La Favela Restaurant in München

Awesome Food, Ambient and Staff!

Great restaurant to visit! You would love the food. Cheers 🍻

Food is amazing, just perfect. Service is hit and miss, but mostly good. Will definitely be back.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this place wasn't just "hip", but the food was actually great and authentic! The staff wasn't even two German yuppies who had a fun idea. Full recommendation, jokes aside!

Fun place, something different. Staff nice, but you have to constantly make your presence known to place an order. The food was disappointing. We had 2 starters. The lime chicken pieces were chopped so small that there were more bones than meat. The fish bites, on the other hand, were very tasty. The main course, Carne del Sol, was good, but so uncluttered, less so than the starters. Afterwards we went to the fridge because we were really hungry. 50€ is a real rip-off! But you could have gone for a good meal somewhere else and not stayed hungry. It's a shame, it was an attempt, but not a repeat!

Außergewöhnliche Gaststätte in einem ausrangierten Münchner U-Bahn-Waggon, der über und über mit Graffity bedeckt auf dem Bahnwärter Thiel Gelände steht. In der immer perfekter durchgestylt anmutenden Münchner Gastro-Szene mal ein wohltuender Kontrast an Improvisation und Pragmatismus. So ist hier schon der Name Programm. Steht doch Favela in Brasilien nicht gerade für die besseren Wohngegenden. Insgesamt ein sehr passender Rahmen für eine brasilanisch/südamerikanische Küche, die nach unserer Meinung recht authentisch rüber kommt. Ob angebratenes Dörrfleisch mit Gemüse oder die Eintöpfe. Beilagen wie Maniok-Pommes oder Schwarze Bohnen. Alle Gerichte und Beilagen waren sehr schmackhaft (und preislich absolut in Ordnung). Und der aufmerksame Service tut sein übriges, sich fest vorzunehmen bald wieder zu kommen. Klare Empfehlung!

Loved the vibe and the food. Super authentic Brazilian, made me feel at home.

Great atmosphere. Good food, but tiny portions.

Wonderful food and equally great service! A little piece of home (Brazil) that gives us a feeling of home. The caipirinha is simply fantastic. I'll definitely be back!😊

Definitely order the All you Can Eat on a Thursday... that was awesome and you get served small tapas and immerse yourself in Brazilian cuisine 💪🏻👋🏻

Tolle Stimmung, gutes Essen, exzellente Cocktails (vor allem der Caipirinha mit Zimt-Rum). Wahnsinnig laut allerdings.

Great alternative place to visit. Cool, hipster vibes, with some simple, tasty dishes, great caipirinhas and an amazing dessert trio to end with… all inside a converted train car. Live music was great on the Sunday evening. We were lucky to get a table for 4 - 6 wouldn’t have squeezed in without a booking inside - but lots of tables outside (a little chilly in the autumn!).

Mega ambience in an old subway car. Delicious food and had very good and incredibly friendly service with Manuel! Absolute recommendation and we will definitely come back.

Flawless ! Everything was perfect ! Ammaaazing food, honestly, amazing ! Make sure to ask for the hot sauce !!! The cheese balls and chicken balls were perfect! We had like a meat casserole (Auflauf) which was great and very veryyyy friendly staff. ! Probably, one of the best Restaurants in Munich!

Coxinha & quibe, Picanha & Escondidinho de carne and mate👍🏼👍🏼

I think I only liked the atmosphere. The waiter asked for the bill while we were eating, that was really awkward... They were really not good at service. We ordered the picanha but the meat was not so tender and juicy... I think there are definitely better options out there in the city for the Brazilian cuisine. Just pay €5 more, and you will be dined way better than here...

Top and really good restaurant.

Unique ambience combined with authentic Brazilian cuisine. I can only recommend it!

If you are in Munich and miss Brazil, La Favela is your option! Nice atmosphere and good food, as well as the friendliness of Daniel and his team! Top-notch feijoada and caipirinha! My German friends and I loved it!

I went there for the first time yesterday to take my German boyfriend to eat Brazilian food and I was surprised, good food, super attentive waiter, top experience!! Super leckeres Essen! Caipirinha echt super!!

We didn't find it that tasty, not very spicy, small portion, pricy. It's a shame that you can't look out from the inside, you only see the sprayed windows.

