Schwabinger Osterwaldgarten in München

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…

Very good alternative to the beer garden at the Seehaus

My family and I have enjoyed coming here for years. Unfortunately the quality of the food is deteriorating more and more! Today I had a roast pork and it really wasn't good at all, the sauce was light and tasteless! Apparently it was the same chef as always, I asked the waiter about it... he obviously didn't care that I was dissatisfied! It's a shame, it used to be my favorite restaurant Food 0 points Service maximum 2 points 👎👎👎

Da ich in der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft zum Osterwaldgarten wohne, besuche ich diesen Gasthof in unregelmässigen Abständen seit Jahrzehnten. Was mich allerdings im Sommer 2024 bei meinem wahrscheinlich letzten Besuch schier vom Stuhl warf, war die Preissteigerung für eine Radlermass im Vergleich zum Vorjahr: + 2 Euro auf nunmehr 11,00 Euro, d.h.: exakt 22,2% mehr als im Vorjahr!! Auf meine Frage nach dem Hintergrund dieser exorbitanten Preissteigerung entgegnete der Kellner mit einem süffisanten Lächeln lapidar: "Das ist halt Schwabing". Und ich muß eingestehen: Da hat er Recht!

Very expensive! €5.60 for the coleslaw when frying 🐖 is a disgrace. 🍺 very expensive. Condition not particularly interested

Unfortunately I have to agree with the negative reviews: the quality and preparation of the food has deteriorated for some reason. Unfortunately, people now probably work with ready-made products in the kitchen. And you can taste it. This can be easily recognized by the allergen labels that are now mandatory next to the dishes on the menu. Unfortunately, these reveal (including the allergen statement “I” “grain containing gluten”) that in the Osterwaldgarten, too, all dark sauces from roast pork, goulash, Böfflamot, duck and onion roast are now mixed together with the same cheap Maggi or Knorr ready-made sauce from the wholesale market . Unfortunately, when it came to the dark sauce for the Böfflamot, the cheap instant quality was too noticeable and the taste was therefore absolutely not enjoyable. With relatively high prices, guests now expect appropriate quality without the use of finished products. The days when guests were content with instant sauces and meals are now over, with prices now averaging €25 to €30 for main courses and beer prices at €5.50. Unfortunately, the price/performance ratio in the Osterwaldgarten is no longer right for us.

We would have liked to stop there. But there is no indication of the closed days, Monday and Tuesday are closed here!!!! This should be pointed out. Hence this review, poor information policy.

Simply always good Bavarian cuisine. A joy every time. :)

Very rude service. The server added two euros on top of the bill (we just had two drinks) without asking for a tip and hid the screen of the card terminal so that I do not notice the difference

Wir waren schon oft in diesem Restaurant, leider war diesmal das Essen sehr schlecht., und ohne jeden Geschmack. Zwei Gerichte sind zurückgegeben worden. Die Zwiebeln auf den Käsespatzen waren noch das Beste an diesem Gericht, denn sie waren aus der Büchse. Die Reaktion: die Gerichte werden natürlich nicht berechnet. Kein Wort der Entschuldigung. Der Service war wohl überfordert. So war es garantiert der letzte Besuch, es gibt viele bessere Restaurants!

Cheese spaetzle wasn't that spectacular but the rest was particularly tasty. Friendly service. Prices standard.

Este es un restaurante bávaro muy tradicional. Buena elección de comida sin ser abrumador. No es comida elegante, sino sólida. Personal amable y eficiente.

Rude waiter and not good service.

Very crowded and very narrow! Never specify children with their own seat in the table reservation! We got the worst place right at the door to the toilet (6 adults and 2 children 7 and 5 years old). You can do it with families!!!! The service was very friendly with Asian understanding. We had to wait a long time for our food After I finally got my Boefflamotte due to a food mix-up, I was very surprised and disappointed, on the oval plate, hardened bread dumpling pieces, then red cabbage that was in the sauce and on top of that two thin slices with a slight fat edge, the Boeff! Such a disappointment for €25.00 I don't want to go into more detail about everything else... What a shame for Boxing Day. Maybe just bad luck? Anyway, a nice place all around with the beautiful inn building.

