Schwabinger Osterwaldgarten in München

We had a delicious roast pork at Osterwaldgarten today. The waiter was very accommodating and took a photo with me and my grandma ;)

Still our favorite restaurant in Munich. Everything here is just right for us.

Cozy atmosphere and really great and fun service! Unfortunately, the food doesn't measure up. Rather soggy fries with a schnitzel that unfortunately tastes better at home – save your money. The other dishes from the other guests weren't particularly special either. There are simply better options in Munich for this quality, which is a shame. More like cafeteria-level.

We've known the Osterwaldgarten since the 1970s. A Schwabing gem! Hopefully, it stays that way forever!

Highly recommended. A Bavarian inn with a sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. Very good, friendly service and waiters.

Purely overpriced, fancy restaurant! Roast pork is absolutely overpriced and completely dry. You can get better at any country inn. Coleslaw shouldn't really be called that. Good night, Bavarian food culture! Not worth the money!

I've been there several times. It actually deserves 6 stars. A beautiful restaurant with a beer garden in the heart of Munich. Excellent Bavarian cuisine is combined with friendliness, from the waiters to the chef in traditional Bavarian attire. Prices are right for the quality – they also have lunch specials. TOP

(will definitely be mine)....... It's now our regular spot when I'm in Munich. Very... very good food, praise be to all!! Never disappointed! Super friendly and attentive staff. Everything as it should be! And the location... prime location near the English Park 👍 highly recommended.

Everything is just right here: friendly service, a lovely beer garden, and delicious food. I had a Böfflamot (highly recommended) and my companion had a fabulous Cordon Bleu. If I'm back in Munich, I'll be happy to come back.

Cozy beer garden, very friendly service. The food and beer were excellent. We happened to pass by after a stroll in the English Garden.

Quiet location with a lovely garden and delicious food. The service is very friendly and attentive.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. If I'm ever in Munich again, I'll go back.

I like the Osterwaldgarten. I find it cozy inside with its wood paneling, but the beer garden is also nice and relaxed. You eat traditional Bavarian cuisine. The service is relaxed. The proximity to the English Garden makes it a great place to take a stroll.

The beer garden is in a great location, not too big, but still easy to get a seat. Typical beer garden dishes, including some vegetarian options, are served. The goulash was incredibly delicious (very tender), the bratwurst with sauerkraut was okay. The roast beef was very good, as was the lentil dish with dumplings. We went there twice; the first time, everything was perfect; the second time, the atmosphere was a bit rough, and the bill wasn't quite right. But things like that can happen, and it was quickly rectified.

Yes, the food was very good...but rather expensive...

A Bavarian beer garden, just like you'd dream of! I ate the best potato salad of my life here! A schnitzel like a painting. If I lived in Munich, this would be my local, right by the English Garden :)

Great beer garden. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

We spontaneously stopped by Osterwaldgarten and were immediately impressed. The service was super friendly and attentive! 😍 The portions were plentiful and the ambiance was fantastic. We'd love to go back 🥰

A Bavarian beer garden, as it should be! Still, there are delicious options if you're not into Bavarian cuisine or prefer vegetarian options. I think it's nicer outside than inside.

I had a delicious cordon bleu. However, I would like to particularly commend the exceptionally friendly service today. The friendly and obviously very experienced waitress gets 10 stars from me, even though only 5 is possible here. Her pleasant charisma and attentiveness were remarkable. She maintained eye contact almost constantly, so that any request could be made at any time. If I owned a restaurant, I would have poached her that evening.

Very fine Bavarian cuisine served in a romantic beer garden. Right next to the English Garden. Very friendly service❤️ We'll be back. Thank you very much Tom Wening Osteria Mugolone Munich

Perfect! Beautiful location, friendly staff, affordable price, delicious food and the best Maibock beer in my life……This place is a gem in München

Went there to have a beer, the service was super amazing as I have never seen before. It was a nice place to spend a few hours with my family

Simply fantastic, you can't get more Bavarian coziness and hospitality than this.

A very nice beer garden with very friendly service.

Unfortunately, I have to lower my rating by two stars. When adjusting their prices to coincide with the reversal of the VAT reduction, some restaurant owners simply went overboard. We used to be regulars here, but now a glance at the right-hand column of the menu is enough to put any desire to return back at all. Dining has generally become more expensive, but there's always a limit!

Simply 'griabig,' as they say in Bavaria. Not cheap, but prices are reasonable—the quality is excellent, and the atmosphere is unique.

Nice to sit down. Food rather poor.

