Restaurant Obalski in München

A wonderful time at Obalski! The service was impeccable, quick, and friendly, and the food was just as good. Thank you to the whole team!

I went to this restaurant for the first time yesterday and I absolutely fell in love! The food was not only fresh and delicious, but also beautifully presented. The main course was a real highlight – rarely have I tasted such perfectly seasoned food! The service was attentive, friendly, and yet pleasantly unobtrusive. You simply feel welcome. Definitely a new favorite spot for me!

I'm not quite sure what to make of this restaurant… too many mistakes, too much nonsense. The price/performance ratio just doesn't add up for me. I usually prefer good, and generally more upscale, restaurants, but this place was a disappointment. Sorry. > Waiter not paying attention after asking several times for extra sauce > No one asked about the desired doneness of the meat > Veal cooked unevenly on each side – left to sit on one side for too long (probably just to rest) > Different drinks (shots) were brought than ordered without any consultation or inquiry > No truffles in the truffle fries?! Where are the truffles?!?! > Many people, many separate checks, no one asked for the bill…

Great atmosphere with great selection of wine and food menu

Obalski is a great restaurant with a small but excellent menu. The dishes are international with a French touch. The moules frites are especially recommended. The atmosphere is very inviting, and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive. We celebrated a birthday there and will definitely be back.

We had a delicious meal, both the appetizer and the main course. The service was attentive and very friendly. We'd gladly come again.

It felt very different than any other restaurant experiences we had in Munich! So far one of the best :) We had such a pleasant evening here. It was very cozy inside and the service was also nice. It was great to be able to taste variants of food that is not easily found everywhere. Plus, the cocktails were very delicious and well-made! Definitely recommend!

Well-maintained venue with a minimalist and elegant style Friendly and professional staff Good food selection Wine list is a bit limited, although it offers a decent selection

We spontaneously decided to go based on a recommendation and weren't disappointed! The service (Stella ;)) was very attentive, quick, and went out of her way to accommodate everyone. The food, with its clear yet unique menu, was delicious, and everything we ordered was great! The drinks were also fantastic; they even made me a Cosmopolitan upon request (you should definitely add that to your menu ;)!). Thank you for the lovely evening, and I'd love to come back again :)

A wonderful, friendly welcome; I arrived 45 minutes early and was able to wait at the bar with a nice glass of white wine; the food itself was delicious and the service very friendly.

Café Buchwalsky has real charm, is cozy, lovingly decorated, and run with palpable passion. The coffee is excellent, the cakes are homemade and simply delicious. The relaxed atmosphere is particularly lovely – whether for breakfast, a quick cappuccino, or a spot to work in the afternoon. The team is always friendly and attentive. A place where you immediately feel at home. I'll definitely be back!

Always a treat! I recommend the Bomb Apple Drop, Aperol Sour, and Amaretto Sour.

Excellent food, nice setting, friendly waiters but too much waiting to receive the dishes (30-40 min)

Very nice restaurant, great quality of food, with friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. What was exceptional is that we tried to book a table but no answer on the phone. After 10 min I received call back and table was waiting for us. Something you will not experience that often!

Very attentive service from two young women who catered to our every need. The food was fantastic; we'd love to come back!

We shared two different starters and main courses. We'd recommend doing this to sample as much of the excellent menu as possible. We prefer coming during the week, as you can always find a seat and enjoy the ambiance in peace!

We don't understand the bad reviews. We were greeted and served by two very attentive, courteous, and friendly waitresses. The food was great (!) and, considering the quality and quantity (main course + side included), the price was more than fair. The only downside... the restrooms. 🫣 We'd love to come back!!

Great food, great staff and nice atmosphere! Always like going! The mussels are I think some of the best in town! Great wine and drink selection too!

I really enjoyed the food, a place to go in Munich. The waiter and waitress were very nice. The only problem is the waiting time for getting the food and for paying… it could be a perfect place with a bit of improvement

A lovely wine list, perfect food, and very attentive service. Unfortunately, the acoustics are terrible, meaning that when the place is full, you literally have to shout at each other to communicate. That's a real shame.