Fantastic food and super good service! I've been there a few times and would love to come back, whether with a large or small group! Onion roast is particularly good :)

Very nicely located beer garden, very friendly service and good food 🥣. We'll be back.

A good place to have a good German food. Service is great, location is nice and a quite place. Service personals are amazing and engaging with customers.

Ich kann mich nicht erinnern wann ich das letzte Mal so schlecht gegessen habe und das bei einem völlig überhöhten Preis. Die Leberknödelsuppe für 8,90 war völlig versalzen. Als wir reklamiert haben bekamen wir einen neuen Teller. Geschmack dann null nur praktisch mit heißem Wasser verdünnt. Ich habe eine Fischsuppe gegessen. Das war ein normaler Suppenteller wo nicht mal mit Brühe voll war. Es waren ca 4 Stückchen ( ganz klein geschnitten) Fisch drin. Der Rest war schon komplett zerfallen aber auch da nur geringe Menge. Die Flüssigkeit war eigentlich nur geschmacklich Glas mit Fischfond erhitzt. Keinerlei sonstige Gewürze nur ganz wenig Gemüse. . Der Scampispieß war trocken und kalt. Das Baguette wurde mir schon 5 Minuten vor der Suppe gebracht und war dann auch schon kalt und steinhart. Die Aoli war ungefähr ein gestrichener Esslöffel. So und jetzt kommt’s: für 22 EUR!!!!! Unverschämtheit Übrigens haben auch die 3 Herren am Nebentisch gemeint dass dieses Lokal sicher von ihnen nicht mehr besucht wird weil das Essen schlecht war und der Preis dafür völlig überhöht. Nie wieder

Very cozy restaurant; decorated for winter. Extremely friendly service. Definitely pre-order! Recommended: ox shreds, poacher plate and boeuf lamotte.

The Schwabinger Osterwaldgarten is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Great atmosphere inside and outside with a nice beer garden. You will be treated with great attention & friendliness. Great food with a delicious beer. I've been there several times now and would love to come back.

Unfortunately too cool to sit outside

Everything top and more! Cozy, very tasty and great team!

Delightful restaurant and outstanding service! Friendly, attentive, nice, helpful and fast. Food was very, very good, there were 15 of us and we still had a la carte. Up and down the whole map and everything was great. Prices surprisingly fair for the quality, portion size and city center. Definitely a recommendation and I would be happy to come back! Andrea Baumann

Super pleasant restaurant with very tasty food. The prices are adapted to Munich but are completely fine. Friendly staff who are always up for a joke, very refreshing. All around an absolute recommendation.

The Osterwaldgarten used to be one of my favorite hotspots in Schwabing... Beautiful outdoor area, right next to the English Garden, good Bavarian cuisine and always good and charming service But today it looks a little different, sometimes it's "okay" sometimes it's really disappointing. Dishes like duck or knuckle used to be legendary, but today they're just average It's a shame because the location is great and the potential is definitely there.

We took a relaxed hour walk from the centre of old town through the English gardens to get here, but there is convenient public transport right on the doorstep. Service was excellent, very helpful to non German speaking tourists. Food and beer both outstanding. We loved the venue and felt like we were locals for our time here. Definitely worth the visit.

Nice restaurant on the edge of the English Garden

The food was ok, the garden was very dirty, the condition was "always trying"

Disappointed after previous visits. Beer was good. Food not worth the price. Venison swamped in heavy sauce, spoiling flavour. Piece of venison steak was ok, if a bit tough, but triangular venison slices were bland. Knödel ok but the few mushrooms were soggy and tasteless. Sprouts were the best thing.

