Petit Fritz in München

We always have our after-work beer here at the IAA 2025. The service is extremely friendly and the beer is delicious (Tegernseer)—what more could you want?

Very nice place to enjoy French cuisine

I absolutely love this place! It’s a classic French restaurant with an extensive and delicious wine selection. You can’t reserve, so you might need a bit of luck — but it’s totally worth it. The food is excellent, and there’s a large variety of oysters, with knowledgeable recommendations. The staff are also very friendly and wear stylish uniforms. A real Munich staple.

Very tasty, good atmosphere, nice conditions, and excellent service. My recommendations 😊

We were only there briefly—we didn't want to stay any longer. The slightly shorter man with a parted hair made us wait, even though there were three free tables. Obviously, we weren't welcome.

Very friendly service, great option for some French bites.

The atmosphere was nice, but I had to wait far too long for a seat and service. The price/performance ratio wasn't right in my opinion. I wouldn't go back.

The food is top-notch and impeccable, which makes up for the sometimes long wait times. Perfect for a lovely date.

Very courteous, professional and attentive.

Amazing vibe - a bit of Paris in Munich! Friendly service and tartines were good but can do better with the fish options! Smoked salmon was too much and needed for ingredients to diversify the flavor a little.

A pleasant atmosphere, with a decent culinary offering. We arrived a little late, but still had time for a few bites. We only waited about 15 minutes for a table, and we took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a bottle of the 2023 Horgelus Blanc (Gascogne) white wine – a Sauvignon Blanc & Colombard, with perfect acidity to accompany the oysters. Once seated, we moved on to the 2022 La Grange des Copains (Languedoc) red wine – Syrah, Carignan, Grenache – which paired wonderfully with the Rillettes de Canard and the Tartare de Boeuf. Excellent service. A highly recommended option, we'll definitely come back and try more items from the menu.

The ambiance was great, but unfortunately a bit snooty. Also, despite the rather good, concise menu, some dishes and drinks were missing, which was a shame. I still find €6.90 for sparkling water a bit harsh, but okay, bonjour Munich. Bread was forgotten for my fish soup; I ordered fries, and then they brought it later. The soup consisted of scampi, salmon, and mussels with lots of fennel; I would have liked more fish and no peppers, but okay, that's a matter of taste. A nice place otherwise, but quite expensive at €50 per person for 1 water, 1 beer, 1 wine, and 2 main courses...

top address 💕 delicious food and great service

Very, very friendly and competent service! Always again!

Great restaurant—unfortunately very busy at peak times with long waiting times and relatively small tables for dining—still a great experience with good wine and drinks!

Incredibly good service, fantastic food, and a fantastic atmosphere. I'd love to come back the next time I'm in Munich.

One of the best French restaurants I've ever eaten at. However, you have to expect a very long wait outside the restaurant. The waiter said the wait is better during the week. Still, I highly recommend it and it deserves five stars! It's definitely worth it!

This afternoon, three of us were at Petit Fritz, just wanting to relax and enjoy a glass or two of wine and the day – but unfortunately, that was completely impossible. Right next to us sat a group of four pretty drunk people who were behaving completely inappropriately. One of them had her feet propped up on a chair right next to our table the whole time. When we politely asked her to vacate it, her friend slammed the chair provocatively in our direction when she returned from the restroom. Extremely disrespectful. What really annoyed us was that the staff noticed everything and simply did nothing. Not a glance, not a word, not an intervention. And that was despite the fact that it was completely obvious how unpleasant it was for us. We left without ordering – we didn't want to stay in that kind of atmosphere.

Very friendly service, food was delicious. There was no waiting time on weekday evening. I especially liked the beef tartar.

A good place to sample the French lifestyle in Munich. Most of the classics on the menu are still appealing even after several visits. However, the staff urgently needs to intervene with guests who try to gain a reputation through loudness and inappropriate conversation topics.

Cool shop with authentic decor. Service and wine recommendations were good. Oysters and prawn rose were delicious, but I've never had such bad mussels and fries. 70% of the mussels were still closed and the rest were extremely small. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend them. The meat looked better.