The poor food, the sometimes warm drinks, and the unpleasant ambiance are all combined with the unfriendly, know-it-all staff to create an extremely unsatisfying overall package. Not recommended!

So yummy - need to get the Artichoke! Friendly service & nice atmosphere

Our waitress, D. Schelle, was extremely courteous and sweetened our evening with a pleasant touch of humor.

Great place. The food is very good and the service is slapping. Shoutouts to Disco-Schelle. It was a great evening!

5 stars and the sixth goes to Disco-Schelle 🔥

I ate there with friends. It's an absolute insider tip. Great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and great service. I particularly enjoyed the char tartare!

Nice atmosphere, delicious food

Here you can find everything that makes a great visit to a restaurant: - a really chic and casual atmosphere, both inside and in the bar - Food at an incredibly high level: e.g. yesterday again the classic starter Artichoke (you can hardly get any better in Munich), or the ceviche. The main courses were also consistently great, from fried chicken to burrata - everything was great. And also desserts like the NY cheesecake with a carmel sauce to die for. - very good drinks: from sparkling water to aperitifs to cocktails, e.g. the Pisco sour - A service from the operators that couldn't be more relaxed, even when the shop is buzzing - And therefore a really great value for money

Good drinks, friendly team! See you soon!

Great food (even with advice from the chef) and great ambience. The braised pointed cabbage was a revelation!!

Very nice team, the food was also excellent

We had an absolutely epic evening here, we were two couples meeting in Munich and had so much fun. The food was very tasty with a wonderful curated wine list across various budgets. However what made the evening so epic was the heartfelt and wonderful staff. A big thank you to the competent and charming guy who advised us on our wines, and the smiling and luminous waitress who continuously checked in with us. And then the barkeeper who was willing to mix up our favorite cocktail which was not on the menu and it ended up being the BEST version anyone of us ever had. And we had many… I truly hope that whoever gets a chance will experience the same constellation of staff as we did. If you do, it will be a guaranteed and unforgettable night. We absolutely loved the food, but the experience by those who looked after us, will make us come back.

Very good, somewhat unusual food, nice wine list, good, unusual cocktails, friendly, quick service. We'd love to come back👍🙂

It was worth it just for this beauty of an artichoke! Unfortunately, the moules frites don't come in the classic pot, which disappointed me as a Brussels resident. The wine wasn't mine, but that's a matter of taste ☺️

Had dinner at Obalski on a Wednesday evening and had a wonderful time. We had the pulpo and chicken as a main course, ceviche and char tartare as a starter. Come again!

Nice drinks, great food and service!

The Obalski is a real insider tip! The owner is incredibly welcoming, and his friendly manner immediately creates a relaxed atmosphere. The food was absolutely top-notch—fresh, creative, and prepared with love. The service was also a delight: attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. You can tell that quality and hospitality are a top priority here. I'll definitely be back!

First time there and never again! Aside from the fact that we had to wait an hour and a half, it was a disgrace. The portions were also way too small. To top it all off, there were bugs in our food. Simply disgusting.

We were there on a Saturday evening. The dishes are well coordinated and very tasty. Each had three courses. Service was polite and quick.

Very cute and cozy restaurant with a relaxed vibe, amazing food and drinks! Reservations are also possible for large groups! Really recommend!

Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled at all. In general I think the prices are way too high for what you get. €16 for an artichoke is cheeky. The mussels were cold, dry and smelled strange. The crispy chicken was tasty but not much and consisted more of breading than meat and the two miniature salads on the side didn't justify the €20 in my opinion. The beef tartare was boring. There was a lack of acid and salt (mustard, pickle, lemon or capers?? Where?). The meat itself was good but the salad around the tartare was totally soggy and old. The truffle fries were delicious. Red wine bottles under 60€ are not available... The restaurant is nice and the staff is nice.

