Zum Stiftl - am Marienplatz in München

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food and drinks were top-notch! Thanks for that 😍

The most beautiful spot at Marienplatz! 😍

Very tasty drinks and 30% cheaper than the bars next door

The black-haired male waiter on the street outside tried to cheat tourists out of higher charges, 20 euros for beer and coffee?

A nice corner just behind Marienplatz and still not noisy. Classic Augustiner, a bit heavy in the kitchen. Great kaiserschmarren.

Really delicious food. Despite the central location, the portions are really filling. The beer is fairly priced! Everything is top-notch!

Discriminatory Behavior by Staff I had a deeply disappointing experience here today. Although several tables were clearly available, a waiter told us there were none. Just a minute later, a white couple who arrived after us were immediately seated. None of the tables were marked as reserved. The waiter who spoke to us had a look of contempt, and the difference in how we were treated was unmistakable. If you're not white, be prepared for potentially discriminatory behavior. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable.

Actually quite good, but the 14€ currywurst (with fries) was really not good, it was a cold, thick hot sausage with little curry.

Maria is the best!! We spent our last day in munich at your place and Maria just made it unforgettable! We will visit your place next time in munich for sure!

Five of us spontaneously arrived and were given a quiet spot in the courtyard. The drinks and food were excellent, and the prices are reasonable for Munich standards. The Augustiner pale ale on tap is unbeatable. A pleasant visit away from the hustle and bustle.

Had a great waiter, Singh, who helped us with the German way of self seating, ordering and even gave us samples of drinks for us (augustiner beer) and the kids (lemonade soda). It is in a tourist area but if you’re hungry and tired like we were, right off the plane, it was a worthwhile stop.

A very quaint, cozy Bavarian restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The food was really good, although the portions were manageable. The service wasn't unfriendly, but a bit slow at times.

A very nice restaurant with a modern, rustic ambiance. The location (accessible via an alley on a side street off Marienplatz) also made it quite pleasant, with very attentive service. The Bavarian food was truly delicious and plentiful. (July 2025)

Yes. Very friendly service. Good food.

Cozy yet modern – a restaurant where you'll feel at home! Super-friendly service and owners. Moderate prices, especially for the white sausages in the morning. Highly recommended.

This is my second time here. 2023 and now. The food, the service, everything was top-notch. I can only recommend it.

Ordered 2 Wienerschnitzels and one was cold when it arrived. When this was pointed out they took it back and when it came back later it was reheated and burnt. Unfortunately this was handled sadly by the staff so I had to leave the place hungry.

Hearty, large portions of food, typically Bavarian style. Highly recommended.

Service is nice, food is good, 3.4€ for a glass of tap water is extortionate though, about the same price as bottled water at the airport in a restaurant…

Very, very nice staff, Branko and Sarah, quick, good food...tip top...can only recommend..

Very good restaurant, great atmosphere, and very, very good food. The value for money is very good. The service was a little slow at first, but it was worth it! Absolutely excellent.

Good shop, excellent service, reasonable prices. Waiter Vanilli is a 10/10. Very personable and very polite. @Cheffe: That man deserves a raise!!

Great brewery, very tasty food, good prices, good portions and super friendly

Yes, great food. The backyard is really cozy.

The place is kind of touristic because of its central location in the middle of Marienplatz. The sausages with potatoes salat and sauerkraut tasted flavorful and hearty. Though it was kinda heavy but we shared one portion so it was okay. The Kaiserschmarren was really good. Some pieces at the bottom absorbed more butter so they were sugary and wet, but they were still very delicious. I liked the plum dipping sauce more than the apple because its sour flavor could balance the creamy pancake better to me. Seeing people walking by while enjoy your beer was also joyful. But I had to wait kinda long to get my food and beer.

A nice Augustiner restaurant between Marienplatz and the cathedral with quiet outdoor seating. The food prices are appropriately high. The staff does their job.

