Five stars for Pizzeria Palinuro!
It was our first time dining there, and we had a great experience. You immediately feel at home in the cozy, Italian-style atmosphere. The waitress was always attentive and friendly. The pizzas were excellent, and the owner even stopped by briefly to check on us.
In the end, we were pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable price. We had made a reservation beforehand, which was definitely a good idea because the place was packed!
We'll definitely be back! 👍
I recommend the waffles, they are always delicious! You can take a basic waffle or upgrade it with different topics and fruits on top. The home made lemonades are very fresh, the coffee is also very good. I love Bundys, it is a perfect spot near Karlsplatz
On October 4, 2025, the three of us visited the Useful Things restaurant in Tegernsee for the first time – and were pleasantly surprised three times over.
1. First impressions – shop or restaurant?
Upon entering, I was initially unsure: Is this a modern corner shop with fine kitchenware and select wines – or a small bistro with big-city flair?
In fact, it's both: a lovingly designed retail space with a few, but stylish tables and chairs "Made in Germany," meticulously set and adorned with fresh flowers in small vases.
2. The kitchen – small, open, masterful.
The second surprise: a tiny open kitchen where the chef puts the finishing touches on the à la carte dishes. A rare sight – but also a sign of craftsmanship and confidence in their own kitchen.
3. The menu – ambitious and authentic.
The third surprise: a menu that can easily rival even the most discerning gourmets.
Diverse, thoughtfully designed, and with a culinary confidence that truly impresses.
...even before we arrived, we were served bread with refreshing herb quark and marinated tomatoes – a thoughtful amuse-bouche.
Starter: a coconut curry soup, perfectly balanced in both flavor and texture. And I mean truly perfect – I don't say that lightly.
Main course:
An authentic Swabian roast beef, cooked to a juicy pink, with beautifully caramelized onions.
Served with hand-cut Spätzle – a classic from the region, masterfully prepared.
The dark sauce? Cooked by a true expert, as it turned out:
Chef and sole cook Jürgen Kaul is originally from near Stuttgart. You can taste it.
Dessert: a delicate orange semifreddo with fruit – small, refined, and a fitting finale: an espresso with biscuits.
The service? Warm, professional, sophisticated – and never intrusive. Kudos to the friendly waitress who, with her attentive eye, keen sense of style, and a smile, created a thoroughly pleasant atmosphere.
In short:
More than just a surprise – Useful Things is a charming place where food is cooked and served with heart and skill.
That's why we give it our highest rating.
We'll gladly return.
Best regards,
Peter Fuchs
We drove there just to look through the window and see that the restaurant was permanently closed. There is a mattress in the hallway and the dining rooms are empty. Why is this nowhere?
Had the venison goulash and a side salad. The meat was tender as butter, and there was so much sauce on the plate that you really needed a spoon... Truly excellent! The waitress was very friendly and relaxed. And considering there were only two of us working, everything went wonderfully smoothly 👍🏻
We were there for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised. I had a Wiener Schnitzel, my wife had roast pork, both very tasty. The owner is very friendly. The restaurant is simple but clean. We felt comfortable and will gladly come again!
