Ratskeller München in München

At the end of March, I went to the Ratskeller with my children after the Circus Krone performance. Despite the football match, we managed to get a seat without a reservation. We sat in the small wine bar by the entrance. Despite the large number of guests, we had a wonderful evening thanks to the friendly staff. We sat with Bianca and a friendly colleague. We were always well looked after, and the service was warm and attentive. The friendly gentleman who brought the food that evening was also super nice. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening with you. We'll be back 😊 Best wishes from a colleague in the catering industry.

Unique experience. Everything was great

The first meal after getting off the plane, authentic German pork knuckles and kielbasa, paired with sweet and refreshing beer. It is indeed a cellar restaurant suitable for eating big meat and drinking wine. The waiter's tone and attitude are like something straight out of a fairy tale book, which is endearing and reassuring. It's worth visiting again.

Great food in great location. Booking was done easily and service was excellent. Cant ask for more

The atmosphere in the Ratskeller is nice. It is very large and you can usually find a place even without a reservation. The service is friendly and accommodating. The food is traditionally Bavarian. There is also a selection of vegetarian dishes. Creative dishes and very tasty.

The Schweine Braten was almost inedible.. Dry, chewy, worst pork roast I have ever had. Seems it was the weekend's roast that was microwaved. Server did not care. I have had great memories of Ratskeller but will never go again.

Great restaurant with a rich Bavarian menu! I highly recommend visiting

Huge German restaurant in the basement of Marion Platz. Be careful as the store is so large that you may get lost. The appetizers on the 3-tier stand had a little bit of both vegetables and ham, which was nice. The portions are a bit modest, which is helpful for Japanese people. Please check the time as they won't come to pick up the LO.

Ratskeller München offers a fantastic Bavarian experience right in the heart of the city. The beer was excellent—fresh and full of flavor—and the food didn’t disappoint either. I especially enjoyed the hearty meal with fries, perfectly cooked and generously portioned. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and the service was friendly and efficient. A great spot to relax and enjoy some authentic local fare!

Very cozy Bavarian restaurant, with high prices. Very good service, food was rustic and good.

Food was world class. The service and the ambience too

Very tasty, good choice of dishes, pleasant atmosphere.

We were quite happy with the service and the food. Even a visit from a mouse didn't upset anyone and rather brought a smile (it's an old building) and it's highly advisable to make a reservation. Toilet is a bit old.

Pork belly is tasty and satisfying. Their number one beer was not cold and preferable. It is better to get a bottled one. Ambience is very cool and worth to see. Service is okay-ish. Looks like a tourist trap at the most touristic place in Munich but I cannot decide :)

The food is very good, good quality and service, I will repeat when I return to Munich and I will always recommend it.

I like the vibe of the restaurant and the staffs prompt answer/attending to us. Food was great and was happy that i got to try the duck before the season end in march!

The service here is impeccable. The food is perfect and nobody leaves without an incredible dining experience.

The Ratskeller is really highly recommended; the food is always excellent, although sometimes a little more boldness in the seasoning would have been appropriate (soups and sauces). The beef broth was rather bland. The service is good, but sometimes a little rushed. The ambience, both in the courtyard and in the cellar, is more than beautiful and worth taking a picture. The food is not cheap, but the wine, incidentally excellent Franconian wine from Würzburg, is priced in a guest-friendly manner: €6.50 for a bottle (= 0.25l) tempts you to have a second or third glass. We are not prepared to shell out a whopping €6 or €8 for 0.1l, as is the case in other restaurants; An inexpensive house pint should always be on the menu. Large and varied selection of dishes, including vegetarians and vegans. You don't know what to eat because there is so much good food. On March 29, 2025, we went back after our visit to Circus Krone...wonderful! Highly recommended: The “Himmelsglück” dish! Exemplary. The Ratskeller is really highly recommended, the food is always excellent, although sometimes a little more courage with the seasoning would be appropriate (soups & sauces).

Large and diverse selection of dishes, also for vegetarians and vegans. You don't even know what to eat because there is so much good food. On March 29th, 2025 we were there again after visiting Circus Krone... wonderful! Highly recommended: the dish 'Himmelsglück'! Exemplary.