Food was very tasty. I visited the restaurant with 3 Brazilians and everyone really enjoyed the authentic food. The only drawback was the cold rooms (10°C outside temperature). In the colder seasons it is better to pack a sweater. The rustic atmosphere fits the name. We still felt very comfortable.

Mega insider tip! Very tasty fresh food, very cool idea in a subway

Thank you guys, delicious food, the best caipirinha and super friendly service! It was a great experience! Also our Brazilian friend was convinced about the food. I can just recommend to go there! Das Essen war großartig, der Caipirinha der Beste den ich bisher probiert hab und der Service freundlich! Very good, keep it up! Keep going! 😊👍🏻🌻

Cool vibe, cool location, typical Brazilian food. Unfortunately for what you get it's a little bit pricey. But it's great for a little snack and drinking a few beers with your girlfriend. Really nice place and very friendly service. And the 5 of us spontaneously got a place on a Friday evening.

I ordered the picanha and it came with one and a half pieces, but photos always show 3 pieces. So the photos can deceive you. But the food is really good and fresh. With the exception of the kitchen that has corn and olives, it frankly doesn't make sense

We had a lovely evening at favela restaurant. Original flavours, very reasonable prices, friendly staff and cool setting. Would definitely recommend!

Very pleasant atmosphere. Service somewhat slow. The portions were very small, which surprised me, as they looked well served in the photos... Coxinha had olives and corn, which unfortunately ends up taking all the taste of the coxinha's filling. The picanha meat was very good. Caipirinha was very good.

Great place! Great spot to have a nice lunch. And very nice and welcoming staff.

There at 4 p.m., Coxinha and kibe only got around 1720, And then cold too What a shame!! O dono esta perdendo dinheiro, mau organizations.

Incredibly good feijoada, good music and good ambience

Very good caipirinha and feijoada. Top Caipirinha and Feijoada.

The place is cool, just classic hipsterism. But seriously, people: waiting 50 minutes for fries and cheese balls and then being told these prices is just completely confusing. If the things were at least tasty then - okay. But unfortunately none, only the dip was tasty. If you just want a drink, it's definitely nice, they'll give it to you right away. But when it comes to service, it's just way too little

I loved it! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is nice and the staff are very friendly. I recommend it, without a doubt, to anyone who is visiting Munich and wants to satisfy their longing for Brazilian food. I just couldn't give it 5 stars because it was impossible to contact the restaurant before going to get information about reservations and payment methods, but I went and everything went fine.

Great restaurant inside an abandoned Ubahn wagon. The Brazilian food was very good. I highly recommend going there and trying their traditional dishes, especially the Picanha.

Excellent food, very fair prices for the good quality! Super nice service! The Caipirinha tastes as good as in Brazil! 100% recommendation!

Everything perfect. Great location, food and staff. Highly recommended.

For those who want to satisfy their longing for Brazilian food, this is a great option. The only downside is that the service is a bit clumsy and slow, but the food is worth the wait. ☺️

It was very delicious! I enjoyed every bite of it! Just one star less because of the price. But it is Munich…

Very interesting Place, With great Brazilian, hors d’oeuvres and food. Very legit. Their appetizers which are very popular in Brazil tasted fantastic and were just like the originals. They have all the classic dishes that you get in Brazil (pretty much the classic). the staff are for the most part Brazilian or very closely related to Brazil so the warmness and friendliness and serving is natural. If you have never been to Brazil and want to get a little taste of it, this is a good place to start.

Totally cool location, very friendly staff, great atmosphere.. Some of the food was delicious, the meat was a bit dry, maybe a sauce or dip with it then it would be great. Can be recommended. You must have seen that

Food great, staff very welcoming and everything very authentic!!! We love it very much. Feels like home. Definitely a piece of Brazil in the middle of Munich. Our regular local from now on!!!!

