A beautiful alpine pasture, accessible more or less quickly and easily from many directions, and therefore always quite busy.
Lovely details around the house, the chickens dart under the table in search of crumbs while you enjoy the view.
And, above all: a great little menu, including homemade cakes and excellent juices/spritzers, friendly service – an all-round successful visit.
You can also buy authentic souvenirs from the alpine pasture to take home.
This year, according to the notice board, it's open until October 20, 2025.
Unfortunately, this is the second time we've had a bad experience. The meat wasn't good on our first visit; I found the quality abysmal. The second visit was even worse. The meat tasted musty and unpleasant. The grilled calamari was, again, rubbery.
We're going back to Poseidon in Lindenberg. The quality and service there are worlds better. The chairs are much more comfortable, too.
A fantastic location for eating, drinking, and relaxing. A very laid-back atmosphere, especially now during Advent. Great service and very friendly staff. 100% recommended.
Why the overall concept of a restaurant should always include music!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to enjoy Restaurant Jan in Munich as part of a business invitation, and I'd like to share my impressions.
With its 3-star rating, it's known beyond the region and is certainly an institution in the Munich area as well. Therefore, my review here doesn't offer anything fundamentally new beyond the expected, extremely high level of hospitality and culinary creations.
My personal impressions are intended more as an encouragement to embrace the 3-star dining experience, even if you haven't yet had the chance to experience it.
In my opinion, the premises themselves strike a successful balance between the high standards one would expect at this level and the need to be welcoming to newcomers.
You feel well taken care of and looked after. The restaurant is, in my view, just the right size—it shouldn't be any smaller, in my opinion.
The open kitchen and the wooden fixtures create a wonderful atmosphere, especially since you wouldn't guess it from the building's exterior. The owner and chef visited our table, and it was immediately clear that passion and a drive for perfection are the foundation of their success.
Now to the most important part: the food. In my opinion, Jan Hartwig and his team more than lived up to expectations.
All the courses were expertly and creatively presented, and the service team served them with friendliness and flair. The often delicate presentation of the dishes can easily lead one to underestimate the amount of food consumed in an evening like this, and by the end, there was hardly any room left for dessert, which was also nearly perfect. I certainly didn't miss the traditional cheese trolley.
Since our colleague had us select the wines for us, I won't comment on them. However, those with a discerning palate will, as expected, find something to their liking or can ask the team for recommendations.
In short, a refreshingly youthful and well-balanced experience that will definitely draw me back to Munich again.
These dishes were presented in a unique and engaging way, and will certainly entice me to return to Munich more often. In conclusion, I'd like to explain why the music perfectly complemented what was already a perfect evening for me.
Because, naturally, an experience of this caliber includes not only the food and drinks, but also the ambiance. And unlike other sectors where sound is used deliberately, in many restaurants it seems rather arbitrary.
Not so on this particular evening in Jan.
The background music pulled me out of the comfortable slumber I had begun to feel after the delicious food and wine, allowing me to experience the overall concept much more consciously.
It was a sound that came from the speakers at just the right volume, perfectly suited to my age group and musical taste, and with its rockier edge, it was a welcome departure from the often-used "lounge music."
I discovered some evergreens from my personal "Best Of" playlist, which allowed me to reflect on and process the experience between courses in my own thoughts. Of course, without taking my attention away from my tablemates.
As a result, I had a truly uplifting and immersive experience that went beyond the actual dining experience.
For me personally, the music played a significant role in the overall concept without distracting from the essence of the meal.
I'm sure many other guests didn't even notice or experience it, but for me, that made it all the more enjoyable and special.
I don't know if that was intentional. If so, I thought it was fantastic and would like to congratulate Jan Hartwig and his team on this "composition."
I will certainly experience and "listen" to it again on my next visit!
We were invited to a 70th birthday party and were completely satisfied with everything. Thank you again for making everything go so smoothly. The pumpkin cream soup was fantastic, and the beef fillet was cooked to perfection.
Solid Italian cuisine without the show, but with substance.
Bel Mare delivers what you'd expect from a good Italian trattoria: decent food, fair portions, and reasonable prices. No frills, no contrived presentation—just honest food. Service is usually attentive, sometimes a bit hectic, but never unfriendly.
Atmosphere: classic Italian, nothing spectacular, but cozy enough for a relaxed evening.
Verdict: A good choice if you're craving Italian food and value solid quality.