The roast pork was very tasty. The Kaiserschmarrn, on the other hand, was a real disappointment. It tasted like it came from the frozen section at Edeka. The service was good.

Friendly service, but the food was abysmal. 13 euros for a single, cold, hard pretzel and a piece of dry bread with a dip. The café around the corner was 10 times fresher and better for one euro. The cheese spaetzle wasn't even warm enough. My rating might be different for other dishes, but I really can't recommend these two.

Looks nice, but is actually amateurish. Service rarely or never looks at you. We ordered two liters of beer and two hamburgers, where the beer was almost half full of foam. And then one burger comes reasonably on time but we are told that we have to wait 10 minutes for the next burger. At the end of course we had to pay the full amount and no sorry or excuse or anything.

Nice and expensive. Once and never again!!! The service was very good 👍 👌

The food was good. The restaurant has a rather modern Bavarian feel. The service seemed a bit unfriendly. There was a toilet attendant sitting by the restrooms, which irritated me because, in my opinion, guests are entitled to free use of the restrooms; you could give them whatever you wanted. The prices were reasonable.

Very cozy, the staff very friendly, and the food exceptionally good. Even without a reservation, we got a table without any problems. Munich hospitality at its finest 😀😀😀

Great shop in the spirit of a classic pub. Best beer at a great price, especially for the location. A visit is worth it. There are additional seating options outside on the street. Pay at the counter and take your order straight away.

Very nice restaurant with good Bavarian cuisine. We would have liked a slightly better price-performance ratio.

The location is really great. We sat outside and got a seat for 4 people without any problems. For dinner we had the three sausage variants with mashed potatoes, the children had 2 x currywurst with fries, and a Pinsa Rustic. It was just so nice. The staff were very friendly.

That doesn't happen often in Munich anymore: reasonable beer prices, nice staff, central location and a pleasant crowd. You can also stay longer than 2 hours 😉

Absolutely excellent roast pork! Highly recommended.

Location great, staff super friendly and accommodating. Not a big bar (no drinking hall or brewery), therefore quieter and no mass processing. Food very tasty and large portions (2 thick slices of roast pork). And the Augustiner beer with it is really delicious anyway. Reservations recommended. We'll definitely come back!!!

With one of the best roast pork in the city, a little hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Marienplatz, great service and ambience!

Food wasn't good. Unfortunately we didn't feel well the rest of the day...

I can recommend a very good guesthouse

Good value for money for this location. The roast pork with dumplings was eaten here. The meat was very tender and the service was friendly.

Cozy little restaurant, nicely furnished, service is nice, selection of food is not huge, but completely fine. Food tastes good, the price is okay, but the portions could be larger.

Excellent service, super delicious food and a rustic and beautiful ambience! We'll come back next time.

Spontaneously went to “Zum Stiftl” on a Saturday evening without a reservation – and the restaurant was bursting at the seams! We were lucky and got a table for two. The furnishings: modern, but with classic tavern charm. The noise level was correspondingly high – a real pub feeling. The menu is manageable, but offers fair prices. Particularly recommended: the Cordon Bleu in pretzel breading, hearty and accompanied by an excellent potato salad. And about the beer? No words necessary – just good! Overall, a thoroughly successful evening with an authentic atmosphere and home-style cuisine.

Very friendly service staff. Despite an unusually long wait and the information that it was "freshly prepared", the food was unfortunately not warm. It had to be returned and reheated. A glass of wine and a shot of schnapps as compensation was nevertheless a thoughtful gesture from the staff member.

So such a nice restaurant! Great service, super cozy and really delicious food! It was really nice with you, thank you very much!

Very nice service. The best Kaiserschmarrn I've ever eaten.

