TAMBOSI in München

Service disaster. Waiting time for drinks: 1 hour Further waiting time for food: 1 hour. 15. Not recommended in any way!

Since the change of tenant I have visited Tambosi four times, most recently 1.5 years ago. The location is really great - whether on the terrace at the Hofgarten, indoors or with a view of the Theatinerkirche. Unfortunately, service was very slow on each visit and I had to ask multiple times to place orders. The taste of the food (pizza and pasta) was okay, but I didn't think it was good value for money. In my opinion, there are alternatives in downtown Munich with a better overall experience. It's a shame because the atmosphere has a lot of potential.

Better than average cakes and the location is great for people watching but the service was extremely slow and generally dismissive.

The good is soooooo yummyyyyyyyyy

Everything's fine, I'll visit Tambosi again and again :)

Waitress very nice, but boss with a pigtail, dark hair and a bit taller very unfriendly! Gave us the wrong food and didn't even want to exchange it afterwards. We were forced to pay even though we hadn't ordered it. Very poor performance for this price. Customer should be king! Not in every case, but if the order is incorrect it is. I wouldn't recommend it!! Very unprofessional behavior for this price. And the food is also quite ok and is definitely better in some cheaper restaurants.

I come from wide Ulm. Great ambience in a top location. From now on, every time you visit Munich, go to TAMBOSI!

I waited for the waiter for 40 minutes and in the end he didn't come

Horrible Mini Capuchino, €6.50, no water included, upon request: Nope. No service, arrogant, expensive but the sun was friendly and free. I still left the broth and left without a tip.

We once again had a wonderful evening at Tambosi. The service was extremely friendly and attentive from start to finish and the food was delicious, just like in Italy. Just a nice place to chat while eating and drinking well.

Came in, asked if they still serve food. They said yes. We sit down and order Pizza. Sorry, no Pizza anymore, at 16:00 again... Good itself was nice

Service very disorganized, ordering and paying takes almost an hour. It's a shame, it's beautifully located and the food looks very good.

Great food, incredible drinks and very nice ambience. An extra thanks to Nikoletta!

Nikoletta is super nice and professional, always happy again ♥️

We were seated relatively quickly. Despite two waiters, we waited 1 1/2 hours until we were served. Other customers were yelled at when they tried to sit down even though the entire area was clear. After 30 minutes we received our ordered coffee. No sign of our pizzas or water. They then said there were no pizzas, even though the table next door had eaten some!?! We then canceled the water, of course the waiter didn't know what water we were talking about. When we paid for the overpriced and bad coffee, we got stupid looks, which is why we don't tip for the service.

I didn't like, because Hot chocolate it was cold. But the dessert it was good.

Every time such a terrible service. Rude staff. Will not go there again despite á wonderful location.

I waited for half an hour and no one served me

Bad, worse, Tambosi. There is no need to say more.

The service at Tambosi is second to none when it comes to ignorance and arrogance. Even in a moderately busy restaurant it is not possible to be noticed. Even if you know it, it is always annoying to encounter such disinterested staff. Such a shame for such a nice restaurant with very good cuisine.

It has become very expensive and the service has become worse at the same time.

Arrogant and arrogant waitress who didn't want to take an order because she had "placed herself". There was no signage system to be found anywhere. Next to us she served her compatriots who had "placed themselves" after us. Very strange and incomprehensible We were happy to have our espresso and spritz in the neighborhood, where we were welcome as guests. Overwhelm due to a lack of staff is excusable, but something goes wrong when the staff gets so out of hand.

Always horrible service and rude waiters, AVOID!

Very rude waiters and bad service. Don't go there

Unfortunately, it is almost unbearable how the guests are treated by the staff. Nothing remains of the charm and quality that Tambosi was once known for. The service, especially Luna, seems unprofessional, listless and disinterested, and the allocation of tables seems to depend on the mood of the staff. You also have to expect longer waiting times when paying.

The waitress was very unfriendly. I went there with two friends, there were many empty tables, only a couple reserved and empty. We just wanted to be there maximum an hour and ask the waitress where we could sit. She didn’t even looked at us and said that without reservation she had nothing for us… come on… we were only three people and the place had many free tables… very disappointing!