Very good French food. Great atmosphere. Very nice, attentive, friendly staff. Top Top Top

Great service, nice atmosphere.

Arrived at 7:30 p.m. 9:15 p.m., still no main course. Almost 2 hours later!!! I canceled a steak order. They confirmed that it was fully booked. The bill arrived at 11 p.m. with a steak and a comment: "A cancellation is a cancellation, and we've received 17 cancellations today. We can't do any more." Ridiculous. Don't deliver, confirm that the cancellation is okay, and then charge anyway. And on a Monday when it wasn't even that busy. Feel free to go there for wine, but don't eat unless you have 3 hours or more to spare and customer-friendly service is absolutely not important to you. I'm shocked that I didn't get any food, was lied to, and that it was completely normal. It's 2025. It's unacceptable. ——- Update July 1, 2025: The steak issue has since been resolved. It was an oversight and has been resolved. The team is very friendly, understanding, and helpful. I've updated my rating to 4/5 stars.

In general everything was wonderful, but we first wanted to get a reserved table and called them but the number wasn’t available… The food was amazing!!! We loved the mussels and steak frites. The service was interesting… they were nice but one of them was moody and clumsy! The atmosphere was very nice it had an open kitchen where you could see how they prepared the food! Also one disadvantage was that it was expensive!

Simply exquisite...attentive and friendly service,pristine seafood presentation and menu exotique.

In addition to the very attentive service, the dishes were perfectly rounded off. The Tegernsee beer at the end was excellent and at the perfect temperature.

A very pleasant atmosphere with a slightly different feel. The food is a bit special, as it's French. I can definitely recommend it.

I've been to Petit Fritz a few times. The restaurant is highly recommended for both lunch and dinner. Very nice, traditional atmosphere combined with very good service and delicious food. It is busy in the evenings and at lunchtime, so it is advisable to make a reservation, especially during peak times.

Very tasty and nice service 🥰 Prices are a bit high but very justified for the quality 👍🏼😌

I've known Chez Fritz for a long time and am a fan, so I was curious to try its "little brother." The food was good, the menu was concise and not comparable to Chez Fritz, but it fits the concept. The ambiance is great, the clientele is hardcore Munich Schwabing, but it's part of the package. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the service concept. The outdoor area is shared by two guys in their early 20s who spend two-thirds of their time chatting together or entertaining the female guests. All good, but not when half the tables repeatedly asked for a new wine, the bill, or something similar. According to the reviews, this seems to be a regular occurrence. It's a shame.

Friendly, honest service with really good food. Steak cooked to perfection. If you can't get a steak by 5 p.m., just fill the time with oysters (Sylter oysters highly recommended). It quickly gets loud and crowded in the place, but that's negligible given the good food. I definitely recommend the desserts.

Great atmosphere and hats off to the interior design team. Feels like you are in Paris. Only bad part are the high stools at the back with a big lamp at the table where there is no way for 2 people to eat. We managed to get a table and were moved. Service is very hit or miss depending on whom you get. The day we were there 3 tables ordered the steak and all 6 steaks were well done! After complaining the waiter said it was the sunlight from the glass ceiling. (Back seating area is in like a Winter Garden) seriously?! You expect anyone to believe that? Service was slow and had to keep asking for our water, wine etc. Has potential to be a great place.

The food is simply unbelievably good, and the ambiance matches it perfectly. The service was unfortunately a bit slow and inattentive, but still very friendly.

We waited 35 minutes for our food, only for the waitress to come over and say they were out of our food (lasagna). When I asked the waitress why she only told us this after 35 minutes, all she said was "Yes, I know." Not even an apology. Truly disappointing. Unfortunately, I can't rate the food because we never got anything. Please work on your service. I come from a restaurant background myself, but this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Top 10 restaurants in Munich. Unfortunately, reservations aren't available (minimum 8 people are allowed). But it's worth every wait!