Portions of Sand ah Weng Weng for the price

Very good food, but the staff takes a long time to serve.

Good, traditional bavarian food! In the main square, and right by the train station! Lots of tables and space. Dessert sampler was delish!

The place is very popular, but there were free tables. The food is very tasty, the beer too!

First I have to give a huge shout out to Jean-Claude for excellent service and his hospitality. The food was first class I had Pork Knuckle and it was delicious. The atmosphere was very nice as well and the servers were attentive. I would highly recommend this to anyone in Munich even just for drinks they have a bar side of the restaurant which seemed to be packed. They have menus in English and have pictures of each dish so you know what the item you are getting looks like which is a huge plus as not to many places do this.

A surprisingly good restaurant given its proximity to the tourist hub that is Marienplatz. Atmosphere is warm, the restaurant itself is amazing with different areas available for dining. Food is delicious. Rated overall just missed a 5 as there is better pork out there. But in reality you won’t go wrong here!

Both potato soup and goulash excellent.

Nice, rather touristy, elegant restaurant. The service was top. Starter was very good. The main course "Zürcher Pilzrahm Geschnetzeltes with Spätzle" was served hot, but was a disappointment. The sauce turned out to be a watery broth with mushroom broth. Rahm has never seen this dish. The main course was disappointing for the price.

The food is great. The sausage platter, mashed potatoes, and beer are all delicious. However, the server in charge of my seat never looked at me, and I ended up having to ask another server to order a second beer. During that time, I repeatedly looked at another server, but he ignored me without even giving me a second glance. The server I spoke to was friendly but didn't take my order, so I had to wait for another server. When I was asked for a tip at the checkout and I said no, I was strongly approached and told that the service charge was not included in the price. I explained that I had been waiting a long time to order, but he didn't seem convinced. I have worked at a restaurant where there is a tipping culture, so I think I understand about tipping. Don't hesitate to tip for good service. The service this time was not worth tipping.

Very nice, very tasty, very friendly. Huge selection of food.

Were there for St Patrick's Day. It was really great. Come again.

Highly recommended restaurant, simply top

Would love to come back, the staff was very nice and attentive, friendly and funny

Delicious draft beer 🍺 and traditional German dishes.

A very large but also rustic and traditional restaurant in a prime location on Marienplatz. One might fear it would be too touristy. It is indeed touristy, but that doesn't detract from the atmosphere and, above all, the quality of the food. An excellent roast pork! An absolute recommendation when visiting Munich.

This is a restaurant you can't miss in Munich. It is located right below the New Town Hall. Once you enter, wait for the waiter to help you seat, and then you can order food. As for food, if you are tired of other German meat dishes. I highly recommend the mushroom pasta here. They gave us a pot of mushroom sauce soup and asked us to pour the sauce soup into the cheese pasta and mix it together. In case the mushroom sauce got cold, the waiter would use a candle heating table to help heat it up. In short, it was full of ritual. The waiters here are very enthusiastic and considerate. One of them even took the initiative to help customers who wanted to take photos with the soup and the main course to prepare the dishes. XD

Figured this would be a bustling spot. The place seemed busy despite it being Thursday and off season. My food took a long time and it was really hard to find my waiter. Maybe I needed to try something else; maybe bratwurst isn’t my thing.

We had a very tasty dinner, the waiter was very friendly. Highly recommended, even if you have to dig a little deeper into your wallet.

Super cozy and good food. And we had a great waiter and thanks to this combination the four of us had a wonderful evening!

I highly recommend this place! They serve good, home-style cooking, excellent service, and all at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit!

It was our first time in Munich and therefore our first time in this restaurant. Very authentic in all areas: ambience, service, dishes. The service cannot be surpassed in terms of perfection. Wasn't pushy, knew exactly when we wanted something or needed advice and therefore always came at the perfect time. The food was so delicious!! I haven't eaten so well in a long time! We will definitely come back! Our new local restaurant in Munich! Stay as you are!

We always eat well here, highly recommended even with foreign guests. Wide selection, including many sophisticated vegetarian dishes. Extremely professional service and very nice, homely and quiet atmosphere! Absolutely recommended. The only downer: “Munich tap water” 8 euros/liter. Hopefully the municipal utilities won't follow an example...