The Stiftl has a modern guest room in a traditional tavern style with light wood and historical pictures. The ambience is friendly and open, the light wood creates an inviting atmosphere. As a host at both the Wiesn and the Oidn' Wiesn, he knows his way around and knows that friendliness and speed are crucial for satisfied customers. Morning pints are absolutely possible with the Weißwurst for €3, the Brezn for €2 and a large selection of beers. A place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center, a little hidden behind the Donisl, in a small alley, which is right on Marienplatz.

Everything was top notch, friendly staff and fine food. Best regards from Zurich

Very tasty food Super nice service You can also get places at short notice

Food quite ok, beer top service relaxed

Worst service in a long time, normally doesn't even deserve one star. Let it sit for 20 minutes, but the next table was served. There was no coffee, the machine was broken. Nobody could make tea in the shed either... What's the problem with boiling water?

A small but cozy restaurant in a central location. Friendly service, reasonable food and good beer. The menu is manageable but offers something for every taste. Prices are fair and appropriate for the size of the portions. There are also a few nice seats outside, which are covered even in winter and protected from the wind thanks to their location in the side aisle. Thank you for the good evening with you.

Good day, I had a chance to visit the venue for lunch on 30 December at around 1500-16.00. It was 4 of us. Despite the fact that it was very crowd all around the city and also in restaurant (it was a small place), we get a tabel for 4 persons and it was comfortable enough. The quality of ingredients for each meal (incl hamburger) is definitely worth to mention. We had: Bayerische Käsespatzle, Burger, Cordon Bleu and Zanderfielet. Kasespatzel, if only you are in general not "against" , it is recommended by me. It was creamy and with proper taste of cheese without any extraordinary tuning that is not needed. My friend had a Burger and was also very satisfied with quality of meet and sauce. I had a Cordon Bleu and it was crispy and tasty with side dish being "tomato salad" but here in "2.0" version, with cucumber (pickled and fresh), grated carrot, chivas and sauce with proper balance of vinegar and oil. Fish was fresh and sauce served within was tasty, still light despite cream inside and we think with a bit of saffron. We had local Riesling wine and I took Augustiner Helles, which is the local king and goes with all possible food (including sushi :)). As mentioned the venue is not a big one and obviously loud in consequances, but still you feel comfortable and do not need to seat on the "back" of the others. Toilet is very clean and there were nice service team taking care that all is under control. The only "minus" was very long time of service, so if you want to have quick lunch- it is not the place. For 5 dishes, wine and beer we paid for 4 persons all together around 150-160 EUR. What is also important to mention: the food itself is described as "Bavarian", however I would say it is a mix of Bavarian and Viennese (not even Austrian), what makes it very interesting and to be honest is nice contract to traditional "Bavarian" food you can have in few "Keller" around the rated "Stifftl". Definitely recommended due to ingredients quality and taste of dishes BUT you need a bit more time to have a meal from A to Z with no rush. More for lunch than dinner. Lukasz

Very very unfriendly man who places there. We didn't even get to eat because we were shooed away from a table that didn't have a "Reserved" sign on it. At the entrance there was no INFO "please wait, they will be seated. Very unfortunate.

Really great in the sun in winter. Quite frosty afterwards 😅 The beer is, of course, great. I'm not a pretzel eater but these are really great! The white sausages are also very tasty! The service is quick and courteous, so full points here too 😁

Very good food, whether a snack or a main course; Top service, very attentive and quick. The Augustiner from the wooden barrel changed my life, I will come back at any time. 5 stars are absolutely justified, cheers. Best regards from FCB

Very tasty Bavarian cuisine. I ate the roast pork with potato salad. There are also alternative dishes. I also really liked the traditional atmosphere in the restaurant. In my opinion, highly recommended and worth a visit to Munich. Thank you

I waited for an order for a very long time, at the end the waiter began to shift responsibility to another waiter and did not bring anything, terrible service

We were there last Friday with 7 people. Friendly and attentive waiter. Main courses were all brought to the table at the same time. The food tasted very good. I had the Brauhaus Schnitzel.