Very nice place in the sun. Unfortunately there was no service, so many other guests left with us

The nightmare of every guest and manager. Empty tables outside kept free for regulars. Overbearing waitresses whose arrogance cannot be surpassed. The table of older guests next to us waited over 20 minutes for the bill, even though there was hardly anything going on. You can really save yourself the nonsense

Tables along the wall are almost all empty and in the sun. However, reserved for “regulars” according to the noise. If you want to indulge in the wannabe VIP nonsense, you've come to the right place

We had made a reservation a long time ago, when we arrived we were told in a very unfriendly, indignant manner that we were in the way and didn't let us have a say, after a long wait the person appeared again (displeased shift manager J. or Y.) when asked, Where was our reserved place, she shouted at us that a reservation couldn't be made and even when we showed the written confirmation, she remained unspeakably unfriendly and still didn't want to accept it - our recommendation: look for a job that you can has grown and where you have nothing to do with people - however, the service at the table was worlds friendlier, more personable and more attentive 😀

I have to wait for more than half an hour to get the bill. The service is generally not so good .

Very rude and lazy servis. Nevermore….

We were at this place in summer. I wouldn't recommend it. The service was what had impacted us most negatively. The waitress had made a mistake at least twice and on top of that she was not friendly at all.

AVOID TAMBOSI – Once Iconic, Now Disappointing The once-legendary Café & Restaurant Tambosi at Odeonsplatz has sadly lost much of its former glory. While the atmosphere remains charming, evoking memories of better times, the overall experience has significantly declined. The outdoor seating area, with its sensational views of Odeonsplatz, is still a great spot for people-watching, and the interior retains its aesthetic appeal and character. However, the tragedy lies in the drastic decline in the quality of food and drinks. Even the pizzas are mediocre at best, offering nothing special. Other menu items are overpriced and average, and the once-renowned cake selection has become uninspired and unremarkable. Worse still, all food and drinks are dramatically overpriced and offer no real value. The service is another disappointment. Aside from one attentive waiter and one friendly waitress, the staff are generally arrogant, unhelpful, and dismissive, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere that tarnishes the experience. If you visit Tambosi, it’s best limited to a coffee or a glass of wine on the terrace during the warmer months, where you can enjoy the location. Unfortunately, it is no longer a place for a pleasant meal or a recommendation-worthy outing. We once adored Tambosi – how heartbreaking it is to see the new management neglect the charm, style, and quality that made it so beloved.

Loud music, the waiter came in a white shirt that had holes in it and wasn't exactly the friendliest, the menus were dirty inside and some of the pages were torn, my pizza with arugula came undercooked and lukewarm, unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to tell the waiter, Since he was no longer at our table, I was very disappointed with the price/performance ratio, there is a lot of room for improvement. There are better places in town

Tambosi horny as always. Ema is always trying hard. Keep it up!! Would love to come back.

A restaurant on Odenplatz in Munich that I recommend The food is delicious and the staff are very helpful, especially the girl at the reception. It also includes drinks, coffee, and various sweets. I tried tiramisu and New York cheesecake. For lunch, I recommend potato and broccoli soup, and Caesar salad without chicken 💯💯👍🏻👍🏻 I recommend it as a coffee shop or restaurant 💯💯

"The Tambosi restaurant impressed us with excellent food and first-class service. The atmosphere was inviting and rounded off the experience perfectly. We would be happy to come back – absolutely recommended!"

People know that people pay for the location and tradition here. The cakes were quite good, but nothing special. But in an "Italian" café I expect a free glass of water with my coffee... which is not served. After a conversation with the very friendly waitress, it worked. There's no napkin with the cake either. A bit loveless and very profit-oriented.

Very child-unfriendly. The two of us with strollers (and a peacefully sleeping newborn) couldn't get a place on the terrace, even though there were numerous tables available without reservation signs and people in front of and behind us in line easily got a place. We also offered to leave the stroller outside and only take the sleeping baby with us - still apparently no space. The sun spot is great, but the rudeness of the waiters isn't worth it.

