MALO in Stuttgart

No thanks! It's a real stress-out here! Saturday evening, the staff were completely overwhelmed, unfriendly, and we had to ask to eat together. My main course arrived earlier than my companion's starter. A burger with a cucumber and very dry meat, a shame. The restaurant is very nice, but there are other ways to feel at home. A compliment to the receptionist; the lady was extremely nice.

A very pleasant evening. Excellent service from Melisa and Chantal.

The ambiance is quite fancy, and we felt comfortable. The food was average and a bit too simple for the price. The service was attentive.

We were there with friends on July 26, 2025. Everything was good; the food and location were both decent. When paying by card, waiter Ivan Krajinovic wrote a tip of €21.40 himself, which I didn't tell him. I trusted him, and I have witnesses that I gave him a €5 tip in cash. The bill totaled €214.90. I checked my account at home, and that showed everything. I ask the management to monitor your waiters' fraudulent behavior.

Terrible service, unfriendly staff, food is ok but price-performance is not right at all

Nice restaurant with good food and friendly service. However, it's quite expensive.

The food and the ambiance were truly lovely, nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the evening was seriously marred by the service. An older gentleman on the staff was extremely pushy and repeatedly made inappropriate comments, even though we clearly ignored him. This was very unpleasant and ruined the atmosphere. We deliberately decided not to tip, whereupon he again made another remark, which we considered unprofessional. As I was leaving the restaurant, he also put his foot in my way. Whether this was intentional or not, I can't say, but it was definitely irritating. Overall, disappointing service, which unfortunately overshadowed the positive impression of the food and ambiance.

Great location, delicious food – but pushy service.” The food was of very good quality and delicious. Less positive: • One of the waiters was unfortunately extremely pushy. He made inappropriate come-on comments – which bothered us a lot. • In the end, we didn't want to tip because we felt uncomfortable – whereupon the waiter gave us a truly rude criticism. This seemed unprofessional and unfriendly.

I would prefer not to give it a star at all as the service was extremely rude and made us wait forever. The drinks were too expensive and tasted too watery. I can't recommend it to anyone!

I had an amazing experience! Everything was perfect — from the warm and attentive service to the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. You can really feel the attention to detail and passion in everything they do. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Generally speaking, MALO is a restaurant with a very nice ambiance. The food, however, was so-so. The value for money is completely out of the question. I've had better rump steak at a sports restaurant than this one at MALO. With sides, the portion here was over €45, which was completely overpriced for the quality. My wife had a burger, which was apparently quite good. Maybe I should have had that one, too. What really irritated me, though, was the toilet. What were you thinking, putting a toilet attendant in front of the toilet with a plate and a bucket? That's completely out of place here and cost you a star in terms of atmosphere. For my part, I won't be coming here anymore, because if I want to enjoy Michelin-starred cuisine, this is the wrong place.

Very good food and very friendly service. The ambiance is very nice.

"Very Instagrammable" probably sums it up best - the location is awesome and really has something special about it - the food and drinks look fantastic and taste really good, and the quality of the products is also absolutely top-notch - the service was fine on our two visits - super friendly and attentive, but at times we did wait a long time and had to fight for attention - the price is obviously on the higher end, but completely justified given the location - rent, furnishings, and living decorations all have to be financed somehow - ultimately, a clear recommendation for anyone who values appearance and style, but those who just want something good to eat can get it a bit cheaper elsewhere - but a truly special, chic shop

Very attentive service. The food tasted very good 🍔, the menu was small and freshly prepared. Thank you very much, it was a lovely evening.

Good food, great ambiance. Unfortunately, the service was abysmal. We sat in the lounge last night and had to wait 30 minutes for our drink orders to be taken. Especially at the price range in which Malo operates, customers expect excellent service.

Very friendly service and cozy environment.

It seemed like no one there really had a plan, and from a gastronomic perspective, it was a disaster. You could go there for Instagram photos, but if you want good food, you'd better go somewhere else.

We were there for the first time today and would give it 10 stars. The service was absolutely perfect—friendly, personable, and competent ☺️ The ambiance is super nice and harmonious, you immediately feel at home, and the food and drinks were simply delicious ☺️🥰 We were completely satisfied! Thank you 🙏

ALBIN, the best barkeeper ever!!!

The fish was cooked perfect, crispy skin, tender and flavorful. It was paired with purred peas topped with perfectly cooked vegetables. The waiter was friendly and the ambience was amazing.