Unfortunately a very fatty roast pork...

Very well attended (many tourists) Bavarian inn. Tasty food with good portion sizes and normal prices. Friendly and quick service. Bavarian coziness, albeit a bit hectic and sometimes noisy due to the high number of visitors

Anyone who only gives customers a blunt and unfriendly “full” instead of a “hello” obviously seems to be living like a maggot ;)

Very friendly team. Fulfill every wish. Sharing food if you don't want to eat that much isn't a problem either. Simply great...and of course the food is also very tasty.

Very nice staff. Even when the room is full, you can keep track of things. Very, very tasty food.

Very good restaurant. Good food and a relaxed place to watch football in comfort. Samir was also very friendly and attentive. We felt very welcome.

The restaurant is located on a “side street” and therefore has a cozy atmosphere. The food and beer were very tasty. In addition, the staff was very friendly and funny.☺️👍🏻

Many thanks to Samir and his team for my unforgettable birthday celebration. Everything worked perfectly, the food and service were great and my guests were totally thrilled. Anytime again👍👍👍

Cozy Bavarian restaurant with delicious food***

Great food, nice service. The schnitzel is highly recommended.

Good food, good drinks, best staff! Many thanks to the team 👍🏻

I just sat comfortably there (at Marienplatz) and drank delicious Augustiner beer. The service was very friendly and the beer was always nice and cold. There is another small beer garden in the inner courtyard. The restaurant is not particularly big but very cozy. The toilets could be bigger.

Unfortunately, very inattentive, offensively unfriendly service, it's a shame the food was good

At a prime tourist location like this, often the service and food are sub par. Not here. Valeria served us with a friendly smile, a chat and without a notebook. The food was really good and we had a great time here. Inside tip: At the back they have a smaller cosy terrace too.

Unfortunately the menu on site is different than online on the homepage. Should definitely be updated.

Top restaurant, great food, nice service. We were found in the neighboring shop (Hacke Pschorr Donisl) after several minutes Reception not served despite minimal utilization of 20%. And as a family we simply walked alongside us Augustitians. We were immediately assigned to a great table and served the perfect meal. There is another way 👍🏻 Thank you very much 🍻

Centrally located Very friendly service

Went with family, very loud, waited 45 minutes for food, service very inattentive (and it wasn't too busy). The food was rather expensive, the quality of the onion roast (€30) was mediocre, the potatoes weren't cooked through and we only shrugged our shoulders when we answered the question "I hope it tasted good". Tourist restaurant that doesn't value "coming back". Too bad.

At the beginning of October we ordered tables for 14-16 people at 6 p.m. on Sunday October 20th, 2024. This reservation went completely wrong. First our reservation was set for 8:10 p.m. even though we had confirmation for 6 p.m. Then we had to wait over half an hour for our table. Furthermore, we waited over 1.5 hours after our food order for the meals, which included sausage salad, Kasspatzen, mushrooms with bread dumplings and roast pork, goulash and onion roast. How can that be? The beef was ordered medium and came well done. The potatoes weren't fried well either. The sauce was, among other things, too salty. For the money I expect better quality than what was served to us. The 16 of us are very very disappointed because the food and quality was better at the Oktoberfest Matthias Landgraf 80686 Munich

I have tried the worst burger in my life there. The chef managed to ruin it in all levels - dry bun, burned patty impossible to chew, no sauce, no flavour. I don’t normally write any comments but this burger was like an insult for me that I couldn’t let it be. The atmosphere was nice and beer is good though.