5 out of 5 stars for a great service team and a special restaurant with delicious food - something different, very selected. The ambience is also simply nice to linger in, inside in winter and outside in summer. Warm and attentive service. Wonderful for a great evening in Munich, accompanied by very tasty cocktails.

Food really delicious and unusual! Great wines. Great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Always a special visit where you can be sure beforehand that the ingredients are of great quality and are excellently prepared. Relaxed atmosphere and a young and friendly service team. I always look forward to the fried chicken a few weeks before the visit!

5 out of 5 stars for the nice team at Obalski! Had dinner for two on Sunday evening and had a great time. Waitresses nice and attentive, food really tasty (especially the truffle fries are incredibly good!) and an interesting wine selection. Definitely coming back.

The cuisine is one of the best in Munich. Service is top notch! All in all, every visit is an experience. You definitely have to see it more than once. Company thanks.

Unfortunately our birthday visit yesterday was a big disappointment. We had to make ourselves known at the entrance because the waiters just stood in the corner and ignored us. After finally being seated, it took an incredible 30 minutes for our drink order to be taken. The waitress was also extremely arrogant: “Well, what’s up? Are you sure you want to order something to drink?” – Yes, that’s exactly why we’re here. This unfriendly behavior continued throughout the evening. You constantly had the feeling of not being welcome. Every order felt like we had to ask to order something more. Drinks were forgotten and we ended up having to go to the bar ourselves to order our last round. Overall a very disappointing experience. We definitely won't be coming back.

Great restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service, good, really large portions and a nice selection of wines - in short, you feel completely at home, be it on a date night or relaxing with friends / family. Dog friendly too! Only: the vegan selection can unfortunately be expanded. A veganizable dish on the menu in 2025, in times of climate crisis and all that goes with it, really hurts, even though it is super tasty.

Very good food and attentive service. The dishes are very different and my pointed cabbage was special. Only the toilets were or are old, greasy and uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I still recommend it.

Die Vorspeise, Zander Ceviche und Moulets-Frites waren sehr lecker, die Skinny Bitch perfekt gemixt. Wir saßen an einem Hochtisch. Für mein Empfinden der beste Platz, der Nebenraum in grün gleicht eher einer Kantine. Die Toiletten werden dem Anspruch eines Restaurants nicht gerecht, dem eines Clubs schon eher. Ein wirklich großes Fragezeichen zum Thema Wasser. Ich hatte stilles Wasser bestellt, es kam eine Glas-Wasserflasche mit nicht versiegelten Verschluss, eher einer Karaffe mit Pfropfen anmutend, an den Tisch. Ich vermute diese wird immer wieder mit Wasser aufgefüllt, ob aus der Leitung oder gefiltert (?) Man weiß es nicht. Dafür 6,90€ pro Flasche zu berechnen, verstehe ich nicht.

Exciting menu, great atmosphere, interesting wines

Very friendly and open to everyone. Lots of youth, plus hospitality

We were there with our adult children and we particularly enjoyed the interesting dishes and the ambience. Since we shared everything, we were able to try many dishes. It was a successful evening! The restaurant was really well designed, was a hit for us and we will visit again.

Was there 1.5 years ago. Back then everything was 5*. Now the menu is largely unchanged, the wines are still good, the food is still tasty, but everything tends to have too much salt (which is more common in cheap restaurants to increase the amount the guests drink). Waiting time for dishes was very borderline, unbearable given the seating. Service changes, more at pub level. The ambience of the next room was unfriendly, very loud, there was no interior design, you felt like you were in a garage, the toilet was more like a club and not pleasant. Although the food is rather cheap by Munich standards, it is more expensive and offers better service. Unfortunately, quite a loss of level over time. Will it work well for a long time?

Fine restaurant! The pointed cabbage is particularly delicious! We were there on a Saturday and the atmosphere in the store was great Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the service wasn't good. We always had to wait forever until we could order something. We didn't do the last round because no one came. The service always seemed to disappear somewhere. What a shame! Food was good but small portions.