Today I experienced the worst service. The waitress came as soon as we sat down at the table and gave us the menu. That was okay, but the worst part was that she seemed very angry and immediately after a minute she came and asked us what we wanted and we said we need more time and then she left and after 2 minutes she came back we were still deciding but at one point we were forced to give the order with regret I say for a very excellent restaurant but unfortunately with poor service

The worst and most expensive ‚hot‘ chocolate that I have ever had. Too much milk foam made it lukewarm. When I complained instead of making a new one they tried to warm it up with even more milk. That for over 6 euro. Avoid!

I was very dissatisfied and found the waiters very unfriendly

Nice outdoor place in the afternoon sun. Half an hour wait for a drink and ignored by waiters mostly - who are too busy chatting to known guests. Would suggest hiring some more outdoor staff.

That was a very, very incredible experience, I always want to go back Everything was so tasty and the staff was very friendly

Terrible service. Dirty glass on the table, very slow to place an order, disinterested waiter. Reasonable food. Price too expensive for what it offers. I don't recommend it. There are much better options in the city.

DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT We were very disappointed by the service which left something to be desired (server unfriendly because we just ordered a hot drink) We ordered 1 cappuccino and 1 Heisser Kakaotrunk overpriced for the quality. What was supposed to be hot chocolate was just water with cocoa powder and a layer of foam on top. No chocolate flavor or creamy texture that are typical of these drinks. In a few years this institution in Munich has lost its prestige. Very unfortunate.

After being placed, the staff sends us away under a vague reservation justification. Not recommended

The people behind the var are great, especially Boris. There is a very pleasant atmosphere and you will receive quick and good help. The service and bar staff are nice. The drinks are very good and the cocktails are well prepared. Highly recommended.

Are you stupid... The prices even beat Salzburg. You get a piece of cake, here HALF, FOR MORE. You say you're not ashamed in the slightest. I'm testing my forum across Europe. I rarely experienced something like that. Pooh

Ideal in sunny weather for a coffee or a cold drink outside with a view of Odeonsplatz! Of course you pay for the excellent location and the staff is (too) busy although friendly, but every now and then you just have to enjoy the view and the atmosphere here.

...latte macchiato 6.70...cake 7.50...it's still ok🤔🤔🤔For these prices it's really not worth it here...the hot chocolate in my opinion. with powder and water for. ... the service was worth 5 stars.

We chose Tambosi by chance and later saw the many bad reviews that we cannot confirm. We were very satisfied. We were served quickly and very attentively. The food was appealing. The restaurant is really beautifully decorated.

In warm months, especially outside, a real Italian-French attitude to life: small tables with two chairs, a great panoramic view of the passers-by strolling around, how can you drink espresso in peace and quiet for a long time, inside a little tighter but somehow historically cozy

The food is very good👍 Service was also top 👍we didn't have to wait long, the service was right there with us And the pizzas 🍕highly recommended We'll be back

Overall: Unfortunately too expensive for the quality offered. The service and the ambience were very nice. Basically a super cozy and chic cafe/restaurant right in the heart of Munich. However, the prices are really expensive. E.g.: a normal-sized piece of cake costs 7.90 euros. It's tasty but the price is really not justified. That's why only 3 out of 5 stars for the food. - Likewise, the coffee is ok, but not so special that the price is justified. A small cappuchino costs 6.90 euros, is “only” from Lavazza and the milk foam collapses after just a few seconds.

The location is super. The view is gorgeous. I asked for FlatWite coffee, the waiter didn't say whether they had it or not. They gave me Maciyato 😂. I sat and waited for 20 minutes to order coffee. I understand that we have to wait. But not that much.

Overpriced. A very small (and not very good) cappuccino was 6,2€. The location of the restaurant is good though. As the house’s specialty you could also buy a 6L bottle of champagne with 31500€ haha.

Nicely renovated rooms, bad inattentive service, food is ok but nothing special and sometimes the dishes listed in the menu are missing when ordering.

