Restaurant Pfistermühle

One of my “new” favorite restaurants in Munich! Went on a friend’s recommendation and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. They have a small menu which I personally prefer and it looks like you can’t go wrong ordering fish! Mine was really delicious and can’t say enough about the service as well.

Great food and a very nice setting. Love it. They try their best to make our experience as great as possible so thumbs up for that

We had the excellent Chef's Menu of very carefully prepared dishes, matched with an interesting wine pairing -- all at a very reasonable price. Service was perfect: impeccable but not stuffy. We appreciated the pacing, allow us to savor each dish without being rushed. I only regret not getting a list of those unusual (to us) wines, but after talking with the waiter, many may be only available to specialists like Pfistermühle.

Highly disappointed in our experience! We had a party of 9 for Christmas eve dinner and had the specialty menu. The food was amazing but that is all that we enjoyed. Service was very slow and not very upfront about the additional costs. Table was preset with water bottles; we were unaware we would be charged for these since we did not order them. We were served the “house” champagne when we sat down, again charged for them even though they were poured as we sat and did not order them. The “house” champagne for the evening was priced extremely high – 50 euros per glass (we were not drinking the rose)! Not being aware of this made these charges really soured our experience. I spoke to the manager at the end of the evening, I was not looking for a refund, but offered some advice that some of those things should have been mentioned prior to being poured or offered. I also mentioned the shocking sticker price for a glass of champagne and felt we should have been warned. He was very arrogant and said “If you could not afford these prices then you should not have come here”. I was shocked, who speaks to someone like this? I have never been treated like that before so I do not suggest this location especially for something special like Christmas dinner!

The waiter was the best waiter we had during our time in Germany. The food was well prepared and the caviar was fresh. This restaurant is great for a special occasion, and it was very good for sharing conversation within a small group. During our time in Munich, this stands out as the best restaurant experience we had. If you can only go to one place in Munich for dinner, this is the place to be.
