Zum Stiftl - am Marienplatz in München

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!

I can recommend a very good guesthouse

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

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 🍻

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.

Centrally located Very friendly service

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.

Top service, super friendly is rare to find. Very good value for money, large portions.

The food taste was OK, but waiting for 50 minutes for a Wiener Schnitzel is totally unacceptable. When the food finally came, it was without absolutely no sides like fries or mash potatoes or anything else that was offerer when the food was ordered. When we asked for a bread, the waiter said that we must wait some time because they are baking it. When he finally brought the bread, it wasn't hot. It was dried like it was left outside to dry out. The person next to us ordered the same food, which did have mash potatoes. Please avoid this place because Munich is full of great restaurants.

Zum Stiftl is a traditional Bavarian brewery located in the heart of Munich, offering an authentic experience for those looking to enjoy the region's beer culture. With a large and pleasant terrace, it is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a good beer, especially on sunny days. The food at Zum Stiftl is typically Bavarian, with a menu that includes classic dishes like schnitzel, sausages, pretzels, and potato salads. The quality of the food is consistent with what is expected from local cuisine, with generous portions ensuring you don't leave hungry. The value for money is reasonable and aligns well with the area's overall offering, making the brewery an attractive option for locals and tourists alike. Service is another of Zum Stiftl's highlights. The staff is friendly and efficient, offering attentive service that perfectly complements the cozy atmosphere of the place.

A little hidden, good dishes served, friendly staff, pleasant environment.

Great! It started with lukewarm food!!! But the waitress took the plate away straight away, and 5-6 minutes later there was a fresh plate with fresh hot food on the table. In addition, there was, sorry, a delicious schnapps on the house. Mistakes happen. Everyone is human, but here they were ironed out straight away and a little on top the service was very friendly, very helpful, very nice and on the ball. It's something you enjoy experiencing and something like this is recommended!

It's a very cozy place. The food is delicious and they give you a big portion. And the service is nice.

We were there again yesterday and are simply thrilled. For the first time we were there during the European Championships, which means there was a lot going on. Nevertheless, we received a very warm welcome. Even when changing tables because it was starting to storm, the service was totally friendly and helpful. Despite the stress level, the mood was very relaxed and we got into conversation with some of the employees. Even on the second visit with more people, the service was again top. The food is really of great quality and the price/performance ratio is absolutely right here. Changes/special requests are also no problem. 1A to the kitchen A huge compliment to Samir and his entire staff. You do a great job and we love coming back every time.

Good Bavarian restaurant on Marienplatz, friendly service

Delicious Bavarian food for a super fair price at Marienplatz.

Ambiance is very good. Ordered three dishes, two of which came very quickly and the third only after a 45 minute delay. The service is inattentive and bad-tempered.

The food is terrible, the pretzel was cold and hard and so is the pizza. Please save your money and at somewhere else, there are much better places around here. I came here with a friend and the server forgot to bring our food until it was cold.

As a tourist from the US the pretzels are terrible. They are cold and hard. The service is bad. Probably the worst pizza Ive gotten in the 5 countries Ive backpacked. Only good for their beer.

Food cold, small portion, service overwhelmed, food not particularly tasty either

Good little restaurant. excellent beer

Thanks for the meal ! We arrived a little late but they still served us. Very nice staff, good quality/price. I recommend !

Nice restaurant, delicious beers and Bavarian delicacies. Nice personel.

Asked if they can serve me fast, they told that all the food is ready within 15 min. Waited for more than 15 min, asked waiter several times but she just left several times even though responded and I showed that I’m ready to order. Looks like they just don’t have enough staff.

Had a roast pork. It was super tasty, huge portion for a very good price. Service was excellent Would love to come back

The location is of course great and the prices are ultimately okay (half 4.50). The price/performance ratio is right. However, I wanted the meat loaf to be warmer and when it comes to potato salad, I'm pretty sure it wasn't homemade. Both were good in terms of quantity and taste-wise, but nothing for an above-average rating. What I always find stupid are these little mustard sachets of 10g each. What might be okay with fast food can be avoided in classic restaurants. There will be reasons. The service is fine, friendly, not too slow, that's fine.

Cheap and delicious lunch €10.90, nice staff, would love to come back

So-so. The service was a bit inattentive. The half was badly poured (2 fingers below the line, but still not OK for €4.60). When asked, the drink was refilled, but after that the service noticeably deteriorated. The cordon bleu and the potato salad were delicious, the lemon slice was already needed (buahhh). So I personally don't have to come here to eat again. A pity...

Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm and the onion roast was almost too tough to chew.

My husband and I happened to be there for the first time on Friday and were really pleasantly surprised. We both had the schnitzel and it was one of the best I've ever eaten. We sat outside at Marienplatz and the location is of course beautiful and central. Despite this, the prices were very reasonable and the beer was almost cheap by Munich standards. What impressed me most, however, was the service. We were greeted and served very nicely by a young, blonde lady. Your black-haired colleague brought us the drinks. Both were very accommodating. Even in the restaurant itself and on the way to the toilet, every employee smiled at me and helped me straight away. Because of the great atmosphere we stayed longer and drank a few beers. The only negative comment would be that I felt like I had to pay money to use the toilet even though it wasn't mandatory. This seems rather unusual to me for a restaurant, but may be explained by the large number of tourist visits.

Disaster, even after 15 minutes there was no service The dirty dishes stood on neighboring tables for ages

Very cozy restaurant in a prime but quiet location. Top price-performance ratio. Onion roast and sausage trio are highly recommended.

Extremely disappointed. The worst veal schnitzel ever. Cheese spaetzle without taste. Service prefers to watch football.

I was at lunch with the children. We waited too long for the waiter. We waited even longer for the food. When I asked for the paying, the waiter tried to cheat us. And I asked for the bill, he excused himself ineptly. In the end, he returned some of the money, but the impression is very bad. I would never visit this restaurant again.

We ate schnitzel and vegetarian pizza, and were ordered 1 liter of beer. It cost 49.20. The food was delicious but 20% above the German average.

The food was simply brilliant and the beer price was unbeatably cheap for Munich standards 👍👍👍👍👍

We ate there twice in one weekend. The restaurant is modern but comfortably furnished. The staff was very friendly and accommodating on both days. The beer prices were great at less than €5 for a pint. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Price-performance is very good. We'd love to go there again when we're back in Munich.

Nice bar, prices okay, staff friendly, facilities clean.

The best white sausage, very nice staff, perfect service

Liliana and her colleagues are the best!

It's quite a cozy place. Goood service and atmosphere. Special thanks to Liliana.

We had dinner there after a long day. Ambiance was very modern. Despite the sometimes cramped seating, you felt quite comfortable. We were served quickly. Cheese spaetzle and children's schnitzel were tasty. Plates were very overloaded. Hüttn Burger with fries was a complete disaster. I was really looking forward to a juicy burger with crispy fries. But unfortunately I received a completely overloaded plate with limp fries that tasted like nothing. The burger also didn't taste like anything and the burger patty was unfortunately hard and dry. Overall I was unfortunately very disappointed 😞. The waitresses sometimes seemed abrupt and we had the feeling that we were being handled. That's why I decided to do an internet review.