On the advice of a friend, I opened here and after a few wrong turns I found the entrance. I didn't know the area of ​​​​the "Bahnwacht Thiel" before and was amazed. The restaurant itself is housed in an old subway car, also has a beer garden in front of it and is clearly marked in graffiti style (see photo). The restaurant is run by a Brazilian woman and her daughter, and the menu is correspondingly authentic - I only recognized “Paulaner Spezi” and that was enough for me as a sign of quality. 😅 I visited the restaurant with an exiled Brazilian, so I didn't have to guess for long and relied on his recommendation. FANTASTIC! I had jerky with cassava root chips and loved it. The audience is very mixed, rather younger, students, Brazilians and Portuguese who have chosen Munich as their new home, a few free spirits and a few who didn't know where to go, it was a relaxed, relaxed atmosphere. Important - be sure to reserve a table! There aren't many tables. One drawback should be mentioned - the toilet facilities, well, need to be overcome. In the dark, however, you can see them very well.

A must go in Munich! I was visiting Munich and googled Brazilian or Argentinian restaurants as I was looking for a nice meat restaurant and came across La Favela and went all over for it! Amazing and original facilities and the Picanha and Feijão Preto were amazing! I will definitely go back when I’m in Munich.

Brazilian atmosphere, good music, great service, great food, it tastes like real Brazilian food, feels like home!

Very nice interior. Food took a bit long, and after 40 minutes waiting I had to leave, so unfortunately I had to cancel my order. I had just order a starter dish. All well and good, but then immediately the waiter starts talking behind my back to other customers complaining that I think this is a McDonald’s or something in German so I couldn’t understand. Unnecessary and a bit uncomfortable in my view..

a good place to meet friends, especially on live music days.

I've almost chonked my way through the entire menu here and there's nothing I couldn't recommend. From the starter to the dessert, everything is delicious. And first the long drinks! You're already getting full marks even though the Brazilian lemonade isn't on the menu yet - but it will be soon! Thanks for the drinks and see you next time!

Super leckeres Essen vegi oder mit Fleisch, kleine Gerichte, Hauptspeisen und Desserts! Cooles Ambiente mit netter Bedienung 😀

Wonderful food, with a taste of Brazil

Amazing food that really tasted like Brazil and best Caipirinhas I've had in Europe!

Brazilian cuisine in a location that evokes one of the famous areas of Brazil It was a unique experience. particular and tasty. Super good appetizers and picanhas. Try it! Just a tip: put less salt on the picanha because I felt the pieces of coarse salt. I was given less rice, while the others had much more. For the rest everything is perfect. It was exciting to eat inside the bus. Total €56

Cucina Brasiliana in una location che rievoca una delle famose zone del Brasile E stata un' esperienza unica, particolare e gustosa. Antipasti e picanha super buoni. Provatelo! Solo un consiglio: mettete meno sale sulla picanha perché ho sentito i pezzi di sale grosso A me è stato dato meno riso, mentre agli altri avevano porzioni abbondanti. Per il resto è tutto perfetto. È stato emozionante mangiare all' interno del pullman. Totale: €56

Sehr sehr gutes Essen! Alles hat super geschmeckt! Außergewöhnliches Ambiente und tolle Musik. Sehr empfehlenswert! Kommen gerne wieder.

Unprofessional! We called them to reserve, they told us that after 8 o'clock they did not make reservations but we could go when a table became available. We went, they told us to wait outside that a table would be available soon, we waited 1 hour and a half and nothing. They could have told us the truth from the beginning!

The ambience of everything around it leaves you amazed. The dishes were a bit small, but very, very tasty! Unfortunately the waitresses were a bit hectic and confused, but everything was okay.🙏🏼💞

Get a place at short notice without a reservation. My second time ever eating Brazilian food. And it was a completely new culinary experience. Delicious. Heavily roasted meat. And the ambience in the carriage is something completely different. I can only recommend.

Incredible food, especially delicious dessert with a weekend taste at Casa da Melhor Amiga, Incredibly decorated atmosphere, it killed my longing for Brazil

Service is not good. Orders are mixed up, lost and you wait 30 minutes even for drinks.

Simply Brazil, the attendant is super attentive 🥰

The feijoada was very tasty. We were disappointed with the Caipirinhas that we know from Brazil: with good cachaça, white sugar, ice and fruit. Here they simply poured juice with alcohol and large ice cubes into the glass. It's a shame, because a Caipirinha Maracuja is so delicious and you can't get it anywhere else in Germany. That's why we were so looking forward to it and were unfortunately disappointed.