Came across this place by chance for a quick coffee. We were assigned a place outside relatively quickly. When it comes to drinks, it can be said that coffee is nothing special. Over 6 euros for a cappuccino in a rather small size is an announcement - but so be it. The location is very exclusive and somehow that is also reflected in the price. What is not possible, however, is the outrageously brazen service. The black-haired waitress was quite annoyed. When we asked whether the heating could be turned on at our place, as was the case with the other places, she said that it was broken and it wouldn't work - we are welcome to change it. We asked her to pay a few minutes later. In the meantime, a colleague came and, to our surprise, quickly turned on the heating. When the waitress arrived with the bill, we pointed out to her that the heating was now on. She couldn't get more than an "oooh" out of it. Be that as it may - we wanted to go either way and now pay the bill and wanted cash payment. Of course, we didn't foresee a tip for this cheeky behavior and this is where the story began to take on grotesque features. The waitress seriously wanted to make us believe that she had no change and that we had €5.80 in small change. We looked shortly afterwards - no, we hadn't. Either she thought that we would let it go and leave her a tip of over 4 euros. But the lady really didn't deserve that with her behavior. After she repeatedly went looking for change and we were able to contribute a few cents, this farce was over and we left. She left without a word and we went on our way. With the warmest recommendation to avoid this store as far as possible. No more.

It's just tambosi nh, the food is good but it doesn't do justice to the price, you can always get a seat and the service is always polite

The waitress promised us that she would assign us a table. After a quarter of an hour and passing this service three times, we gave up despite there being 5 free tables. Probably failed facial inspection.

Miserable service, extremely incompetent, pure rip-off!!! Wanted to eat coffee and cake inside on Saturdays. Were sent out to the area in the courtyard garden. Then back in because there was only eating and drinking outside. Inside, the waiter said: “Now is no time for warm drinks.” At 2:30 p.m.??? I was so ashamed of this place by my guests and will certainly not go there again with my circle of friends under the current management.

Miserabel Service, reine Abzocke!! Wollten samstags 14.30 Uhr Kaffee und Kuchen. Wurden raus geschickt auf Fläche im Hofgarten. Von dort wieder rein, weil draußen nur essen und trinken möglich. Innen meinte der Ober: „Jetzt ist keine Zeit für warme Getränke „. Um 14.30 Uhr??? Dann wurden wir wieder weggeschickt!!!

We wanted to treat ourselves to coffee and cake on the outside terrace. After being placed quickly, it took about 20 minutes before we were allowed to order, then another 30 minutes until the coffee and half of the cake arrived. Coffee was only lukewarm. Complaining didn't help as the waitress was barely visible. The second piece came with a request for the bill after another 30 minutes. When we told the waitress that we no longer needed the piece or that it no longer made sense, the waitress became rude. You could tell she was irritable and overwhelmed. Apparently we weren't the only ones who canceled. Sorry, despite the beautiful location right on Odeonsplatz, unfortunately not a recommendation! Especially not with a child, who unfortunately also became increasingly impatient due to the long wait! We won't be coming back!

The greatest respect to the entire team for still being friendly and courteous in such stressful situations! Best restaurant in all of Munich!

One star is still too much… the worst was the service!!! Rude and cheeky

Cleanliness is a foreign word: the tap system and the bribe basket at the bar haven't been cleaned in ages: stains and streaks everywhere. The bar is so "cluttered" with dirty dishes and glasses that the bartender regularly knocks them over: smashing them instead of washing them?! The bartender doesn't speak German, uses pre-mixed drinks from plastic jugs and starts discussions when drinks are criticized.

Seating instructions were unfriendly, probably depends on the person as other waiters were quite approachable. Something should be readjusted here.

Terrible service for an overpriced fancy restaurant. Very loud and uncomfortable. Glasses are touched at the top, no smiles, unfriendly towards guests. NEVER AGAIN!

Goodbye but apparently overwhelmed even though it wasn't even remotely full. Eat solid Ambience nice except for two fogged up glasses.

We have been waiting for more than 15 minutes to a waiter. No one came to the table. Waiters seemed to be very reluctant to work and negligent towards customers. We got up from the table and left without anyone having served us. Don’t waist your time with this restaurant

If there were minus stars I would give minus 3. Completely bad service.