Generally recommended. The only downside is the cappuccino...

Unfortunately, awesome! I can't say much more about the food. Top-notch. Service was also great, just a bit short of a 5-star rating. But otherwise, the atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!

Wonderful. Very tasty, quiet, and a great atmosphere!

MALO is truly beautifully decorated – stylish, well-thought-out, and full of atmosphere. That's exactly why we were so excited about our visit. Unfortunately, our enjoyment was somewhat dampened by the service. We had to wait over 20 minutes for the menus and drinks, and even afterward, the waiter was barely present. We had to get up several times to find someone so we could even order – we weren't allowed at the bar, as everything had to go through our table server. Particularly unpleasant: The waiter was not only extremely inattentive, but also physically aggressive in a way that was simply inappropriate in such a setting. He repeatedly touched our shoulders without any reason or familiarity – that was definitely a line crossed for us. When it started to rain and our window seat and some of our belongings got wet, it took far too long for the window to even close. Overall, we felt more like a nuisance than a welcome throughout the evening. The food itself was good to very good in terms of taste. The espresso martini at the end was unfortunately disappointing. For what we experienced overall, almost €150 simply wasn't justified. We didn't tip for the reasons mentioned above – which prompted a sharp remark from the waiter. Conclusion: The location and the cuisine have potential, but the service ruined our evening for good. Perhaps it was an isolated incident – ​​but we would definitely prefer a different service team on a second visit.

Yesterday we were privileged to spend a wonderful evening in this dreamlike house, and it was simply magical. As soon as you enter, you sense the special atmosphere: stylish, warm, and full of charm. You immediately feel welcome and cared for. The cuisine was a delight for all the senses. Each dish was prepared with love, a true taste experience. It wasn't just a dinner, but an experience. Thank you for this wonderful time. We'd love to come back!

Very nice restaurant. The service was very good. The food was 4 out of 5 🌟.

The restaurant has a great ambiance. However, the menu and prices listed here are no longer accurate. Everything is super expensive, and the service is friendly but unfortunately a bit overwhelmed.

70€ for two dishes and a drink! (I should point out it was a salad and a hamburger) the decor is certainly pretty but is made of plastic plants, the waiters were unpleasant, and the dishes were mediocre, whereas at 22€ for a Caesar salad I would have expected something better

The Malo Restaurant in Stuttgart is a matter of taste. During our visit, we unfortunately experienced somewhat long waits for ordering and serving. The service was friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. Individual requests could only be accommodated to a limited extent. The dishes were beautifully presented, but the taste wasn't quite what we expected given the price. Overall, it was an evening in a stylish setting, with some details that could have been improved.

The ambiance is really nice. Service was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, but there's room for improvement; the seasoning and presentation lacks some refinement. The appetizer platter for two people is really large, more like four! Since there were two of us and we ordered steaks as our main course, I would have expected a warning when ordering that it would be too much... We couldn't finish the dessert... Maybe next time!

More show than substance. The restaurant looks chic at first glance, but the food was disappointing: nothing special in terms of taste and not worth the price – you can get much better quality elsewhere. The service was a disaster. The waiter was inattentive, ignored simple special requests, and made rude comments – completely inappropriate. Unfortunately, not a place we would return to. Not recommended.

The food was great and the location was beautifully decorated, and that's about it. Service: The waiter who served us yesterday was absolutely unfriendly; to be honest, it was a complete disaster! I've never experienced anything like it before and I won't be going to this restaurant again. When we complained to the manager, absolutely nothing was done! Here, the customer isn't king, but a cow to be ripped off!

Essen ehr durchschnittlich bei überhöhten Preisen, Auswahl sehr gering, Personal war sehr unfreundlich und zu dem noch unverschämt, keinen weiteren Besuch wert

We spent our girls' night at Malo. It's very centrally located and easily accessible from the Dorotheen parking garage. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is really lovely. You can sit inside or outside, and there's plenty of room even for a larger group. The menu is straightforward, but there's something for every taste. There's also a seasonal menu. In addition to the typical alcoholic drinks, there are also delicious non-alcoholic drinks. The food, rump steak and beef tartar, were very good! If you order the nachos by yourself, you'll hardly be able to finish them. Definitely worth a visit!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Malo to everyone! We've been there a few times and were always impressed. The occasion for our last visit was a family celebration. Even though we were a large group, the service was incredibly good and fast. The staff was very friendly and attentive, so we all felt completely at home. The quality of the food at Malo is always excellent and the ambiance is wonderful. Thank you, dear Malo team, for the wonderful time with you!!!