The man who sat at the table was always smiling. It was kind Tips can be chosen from 10%. (not required)

It turns out that I read on Little Red Book that traditional beer houses in Munich have very poor service attitudes (especially for Asians), but this store is completely different from the rumors. Even though I came to eat alone, the waiter was very enthusiastic and recommended local beer in Munich to me. I ordered roasted pork knuckle. The pork skin was very crispy, dipped in sauce, and sauerkraut. I was very satisfied while drinking beer. The disadvantage is that the price is a little expensive (32 euros in total) I’ll come back next time I have a chance to come to Munich

We were in the Ratskeller on Saturday evening after a Bayern game. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we didn't have to wait long. The Ratskeller was packed. Nevertheless, the service was quick and friendly. You didn't have to wait long for the food either. The pork knuckle was by far the best I have ever eaten. Definitely worth a visit. Top top top

We went to have dinner and it was a fantastic place. The food, the beers, the service and the environments was fabulous! Also the location es great!

I looked for advice in the Ratskeller but only found a tomcat.

A great restaurant at Marienplatz. The atmosphere is very welcoming and nicely decorated. The staff was outstanding and a 100/10. Super friendly, helpful and competent. The food was also fantastic and we enjoyed it very much. The price is a little higher, but for us it was worth it. We would come here again at any time.

It's crowded, but you won't have to wait long to be shown around. It's a very nice restaurant, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. It was a great memory of my trip!

A very central place to eat in Munich. I highly recommend the beef soup, it is exquisite and always feels good to combat the cold. The prices are a little higher than in the surrounding places but it is well worth having lunch or dinner here.

Beautiful 😍 Everything was very tasty 🙈 Thank you 💞

Nice atmosphere in a quaint setting. Food was very nice at decent prices. Service was good

They don't serve one person. 🤵：How many people you have? 😀：One. 🤵：Only one!? 🙁：🤷 And they just ignore me.

When you come to Munich, I advise you not to leave without eating Bavarian food and seeing a German restaurant. Located in Marianplatz, the most touristic place in Munich, this restaurant is ideal for experiencing this experience.

The landlord is very accommodating, the food is first class!

We were on training in Munich and stayed one night before leaving. Dinner should be spontaneous. We got there straight away without a reservation on a Friday evening and got a table. The location is absolutely worth seeing both historically and culturally. Gigantic! You can quickly get lost. The food didn't take long to arrive after it was chosen. The Franziskaner Kellerbier is super tasty, and feels even better in the clay mug than it already is. I've never had the Jäger Schnitzel in this composition before (I have no idea whether that's typically Bavarian), delicious mushrooms, unbreaded pork schnitzel (super tender), breaded cauliflower and spaetzle. My colleague's sausage plate was also something special, he said. If you want to have a fine Bavarian meal, this is definitely the right place for you. The service staff is super professional and extremely friendly. Despite the high number of people, gestures and facial expressions were always positive and in a good mood. I'd love to come back.

Fantastic restaurant in the basement of the New City Hall in Munich. Food and service were fantastic!

Top restaurants in Munchen the food is amaizing

Great place. A must in München. Thanks to Valentína, she was so nice.

The food here is so good it actually brought me to the verge of happy tears 🤣 I had a Wiener Schnitzel as a main, and then took the unprecedented step of ordering a starter for my "dessert" - the Goulasch Soup - both dishes were superb. I'd also recommend the kellerbier, incredibly tasty. The service is friendly and very efficient, and my waiter was very patient as I switched between English and broken German. Based on the location I'm honestly shocked that this place isn't packed 24/7! A hidden gem I guess. I'm just sad I only found this restaurant on my last night here, otherwise I'd have come here every night. 5/5 and would give it more if I could. Now to somehow undo the weight I've undoubtedly put on! Danke schön 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I can highly recommend it. Something completely different than usual. Here you are a guest and not a number. Waiters still really old school. And the food was good and plentiful. We had a snack for two people with drinks for just under 30 euros. If we are back in Munich we would love to come back.