Branco the most unpleasant person far and wide! Apparently you won't get very far if you ask something in a friendly manner with a slight Bavarian accent

Was there as an individual in the afternoon and still got a spot. Service: Service was very friendly and asked regularly if anything else was needed. Although there was always a lot going on and guests were turned away because everything was full, you weren't pressured to leave at all and were able to stay seated. If the beer was empty, you would be asked very promptly if you wanted to drink something again. Overall very attentive and friendly service. Eat: For dinner I had the Munich roast pork in beer sauce with dumplings and sauerkraut salad. The food was nice and warm and tasted very good, and it was also a good portion, so it filled me up. As befits the situation, there was freshly tapped beer from Augustiner, which tasted excellent and you could also tell that it was freshly tapped beer. This completed the meal completely. Ambiance: The atmosphere was very inviting and cozy, just as you would imagine a restaurant with Bavarian cuisine. Conclusion: I can recommend this restaurant to everyone, nice service, paired with delicious Bavarian food and an all-round inviting atmosphere. I would definitely come back on my next visit to Munich.

Very friendly waiters and great food!

The food was delicious, we had the noodles with cheese. The plates were very large and very filling, we could have perfectly ordered two for three. The waiters were very nice and took no time to serve us.

What a great little spot to feel like your old regular customers! We came twice during our short stay in Munich and would definitely recommend this jewel of a spot!

Zum Stiftl in Munich is a traditional Bavarian restaurant located in the city center, ideal for those who want to taste authentic local cuisine. The menu offers typical dishes such as pork shank, bratwurst and dumplings, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is welcoming, with wooden interiors that recall classic Bavarian beer halls. The staff is kind and attentive, always ready to recommend the best pairings with the local craft beers. A great place to immerse yourself in Bavarian culture, for both tourists and locals.

Very good food and incredibly good service

Just some people that were noisy and nosy! But everything ran excellent!

First class atmosphere. A warm atmosphere and super stylish furnishings. The staff is friendly. Whether for a quiet afterwork or an evening with friends, it is the ideal place to have a good time. Many thanks to Sophia, Samir and the entire staff.

We spontaneously had dinner there today with 9 people. The service employee who served us really made an effort to serve us and he was also very friendly. The drinks as well as the food were served at a good time, which is really tasty. I can recommend the brewery goulash with bread dumplings 😉 When we are in Munich we would like to come back.

Arrived at the door and saw empty tables. a waiter in Bavarian clothes asked if we were going to eat or drink. we answered we were only drinking. he guided us to a worse table in the back. after waiting almost 10 minutes I called him and ordered a beer. he refused to serve and said someone else would come, but didn't call anyone else to take our order. we waited a little more and decided to go drink somewhere else. if the employees here are not willing to take orders or ask someone else to do it, what's the point in having employees or expecting to have any customer?

Just had a drink, nothing to complain about, service came quickly, as did the drinks.

Waiter argues with guests and didn't seem nice to tourists... Staff should have hospitality and not treat them like that... Sad

The order was taken incorrectly, the waitress showed no insight into her own mistake and blamed the customer for the incorrect order.

I've been using km Stift'l for a little over 2 years now and I have to say it's perfect here. A good place to go in the old town to drink a good beer and eat. The service is top and Samir also guides, maintains and sets an example. And his team follows suit!!! And (almost) not to forget the most important thing. There is live football!!! For me it's a great catering business that's running so well, not least thanks to Samir and his good team!!!

After a long day of being a tourist, the terras out the back was the perfect place to be. The food, salmon and Hüttenburger, was served beautifully and tasted excellent. Waiter Branko is super friendly without being intrusive. I would give 10stars if it were possible.

Nice opportunity, also to have a drink. Close to the market, with a terrace outside. Staff friendly and up for a joke.

I had lunch here with my daughter (12). Super sweet and accommodating. Great food and very attractively served. I stupidly forgot my bag in the toilet - it could have ended badly, but a regular customer handed it over to the boss, who immediately took care of it personally 🙏🙏🙏. This resulted in a very warm conversation that I remember almost more than the food itself 🤭 I can only recommend this restaurant in the middle of beautiful Munich. 💝💝💝

We were served nicely here and the beer tasted very good. We didn't eat here and can't comment on the food.