Appealing dishes from a variety of cuisines. It is recommended to share. Unfortunately, service was overwhelmed. Bread was frozen.

Chic, casual furnishings, beautifully set on stone tables with candles and cloth napkins, a friendly, cool welcome and a pleasantly mixed, concise food and wine list with nice aperitif recommendations made us feel welcome and at ease. The service was smooth, nice and professional. Wine and appetizers (pork belly & ceviche of Bavarian shrimp) were a poem. If there is something to complain about, it is at a high level: For the main courses we had the impression that the pans were probably a bit too hot. The pulp was very good in the thick parts (sauce was excellent and so was the wild broccoli), but unfortunately the tender ends were a bit burnt. The fish, on the other hand, was perfectly seared, but the Brussels sprouts were a bit too dark. All in all, a lovely and worthwhile evening. We look forward to another visit.

Apart from the nice female service, it was average. The food was ok, but despite the starter I didn't feel full. The toilet facilities are reminiscent of a run-down techno club. Every now and then an unfriendly male waitress came with a toothpick behind his ear and boredly cleared away our plates. An absolutely justified complaint at the neighboring table was nipped in the bud and was reprimanded with the words that the entire staff had tried the food and everything was ok. This reaction was extremely unprofessional and a real shame, so we also decided not to place any further orders.

A great restaurant in every respect. A friendly young man with a mustache served us. He knew very well about wine. I would eat here again at any time.

The start with an aperitif and starter was quite good, but we had to wait over 40 minutes for the main course, and during that time no one came to tell us once; Only after I asked did I get a short answer that it was almost time. I can absolutely understand that it can get stressful or take a little longer, but then the least you can do is check on the guests. And then paying over €20 for 3 bites of fried fish hurt. In response to my dissatisfied feedback, I was given a dessert on the house, which I thought was very nice, but unfortunately the cashier was also unfriendly and overall it wasn't good value for money. It's a real shame because I really wanted to try the restaurant :(

Extremely delicious food! The special thing about Obalski is that you can match the main course and the side dish depending on your taste and appetite. The ingredients are of very high quality, so the price-performance ratio is absolutely right. The drinks were also fabulous: I particularly recommend the Boston Sour. Interior is super tasteful and the service is professional, courteous and funny. The perfect mix of good food, great wine selection, nice drinks and still a casual overall experience.

Delicious cuisine, quiet ambience and friendly service. The map is small, maybe a little too small (hence deducting a star), but fine. Overall, a lovely evening spent there.

Napkins were still wet! Food was lukewarm but good! Service very unprofessional!

Delicious food, great service, great drinks, insider tip in Munich! We particularly recommend the pointed cabbage and the Diamonds and Pearls😊

Dear Obalski team, sorry, but your back room with cat tables doesn't work at all and the reaction to my complaint was simply unprofessional 🤬 I made a reservation for four people yesterday at 7:30 p.m. and we were really looking forward to the evening. When we arrived we were led through the beautiful guest room into a really unspeakable back room and seated there. The room has the charm of a public train station toilet, the chair I was sitting on was wobbly, the heater behind me at the window was cold and the friendly young waitress was simply overwhelmed by my complaint (why doesn't the restaurant manager or boss come here and explain). solves the situation?). I think the statement that tables are allocated based on the order in which the reservation is made is simply a lie, as I had already made a reservation on October 29th. No one wants to eat a high-quality dinner in such an atmosphere, let alone enjoy wine. We then left after a short discussion - really annoying! The fact that the evening ended well was thanks to the super friendly and professional team at Makassar, who spontaneously welcomed us and showed once again how top gastronomy can be.

I ate there for the first time and I was thrilled. I was very impressed by the service, the quality of the food and the ambience. Prices are by no means excessive! Gladly again and again.