I had pheasant with tagliatelle for €27.50. Very tasty, but only two small pieces of pheasant; I think it's really outrageous, even for Munich. My wife had cheese spaetzle for €16.90. It was tasty and the portion size was OK. Beer 0.5L on tap was delicious (Spaten Hell), but not topped up to 0.5L. There was a cleaner in front of the toilet collecting money. I didn't give anything as a restaurant visitor and didn't receive any negative comments or anything like that. Service very nice.

Good food, very friendly service, nice atmosphere

Unfortunately there is no relationship between price and performance! It was always expensive, but at least the quality used to be right. 4 out of 5 meals didn't taste good

Great food, in a wonderful atmosphere with the best company!!!

Great staff, delicious food and good location right next to the English Garden. We were served by Maiwand, thank you

You have to have been...Sissy's father often came here...

Wir waren am 15.10.2024 gegen 15 Uhr zum Kaffee trinken im Osterwaldgarten. Und da wurden wir von einer weiblichen Bedienung betreut, die unfreundlicher nicht hätte sein können. Kein Grüß Gott und immer nur pampig. Ich sage nur „heiße Liebe mit Sahne“!!! So was habe ich noch nie erlebt. Wenn man keine Freude an Menschen und vor allem an Kindern hat, sollte man seinen Beruf an den Nagel hängen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall nicht wieder.

Delicious food. Very friendly staff.

Rustic, typical Bavarian restaurant with a shady, beautiful, quiet outdoor area. Food very good, regional specialties, service very efficient

It's said to have good food and as long as you go with Schweinebraten you won't be disappointed, but don't experiment...

Away from the hustle and bustle of Oktoberfest.

Bavarian cozy economy world class service the food phenomenal just great. I'm already looking forward to the next visit

Food was good as always. Prices have gone up but today that's to be expected.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case today. Dishes served differently than stated on the menu, corrections not made. Main dishes and side dishes not tasty, unlike the last visit.

Went here on a recommendation for good Bavarian cuisine. Half knuckle 19.90 was so dry and the crust was tough that I could only eat about half. The second meal was a small schnitzel with fried potatoes (19.90). Schnitzel tough and fried potatoes not crispy, but salty. You can't score points with me like that!

Very quiet place to taste Bavarian cuisine. We really liked the food and above all I recommend ordering the kaiserschmarrn for dessert (spectacular). The only thing that shocked us a little as it was the first restaurant we went to in Munich was the price of water (€8) and that the waitress added €6 to our bill (we imagine it was the tip for the service). However, we would repeat on this site

Tolle Location, lecker und supertolle Bedienung. Fabelhaft, Witzig, sehr charmant und aufmerksam. Sie hatte sogar mein Doggy Bag aufgehoben, als ich zuerst vergessen hatte es mitzunehmen .

Typical German restaurant, with wooden tables and traditional food typical of the country. I ate very well there, although the dishes were a little expensive

Little gem hidden from many tourists - quite empty on weekdays during the day. Food is good, service professionally fast. Friendly place.

A rather not so nice waitress in the beer garden who comes to the table every 5 minutes and asks if you can take something with you. You feel very watched and can't enjoy your time there at all. The quality of the food has also decreased. We enjoyed eating here, but won't be coming back!

Good atmosphere. Service it is what it is…

Very good German cuisine. They have the best dumplings.

Beautiful beer garden in a great location by the English Garden. The service guys were very nice and accommodating. But the food was a disaster. Schnitzel was over-fried on one side. Bread dumplings in mushroom sauce inedible and very tasteless ;) Kaiserschmarren not cooked through, mostly huge, half-raw lumps. The portions are small and at a high price. 2 stars for the food because of the attractive presentation.

Great beer garden on the edge of the English Garden. Honest, down-to-earth Bavarian cuisine.

Food is average but too expensive. There are many other local Munich foods places with better food and lower prices. Service didn’t pay attention at all and we needed to ask for a menu and order ourselves. The garden is lovely though. Biggest minus: an expensive, nice restaurant shouldn’t have a cleaning lady/man standing in front of the restrooms and pulling for a tip. Please pay them better and ensure a good atmosphere! Nogo!