The Malo restaurant is truly excellent! The food was excellent, fresh, and tastefully prepared. The service was also friendly and attentive. I can definitely recommend Malo.

The woman at the review really shouldn't be taken seriously. I've stood in front of her four times now and each time she looks at me in horror and says there's no chance today, we're completely full, even though there's more than enough space inside and the next people who line up without a reservation get in without any problems. The woman should learn not to have anything against people with dark hair and beards.

They forgot our reservation on my birthday - totally not worth it

The Malo is an eye-catcher. It's worth it. We had very friendly service. The food was good, but not amazing. In our search for culinary highlights, Malo didn't make it to the top places.

Only good for atmosphere. Food was nothing great, chicken was not cooked well (small drops of blood inside), service is bad with rude waiters who refuse to serve dishes if too many people order the same dish and kitchen told us the chicken is fine like this even with the blood inside! And it is extremely overpriced. Never again

The Malo Restaurant in Stuttgart impresses at first glance with its stylish ambience and an interesting menu. Unfortunately, the visit as a whole did not live up to expectations. The service seemed disorganized and sometimes overwhelmed, which led to long waiting times - both when ordering and when the food was served. Although the food was visually appealing, the taste was rather average and disproportionate to the high prices. Even special requests were only taken into account reluctantly or not at all. Overall, there was a lack of warmth and professionalism, which made the stay rather disappointing. Unfortunately, for a restaurant with this claim, in the end there is more appearance than reality.

A real highlight! I was there for the first time and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, everything was fresh and made with a lot of love. My favorite cocktail “Porn Star” was on the menu – and it was mixed perfectly! The design is also really nice: modern, stylish and yet comfortable. I immediately felt comfortable. The service was friendly and attentive - I'll definitely be back!

Food good, service courteous and friendly, atmosphere very nice. All in all good and recommended!

I can only recommend the restaurant Whether the food, service or ambience is simply top 👍

Food way too expensive. Taste OK.

After the success at my local your local, we definitely wanted to stop by and enjoy the facility and the food. And all I can say is we wouldn't be disappointed. Cool restaurant, funny, courteous staff. really awesome delicious food. Not cheap but you get large portions at great prices. But we'd love to come back.

Wunderschönes einzigartig eingerichtetes Restaurant, freundlicher Empfang und Service, wir hatten Tacos, Lachs und Filet- sehr schmackhaft und appetitlich, Dessert tiptop, sowie die Cocktailauswahl. Gelungener Abend - wir kommen gerne wieder.

The ambience is of course great, which is why we chose Malo. You can also sit outside. You can only make a reservation and get a table inside if you also order something to eat. Even later in the evening... The drinks were a little more expensive, but good. An original and beautiful location. We would stop by again.

While strolling, this restaurant caught my eye because of its appearance. It's beautifully decorated and the seating is very comfortable. The food and drinks are excellent. The service is very friendly and attentive.

Malo in Stuttgart is definitely one of the city's special restaurants. The interior is modern, stylish and well thought out down to the last detail - you immediately feel at home here. The menu offers creative but approachable dishes prepared with great attention to detail. In terms of taste, everything was of a very high standard - the combinations of Mediterranean and international cuisine were particularly convincing. The cocktails are also highly recommended! The service was friendly, professional and pleasantly reserved. If you are looking for a nice dinner in a special ambience, you have come to the right place. Price-performance ratio definitely fits given the quality. I would love to come back!

Cozy, creative jungle, with lots of green plants, for me the plastic plants are a bit too much. Food is tasty, after a friendly welcome, the food was prepared quite slowly.

Went there for the first time today with friends. The service was very friendly and despite the incredible number of guests, we had our food and drinks at our table quite quickly. The food was delicious and varied. Unfortunately, the later the evening got, the louder the music became and we could hardly understand each other at all. And the conversations at the tables around us made the noise level even louder. It's a shame, because the restaurant is really great.

Very nice restaurant with lots of plants and interesting decorations. The food was delicious, I had champagne spaghetti and my husband had rump steak, all excellently prepared. The staff was very friendly and quick. The restaurant is upscale, but the prices are perfectly reasonable for the quality you get.

