Zum Dürnbräu in München

Beautiful inn in the middle of Munich. Good cuisine. Very friendly staff. Good price-performance ratio. I can only recommend it.

Super expensive for what you get, the good was salty and the service was ok i guess for Bayern

Quaint inn away from the crowds, highly recommended. The main courses were very tasty and reasonably priced (for Munich). For dessert there was freshly prepared Kaiserschmarrn - a delight! The service was attentive and very friendly, we felt comfortable. We'll come here to eat again on our next visit to Munich!

13 January, 21:00. Terrible schnitzel (with upper layer separating from the meat) for 30 something euro. Is it a joke? Usually it happens when you first freeze and then warm them up. The waitress didn’t ask if we need a separate or combined bill and simply brought a combined bill which couldn’t be changed. Extremely loud inside, you need to shout to be heard. Will never visit again of course. Tourist rip-off.

Highly recommended. We were greeted very warmly, even though we arrived at the restaurant much earlier due to the cold. The waitresses were extremely friendly and accommodating. We felt very welcome from the first second. Food and drinks were very tasty (roast pork, sausage salad). We had a lovely time in the restaurant and would be happy to come back on our next visit to Munich.

Nice typically Bavarian restaurant, on a human scale and with friendly service. Special mention for the ham which was, against all expectations, a real culinary discovery for me, so different with its crispiness from what I had tasted before.

Delicious specialties in a Bavarian atmosphere.

I found this restaurant by chance, as we couldn’t get a table at another restaurant. What a gem this restaurant is. The food and beer were so delicious, we came back for more to try other dishes during our visit. The service was also very good and efficient. It’s busy on the weekend, but weekdays should be ok. I highly recommend the pork knuckle :).

Very nice and quaint restaurant, a bit hidden, but much more authentic looking than the other large Bavarian chain restaurants in Munich. Top friendly service. There were no long waiting times and we enjoyed good, traditional Bavarian food. We really liked it.

Duck was crispy, side dishes were tasty, Kaiserschmarrn was delicious

A dinner with friends with great food - always top quality for decades - and the service is fantastic, very friendly and professional. We would love to come back. Thank you very much.

I was at Dürnbräu two years ago and I was pleasantly surprised to be served by Bavarian-speaking service staff and because it is simply a nice, cozy and rustic restaurant. But back then I only drank something. Since we were traveling in Munich with a group of 5 people about a week ago, I suggested stopping here again and this time getting something to eat. We were spontaneously offered a table and were served quite quickly. The beer was as it should be and the food was brought to the table quite quickly. Our waiter was quick and friendly. Unfortunately, the sausage salad was a disappointment in terms of taste and there was no trace of vinegar. Since our waiter hadn't been there for a few minutes, we politely asked a colleague to bring us vinegar and oil so we could season it. She then replied in a brisk tone: "Hello, I'm not serving you at all!". Then she went towards the tavern and said “What an idiot” relatively loudly so that we could hear it too. It's an absolute disgrace to talk like that about a guest who really politely asked for vinegar and oil. At least she passed it on to the waiter who was responsible for our table. Unfortunately, he then brought us balsamic vinegar and olive oil, which doesn't necessarily belong in a sausage salad, but since the waiter was more from North Germany, he may not have known that. It didn't matter to us then. The rest of the food was very good, the two schnitzels and the bread roll were highly praised. The portion of the latter was so large that we divided it up a bit. But even then we couldn't handle it. Maybe I'll go there again, the thing with the sausage salad can happen, and the whole restaurant can't help it if a waitress misbehaves. Fortunately, there are also enough alternatives in Munich.

I ate at this place during my lunch break. Nice place in the center in a slightly distant street. Very fast service which is perfect when you don't have much time. I ordered the cordon Bleu and asked for it with spazles. All very good. I must say that among the places where I ate spazle in these two days these were the best. Truly exquisite. The soft cordon bleu is also good and tasty. The wine they brought me (an Italian primitive although I would have preferred to try a German one) was also very good. Punctual and friendly service, very kind waitress. I recommend it!!

It was our first experience with a restaurant of this type in Munich and it remained in our hearts, probably also for its käsespätzli and other dishes. The service was jovial and fast.

Cozy restaurant, also because of Oktoberfest. Nice meal.

The waiters wear typical Bavarian costumes. Very well decorated. Spectacular food and service.