One of the best spots in munich. Nice brasserie vibes, mostly good service and great food.

Amazing restaurant and the service was great! Definitely worth it!

Good food and cozy atmosphere 👍🏻

The cuisine is exquisite and Sven look after us beautifully.We will be bk what a great service

A definite asset to Hohenzollernstrasse, which has been somewhat unspectacular in recent years (as far as dining goes). Really cool atmosphere, nice clientele, and a decent selection of oysters. You don't necessarily have to order the steak here again, but I'd be happy to come back for the ambiance and atmosphere.

Excellent French bistro cuisine at reasonable prices in a pleasant, urban setting. The only drawback was the obvious preference given to "family and friends"/tip-givers when booking tables. Conclusion: If you don't have to wait, the food and atmosphere are worth it. Otherwise, I'd go to one of the countless other French bistros where customers are treated with significantly more respect.

The service is excellent. The waitress, Chiara, did a very good job. The ambiance is also very nice, just a bit noisy.

A nice restaurant, but not comparable to its big brother, Chez Fritz. Because we like the latter so much, we tried this one. Unfortunately, the food isn't as good, but it's just as expensive. They also forgot parts of our order, which ended up being added to the bill anyway. The wait for a table was very long on a Saturday evening (about an hour) – in retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

Very nice ambiance, service, and food on point. I always enjoy coming here.

Lovely little French Bistro in the heart of Schwabing. Great tartines and open on Sundays

Fantastic French bistro with delicious food, pleasant service and good atmosphere. We haven't eaten this well in a long time. Both starters, main courses and dessert were incredibly good. Highly recommended!

Went to Petit Fritz for the first time yesterday and will definitely be back 🍀 top service and very fine food. Thanks for that :)

Interior beautiful and photogenic. Creamy good. Waiting list system is very confusing. The irony of the service staff being outfitted in French workers' jackets to serve oysters to the Munich chic restaurant wafts gently through the air like a chanson. Audience clearly Rive Droite instead of Rive Gauche. The waiters – so far only men have been seen – cool bros among themselves. If so, I would only go during the day in the future; in the evening it's all rather tiring.

Super nice staff and very good food. Unfortunately, the seating is a bit cramped and overall it's so busy that it gets a bit too hectic. But good food also attracts a lot of people 👍

Perfect. The card is awesome; French. If you like it; great place. Ambiance is perfect. You feel like you're on Seinenstrasse in Paris. Highly recommended.

Happy place. Excellent food, outstanding friendly and professional service. Like Paris only better.

Nice atmosphere, but for €9.5 the crème brûlée I would have expected more

Waiters all very different. From “cool” (and a tiny bit arrogant) to extremely hard-working (gentlemen with pigtails). The choice of food was limited, especially the fact that you couldn't order a steak before 5 p.m. annoyed me a bit. But I did get it (because I bought an expensive bottle of wine) and it was really excellent. The fries too. The ambience is very nice, even if it's a bit cramped inside. Still recommendation.

We were there for a short time - we didn't want to deal with it any longer. First we had to wait for the table, even though the table was already free for us. Then the waiter came – with more attitude than charm. Arrogant, aloofly unfriendly, and so condescending, as if friendliness were only for the rank and file. Drinks? No. Eat? None. Appetite? Gone. Instead, we got up again - with an empty stomach, but at least full of determination never to come back. Anyone who is a guest here doesn't need money - just a thick skin. For us it was too much theater for too little service. Apparently the store is doing so well that you can do without friendliness. But so did we – on a second visit.

We entered the store and politely asked if there was space for two adults and a stroller. One of the employees assigned us a table, but after five minutes we were literally thrown out of the restaurant by another employee. I have been working in the catering industry for over 16 years and have never experienced such unfriendly and inhospitable staff. Embarrassing and ridiculous, as a guest I felt humiliated.

From the food to the ambience, it's great! My visit was worth it and Luis especially served me well! It's worth a visit.

A very nice shop with a small but very fine menu, we will definitely come back.