I ordered a coffee at 3:05 p.m. today, Sunday, and they told me that the machine was broken. When some friends were told to wait 5 minutes, I asked for a glass of water and they didn't even answer me. I hope Spaniards don't go.

I don't like it. Although according to Google it was open until 3am and made it clear that it closed at 1am. The rest doesn't matter, even what's on Google. For the removal service providers: on site on October 20, 24, 12:55 a.m.

the worst thing in a restaurant the waiters were all rude and despite being very slow the food never came i don't recommend it to anyone there are much better restaurants

Service disaster, tables dirty, just a total failure. Table was wiped with a smelly rag. Disgusting. There is nothing more than a bit of a central location here.

A nice experience, the atmosphere of the place is forgettable, but the food is less than normal. The best thing they have is pizza

Huge disappointment. We had the habit of eating half portion of gamberi which USED to be delicious, expensive, but delicious with hot crisp grissini sticks. First the grissini were cold and limp - ok, replaced immediately with newly cooked and hot ones. But the gamberi were not in a sauce - the tomatoes were cold and raw, no rich sauce, just gamberi without any taste, no peperoncino - a less than average sauce - 2 glasses of wine and a shared plate - Euro 65! Come on! Waiter offered compensation - we asked for 2 more glass of the same wine - were brought 2 glasses half glasses of completely different wine. I think the waiter tried his best - something has changed - for the worst. Shame.

We waited several minutes to get a seat. About 50% of the tables were free, other guests walked away after not being served. We left as well.

Unfortunately bad service. You wait to be assigned a table. Basically good. We stood in line with another couple, waited a short while and were about to be assigned a table. The server was talking to us when two new women interrupted the server, and these two were promptly seated ahead of us and the other waiting couple. We complained to the server, who didn't care, and left without consuming anything.

Ready to spare 15mins to queuing during summer. The outdoor area at Tambosi by the Munich Residence is beautiful, with lovely trees creating a perfect setting for outdoor dining. The service isn’t bad, especially if you crack a joke or two—it lightens the mood. Most things were fine, but we wouldn’t recommend the vongole. Unfortunately, we experienced food poisoning a few hours later, likely from not-so-fresh seafood. On the bright side, their garden spritz is super refreshing and worth a try. Stick to safer menu items, and you’ll enjoy the vibe!

Saturday afternoon, a cloudy day with some sun breaks in Munich (we are locals living in Munich): we are asking for a table for two outside. Without a lot of waiting time we are getting a table for two - all good so far. We then wanted to order a dessert and coffee, potentially also a snack/wine thereafter. The waitress explains us that there are no hot drinks today as "the machine is broken" - later our waitress confessed that the chef (of the day?) has instructed his crew to lie to the guests: the machine was never broken - but he did not want to have guests occupying the seats for "only a coffee" and therefore not serving hot drinks without the guests ordering a proper meal before. By the way, we ended up ordering a cold starter (priced around 19 EUR) and some drinks. The starter did not come (waiting for more then 35 min.) and we left after paying just our drinks (a beer, campari orange and water for EUR 30). At that moment we found out that others guests were served their hot drinks after they had consumed something else. Considering ourselves quite frequent fine dining guests, that have no issue to spend (a lot) on food and drinks, it is ridiculous to not be getting served something that is on the menu for "maximizing" the bill. Who lies to his guests, likely does not really want them in the first place! The worst service we have experienced in town for a very long time!

I used to enjoy coming here for an aperitif. But now never ever. A number of tables were empty, supposedly reserved. A sign telling you to speak to the staff if you want a table. Well, I tried that, but didn't even get an answer. Yes, then do your business with the Z celebrities with injected lips etc... there are also other nice corners in Munich.

It was a nice spot for many years, but now it's just a place to avoid, the service in particular is really bad. "Fun" fact : they are more motivated to harass Google to delete bad reviews rather than improve the service quality.

Unfriendly service unfortunately

After a long time, we wanted to have lunch outside in the sun at Tambosi again today. When it was our turn to be seated, we were told we had to go to the Hofgarten because there weren't enough waiters at the front. Since it was shady in the garden, we decided to go somewhere else (which was totally fine with us). When I noticed the guests after us being seated at a table in the front sunny area, I spoke to the waiter about it. He simply turned around and walked away. Simply outrageous. I used to enjoy going there; But that was definitely the last time because as a guest I don't have to be treated like that.