We were at Osterwaldgarten last week and ordered roast beef with fried potatoes. Unfortunately, the roast beef was dry, the fried potatoes were burnt, and only lukewarm. The dish seemed carelessly presented, and at this price, you definitely expect more in Munich. Particularly disappointing in such a beautiful location: the service also seemed inauthentic and difficult to understand – which didn't exactly contribute to the ambiance. Overall, a disappointing visit – we had hoped for much more.

Top 5 food in terms of Wirtshäuser in Munich. Great location and good sitting in and outside

The location is very nice but the food is unfortunately very expensive and not particularly good.

Very pretty outdoor dining area, and the interior is also truly beautiful. The staff is super friendly. The food is very tasty. However, the portion sizes could be adjusted, as the prices are quite high.

We visited the restaurant, and very much enjoyed the food. Unfortunately the bill was higher than expected, also because food was charged that we did not consume. Please check your bill.

Eine ofenkartoffel, die zur hälfte noch roh und ungeniessbar mit einigen wenigen total sandigen pilzen und einer schorle für 25.- €!! Es wurde der volle preis abgerechnet!! Nur ein grinsen, als der noch halbvolle teller abgeräumt wurde. Nicht zu fassen...

Traditional German menu - fine food. Close to Englisher Garten and located in a cozy area of Schwarbing.

Ambiance nice, service quite slow, food just OK, quite expensive

As always, absolutely wonderful – relaxed, super nice, great service, top-notch food! Thank you!

5.50 € for a beer, and the waiter was expecting a tip. Never again.

Very cozy beer garden with super friendly service and delicious food.

For me, the Osterwaldgarten is one of the most beautiful beer gardens in all of Munich. I love sitting under the old chestnut trees in the summer – it immediately captures the true Munich spirit. And in the winter, the inn's interior, with its beautiful wood paneling, is just as cozy. The food is delicious, down-to-earth, and always fresh. The service is always cheerful and simply brilliant! You feel completely welcome. For me, it's a definite must: absolutely recommended – no matter the season!

Very attractive beer garden with a good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices 😊 The staff is very friendly. As in many restaurants, the wait staff rarely make eye contact, resulting in wait times for initial orders and repeat orders.

A huge thank you to the team at Osterwaldgarten, who welcomed us and our wedding party so spontaneously. The service was so warm and friendly, and the food was truly excellent. Really good Bavarian meat dishes, and the cheese spaetzle was also amazing. We'll definitely be back!

Gruselig, gruselig ... Aber alles der Reihe nach: Wir wollten dort etwas essen und trinken. Die Enscheidung fiel auf Schweinsbraten mit Kloß und Kraut. Hier nun das durch und durch enttäuschende Essen: Die Teller waren kalt, die Schweinsbratenscheinben dünn geschnitten und so zäh, dass uns klar wurde warum man den nur ganz dünn an die Gäste verscherbeln konnte. Der gummiartige Kloß war so groß wie eine kleinen Mandarine und genau so lauwarm wie der erbärmliche Rest auf dem Teller. Die Soße war so wässrig und fad, dass sie den Horrorteller perfekt abgerundet hat. Frür 5,80€ gab es noch einen "Karutsalat" im Minischälchen der wie aus dem Eimer geschmekt hat. Als wir nach der Verkostung der erbärmlichen "Kochkunst" dieses Gasthauses die Rechnung wollten, haben sich die Einheimischen vom Nachbartisch an uns gewand mit den Worten: "Das Essen hier kannst vergessen!" Nur wurde uns klar, warum alle außer uns nur Getränke auf dem Tisch hatten. Eine gruselige Erfahrung die kein Mensch verdient hat. Wir waren an diesem Abend zwei mal dort - das erste und das letzte mal!

I remember the Osterwaldgarten from my early youth. Back then, it was a simple and cozy beer garden that everyone enjoyed and could afford. Nowadays, its prices are in the very high range, which—unfortunately, because it's still cozy and good—makes it somewhat unaffordable for some. The menu offers something for everyone, including Munich/Bavarian dishes that you can't find everywhere. We opted for roast pork (€19.80) and Böfflamott (€25.80). Both dishes are highly recommended. The sauces and side dishes were really good. The meat is also of high quality, but unfortunately, ours was a bit too dry; the pork practically frayed (perhaps it had been overheated in the oven). But perhaps we caught it at a bad time (Saturday around 3 p.m.). All in all, the beer garden is still recommended if you have the necessary change (regular beer, for example, costs around €6, while Kellerbier costs €6.10). We'll definitely come back when we get the chance. Especially since dogs are also well looked after there. 🙂 The service was also very nice and extremely friendly. 👍

