-to-earth Bavarian cuisine. It used to be really cheap, but is now too expensive for what is on offer.

Beautiful, quaint restaurant, super nice service, who made it possible for us to get 5 seats on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. The food was very tasty and the beer was tasty! Finally, the boss came and said goodbye to us. That's how hospitality works! 1000 thanks from Hamburg to Munich. We'd love to come back!

The atmosphere is non existing you have to yell to talk with your party. The waiters qre confused and have no idea what are they bringing. They bring food to Each person at different time. That lead to people getting wrong order, cause waitress had no idea what ahe is holding. Food was okay, goulash meat was a bit to cooked and dry, sauce was okay, no bread tough, no spoons.

Tenderloin beef steak was very chewy - had to be prepared better. Soup was good though.

Make sure to reserve a table. It is always packed.

During my visit to Zum Brünnstein, the restaurant was full, but the staff were incredibly hardworking, efficiently taking orders and delivering food despite the busy atmosphere. The atmosphere itself was very traditional, with cozy, rustic decor that perfectly captured the essence of Bavarian charm, making it feel like an authentic local dining experience. As for the food, the “Schnitzel Munich” was a standout. The portion was huge, and the schnitzel itself was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. It was more than enough to satisfy any hunger, making it a great choice for anyone with a hearty appetite. Paired with traditional sides, it offered a true taste of Bavarian cuisine. If you’re a fan of schnitzel, this is definitely a must-try!

Good Munich breakfast (white sausage, pretzel, and a wheat beer)

Yesterday we celebrated our 45th anniversary of meeting my husband. He brought me to this restaurant. We really liked it. Wiener veal schnitzel turned out to be tastier than in Vienna, we were there too and ate it. Thank you for the delicious food and excellent service, we waited very little time and they brought us food. The salad was excellent, the beer was amazing. Prices are affordable. Yesterday, we had a doubly happy day. Thanks again!!!

Good local cuisine, hearty portions, good prices for the city of Munich.

Super tasty turkey schnitzel, good dark beer, nice people in the service! 👍

Typical Bavarian inn with delicious food, fair prices and a rustic atmosphere. Friendly and very good service.

Really great food and typical Bavarian ambience. The portions were absolutely great for the price and the Kaiserschmarrn was also great. Only the service could have been slightly better :)

Great food, great atmosphere. Service is Bavarian rough, but friendly and fast. The food came to the table quickly and the freshly tapped beer also tasted good. The prices are a bit high to fair - it also depends on the location Gladly again

After a visit to the stadium, we asked at short notice whether we could come to dinner with around 25 people in the evening. Even though the place was pretty full, it worked. Price/performance ratio is okay. Service was very friendly.

Nice Bavarian restaurant with thankfully few frills and friendly service.

This is what a Munich economy should be like. Lots of locals, nice waitresses, delicious food in large portions with good beer. You should reserve a place as it is often completely full.

A wonderfully old-fashioned, traditional Bavarian restaurant with traditional cuisine in a rustic atmosphere. Here, the food is cooked well “just like in the old days” and served quickly and reliably. Coming back is a given!

Lovely traditional German food. All the main dishes I tried were great! The puddings were not quite so good. It gets quite busy on a Friday night though, so I would recommend booking if possible

Yesterday we had dinner at “Zum Brünnstein” for the first time and can only say full praise. Delicious food, reasonable prices, great ambience and, most importantly, super friendly and courteous service. It's nice to be served with a smile. One wonders why this is no longer possible at many other restaurants. Keep it up...we'll be happy to come back!

According to the internet, open until midnight. On a Thursday, the shutters are lowered at 10:40 p.m. - closing time.

Quaint restaurant, very clean and modern toilets. Unfortunately the food was mediocre and the price was too expensive. Service staff friendly, but very uncoordinated, rarely experienced such a mess.

Rustic, cozy and warm! We didn't have a reservation, but the friendly team organized a place for us. The service was hearty and attentive, the food came quickly and was really tasty. Paired with a great beer – that’s exactly how you imagine Bavarian hospitality to be. We'll definitely be back.

Typical Bavarian restaurant. Food tastes good 😌 The Kaiserschmarren is caramelized really well 🤩

Delicious, authentic Bavarian cuisine, reasonable prices. Fits!

Was here 2 years ago when visiting Munich, Came back again this year. Lots of people (locals i assume) at this place. They have am English menu and speak a bit of English, and food is good. The portions are large.