Giving two stars 1) food is not bad and 2) nice vibe inside. Now the bad- extremely slow service- for us to be seated 1hour 20 minutes and no drinks still. We were also told you cannot order the fried chicken at once because they don’t have room in the fryer.. that being said, I did enjoy the fried chicken main.

Waiting time for a main course - 1,5 hours. Staff doesn’t check in with the table, doesn’t inform about the delays and isn’t really attentive. Main course was served without ordered side dishes, which came only 10 mins later - again nobody informed us about it. In the end - 5 drinks took 30 mins to prepare, when restaurant was already half empty. Food itself is not bad but the price of 18€ for a simple chicken and super small amoumt of mashed potatoes is not justified. Restaurant trying to look fancy and high end but doesn’t even come close. Overall bad expereince - won’t be coming again.

Not a hit. We were at Obalski on a Wednesday evening. Location is modern and beautifully furnished. Tables beautifully set. The first impression is really promising. The drinks are really well balanced and mixed. The wine selection is good and at fair prices. For starters we had the pork belly and artichokes. We found the sauce of the much praised Pork Belly's to be much too salty, actually tasting mainly of soy sauce. You had to look for the “crumble”. It wouldn't be a bad idea to serve some bread when you have so much sauce on your plate. For the main course we ordered the roasted meat, in short a braised beef, which tasted really good. Pulpo, in my opinion the best dish on the menu and the chicken. This dish consists of fried chicken with a yogurt-lime dip. Afterwards we realized that a cucumber salad was also included, but unfortunately it didn't find its way onto our plate. It should also be mentioned here that the piece of chicken was really no larger than about 10X5cm. For a price of EUR 18.00 I expected more, regardless of the fact that we only got part of the dish. The food is good, but doesn't justify the higher prices. It doesn't help much if you just list the "fancy" dishes on the menu with their ingredients. Chicken / lime & milk / cucumber is simply served as a fried chicken part with cucumber salad and dip. The cutlery was not set again after the starter, but we only received fresh cutlery upon request and after the main course was served. The bottle of white wine was served without a cooler and we only received it when we asked. The restaurant was full to capacity and there was a lot going on. But the fact that the main course, which was ordered at 7:30 p.m., is only served at 9:30 p.m. without receiving any information from the staff in between is not acceptable in view of the current curfew at 10:00 p.m. You can no longer order dessert, as much as we would have liked to taste it. Incidentally, it wasn't just us, but also our neighboring tables. After you make your reservation, you will receive a feedback form from Obalski by email. I answered it as in this review, but unfortunately I have not received any feedback to date.

Wow! Very fine food, very nice service! just a really great restaurant!

It was my second time, and it was unfortunately disappointing. We waited almost 1.5 hours for our main course. The waitress was not checking on us at all and ignored us. When we asked the manager (I suppose he was a manager since he was circling the room), he was rude to us. Food was OK, Moules were overcooked. They should also think about better ventilation as the place was too warm and stuffy.

Always excellent food, menu changes regularly, dishes are always great and imaginative. Prices absolutely fair, wine list very good Ambience super pleasant. Thank you for the special evening - every time!

Almost great. The menu is small but has everything you need and the quality of the preparation is high. Unfortunately, the service was a bit overwhelmed, which I can hardly blame, on a Saturday evening and the place was full, only two people had to clean glasses. Given the price level, I would have hoped for more.

Very nice evening! Food porn, palate aquaplaning!!!!! Even if Mr. Obalski is in the kitchen!!! To tell the difference, the service was wide awake, and the drinks were excellent anyway! Thank you for the lovely evening!

Obalski in Munich is a real insider tip for anyone looking for fine cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant impresses with a creative menu that is characterized by seasonal and regional ingredients. The dishes are modern and excellently balanced in terms of taste. The ambience is stylish yet cozy, providing a pleasant setting for a relaxed dinner or a special occasion. The service was ok

Delicious pulpo, good vibes and fine wine

Very nice restaurant! Highly recommend ordering a bunch of different dishes and sharing amongst your party, family style. Perhaps the only detail to consider is that the menu is quite small. Regardless, you must try the chicken! So good!