The food is very good but the waiter is a tremendous gilt, they don't give you a clue

Good place to try some typical dishes from the area. We went without a reservation and they treated us well. 2 main dishes with very generous portions, 2 beers and two sausages cost us about €30 per person. Good quality.

We found this restaurant by chance, a really quaint restaurant and the food was really good. If we are in Munich again we will definitely come back 😎👍😋

Very good Bavarian brewery. Fast service, hearty dishes!

The “Zum Dürnbräu” is a charming, comparatively small inn that is located a little away from the hustle and bustle of Platzl. This gives you a better chance of getting a table even without a reservation. The atmosphere is authentically Bavarian and rustic, just right for lovers of traditional cuisine. The service was mostly attentive and we felt well looked after. Unfortunately, our positive impression was marred by a service person who made it clear to us in a rude manner that she was not responsible for us. Such incidents are a shame and leave a bitter aftertaste. The cuisine, on the other hand, is convincing across the board: the dishes are delicious, rich and exactly what you would expect from a Bavarian inn. Definitely no one goes home hungry here! Overall, “Zum Dürnbräu” is worth recommending, especially because of the food and the cozy atmosphere. However, some fine-tuning of the service would be desirable in order to perfect the overall impression.

Food very tasty!! Portions could be a little larger.

Loved it so much we came back twice! Super friendly service, delicious home-made food, good beers, and cosy atmosphere. Had much more of a local vibe to it despite being in the middle of the old town.

Typical Munich dishes, they only accept cash for payment

Love the Munich dinning experience at it’s fullest potential here

The waiter was very enthusiastic. My German friend recommended me to eat Schweinshaxe, but the chef put too much salt and it was really too salty🥲

Great Bavarian restaurant. You'll sit with other people on a long table but that's half the fun! Delicious local food. Menu available in English.

Classic and hearty traditional German food with a great selection of beers. The service is what you could expect from a traditional German restaurant - abrasive but somehow fulfills the basics. The atmosphere here is truly amazing - as if traveling back in time and sitting at an old school traditional brew house. All in all, I would still recommend the place for the ambience and food.

I'm tired of writing bad reviews so just this info: Baked chicken from the deep fryer and not baked in clarified butter is poor. It's slipping down my back.

My reservations were canceled, a month after they were made and so was my friends. So two families left without tables on a very difficult day (years first). Sent an email for explanation, no answer back. I suppose they got money from someone else to book the tables. Don't book, your reservation is not guaranteed.

Although we did not reserve a table, a place was found for us. The food is very tasty, I have never tasted such delicious beer. Service at the highest level. If I will be in Munich again, I will definitely visit. Cozy like at home!

In conclusion, I absolutely do not recommend it!! The food is ordinary but edible. I made a reservation, but I wasn't very satisfied with the fact that I had to sit at a long table in the center. Because I saw two other people sitting at a private table, and even though there was an empty private table, I was not very satisfied with the long table that I had to share with others. Because it guided me. Still, I think it can be done up to this point. However, the worst event I experienced while living in Germany for about two months happened the moment I paid at this restaurant. The older male waiter was friendly until he took my order and served the food. However, as soon as I checked the receipt and paid by card without including the tip, my attitude changed. As soon as he finished counting the cards, he threw my cards on the table. Since I couldn't pay a tip with the company's corporate card, I intended to pay for the food with my card and tip in cash, but he was impatient and had no manners to respect the guests. I really hope the waiter reads this review. After living in Berlin for two months, I traveled to Munich and I have never met a German like you! Please keep in mind that because of people like you, the image of Germans and Germany is ruined. For a penny of only 2 or 3 euros, you have ruined someone's afternoon and ruined the reputation of the country. Because of you alone, I never recommend this restaurant. Dear future prospects reading this, my episode today may be a rare experience. But the truth is that it happened to someone. There's no guarantee that it won't be you. I am very curious to see what kind of feedback this restaurant will give. What kind of conscience does the owner have?

Had on October 30th. Reserved for Christmas dinner on December 22nd. Dad Dürnbräu canceled the reservation without comment via Quandoo 23 hours in advance and thus threw all our plans out the window... crazy. We'll all definitely never go there again.

Great location. Friendly staff. Food was great.

We made reservations on a Saturday night and would absolutely come back. A large menu, we opted for Sauerbraten and Schweinehaxe, both of which were delicious. A warm and vibrant atmosphere with friendly service, an easy recommendation!