My girlfriend and I wanted to spend a relaxing evening at Petit Fritz. But what happened next was simply unbelievable. For no reason at all, my friend was suddenly approached by a group of older women. When a table became available shortly afterwards, the situation escalated further - the group complained to the owner and demanded that we be thrown out. Without even listening to us, the waiter snatched the drinks out of our hands and we were thrown out of the bar in front of all the guests - for absolutely no reason. That's not how you treat guests! Anyone who expects fair and respectful treatment should avoid this bar.

Very, very nice service, delicious Cremont and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Real tip also for upscale afterwork :)!

Highly recommended, offering a fantastically delicious 😋 selection of French dishes at relatively reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the tables are occupied during traditional meal times.

The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We received excellent service. Unfortunately, the seating and table are relatively small, making it feel cramped. This is purely a matter of personal preference. It bothers me, but it's possible that some people find this kind of atmosphere perfect.

Having just arrived from Marrakesh, with the smell of spices still in my nose and grains of sand in my shoes, I stopped off in Munich before heading to Rotterdam - in search of new flavors in the city's harbor bars and market halls. But before we go there, there was a little detour to Paris here at Petit Fritz. The sourdough bread with eggplant - smoky, creamy, with just the right depth - and a Croque Madame as it should be: buttery, golden brown, with perfectly melted cheese and an egg that slowly ran across the plate at the first cut. Accompanied by a glass of white wine, it took you straight to an afternoon on the Seine. The service? Uncomplicated, charming, just right. A place where you stay longer than you originally intended - and still order one last glass. Munich, thank you for this little culinary trip to France. Thank you, Fritz.

Good shop, mostly good people, excellent food - you just have to get there early because you can't make a reservation.

Excellent food and great location. Gives you the feeling you are sitting in a small brasserie in Paris. Staff is also super friendly. Good selection of drinks and wines. They do not accept reservations but there is a waiting list. Make sure to come early to avoid disappointment if not getting a table.

We recently dined here and had an absolute top evening; The decor of the restaurant is very stylish, the service was extremely nice and friendly, and the food was wonderful! Many thanks in particular to Sebastian and Sven LG, Michiel

We wanted to have dinner for the three of us on Friday evening. Reservation? None. Why a fancy store can't afford a reservation system? No idea. Instead, the statement: “Go quickly, you’ll have a table in two hours.” Sure, because I have nothing better to do than stand outside the door for two hours. Without a reservation? No thanks. If that's possible at some point, I'll think about trying it again.

The food is of high quality and tastes first class. You can always spend a lovely evening here in a lovely French atmosphere. Absolute heart recommendation!

Brilliant for a Francophile time out/break; always my pleasure.

The food is really delicious, but the service in the evening was unfortunately quite unfriendly. At lunchtime, however, the waiters were totally friendly and attentive. The system where you can't make a reservation is really annoying for the guests who have to sit right at the entrance - and it seems as if even the waiters are annoyed by it. I would recommend visiting around midday when there is less going on and the atmosphere is more relaxed.

Great restaurant with very good food! Staff also great. The only negative thing is that you can't make a reservation. Otherwise everything is great!

The best restaurant in Munich! Amazing and chilled French bistro - Food and drinks are incredible, doesn’t matter if breakfast, lunch or dinner! Must go in Munich!

Everything was really nice and tasty!

Beef tartare is to die for. Shoutout to Ricko that made this lunch a highlight of the day!

Really cool place with delicious bites. Unfortunately, the waitress seems to be very aware that guests will come anyway thanks to the good reputation and therefore they don't have to make any effort. It would be nice to experience a little more appreciation - this can make a visit a 5-star experience.

You can still spontaneously go out to eat here without a reservation!!!