Wir waren an einem Samstagmittag im Malo. Der Raum riecht sehr stark nach Rauch, wahrscheinlich weil direkt anschließend ein raucherraum ist. Das Essen war ok, preislich sehr hoch. Der Service war überhaupt nicht gut. Wir wollten eigentlich noch einen Nachtisch bestellen, aber wir haben uns so unwohl gefühlt, dass wir gegangen sind. Location ist top, eins der schönsten Restaurants in denen wir waren. Wir würden aber nicht nochmal kommen.

Very tasteful atmosphere. Food, service and everything around was very successful. I ate there yesterday with my loved ones and everyone was thrilled. The onion roast with truffle puree was awesome. That wasn't our last time. Thanks so much

Tolle Location und tolles Essen ☺️ Die Bedienung war sehr nett und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Immer wieder gern

Beim Betreten riecht es stark nach rauch. Absolut enttäuschend, Tk Ware, schlechter Service, null Kritikfähig. Sucht euch was anderes, es geht hier nicht um gutes Essen.

Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and a variety of drinks. I always enjoy coming to Malo to smoke cigars.

The large mushrooms were very tasty

Awesome atmosphere with amazing food!

We had a lovely evening with great food, champagne and red wine. All employees are top. Thanks!

Good ambience, unfriendly staff and smell of smoke. Never again!

I was really disappointed with my visit to this location. Unfortunately the food wasn't good at all. The dishes were bland and barely seasoned, which really negatively affected the taste. My main course was far too fatty and the rump steak was inedible. Overall, I had the impression that not much effort was put into the preparation. For the price I definitely expected something better. Unfortunately I will not visit this restaurant again.

Good restaurant. The food tastes good and the atmosphere is modern and refreshing. However, you notice that the speed of service decreases as the restaurant gets busier, which leads to slightly longer waiting times. This is probably because there was only one waiter. However, he was very friendly. All in all a good experience.

This restaurant is beautiful, it is an incredible dining experience.

Last night I was able to spend a wonderful evening at Malo with my girlfriend. Particularly noteworthy are the extremely friendly and humorous service as well as the stylish and aesthetically designed location. We are already looking forward to our next visit ;)

Super nice location with a holiday feeling. Food very good and beautifully prepared! Only recommended

Beautiful location, great ambience. Pleasant audience. Cocktails have room for improvement. Nachos with delicious fresh avocado dip. There was really only one sip in the espresso, so maybe you could increase that to two 🫣 Next time we will try the dishes too. Service was super nice but hard to see, reordering was difficult. Saturday evening was very busy, a reservation would be recommended

Were there for the second time and were not served again! Went again! Don't go there anymore! It also smells strongly of smoke!

The lady at the reception who was there this evening is very unfriendly. If you don't enjoy your job and can't even pretend to, then please don't.

Very tasty food, especially the garlic roast with potato crouton. Waiter very nice. Just a bit very expensive.

Waren schon mehrmals im Malo, so enttäuscht wie dieses Mal, wurde ich noch nie. Vorspeise Buratta, welcher eiskalt war und sehr wenig Gemüse dabei war für 17€… Dann haben wir das „Highlight“ Zwiebelrostbraten bestellt, nach dem Gargrad wurde nicht einmal gefragt, und ich bekam eine Schuhsohle, bekam zwar nach meiner Reklamation einen neuen, welcher aber nurnoch halb so gross war, wie der erste. Für das Geld, hatte ich viel mehr erwartet, schade. Es wird mehr auf die Location ( Instahotspot ) geachtet, als für gutes Essen und guter Service, serh schade.

The lady at the entrance today was very unfriendly. A very negative, unmotivated young lady. We wanted to go to the restaurant area and she rudely said that this was only possible with a reservation. So we spontaneously decided to go again.

Discriminatory store, a man with a migrant background says your outfits don't fit #seischlauwahleblau

The two of us ate here at Christmas and were more than thrilled with the place. The decor is super modern and uniquely designed and creates a very aesthetic ambience. The service was extremely nice and professional and you felt absolutely comfortable despite the sometimes long waiting time. The prices are a little higher, but absolutely justified for the food. The dishes were extremely high quality prepared and simply delicious. We would also highly recommend the cocktails, they were also really good. We'd love to come back.

Another sobering experience in Stuttgart's gastronomy. Although there was nothing going on, the table we ordered wasn't prepared, there was no beer, the reception was sparse and in the end I was deducted 20 euros too much on top of the already extreme prices. Unfortunately I only noticed this when I got home.

Ambience is really nice, but completely overpriced. Service nice but slow. It took 15 minutes to get tickets even though the restaurant wasn't full. Main courses are not filling. We went home hungry.

