Sto-Tavernaki bei Branka und Dimitri in Gröbenzell

I was there for a business lunch; the food was excellent and the staff particularly friendly. It's a quiet place with a very well-kept interior. The waitress is exceptionally friendly, and the chef is also a very nice person. The food is truly delicious, and the prices are fair! I'll be back!😌

I went there for the second time today. It was very good again. Best pizza in Gröbenzell. Excellent service. EDIT: We've been coming here regularly for three years. First recommendation for Italian restaurants in the Gröbenzell area. Check out the desserts, they're very, very good. 🤩

Good food, Italian cuisine, pizza and pasta. Simple dishes.

Sam's Cantine, a hidden gem tucked away on Gröbenzell's Olchinger Straße, serves excellent breakfast, brunch, and lunch. First things first, the staff is always friendly, warm, welcoming, and attentive to the needs of their customers. The chef, Sami, is a special character, a cross between a Shinto priest, James Bond, and Native American warrior. Sometimes you feel like a flying tomahawk isn't too far away! Don't worry, just kidding. Remarkably, the staff remembers if you like a cushion to sit on, or always order table water, what kind of coffee you usually drink in case you have special dietary requirements, and, of course, they remember your name. A family-run business that also treats its customers like family during their stay at the café. As for the food, like another reviewer, there was a single occasion when I didn't quite enjoy the food. However, one time out of 300 is, in my opinion, exceptionally good. None of us are always perfect, and if a chef normally cooks a certain way, just ask them to do it differently for you. If you don't ask, you don't get. So, almost always, breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee, and cake are delicious. Of particular note is the Murnau coffee, with the option of various plant-based milks, which is perhaps the most flavorful and perfectly prepared coffee in Germany—try it! Perhaps you're in the mood for a hearty cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, toasted cheese, fresh herbs, etc., or a cooked vegetarian breakfast. And then there are four different very tasty vegan-Ayurveda-inspired coconut muesli bowls with optional fruit and soy yogurt. If you have any special requests or dietary requirements, Sami will always try to accommodate them. The lunch menu is varied, with generous portions of Mexican, Thai, traditional Bavarian, Italian, and international dishes, catering to the diverse needs of customers, including vegetarian and vegan options. There's also a selection of salads and delicious organic steaks. My favorite brunch snack is the club sandwich, simply divine. And don't miss Friday, which is lasagna/burger day—a great choice served with fries or salad. Gluten-free bread and spelt bread are often available, as are always delicious homemade gluten-free, vegan cakes, as well as traditional delicacies. I could write an entire chapter on the cakes: I'd like to give special mention to Mama Renata, who baked some of the most delicious cakes I've ever tasted, and Magdalena's cakes are just as good. Kudos also to Susi, Nadja, and Sami, who also bake, create, and serve wonderfully. A good selection of non-alcoholic drinks, beers, and wines is available, as are regular music, dancing, and cocktail nights. If you'd like a bit of yoga to stretch, book one of Magdalena's Sunday yoga breakfasts; there's nothing more to say. Free parking is usually available on-site, which is great given it's a busy area. There's indoor and outdoor patio seating for you to enjoy, as well as a takeaway service. Finally, although I haven't tried it, I've heard they're fabulous at organizing special events, birthdays, parties, weddings, corporate events, and so on. Most days, I drive 20 minutes to enjoy this place, sometimes an hour. I wholeheartedly recommend it. They're very rarely closed on Sundays. Check Sami's website on Saturday nights to be safe.