I visited this restaurant for the first time with a friend and was impressed by the passion and commitment of the young team. A great atmosphere, excellent service and great food – an all-round inspiring experience!

one of my favorites in munich. feels like you’re in Paris

It’s super disappointing that the service is horrible. They sat us on a small high table that only fits 1 plate. He told us we need to have the main course 1 by 1. I asked him to bring both to try to fit and we eventually had to move to a bigger table. When I complained, the waiter said “everyone eats on these tables without a problem”. There was a 40 minute wait to get a table, which was fine as they don’t take reservations. We then had our appetizer and waited 30 mins for the main course - their service was beyond poor. It makes you feel like you are actually in Paris. Food was excellent - did not try the dessert as we just wanted to leave asap.

Very good food for fish lovers. The service was great. The chairs could be more comfortable.

Outstanding service - very accommodating, explained everything in detail, were on point and super friendly! The food was also very tasty, the price was a bit higher but everything was still within reasonable limits! :) Always happy ☺️

Friday evening. 6:00 p.m. Directly after the entrance there are 5 people, obviously waiting for a seat. On one wall there are other people, each with a glass of wine in their hand, also waiting. In between there are 2.3 small tables, packed tightly together. Everything is very loud. At least on the weekend you don't need to go there... Therefore, the review does not refer to the food, service, at most the “ambience”. However, it's probably a good business idea, as you'll probably have had 2-3 glasses of wine before you've managed to get a seat.

Great and attentive service!! Gladly again

The best shop in Munich. Often very crowded. Great food and even better drinks. Unfortunately they no longer have breakfast during the week, but it's still worth it!

Pretty authentic French restaurant. No reservations but still we got a table after about 30-45 min. on a Friday night. Very good tartar and steak as well as a decent selection of French wines.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Very good wine

Delicious food in a very popular restaurant. We always enjoy coming back.

Really nice service! The food is also really tasty

Love the Chinese/Indonesian waiter, he is very attentive and nice to chat with. The design of the restaurant looks like what it is in French.

Very tasty food, later so many guests came and clogged the place that the service was slightly overwhelmed

On the night of November 26th, the oysters I ordered were smelly and there was no apology! As a result, after the child ate it, he had vomiting and diarrhea the next day. He went to the hospital urgently and spent a lot of emergency room expenses. However, due to the failure to recover for several consecutive days, the entire travel plan and itinerary were disrupted. To be blunt, the quality of this French food is really not good! If you have ever been to France, any French restaurant you can find will have more authentic food and warm reception than this restaurant! Are you still not allowed to make reservations in advance and engage in "hunger marketing"? Let customers wait in the cold wind! I will definitely not go there again!

Great lunch spot ❤️ Great service and great food, a bit like in France.

Experience: A trip to Paris!! From the service to the food it was really very nice, professional and warm staff.

Last year I was very surprised that it was pointed out quite arrogantly that no vouchers were being sold. I was there with a friend on Saturday afternoon. As usual, it was very crowded. The decor is attractive and I was greeted warmly and given a seat at one of the high tables against the wall. The cremant was quite good. Overall, the service was rather chaotic and we decided not to eat there. I'll try to eat something there one more time. But really not a place to feel comfortable. More like seeing and being seen.

Super nice service!!! Great ambience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Petit Fritz.

A very nice restaurant with very tasty food. I've been there a few times. However, I have to deduct a few stars because there is still no possibility of reservation. Even during the week if you don't come at peak times, we had to wait too long for a table, so we left again. You do something like that 1-2 times and then don't even try again. Too bad! I also found the fact that you have to stand at the front of the entrance area close to other people waiting until a table is free, especially in the colder season, to be unpleasant even if you are already seated (it gets tight and everyone is staring at your table/plate). The other way around is just as unpleasant as waiting. This has to be organized differently!

Worth the hype! Super elegant, yet young and cool. Beautiful design, really good food, like a real French bistro. The service is great! Highly recommended

Great, sometimes unusual food, but always tasteful! Very friendly service and a chic atmosphere. It's possible that there's a lot of cheating going on here, but that's what sells the high-quality food.

A collection of "a thing on toast" dishes. The fish soup was great, the overall quality was outstanding. The prices are all the way up there, but for a fancy outing it's worth it.

Food was amazing. That steak was delicious!