Absolutely recommended, great restaurant with top service and delicious food

a great atmosphere; Located directly under the historic town hall building. The food was tasty and perfectly prepared. The portion sizes were just right. We went here with two friends from the States and they were thoroughly impressed

A must-visit restaurant in the heart of München. The interiors are incredible! There are more than 9 halls with different interior designs, it's amazing. We were seated in the "Arche Noah" hall, with interesting illustrations on the blue vaults. The atmosphere is enchanting, it's like you're in a magical medieval tavern! One may think it's a very expensive place, as Ratskeller is located in the most popular and beautiful building in München, but all three dishes that we tried were both delicious and affordable. Of course, some dishes are more expensive than in other restaurants, Schnitzels, for instance. So just do a small price-check on the dishes before visiting. We ordered potato soup (7.5€), goulash soup (8.5€) and a small mixed salad (7.5€). Potato cream-soup had tender texture, creamy flavor and was topped with pretzel croutons, roasted onions and chives. I loved it! My sister loved her goulash soup, which had many pieces of meat and nice seasoning. Both soups came with slices of homemade bread, which was very good. The salad was a mix of small salads - potato salad, cabbage salad, carrot salad, green salad. It was tasty and refreshing! I definitely recommend visiting this place!

I've been going to the Ratskeller for carnival for years. This year everything was a disaster when it came to food, schnitzel with potato salad was ordered for 17.50, the schnitzel was very small, probably 100 grams thrown into the deep fryer from the freezer box and 150 g of ready-made potato salad with it. In terms of food, I would advise against visiting here

I cannot recommend a visit here at all. The staff is very unfriendly. Unless you want to waste the whole day waiting for the full meal, otherwise I recommend you go to another restaurant. 服務人員超級不友善，如果你不想毀了出遊的心情，推薦你前往其他餐廳。

Super cozy restaurant, very friendly service and just keep it up!!!

Everything is just perfect at the place. I would love to go again and again and again. Its a total 10/10.

Great ambience, but unfortunately the service (Bianca) was very rude because we only consumed drinks. The table we were sitting at was reserved at 4:30 p.m. for 7:30 p.m., the service staff turned the reserved sign towards us twice and we felt unwelcome and asked to leave because the table had been reserved. Too bad.

A huge restaurant with several themes (Irish pub, French, Bavarian). The location is very historical. The food is good but it's not cheap. The service is friendly. If you are there the first time, you can get lost.

A little disappointed 😞, we had reserved, didn't get our table (it was still occupied) and were put in a back room. Condition was trying not to be too unfriendly. Food was good but we missed the wow.

A must stop in Munich. The place is incredible. Delicious food and good, fast service. If you go to München you definitely have to go. They won't regret it.

Unfortunately I can only give 3 stars because we were personally a bit disappointed. After we had pre-ordered we were pushed into a corner where we didn't notice anything of the atmosphere and that after almost 1000km of driving. The food was ok but not a highlight, but that's a matter of opinion. We have now seen it and no longer need to go there.

Good Bavarian food, service was very flexible and professional. Atmosphere was cozy. We were there with a group of 15 people. It was ideal for that.

Beautiful traditional place in the heart of Munich. Very nice food, good prices and friendly staff!

Located at Marienplatz, the Ratskeller has traditional Bavarian vibe and food. We lucked out in getting a table since it was time for dancing and dining. The food was delicious Though the goulash could have had more pieces of meat in it. It was still good to have and warm up on a cold winter’s day. We were given English menus and our server spoke English, which was very much appreciated & helpful.

They told me that I couldn't miss it if I traveled to Munich, and obviously I didn't, we reserved a table for Saturday after watching a Bayern game at the Allianz. Perfect service, if you have a reservation you have preference, since there is normally a queue but it is signposted that reservations have preferential treatment. It is the basement of the town hall, a very cozy and traditional place. The food was excellent, very tasty knuckles, the beer is to start drinking and not stop, super smooth, and then the dessert was very generous. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. A very good experience!!!

Very nice Place in the heart of Munich, near Marienplatz. Good service and food!

Service is so subpar and the food is also DISASTER… Afterwards I had severe stomach cramps 🤢

The waiter was extremely and friendly and the food just wasn't good... it's a shame

The food was very tasty and authentic. We had reserved a table and were able to get to our place straight away, even though we were there almost 20 minutes early. I also really liked the atmosphere, it's definitely worth a visit!