Typical ancient Munich brewery. Very good and very typical food, obviously excellent beer!

Amazing authentic Bavarian food in a traditional pub setting. Pork knuckle meat was tender and juicy, skin was nice and crispy and a little thick too. Our waitress, who was a Colombian lady who was super nice and spoke English, recommended the liver dumpling which was also delicious if you don’t mind a little gamey flavor in your dumpling (meatball). Don’t forget to make reservations!

Lemon beer is delicious I can’t understand sausage salad. Pork chop is good The butterfly cake is very hard and salty

For me it's an old, cozy Munich restaurant, a bit out of the way and therefore (today) no tourists. Had a roast young pig - world class. Normally I always have something to complain about, but this was really tender, tasteful and enough for the low price (these days). The coleslaw was also very tasty. The Spaten Hell comes from tap and had to be tested twice 😉Only when something is going on you have to take a seat at the long table, I would have preferred a table but still, I got a very good impression

The food is excellent. The knuckle and my cheese spaetzle tasted very good. For dessert we wanted Kaiserschmarrn, which apparently couldn't be prepared. However, Kaiserschmarrn was served at the next table. We were amazed. The next day at lunchtime we got our Kaiserschmarrn, even from the waitress the night before. What can I tell you... world class. The best Kaiserschmarrn we have ever been served. Why not just like that...

Super nice and fast service. When visiting Munich, this restaurant is simply a must. Great food at fair prices. Many thanks again to Marion and her two employees. Keep it up.

Nice of the staff let us stay without reservation until the time the table was booked. We had the schnitzel and sauerbraten and would recommend both.

Bavarian ambience and cuisine. Very nice staff. Cozy and traditional, but not too touristy in Munich. Very nice

Festive and noisy environment, the warm welcome allows you to share tables with other diners. Carpet service despite the crowding. Bavarian food is excellent and the portions are generous. Tasted soup, the classic schnitzel and fillet, all excellent. Only the strudel is nice to look at but a sufficient piece boiled in the microwave

Typical German cuisine. Very nice place and in a central but quiet area. Classic menu, the dishes are good. Prices are average for other restaurants in Munich. Advised

The food has to be experienced to be believed! Simply great. There were 3 of us, everyone ate something different, but we were all more than satisfied. It was tasty!! And the beer served was good too.

Delicious Kaiserschmarn. After a soup at the Viktualienmarkt, I treated myself to a Kaiserschmarn and one or two delicious Spaten with my wife. And boy, what can I say?! A stunner! Super tasty, nice and fluffy but with a crispy edge, delicately served on a pan with powdered sugar. But be careful: what we Rhinelanders know as a dessert is served here in the size of a main course. Thanks to the second spade and sufficient fluid intake, we successfully managed the Kaiserschmarn. The service was courteous, friendly and quick. The location is a bit hidden in a cul-de-sac, but is nice and smaller than other breweries. This means it's not so busy and overcrowded. We liked it!

The Dürnbräu is a rustic pub right in the heart of Munich. You sit amiably between the woody walls, drink a half of Spaten and eat a hearty piece of pork

Nice location and apparently very good food...BUT: We reserved a table for the restaurant and visited the restaurant, but ONLY to drink, which didn't seem to be a problem at first. It was only when we were paying (after about 2 rounds of drinks) that the waitress pointed out to us in a very unfriendly manner that an order for FOOD was also mandatory and that in our case they were simply making “an exception”. For us, who from the beginning explicitly came over just to drink and were never told that it wasn't ok, this came across as a bit surprising and bold. One could easily have mentioned in a different tone and much earlier that only guests who also consume food are welcome - regardless of the amount of drinks. We definitely mean something different by “Bavarian cosiness”, so we will undoubtedly take that into account on our next visit to Munich.

Great Kellerbier. Pork knuckle was good but think the meat could have been more tender compared to others I’ve enjoyed and the crackle had gone slightly stale as lacking the real fresh crunch. Overall, it was a nice meal.

Great food, great dumplings, best apple fritters!!!!