Typical Bavarian restaurant with a lot of regulars.

Probably the coziest and hottest restaurant in Munich!! 🤩😍

Really nice here, but a lot went wrong for us, so that the food didn't come to the table at the same time and in the end one of us had to eat after everyone else and then it wasn't the right thing. And since the dining room was packed, it was hardly possible to have a conversation. Certainly an exceptional case in this beautiful restaurant.

Great food and ambience. I'd love to come back.

The food was great! Rustic atmosphere. Very friendly service! Definitely recommended.

Whenever I come to Munich, I always come back to this place. Authentic German meals, less touristic place as only locals dine here and I love the waitresses diendle🇩🇪 which makes me feel that I’m in Germany. Great restaurant run by family!

For more than a decade I have been meeting a friend once a month in Brünnstein, as it is half the way away. What can you say; fair pricing for Munich standards, good food, weekly specials, good beer and a good atmosphere. Just like you would want a classic tavern. I like coming there and have never been disappointed. Kudos also to the service staff for always keeping an overview, even when the hut is completely full! I will definitely keep it as my “go-to” restaurant, even if I have to travel 35 km.

Great place , big menu with a wide variety of traditional Bavarian food . The beer is like nothing I’ve ever tasted and is amazing. Waiters speak English and also offer English menus. Worth a visit!

Excellent typical Bavarian dishes. Perfect beer. I recommend it

Love it, amazing service :), good German food

The food and drinks were very good, what was missing for my taste was some spice. When it comes to the side salad, the potato salad was a highlight. The whole thing isn't cheap but it's still OK. Reservations are recommended. I would recommend this inn.

Typical Bavarian cuisine with a corresponding ambience. Back here soon.

Nothing more and nothing less than a classic innkeeper.

Amazing traditional food, we spent 6 days in Bavaria and ate here 4 times as it was so good, great friendly staff and good service .. the meals are amazing.

Friendly service and fine food at reasonable prices. Was a guest here for the 3rd time. Cozy pub atmosphere. Celebrated my birthday there yesterday (8 people) and everyone liked and enjoyed it. I would recommend booking if there are more than 2 people so that you can be sure of getting a place. It's worth a visit, gladly again

Went for dinner today with 3 people. Unfortunately what can I say, the service was totally overwhelmed and waited 30 minutes for the drink. After another 20 minutes the food was ordered. Ale 3 meals were returned because they were either raw or simply tasted terribly bad. Not even the salad was good 🤷🏻‍♂️ We still had to pay the full amount. Never again, what a shame for the place.

The food was great, but on this Friday evening at the beginning of January the staff was overloaded and a bit overwhelmed, perhaps because it was very full and around 95% of all tables were occupied from 7 p.m. When it comes to beer, the dark one is more recommended for my taste.

Ambiance is getting old, just like the audience ;-). Food is delicious, especially the Kaiserschmarrn. Super clean toilets.

Very warm atmosphere and attentive service, and the food is delicious~~~

One of the few truly Bavarian restaurants in Munich without any tourist-chic frills! Everything just fits here.

Food is okay but not special, portions a bit small for good eaters. Potato dumplings taste like they were bought, pork loin is a bit tough and salad sometimes has no dressing. Service relatively slow and not attentive.

Very beautiful traditional restaurant, the dishes are delicious, the price is reasonable, the atmosphere is great, the traditional decoration is magnificent. The service was very good, we only saw one server but he was everywhere at once. The Kaiserschmarrn was delicious and very filling, we couldn't finish it but the waiter gave us a doggybag. I recommend this restaurant!!!

Real Bavarian cuisine, very tasty, you need a bit of patience but it is rewarded

Food was great! The staffs are friendly, and made sure we are comfortable and attended to. The meat we ordered were tender and juicy. Overall recommended.

Long-established people, great atmosphere, very friendly, great atmosphere

Delicious food, very attentive service. Just a little busy because of Christmas time.

Everything was fine, deer was out, but we had deer goulash

Sorry I didn't finish... But my dogs are sacred to me 😅 The food tastes bomb. I'm happy to spend money on things like that.

Service good. Ambience good. Extremely few vegetarian dishes and they are extremely simple, for example spaetzle with sauce I didn't find any vegetarian dishes on the menu that was handed to me, but sausage dishes have their own category. I'm not a strict vegetarian, but that was really, really bad.

Really quaint and cozy restaurant

Well. They recommended it to me from Spain.

Very good German cuisine in a large open space, with good service.