Creepy, creepy... But first things first: We wanted something to eat and drink there. We decided on roast pork with dumplings and cabbage. Here was the thoroughly disappointing meal: The plates were cold, the roast pork slices thinly sliced and so tough that we realized why they could only serve it to guests in very thin layers. The rubbery dumpling was the size of a small tangerine and just as lukewarm as the pitiful remains on the plate. The sauce was so watery and bland that it perfectly rounded off the horror plate. For €5.80, there was also a "carrot salad" in a mini bowl that tasted like it came out of a bucket. When we asked for the bill after sampling the pathetic "cooking" of this inn, the locals at the next table turned to us and said, "You can forget about eating here!" But then we realized why everyone else only had drinks on the table. A scary experience no one deserves. We went there twice that evening—the first and last time!

Nice beer garden. Attentive and friendly staff. Special culinary requests were accommodated. We came without a reservation. However, it's definitely worth making a reservation in advance, as the place is very popular.

Very nice beer garden with delicious food

A 0.4-liter juice spritzer for 8 euros. I think that says it all.

A perfect stop after a walk through the English Garden. Schweinebraten and veal schnitzel were tasty and well presented.

The portion size was fine. I had the giant schnitzel and it was quite filling. The quality was OK, but the meat was a bit tender. The cleaning lady in the restroom (in the restaurant) wanted money from you. The service was friendly and attentive.

Great atmosphere, excellent food and top service!

A true Bavarian restaurant in a premier city. I always go here when myself and family are in town. Food is spectacular.

Unfortunately, it has become as expensive as almost all in Munich

Friendly staff, good food. Highly recommended!

In my opinion it's too expensive and if you're going to charge high prices you should also have well-trained and polite waiters.

Very nice beer garden, unfortunately average to bad food and inattentive service at high prices.

Wir haben in Schwabing einen Biergarten gesucht, wo man ruhig und schattig unter Bäumen sitzen kann. Hier wurden wir fündig und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Essen, eine Kugel Obatzter und Schweizer Wurstsalat, war sehr lecker. Einzig der Service hätte etwas schneller sein können.

A quaint inn near the English Garden. The food is excellent, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

A picture-perfect beer garden with attentive and friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant with very friendly service. The food is good but not cheap. Very family-friendly.

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Munich! Perfect location right next to the English Garden. Good food and very friendly service! I keep coming back!

Friendly service, food very good

Very good food and high quality. Excellent service and a charming terrace.

Wir hatten per email und noch zusätzlich per Telefon einen Tisch für 4 Personen bestellt. Der Tisch wurde uns fest zugesagt, wir kamen pünktlich von auswärts. Im Restaurant stand ein ausländischer Herr, der uns sofort blockierte, da sei nichts reserviert, wir müssen wieder gehn, er !! ist hier der Chef, also so unfreundlich. Wir haben uns aber nicht einschüchtern lassen und bestanden auf einem Tisch. Und siehe da, im schönen Nebenraum waren 3 Tische ganz frei ohne jede Reservierung. So geht es nicht!! Atmosphäre sehr schön, Bedienung eine nett eine grantig und ungeduldig, Schweinebratengut, Entenkeule hart wie ein Stein, Blaukraut direkt in der Sauße, lieblos angerichtet. Schade, Lage sehr schön.

The best service I've ever had. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked and the side dish was perfect.

Schnitzel was very good and the service exemplary

The Osterwaldgarten at the English Garden is a Munich institution... Friendly service, good food, and a chic Bavarian restaurant!

Always delicious. The service is fast and super friendly. You can sit comfortably inside or outside. I've been going there for a long time and I always enjoy coming back.

Friendly staff, excellent traditional food, open at 11:00 if like me you are heading to the airport and need an early lunch!

Beautiful beer garden on the edge of the English Garden in Munich, daily menu and drinks together quite moderate for Munich, always worth a spontaneous visit.

A fantastic restaurant/beer garden with excellent service and hard-bitten, experienced staff. I'm convinced that at least 90% of the staff are chain smokers, otherwise they wouldn't be able to provide such great service. The food is excellent and arrives quickly. I'd happily return!

Can't understand the bad reviews, really everything excellent 1A quality great portions price-performance service top

Very good food and extremely friendly staff. This makes eating fun!

Very cozy inn with a beautiful chestnut beer garden / extremely friendly and competent service who do their job with passion / homely interior / very delicious food - absolutely recommended!!