Impeccable. Not cheap, but definitely worth the money. By that I mean indoors, and not a white sausage breakfast.

Nice restaurant with a beer garden, the lighting in the restaurant was too dark for me

Nice beer garden, food not cheap

It can happen that as a waitress you flounder and sink, but the shift manager could have at least been present and kept an overview

Goat cheese salad was too expensive for the quality (23 euros). Not a good salad, soggy, too much sauce, little taste. But very nice service!

A nice beer garden in Schwabing. You sit totally comfortably and comfortably under old trees. Good, honest Bavarian cuisine. The Obazda with the bread is a poem. And the homemade Kaiserschmarren rounds off the evening perfectly. The service is friendly, attentive and not at all intrusive. Special requests were also implemented without complaint. The Osterwaldgarten is definitely a must on every visit to Munich.

First evening in Munich, time to check out those much-read beer gardens! Unfortunately it just started raining really hard and this was the first place where we could take shelter, but it looked nice so we decided to just sit there. Two minutes later, two delicious half liters of Weissbier are on the table and the party can begin! After much hesitation, the wife opted for the Wiener schnitzel, I opted for the goulash. Both were served by the extremely friendly waiter in generous portions. The goulash was extremely tasty, so tasty in fact that the woman became a bit jealous and wanted to taste it no less than three times. Fortunately, I received a piece of Wiener schnitzel three times in return, so I can say from my own experience that the schnitzel was also very tasty. Afterwards we ordered two more half liters of Weissbier, enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in the restaurant and finished with a well-deserved tip for the friendly waiter. Auf wiedersehen!

Great inn right at the entrance to the English Garden! The employees wear dirndls and lederhosen and are very friendly. The decor is very authentic and the menu has great German options. Everything tasted delicious - I would recommend the meat dishes as the meat is very tender! There are also vegetarian and vegan options.

A party of 4 - we each tried a different dish and they were each excellent. Authentic Bavarian dishes that did not disappoint. Service was also fantastic!

Price/performance: 8/10 Taste: 8/10 Ambience: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Veggie: 7/10 Service partly partly, could be friendlier to super accommodating and nice. Food was good and was delivered quickly to 15 people. You can definitely have a good time here.

Full of memories in this type of typically Bavarian restaurant. Alright. Very friendly and efficient waiters. Close to the Chinese tower: you will eat better there

Sitting in this beer garden is still very nice. However, we were disappointed with the quality and presentation of the food, especially since it used to be much better. Our impression is that prices go up and little emphasis is placed on quality and presentation. There is no longer any coleslaw with the roast pork, which has to be ordered and paid for separately, and with the schnitzel there is a slice of tomato and lemon. They are between the side dishes, not even on a lettuce leaf. The waitress and her Austrian colleague were very nice. We won't be coming back anytime soon, maybe we'll visit again later.

Bedienung befindet sich überall überlastet. Wie sie damit umgehen ist maßgebend. Lieber hier aushilfen durch gar nicht zu kommen.

Gestures we were again faced with the question: roast pork or Wiener schnitzel? To settle the argument, the two of us ordered a roast pork and a (small) schnitzel. Only this time we couldn't agree on which was better! Our joint verdict: Roast pork and Wiener schnitzel have never been so good! Please don't let the chef go! And there is no nicer place to sit than in the shade of the chestnut trees in the garden. The service was, as always, charming and quick. Thanks!

Waiters a bit unstructured and had to wait a long time for the menu and drinks. As compensation there was an apricot schnapps on the house. Otherwise nice atmosphere in the English garden and very tasty food. The schnitzels were very good :)

We had heard a lot about the Osterwaldgarten, and a friend reported generous portions. Everything tasted really great! Unfortunately the portion was outrageously small. I was very hungry and specifically ordered the giant butter schnitzel. €22.90. When it came I was very disappointed. A giant schnitzel that doesn't even think outside the box? I've never seen that before. When I complained, all I said was: "It's man-made and therefore always different sizes..." and "that would be completely normal". I was then charged €2.50 for the extra cranberries (mini mini portion). A pity. I generally pay a little more for a nice location, good food and good service. In this case unfortunately not satisfactory. Come again? Rather not...