Perfect location for a special occasion and a normal dinner on a Tuesday night! I loooove the choux and the mousse au chocolate, 10/10. Their menu is small but great (moules frites, artichokes, … ), also includes a vegan main, no vegan dessert though. In summer you can nicely sit outside, although I like the atmosphere indoors even more with candles etc.

Super delicious food, nice atmosphere and very attentive service! 🙌

Excellent cuisine and very friendly staff! Lucky to have Obalski at home :)

Great food! The waitress was super knowledgeable about the gluten free options. The pulpo was terrific and the grilled romaine was fantastic. The mousse au chocolat was also a dream. Overall, the food, the ambience and the staff were perfect

Is okay. Portions could have been a little larger, but it was still very tasty.

Terrible food, high prices, better sauerkraut

Lovely Place, great food, service and staff. Can only recommend!

Really delicious food. Unfortunately there are too few staff so you often have to wait a long time for food. Nevertheless, I like the place and it always tastes excellent.

Exceptional, upscale and innovative cuisine; We recommend. Great service, individual advice. Attractive atmosphere. Gladly again

Erneut zeigt sich ein Mangel bei der Bewertungsmöglichkeit: Entweder befriedigend oder sehr gut. Das "Obalski" würde ich mit einem glatten Gut bewerten. Wir haben draußen gesessen, und Glück gehabt einen freien Tisch zu erhalten, die rund 15-20 Tische waren alle besetzt. Angenehmes Publikum. Fair bepreiste Speisekarte; die Artischoke war überragend ebenso die Moules frites. Die Weinkarte ist konzeptionell nicht ganz nachvollziehbar, bietet indes eine interessante Auswahl. Der Calcinaire 2018 von Gauby ist mit € 56,00 fair bepreist. Die beiden Bedienungen waren - trotz des Stresses - stets freundlich und zugewandt. Jedenfalls ist das Obalski einen weiteren Besuch wert.

Schönes Restaurant, Möglichkeit draußen zu sitzen, freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, Vorspeisen super, Hauptgerichte mit Luft nach oben!

The food was decent but the service not as good. They put us pressure, the wine serving was not at level and we did not even get a shot for free, even if we spent almost 600€. Not coming back!

Very tasty food, the mussels and fries were super tasty. Drinks great, very nice service. Price performance also good. We will be back

Mega experience! Delicious food & great service. A Pork Belly Dish of your most beautiful dreams… Would go back at any time. Thank you very much!

From the food to the friendly service, we had a lovely evening and will definitely be back!

Very delicious artichokes and very nicely curated seasonal menu. Big selection of alcohol-free tasty cocktails, gin basil smash is a must!

Wir haben gerade einen klasse Abend im Obalski verbracht. Die wirklich gute Küche (französischer Brasserie-Style mit schönen vegetarischen Optionen) überzeugte uns sehr und der Service war überaus freundlich. Schön war auch die Möglichkeit, draußen zu sitzen.

Whether with friends, your partner or alone, the Obalski is the perfect choice. The food is very good and varied, the wine list is unusual, the space and especially the outdoor area is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the shop is lively. There are few good restaurants where the customers are down-to-earth and stylish - here both are the case. I will always come back and praise the Obalski.

5/5 - simply a great shop! The service is incredibly good and, above all, incredibly nice and personable. I called my mother before our visit and asked if you could organize my mother's favorite dessert that wasn't on the menu - that wasn't a problem for Obalski. We had a wonderful evening and would love to come back soon!! Many thanks to the very nice team!

Good brasserie with friendly staff and great cocktails. Relaxed atmosphere.

After three visits and the food going from “very good” to “good” and then unfortunately getting worse, I would say that there is room for improvement again. The drinks and the look of the store are very good/nice.

Very good food - imaginative and prepared with sophistication and an interesting selection of wines. The tables are a bit cramped, but still 5 stars - and we'll definitely be back :)