Dürnbräu is a fabulous Munich brewery. The atmosphere is rustic, cozy and Bavarian. The staff exceptionally attentive and empathetic. Since I am a big fan of Kaiserschmarrn, I order this dish wherever possible. But the Kaiserschmarrn at Dürnbräu surpasses all others. It smells great, the dough is crispy, the raisins are soaked in rum and the whole thing is dusted with powdered sugar - a real treat. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Munich and then of course to Dürnbräu 👍

Lovely place indeed with so many locals! Even with my broken German the staff was super friendly and polite, definitely recommend visiting☺️

Mega nice restaurant, we were able to get a table on Saturday evening without making a reservation, very friendly service and delicious food, we'll definitely be back, thank you ☺️

Wonderful food! Great staff! Top atmosphere! Highly recommend

Gladly again. Good food and very friendly service.

While the Kaiserschmarrn was delicious, the rest of the food was not to our taste. However, the worst part of our visit was the attitude of the blonde woman working there. We had been traveling for 24 hours, exhausted and with an early flight the next morning, so we just wanted to pay and leave. Unfortunately, our waiter was busy with a large table of 20 people, and we ended up waiting for a long time. When I approached the woman to ask if we could pay, her response was extremely rude. She made faces and told us we had to wait for our waiter to finish. This lack of understanding and basic courtesy was unbearable, and we ended up waiting another 20 minutes just for the bill. The whole experience left a sour impression of Munich for us. I’m very sorry we chose this restaurant—our evening was completely ruined. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Authentic delicious atmospheric recommend

Very hearty and very good meal you really have to be hungry, just a little disappointed by the waitresses who don't have a smile..

Very good local restaurant. I would really like to go back there.

Correct, as expected... absolutely recommended.

Good food and amazing beer in a cool place. Just amazing. Thank you.

I was here with a customer and unfortunately everything was reserved (which is now necessary everywhere) - we still got a place from the very friendly waiter. Even though there was a lot going on, he didn't let it bother him - great! The food (we had browned meat loaf and the cold roast) was good. The atmosphere is rustic Bavarian. The prices were also ok for Munich.

Delicious traditional Bavarian food and beer. Small place, you get to seat next to strangers by large tables. Recommend 100%, try the Munich Schnitzel.and Cordon Bleu

RECOMMENDATION: Incredibly delicious food, great value for money, portion just the right size & great service and fast service with Heidi

Excellent Bavarian cuisine in authentic surroundings

Went for a beer, when the girl that was serving me saw that I was only having a beer She started talking in a despising tone. When I went to pay for the beer, she Said that the minimum amount to pay with card was 20€ (although She neverr mentioned it before) and was super rude because I had no cash. Terrible service

Quick and friendly service, delicious pork schnitzel and Nuremberg sausages. Portions were okay for the prices. Except for the water, which was a ridiculous €7.5 for .75 liters. Guess that's how they treat the non-bear drinkers LOL

The portion of pork knuckle is so large that one person can never finish it. This store allows you to experience authentic Bavarian cuisine, and the store staff is also very friendly. Highly recommended.

A reliable address for years. I'm happy to go here with a "non-Bavarian visitor" because I've never experienced a failure. ❤️

Always beautiful. Excellent service, great food.

The beautiful Bierhalle in the center of Munich offers large portions of regional dishes and delicious German beer. We went there spontaneously and without a reservation, hoping for luck and a free table (we did!), but unfortunately some guests had to wait a while to be seated. I recommend ordering the special dish of the day (ask the waiter), although other dishes on the menu will probably delight every lover of good, meaty German cuisine. We will definitely come back there for pork knuckle 😉 also try stronger alcohols - it's worth it!

A lovely little place off the beaten path, but very center city. We stopped in for a beer and a snack after walking around the old city. It was mid-afternoon, so very quiet, but good service and we enjoyed our snack. The menu seems to be a collection of traditional Bavarian dishes and what we saw pass us on the way to other tables looked tasty. A nice way to take a rest from our tourist activities.

I came here twice during my brief stay in Munich! 🇩🇪 Local friends told me it’s a great choice. Loved the food, beers, service and vibes - if you want a vibrant evening and be in the midst of locals’ conversations, this is the place!! Many thanks to servers Armin and Philip for their excellent hospitality!! 😀👍 Will come back. Highly recommend. Favorite items: red cabbage and pork knuckle!! 😋

This is how you imagine a brewery and beer garden, good hearty food and good offerings. A little hidden and that's actually a good thing.