Everything was delicious! Good waiters and clean restaurant. I had the potato soup with a pretzel and Jägerschnitzel with spaetzle. Everything was delicious! Good waiters and clean restaurant. I had the potato soup with a pretzel and Jägerschnitzel with spaetzle.

Very tasty, traditional food in a rustic atmosphere.

Wonderful food, very friendly service, very cozy atmosphere!

We had dinner here on New Year's Eve. The service and food were excellent. The waiters were child-friendly and humorous.

Great service unreal food and mentioned it was my partners birthday and they provided a balloon and cake at no extra charge. Amazing place would recommend

My first visit and a beautiful, rustic cellar with the best food. It was a wonderful evening and guests came here from all over the world. The service and the speed of the waitresses is insane. The quality is absolutely great and we will definitely come here again next time we have the opportunity. One of our best recommendations.

Delicious food in a traditional restaurant with friendly service. Particularly to be missed: Kaiserschmarrn 👍🏼💯

Even though I got to the restaurant on time and had a reservation, they did not let us in. And a disrespectful statement was made: "You don't have a reservation, get in line." They probably choose a man and let him in. I never recommend it.

A business that suits Munich, which comes from the depths of history. There seems to be a different work of art on each wall. A clean, meticulous business. They have a professional service approach. How does the food taste? The visual is also satisfying. A place where you can have pleasant moments

Honestly I don't know why this placement is rated a 4.4, it should be rated 5 star. We walked through the front door, which i admit didn't look like much, but opened up to a beautiful, large underground restaurant with amazing food and even more amazing service. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant so much that we came back here a second night. If I was staying in Munich longer I would have gone to this restaurant every single night. The service is exceptional, the food is to die for and the atmosphere is just perfect. Great interior, great authentic german food, and great variety to choose from! Im recommending this restaurant to family for when they come to Munich next. Possibly the best restaurant I've been to in Europe! P.S. try the goulash soup, potato cream soup and the rouladine, you won't be disappointed!🤌😍

I had dinner here with my father today. I can only recommend the restaurant. The service was very good and the staff was very friendly. I first received the wrong insert, but it was replaced immediately and quickly. The food was excellent. Price is also completely okay for Munich city center.

A nice Bavarian local German restaurant downstairs. Waiters are caring and friendly

The Ratskeller is such a nice restaurant but unfortunately our food at the weekend wasn't of high quality or fresh at all - but the prices are all the more upscale. The duck was old and the meat was gray, the skin like leather. The sauce came from the package and tasted somehow artificial or like Maggi. Then we had a pepper steak which was good, but the sauce with it wasn't a pepper sauce or anything. Even the cheap gastro fries were just too below average for the price. Too bad.

Located in the basement of Munich City Hall, the space is quite large and atmospheric. The food is good but a bit salty (the German 🇩🇪 taste is still a bit strong) and the beer is also very delicious and refreshing.

We spontaneously went to the Ratskeller in Munich. The food, service and ambience were just perfect! Always happy!

Food was great. Good large portion and very competent, friendly service. Recommendation!

Beautiful restaurant with excellent food. One of the best pork knuckle I’ve had. The menu contains a large selection of local favorites, and available in English for tourists. Some dishes are presented on plate warmers, which is a nice touch. Make sure to try the white asparagus options when they are in season, simply delicious. The interior of the restaurant feels authentically local, but their outdoors courtyard feels fun and lively.

I stopped by Munich to try Schweinhaxen. Before coming here, I went to a famous brewery restaurant and came here because it had a noisy atmosphere. The staff was friendly, the interior was pretty, and the German customers sitting next to me were calm and gentlemanly. I felt like I enjoyed the atmosphere~😍The food was clean and good. This is a place that added pleasure to my trip to Munich.

Very cozy space. I only had the starter: potato soup with pretzels, which was delicious. I recommend it to those who don't have much money but enjoy a good restaurant.

Rustic Bavarian with pretty parts. The restaurant is huge and the service is very hectic and scattered. The food is OK for the price, but it's nothing special either.

We felt very comfortable and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