Very good food; the Kaiserschmarrn was one of the best I've ever eaten. And the amount was so large that I really struggled to get it all in. The ambiance is very nice, and the service is friendly and very quick.

A lovely Biergarten next to the beautiful English Garden

Schlechtester Service ever, unfreundlich diese Dame und sehr schnippisch, eigentlich schon frech . Einmal und nie wieder. Umsatz 200 Euro zu viert, ab jetzt nicht mehr.

Worst service ever, unappetizing, unfriendly, unsympathetic, snippy, and almost unbearable. Despite the good food, not recommended; eating is a visual experience. Once and never again. Our spending for one visit was around €200, which we'd be happy to take to friendlier neighboring restaurants.

Friendly service, a pleasant atmosphere, and good Bavarian cuisine. What more could you want?

Always beautiful, especially when the chestnut trees are in bloom - a place with good, down-to-earth food, friendly service, and that certain something.

Tasty bitter schnitzel, fast and friendly service.

Very funny, bright and typically cheeky Bavarian service that you don't know any other way in good Bavarian restaurants. It was my first time with my family in the Osterwaldgarten and I would come back without question. The outdoor area is surprisingly large, well covered in case of rain and dogs are tolerated both in the beer garden/outdoor area and in the restaurant. 🙏🏽 4x roast pork with dumplings, crusty crusts, special requests and sauce were excellently served to our team. The vegetarian lentil dish must also have been very good according to fellow visitors. Anytime again, great location directly at the English Garden.

Very nice traditional German restaurant next to the English park.

So what can you say? A perfect beer garden in the immediate vicinity of the English Garden not far from Münchener Freiheit. The food is high quality and priced accordingly, no cheap meat! A dream for every palate who wants to get to know and enjoy Bavarian cuisine. We were there twice in one weekend and certainly not for the last time! The service: on the first day (according to the bill: Flo K.) something attentive and friendly, like from another world! He just comes over and asks if I would like some more jus with the dumplings, it's boring without sauce....brings it and says: "Now it's fun again!" Nothing appears on the bill.....and my wife's wine spritzer was immediately announced: "I'll bring some more ice cream, right?" So she could vary the ratio according to her mood. And also on the second day (Mike) was extremely friendly, very attentive and always with a funny saying! Conclusion: a traditional restaurant (since 1847) with an excellent ambience, great service and outstanding cuisine!

Très agréable établissement de cuisine traditionnelle souabe dans un jardin aéré. La cuisine est très bien exécutée avec produits frais de saison . Les portions sont copieuses et le service attentif.

Very nice and quiet beer garden right at the Englischengarten. The schnitzel is very tasty (I recommend the fried potatoes with it 👌). The Kaiserschmarrn is also very good and caramelized, but without rum raisins. The waiters are very friendly and the service is always quick.

Beautiful beer garden in Schwabing, just before you leave the town and enter the English Garden. Did it already exist when it was still a village and not yet part of Munich? Whatever the case, it's still a bit like the good old days here. Good food, but not exactly cheap.

Magical, original and incredibly cozy. Super nice service, top food and the “freshly killed” ones are a dream

Super delicious food and incredibly friendly service. Thank you, Maria! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Beautiful place, super friendly and attentive waiters and staff. Everything impeccable. What a shame that this time we went, the food wasn't as delicious.

Super tasty, we would love to come back

It's always beautiful in the Easter Forest Garden when the sun is shining!

Nice place for summer next to English garden. But 29.99 eur for a full Schnitzel like in the picture was absolutely overpriced and felt like I was being robbed. The meat was super thin. You can definitely find better food in other places. Beer, wine and food over priced for the quantity and the quality.

I have known the Osterwaldgarten for almost 60 years and I am happy that it exists and that it has been able to retain its original atmosphere. The food is excellent, the service is really outstanding and you just feel comfortable there. It's very cozy inside and when the weather is nice there's a wonderful beer garden. Duck and roast pork are excellent, but I find it extremely pleasing that there are now more interesting vegetarian dishes and that the cheese pätzle now also has a permanent place on the menu.

Very good service and delicious food! Any time.

Good every time. The team is always friendly and the food is outstanding.

Very tasty food Great waitresses

Nice Bavarian restaurant with great food and really nice staff. Always my pleasure......

A perfect place for a relaxed dinner. The staff was attentive and the dishes tasted amazing!

Das Essen ist von durchschnittlicher Qualität, die Salate ein Graus! Im Sommer für ein Bier, sicher ein schöner Ort. Essen würde ich aber woanders…
