I could not love this spot more. Beautiful covered/ enclosed Terrance where you look into a cute courtyard and just steps from the glockenspiel to hear its chimes. It was pouring rain the day we came and to sit and look out while hearing the sound was so magical. Service was friendly too! The food was absolutely phenomenal. Best friend egg I've ever had, French toast just like my great grandma would make, and my husband LOVED the wellness bowl. This is the best spot for breakfast and will now be a tradition any time we are in Munich! Can't recommend enough.

We got lucky getting a table on the side of the restaurant overlooking the Marienplatz Glockenspiel. When we arrived, there were a few people lining the hallways, waiting for a random group to get up so they could snag a table. I went into the dining room we eventually had lunch in to talk to the hostess, and I'm glad we did. We had to wait for maybe five or so minutes, but we were eventually taken to a small table. My husband labeled that "persistence", but in reality, I didn't want to have to slog through the rain to find another spot for lunch. It was just after noon, and even though the Christmas Market was open, most of the restaurants in Marienplatz were busy. It was just the season. My request (in German) for two English menus was met with a smile and acknowledgement, in English. We started our lunch with two pints of a Hofbräu Münchner Weisse (their beer menu is slightly slim), and settled in to review the menu. I went with the lamb meatballs, served over potatoes, and with a creamy leek sauce and crispy onions. My husband opted for the Chicken Saltimbocca, which came with a small pasta side and salad. They also brought a basket of freshly-sliced bread to the table (which I barely sampled. I know, who AM I, even?) The food was fresh and tasty, though I did enjoy my meal way more than my husband enjoyed his. He did like the flavor, but said it wasn't as cohesive a plate as he'd expected. The chicken was wrapped in thin layers of prosciutto, and he had a small side of fresh pasta with a red sauce and some vegetables. Meanwhile, I made short work of my dish, which featured irregularly-shaped meatballs (you could tell they were handmade). The meat had good flavor, and paired well with the creamy leek sauce and potatoes. The fried onions added a nice bit of crunch and flavor, as well. Our waiter was friendly and seemed to enjoy chatting with us in English (I did battle a lot of fear of speaking German, because I'm a ninny). The space was warm and close - lots of tables with lots of people - and it had a nice view of the square below and the Glockenspiel across from us. We weren't there at a time when the Glockenspiel puts on its show, but we'd caught that earlier in the day (from the ground level), so it wasn't a draw for us.

The chicken saltimboca is the best I have ever had. Thin cut chicken with the prosciutto grilled on the outside. Pasta was excellent. Really really good and what an amazing view!

We had terrific rhubarb cocktails and delicious apple strudel. The service is a little inattentive, but the food and drinks are excellent. What's truly terrific here is the view of the glockenspiel. This is one of the only ways to see it without craning your neck.

This cafe is hidden away across from the glockenspiel. If you sit outside, you have a great view of the square. If you ask for an English menu, you get a one page menu (but their regular menu in German has many more options if you can read it). We ordered a salmon dish, a caesar and chicken salad, and a herb salad (we needed to take a break from all the meat). The food was great, but one tip for the salads is to ask for the salad dressing on the side. While it was delicious, it was a little too salty for my taste because the dish was drenched in dressing (when I finished, there was still a little puddle of salad dressing remaining). We ordered the black forest cake for dessert to share. It was okay- cherries were there amongst a slightly dry sponge, but there was more cream than sponge which kind of made it too heavy.

My group and I went for breakfast and the food is delicious! Some of us ordered the huevos rancheros (German style) as seen in my picture, with a glass of orange juice and water. Everything was so fresh. And it came quickly. We weren't able to be seated outside because there were no more seats but we still had a lovely glimpse of Marienplatz and the weather was perfect inside our area. The waiter was a nice gentleman and he was helpful as well. The second time I went with just my boyfriend and we shared the same, pleasant experience. Please keep in mind to take money for the restrooms. Also, there is a small elevator that can take you up if you can not climb up the 4 flights of stairs. Overall, it is 100% recommended.

After years of living in Munich I finally got a chance to try this Munich institution. Located on the 5th floor of a building facing Marienplatz, you would miss it if you did not know it was upstairs. The restaurant is dived into three or four sections with seating and in the warmer days I believe you can sit outside and look at all the people below. The menu is a classic bistro menu with a combination of Bavarian, Italian and continental dishes. The drinks are plenty and I really liked my g&t that was made. The Bavarian burger I had (kalbsfleischpfanzerl) was quite nicely made and tasted great with the mash. I almost licked my plate clean :-) the dessert was also nice as was the coffee. We had an excellent waitress and despite it being full when we arrived they were kind enough to get us a table in 15mins for 8 people. The service was great even though it was full and that alone will bring me back here again. Glad I came here finally and look forward to my next visit.

Great atmosphere and service, especially during Oktoberfest! Wait staff friendly, and accommodating by speaking English. A great stop for coffee or beer, to watch the Glockenspiel in the morning (11 am).

Came here for breakfast before we hit the stores. We didn't really look to see what time they opened, but since there were people sitting at 9:40, we assumed they were open. Turns out they don't open until 10 so we just sat there till then. No big deal though. We ordered 2 cappuccinos and my step mom ordered the breakfast platter that came with grapefruit, aloe Vera yogurt, fruit, cheese, and shrimp salad in half an avocado. I ordered the breakfast platter that came with smoked salmon, shrimp salad, cheese, fruit, and a boiled egg. Both came with a basket of freshly sliced bread. These portions were huge!! We realized that we could have easily shared one, especially mine!! They were especially generous with the smoked salmon. I couldn't even touch my fruit at the end of the meal cause I was so full. Service was decent Great place to come if you're near the marienplatz! Either for a meal or a coffee and snack! We sat on the side opposite facing the glockenspiel, but it looked lovely!

Highly recommend this place, if you're visiting Munich for the first time and want to see the sights from inside. This cafe has the lucky fortune of overlooking one of the most impressive buildings in Munich - the glockenspiel! I stumbled upon it on my first day when I got caught in the rain, while I was sightseeing. I went inside and was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the restaurant was. They have a great menu, sadly I had already eaten so just ordered a cocktail, but the Bellini was lovely. At €5 it was a well priced and really delicious. This place really is ideal to overlook the glockenspiel and spend a few hours watching the world go by. I sat undisturbed with my drink for a good hour and half while I read my book, which was pleasing as usually restaurant usually try and upsell!

Cannot understand why this place isn't rated more highly. The prices are a bit above average but the view is worth it, one of the best in the city. The service is friendly and the food exceptional. Great place for breakfast, lunch, early dinner or a lovely late afternoon tea or coffee with excellent cheesecake or torte!