Rude waitstaff. They just stared at us up and down upon entering and waiting for someone to seat us. I heard one waitress half-chuckle in a rude way while briskly walking by and a little after that one male waiter just looked over and shook his head at us, signaling that they wouldn’t serve us. Nobody spoke a word - we just knew we weren’t welcomed. There were open sections and spaces for seating so unless they were understaffed (and it didnt look like they were) that shouldn’t have been the problem. No reservations doesnt seem like a good excuse. Instead of snorting at us like pigs they could have just lied and told us “sorry we are too busy.” Really wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a standard display of good ole racism. Definitely won’t be patronizing this place ever, reservations or not and regardless of how good [people say] the food and beer are.

Great tip away from the big, touristy breweries!

A location with a very nice atmosphere. The service is quick and very friendly and is also available for a bit of fun. The roast pork could have been a little warmer/hotter. Although I'm not a slow eater, it was a bit cool towards the end. Given the current temperatures, it would be better not to leave the door open to the outside. Dürnbräu is a beautiful, rustic location where you can feel good.

Very good food. The roast pork was super tasty, the service, a Portuguese, was very friendly, funny and nice. It was very good, we would like to come back

Kaiserschmarrn is delicious dipped in applesauce, and the pig's knuckle skin is very crispy. The clerk will come to ask how the meal is from time to time, and the restaurant has a good atmosphere.

My favorite schweinshaxe! A must stop every time I come to Munich! High quality traditional and very tasty! Definitely worth a visit!

We had this place pointed out to go to eat. After a long day we arrived and luckily we got a table without having to wait. We were treated very well by Filipe who recommended several dishes that were excellent. We ordered the roasted pork and Nürnberger. The pork was very tasty and came with a ball of potatoes which was good. The salad was delicious. On the other hand, the sausages with sour kraut were spectacular and came with excellent mustard. To close the night we ordered the apple strudel with ice cream and two coffees, the strudel left us speechless, I would eat 38 more. 🤣 The restaurant is very beautiful to look at and I repeat, Filipe's attention was excellent, always with a smile and encouraging us to have an excellent evening. Without a doubt the best place we have eaten in Munich. I recommend it without hesitation! Thank you very much Filipe🙌🙌

Second time here and it's still a hidden gem

Wonderful experience! Randomly stumbled into this place with my buddy. Was sat down at a table with other folks. We don’t speak German but the folks were kind and the food was out of the world. Great family experience and wonderful food!

Traditional atmosphere with a strong bavarian touch, the food was absolutely divine, and the servers were very nice.

Cozy restaurant with cheerful waiters and fantastic food

I went to the brewery for dinner with a colleague on a Tuesday following his recommendation and I really wasn't disappointed. It was a pleasant atmosphere and we really liked the food as it arrived quickly after we ordered and there was enough quantity. I can highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat well away from the tourist hotspots.

You can't go wrong here as a tourist. We were there with 4 adults and 2 children, the service was very nice. We also really enjoyed the food.

The four of us went to Dürnbräu on Friday without a reservation. After a short wait we got another place and were looked after very nicely, thanks to Heidi. 🤗 The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere at the large, long table was great. We will definitely come back next time we visit Munich.

Rustic brewery with good cuisine and lots of tourists. Highly priced. Nice quick service.

Very cozy inn, nice and attentive service. Young pork roast was very tasty and recommended, half a pork knuckle tasted good, the crust was grilled until crispy, but there was a thick layer of fat underneath. The side salad was large, various fresh salads, great dressing. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine. Tip: Be sure to reserve.

Traditional German food! This place is off the beaten path so it's still possible to get a table during the busy season. Some of the servers speak English and are willing to help you pick something on the menu. Outside seating is an option for the perfect pairing of food and atmosphere!

Great spot for dinner, friendly staff, and delicious food!

A very nice traditional restaurant with good Bavarian cuisine. Compared to the other large restaurants, it has a pleasantly quiet atmosphere in which you can also have a nice chat. Service top!

Heard great things about this place and decided to try it out since I was in the area. The food did not disappoint - I had the Schnitzel which was cooked to perfection, and better than most place in the States. I want to come back for their pork knuckles, which I have also heard great things about.

Were on October 14th. for lunch. Absolutely good quality and taste, and that's not often the case. Service very accommodating. You just felt comfortable. Hence this review. Come again.

Our favorite beer garden in the city center

Excellent place, we were surprised and although we did not have a reservation the service was excellent and the typical homemade German food was divine.

Tasty and cozy, service - a little lack of attention to our table)

It was very tasty, the waitress was a bit strange but in the end it was very nice, the food was generally good except for one meal it was cold and inedible but would still come back
