It was an extraordinary evening at Atelier Gourmet! We had the 5-course menu with wine accompaniment. The dishes were all very carefully prepared and tasted really impressive. The ingredients used are high quality. The wines served went very well with the respective dishes and the two ladies in service were very attentive and courteous and rounded off our great impression of this restaurant.
Conclusion: We will definitely come back.
Sweet and sour chicken for €9 for lunch, far too expensive for the quality. The pieces of chicken were millimeters thin and baked in a centimeter thick breading, so little meat and a lot of fatty breading. The sweet and sour sauce was as thick as glue (too much binding agent) and tasted exactly the same, the rice was neither crispy nor grainy, just the way it shouldn't be.
The interior 0-8-15, a bit stuffy, despite ferns it was more of a drinking hall than a restaurant. For a little more money you can get a lot more from other Asians in the corner.
Service was quite ok.
Here you can find everything that makes a great visit to a restaurant:
- a really chic and casual atmosphere, both inside and in the bar
- Food at an incredibly high level: e.g. yesterday again the classic starter Artichoke (you can hardly get any better in Munich), or the ceviche. The main courses were also consistently great, from fried chicken to burrata - everything was great. And also desserts like the NY cheesecake with a carmel sauce to die for.
- very good drinks: from sparkling water to aperitifs to cocktails, e.g. the Pisco sour
- A service from the operators that couldn't be more relaxed, even when the shop is buzzing
- And therefore a really great value for money
Small and impressive
The service staff was very friendly, my food was ready quickly, and it tasted absolutely delicious. The Kaisertea is definitely recommended and also serves as a dessert since you can eat the goji berries and other ingredients in it. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. There's parking available on the street, so it's easy.
What’s the benefit of having a big family? Apparently, it means you’ll always get good reviews. Otherwise I could not understand the good reviews.
The first impression you get when entering this restaurant is that something’s missing. It seems like they ran out of money before they could afford any proper decoration. The room feels empty and unfinished.
Next, you’re greeted by a rather unmotivated waitress who, in my opinion, reminded me the service at the bakery on a train station. Not friendly, no smile, and absolutely no interest in the guests.
To be fair, the shorter waitress was friendlier — a small but noticeable difference.
But the surprises don’t stop there. As soon as you open the menu, you’d think you’re dining at a high-end Italian place on Brennerstraße. The prices are steep — dishes start at €16, with pasta over €20.
It gives off the impression that the owner wants to turn €1 of ingredients into €22 profit.
It’s a shame, really, because you actually look forward to the food — but then comes the next surprise: the food itself.
When ordering fish, no one even offers to prepare it properly.
The pizza bread was crispy and tasty — we had the one with tomatoes. But the Spaghetti Marinara were a disappointment: overcooked noodles and ingredients that tasted like they came straight out of a Metro pre-packed bag.
The Penne with four cheeses tasted more like Penne with one cheese and a lot of milk.