The food is very good and exceptional. The ambience is perfect for a nice evening with friends or a romantic date. Everything is special and tasteful. My tip: If you sit at the bar, you can watch the hustle and bustle in the kitchen. The artists at work. That was very impressive. Only the service seemed a bit stressed in places. They forgot our dessert. Otherwise everything was great.

Very nice atmosphere and great selection of music. Food was also great, but the jus is not really recommended, it tasted very burnt. Would definitely reserve a table at the weekend as the request for seats increases significantly in the evening. The aperitifs were also great, overall a very nice evening and very nice, fast and courteous service.

Had a really wonderful evening here, the food was really delicious. And unfortunately we can't complain at all. Unfortunately, I don't understand the other reviews about the service. The waiters were always very accommodating to us.

At the reception we were assigned a table where we sat down. However, an older waiter then yelled at us very rudely because he was reserved. Even after we explained the situation, there was no understanding at all. It made it appear that we had a malicious idea behind it. However, the waiter who served us at our new table was very attentive and friendly. Contrary to our expectations (especially because of the high prices), the food was unfortunately nothing special and therefore quite overpriced. The ambience was generally nice with music and decoration, but the tables were far too close together for the above-average prices, similar to a canteen.

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food

I recommend the onion roast. Good wine selection for my taste and decanting is also possible. There were more people than we reserved and tables were added very flexibly.

A great restaurant and bar concept. What's left to say? Great ambience (lots of plants, comfortable chairs and sofas, heavy wooden tables), top food (good selection, beautifully presented, well seasoned) and brilliant service (funny, friendly and attentive). A really great evening... always happy!

An extremely beautifully decorated restaurant, with the best Pornstar Martini in the world. The menu is very small, but the dishes are very well prepared. High quality meat and very tasty fries. The truffle fries are highly recommended as is the Pornstar Martini, which tastes really good here. However, the restaurant is sparsely staffed, which is why it takes longer to order something/request the bill. In addition, the prices for both drinks and the menu are expensive. Nevertheless, Malo has a unique ambience and a unique Pornstar Martini, which makes the restaurant unique in Stuttgart

The restaurant is really well and stylishly furnished! The food was good and plentiful, the service staff was very friendly and very attentive... a big thank you to the young waiter! Thanks

My sister was literally yelled at and beaten up by a waitress last night and that was only because, according to the waiter, she was sitting at a seat that was already reserved... the waitress was a young woman and had black/dark hair. She was treated so badly afterwards that she wanted to leave. It's a shame, the store used to be good.

The only good thing is the location. Unfriendly waitress and disorganized employees who moved us several times. Price performance is bad. Never again.

Service too slow, overwhelmed and extremely unfriendly!!!

We were thrilled by the MALO in Stuttgart. The atmosphere is modern yet cozy, perfect for a relaxing evening. The staff was very attentive and friendly, which made the visit particularly pleasant.

We really liked the ambience, but the drinks were average

The food was very tasty! The value for money for the Jerk Chicken was a bit surprising. But the design of the restaurant is very beautiful.

Very nice atmosphere but the staff seems very, very awkward and unqualified to me. In addition, the waiters are not open to questions about products and you are only spoken to in an unfriendly and ignorant manner. It's actually a real shame for such a beautiful location.

Classy and unique ambience. Delicious drinks and high quality food for relatively expensive money.

Nice atmosphere, we found the chairs too low and too uncomfortable, service a bit too eager, menu not very extensive, starters good portions and tasty, except for the carrot-coconut soup which had little taste despite the salt and pepper. For the main course, the rump steak was unfortunately not done as ordered. The MALO Sprizz is very sweet and definitely not an Aperol Sprizz. The prices are sometimes quite high. At the end we also had a bottle of red wine on the bill that we hadn't consumed.

Location ist außergewöhnlich cool. Essen top. Service top (unser Kellner „Jamal“ fiel durch seine offene sympathische Art auf). Die Wartezeit fürs Essen war angemessen.

We each had three courses and several drinks was good. Service, another topic. Nice waiter, but he was there too rarely and forgot food or drinks several times, and the bill was also wrong. The overall impression really suffered as a result.

The food was great. Unfortunately, the service was very slow and orders were mixed up, which hurt the overall impression. Otherwise we would definitely have stayed longer.

Lovely atmosphere, and good quality.

Very nice atmosphere with delicious food and a very friendly waiter. Big compliment and big thanks to Darius for this great evening.