I was there with my son a few years ago. The prices are exorbitantly high, the service is poor. My son wrote 2 reviews that were deleted for "defamation". Well, then I have to confirm it again here.

I had truthfully reviewed a bad experience here from a few years ago and was now warned by Tambosi for defamation. Of course, this results in a new rating of one star - that's not how you treat customers. Instead of deleting criticism, you should work on your own quality!

When I was a student, the Tambosi was one of the pivotal points of my life: but then the bad news came that the Tambosi was closing and being taken over by "another Italian, God forbid, Hugo's". But now it's 2023 and you can only be grateful. The ambience has been preserved, the food and drink are formidable and, above all, the service is excellent. Just from the waiter Burak today, whom I can't thank enough, you can tell what a great service it is: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

VERY BAD SERVICE UNPLEASANT experience. RUDE WAITER, no clear instructions given to us when 4 of us went in. One of them ASKED US TO GO TO THE COUNTER to order, then the one at counter asked us to remained seated, and we raised our hands just to get attention so that we can know what’s going on and THIS RUDE GUY came and talked to us saying that he is busy!! big venue!! many customers!! he have many jobs to do!! with the rude, weird, judgy attitude to us… halo are you ok? If unhappy, please rest and don’t come to work. EXCUSE ME, is that my problem??! YOU can just tell us you will come back when you are free, we can wait. Because no clear instructions given. That’s why we try to get attention. HE IS JUST RUDE and not professional. Add on!! When we pay the bill, he asked : cash or card. THATS IT! NOTHING FROM HIM anymore, as a normal person can you say THANK YOU. It’s simple. No next time, thank you.

The location is fantastic, the food can be better as it was a bit salty, beer was the best and the staff could be more friendly. It was a nice experience overall.

We stopped for a snack during a busy sightseeing day. We had a beer each and ordered a snack tray that was a special offer for Oktoberfest. OMG! It was so good and huge. More than enough for two of us. Cheese, cured meat, liverwurst, salad, pretzel and bread. We left so happy!

Nice atmosphere, especially in the outdoor area in the courtyard garden. Unfortunately, the two hot chocolates we each ordered were absolutely unacceptable. They were completely cold when served. When we asked, we were told that the temperature was "lukewarm" and that it couldn't get any better. It seems doubtful to me whether the drink was even warmed beforehand. I don't have high standards for a café, but I can't recommend this one under any circumstances.

For tourists (and everyone else) : avoid this place like the plague. there are much better places in Munich for lower prices that actually have good service. The staff at the restaurant is acting like they are above us mere mortals that are “just” customers. Extremely rude, unable to communicate , and mind-bogglingly incompetent. 10 minute wait to be seated, ignored by staff actively and constantly. If you’re interested in overpaying for a crappy coffee that you will get in 30 minutes if you’re lucky, and getting treated like a second class citizen, it’s the perfect place. However, if you’re looking for a normal place where you will get a respectful service, I would recommend skipping this tourist trap.

Incredibly strange and unprofessional service.

Today I was there, however, and wanted to go to the toilet for a moment, but a blonde lady very rudely explained to me that there was a public one back there, no problem, but she would have been friendly, but this lady showed me the way in an extremely unfriendly and arrogant way. I will never eat here again go to the overpriced

How to artificially increase the rating of an establishment in Google? By proceeding like this establishment, i.e. by asking the platform to remove bad reviews from its customers. I therefore reiterate the assessment previously made on the quality of service, which if I judge from more recent opinions, has not taken the necessary measures to improve the quality of its customer relations.

The beautiful place is well located, the service is very bad, it takes a long time, the waiters are apathetic and slow, we waited more than 40 minutes to be able to pay the bill. Average price but not worth it for the service offered.

The waiter Cristian is amazing! He looked after us so well, we felt very comfortable and he was always professional. Looking forward to our next visit and hope Cristian will be there again! :) Thank you Cris!