Wunderbar! Simple, seasoned and tasty food. Portions serve two people. The desserts are delicious. I will come back as often as possible ☺️

To start: this is an opinion for a Brazilian living in Munich. Super nice people… Brazilian staff (at least part of it), very nice and quick. This first time we just went for snacks.. Mandioca Frita and a plate of Salgadinhos. Both were super nice and fresh. Very crispy in the outside, super tasty… perfectly done! We are definetely coming back for a full meal!

This location is exactly as the name suggests. Sitting in a tram car to eat and drink (Top Caipirinha with Cachaca Umburana😉) is something different. Not everyone will like it, but as an expert on Brazil I found it very interesting and original. Gladly again.

As a Brazilian I loved the quality and authenticity they have there. The Feijoada / Picanha and Caipirinha are a must. I’ll be there again soon.

Fantastisches, authentisches Essen 😍 Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, sehr freundliche Bedienung. Gerne kommen wir wieder 🙏

A very interesting restaurant that I have never seen before. I actually think the idea of ​​turning an old wagon into a restaurant is very nice. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky in that we sat right at the entrance/passage, so the aisle seats were a bit cramped, especially when the waiters or new guests came or had to pass by. There was a good selection of Brazilian dishes. Since I have never eaten anything from this kitchen myself, I was very excited about it. I chose a dish from the daily menu and was definitely not disappointed. The meat was very tender and everything was seasoned perfectly. The “farofa” with plantains in particular was a highlight. In fact, it is offered with many dishes. The dessert (chocolate mousse) was also very tasty. The main courses came very quickly, but unfortunately we had to wait a little long for the desserts. The service staff were also very friendly. The only negative point for me is the price. The main course was a bit overpriced for the quantity. But the taste, ambience and service were great.

Unconventional restaurant in a disused subway carriage in an exciting environment. Unfortunately, in winter the cold wind whistles through the leaky doors, making it difficult for the fiery stove to reach it. All courses on the small menu are quite good in terms of quality and taste (for example starter Salgados, main course Escondidinho, dessert Pudim de Leite), only the meat skewers are disappointingly tough.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and a nice cozy atmosphere. ;) I'm happy to recommend it, I'll be back!

A gem in Munich, a funky place in an old metro wagon, very cosy, fantastic cocktails and the food was amazing. If you ever want to try something special, this is your place:).

I was excited about the idea of ​​converting a subway car into a restaurant. There aren't enough unusual places like this in Munich and I want to support that. 5 stars for originality. But more could have been done with the space. In my opinion, the food was too expensive for what you got. Service was nice, but felt more like a leisure activity. Sorry. Overall a unique experience. But all is not well yet. Price-performance is not yet right - the subway car is not enough to compensate for the weaknesses. But three stars would be too mean. I wish the owners much success but they should still work a little on the icing on the cake.

As a Brazilian, I have to say the food here was delicious. The restaurant has a very special vibe with really friendly staff.

A super nice, small restaurant in an old Munich S-Bahn car. Despite having a reservation, we had to share a table. Unfortunately, the cloakroom is right next to the door, stealing the jackets wouldn't be a problem at all, nobody would notice. The live music was nice, a really great singer. But unfortunately much, much too loud for me. His voice would have flooded the tiny car even without a loudspeaker. I couldn't have a conversation or enjoy my food and beer. The chicken is the first thing I left aside, although fried chicken is my favorite dish and I know all of its variations. It was just rancid and tasted like old fish smells. Beer was served from a bottle, everyone else got a glass. (It was a first for me, bottled beer in the restaurant) The food is really expensive and the portions are small. You can also eat at a star chef instead. Starter 10-16, main course between 20 and 35 euros. Giving 3 stars would be too mean given the effort, the location and the fact that the cook cooks in the driver's cab of the wagon (probably 3 m²) :).

Very tasty food, I would love to come back :)

Soooo schön! Unbedingt ausprobieren !

Authentisches brasilianisches Essen

Super nett, super Essen, was eine Überraschung – und mal was ganz anderes!

My husband (who is Brazilian) and I came here. The vibe is relaxed and unique inside an underground train. The food like the feijoada is pretty good and close to what you get in Brazil. I think when we went they weren't serving alcohol. It's definitely not a place you go with a large group or a place you can get really comfortable and hang out in.

In un quartiere alternativo della città è possibile trovare questo treno abbandonato riconvertito a ristorante brasiliano. Ottima qualità a prezzi onesti.