The food here is fantastic. Decent portions anyway, which is normal in the region, but above all everything tastes excellent and the quality of the ingredients is top. Unfortunately I made the mistake of trying the roast pork the third time. It's just way too good, I won't be able to try anything else in the future. Photo may follow next time :)

Very nice and nice restaurant with a cozy beer garden. The food was great, the innkeeper and staff were very welcoming and definitely worth a visit. The location directly at the English Garden offers the opportunity for a walk or something similar with the family.

As always, it was a pleasure to come here. The Osterwaldgarten impresses with its friendly and fast service. Everyone is in good hands here, regardless of whether you just want to eat a little something or want to have a really hearty meal.

Directly at the English Garden, beautifully located beer garden. It's very comfortable to sit under tall trees. The food is very good. The portions are manageable and the prices are reasonable. Despite the high number of visitors, the service is very good.

Great to eat in the beer garden. Right near the English Garden. The food is great, the staff is very friendly and attentive. We only know the beer garden, I can't tell you what the restaurant looks like from the inside.

The food was very good. Prices adapted to location. Nice waiter, nice location.

Wonderful, clear beer garden. Quiet with very friendly service and delicious food. Definitely again on the next trip to Munich

Delicious, cozy and fairly priced. A beer garden as it should be!

After a pleasant walk through the English Garden north from the walled section of Munich, you'll feel relative relief from the crowds that are a signature part of that section of this beautiful city. A quite pleasant atmosphere and outstanding service are the things I'll remember most about this place. I hope to return!

Great spot, good food and service, good place to seek shade in on a hot day

The dishes taste good but unfortunately they are very small and very expensive. The location is good, but unfortunately the ambience is not as nice as the prices suggest. The sanitary facilities in particular are in need of renovation. Unfortunately the waiter was very unfriendly.

The quality and selection of Bavarian specialties is exceptionally good. Top service and nice shady spots under the chestnut tree. English garden around the corner. Beer garden doesn't get any better than this.

Nice service, delicious food, top

Despite the waitress's efforts, it was disappointing: Out of 5 waiters, only one was actually working. However, they were very friendly. Ordered ox strips with fried potatoes and bacon beans from the menu - got tough meat with röstis and warmed vegetables. 34 euros absolutely outrageous for this! “Heiße Liebe” was the cheapest “vanilla” ice cream with what tasted like warmed jam and not hot raspberries. We won't come here again.

Today the three of us sat and ate in the beer garden entrance area. Afterwards we all smelled like fried fat. The extractor hood should be cleaned once. What is that! Staff was nice and friendly. The food, especially the Wiener Schnitzel, wasn't necessarily the best. A pity..

Good portions, especially the Kaiserschmarn is the final boss. Friendly, friendly service and dog-friendly. Nice beer garden atmosphere.

Great atmosphere inside and outside. Unfortunately we thought the service was horrible (very rude lady with short blonde hair) and the food even worse. I ordered a meal that was meant to have steak, pan fried potato’s and green beans with bacon. Instead I received frozen chopped up vegetables and ready made/bought potato patties accompanied with a sauce that was clearly not fresh/home made.

Very nice garden and good food.

The food was mediocre, the sauce from the roast pork was prolonged, the meat was warmed up, the service was attentive, the sayings about vegan food (it would taste good with a little minced meat, or announcing the food as medium rare when serving) could have been avoided. With the clearing up when eating at the table, village economy is like, if the prices were the same, you could understand it. It's nice to sit in the garden, the inn to the left of the entrance looks something like a train station hall, there's always someone walking around, but it's nicely decorated.

Were there on Thursday. Great food! Service excellent Great atmosphere So overall great 👍

Everything great! Please continue 🤩

Very cozy, warm atmosphere and very tasty food, I can only recommend it