Was für eine tolle Erfahrung! Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Inmitten von vielen südamerikanischen Gästen haben wir ein paar sehr kurzweilige Stunden erlebt. Tolle Stimmung, mit Live Musik. Immer gerne wieder.

Gute Küche und aufmerksamer Service. Wir hatte Käsebällchen bestellt - die waren etwas verbrannt. Das hat die Kellnerin gesehen und neue gebracht!

Das Essen Recht gut, der Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Aufenthalt war leider sehr kalt, nur ein kleiner Heizlüfter.

Positiv: Außergewöhnliche Location - sowas kennt man normalerweise nur aus Berlin Sehr freundliche Bedienung Sehr nettes, angenehmes cliente Das Essen ist phänomenal - sowohl die Vorspeise, als auch die Hauptspeise waren qualitativ und geschmacklich hervorragend Zu empfehlen sind definitiv die Käsebällchen vorweg und das Steak als Hauptspeise Reservierung hat problemlos geklappt Negativ: Wenn man es nicht kennt, dauert es etwas, bis man es findet Als wir angekommen sind dauerte es rund 10 Minuten bis wir die Karten bekommen haben und weitere 15 Minuten bis die Vorspeise kam - jedoch muss man dazu sagen, dass die Bedienung sich mehrfach entschuldigt hat und es auch wirklich extrem voll war Fazit: Eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir werden wieder kommen :)

Top food and very nice atmosphere

Es la segunda vez que vengo y espero seguir viniendo cada vez que vuelva a München La atención es muy amable, el ambiente muy agradable y la comida es fantástica. Es difícil encontrar un restaurante 5/5 y este es uno de ellos. Enhorabuena

Essen super, Service sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Ambiente mal was anderes, aber interessant. Man sollte aber vorher zu Hause auf die Toilette gehen, denn das ist dort nicht zu empfehlen, wirklich sehr schade

What can I say - felt like home. Took me a lot of tries to find an authentic Brazilian restaurant. Nothing fancy, just good and tasty. If you like feijoada and picanha, give it a try!

Der Bahnwagon als Restaurant ist ausgefallen und sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man ein paar Bier trinken will. Die Preise für das Essen sind übertrieben und die Portionen sehr klein. Das Essen schmeckt okay. Weder besonders gut, noch besonders schlecht. Daher meine klare Empfehlung wo anders etwas zu Essen und dann auf ein paar Drinks in den Wagon zu gehen.

Dank an Paula und ihr Team für das leckere Essen und das tolle Ambiente.

Super leckeres und frisches Essen, sehr freundlicher und schneller Service. Und sehr coole brasilianische Stimmung im Bahnwaggon. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.

Ich finde das Restaurant schön, aber die Toilette ist schmutzig. Atmosphere ist nicht gut

Wir waren am Freitag Abend hier und es wurde relativ schnell voll. Also würde ich empfehlen vorher zu reservieren. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Portionen gut jedoch nicht ganz günstig. Der Service war sehr freundlich wirkte jedoch etwas überfordert.

Alles selbstgemacht. Brasilianische Küche im alten S-Bahnwaggon gekocht. Sehr außergewöhnlich. Kachelofen beheizt. UNBEDINGT reservieren.

I ordered the Picanha and the Salgados Fritos and everything was SUPER yum. Very very good quality and very cool place. 100% recommend!

Querido Time , muito obrigada por eu ter podido comemorar meu aniversário com vcs ontem !!! Vcs são profissionais atenciosos , competentes , e um time muito entrosado . A comida foi maravilhosa e minha família ficou encantada. Foi uma noite incrível e indicaremos com certeza!! Obrigada 🙏🏾

A wonderful place for tourists looking for something different, in the old slaughterhouse of Munich.

Das Essen war super lecker. Das Ambiente auch sehr schön gestaltet. Die Kellner geben sich viel Mühe. Würde wieder kommen

A picanha lá é sempre uma delícia, super recomendo!! 😋

Essen ist okay, leider sehr lange Wartezeiten und sehr hohe Preise für kleine Portionen und Selbstbedienung

A comida deixa a desejar na quantidade,peguei um prato com picanha,o tamanho do filé ok,o resto, pouco,se vai com fome não enche não.
