Why Travelers Love Zum Alten
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Stopped by for lunch without a reservation. Everything we had was amazing. We got the dip appetizer which was fantastic, and I had the schnitzel also, husband had the goulash. Recommend everything... such wonderful food! Excellent meal at this Bavarian restaurant in the centre of Munich. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of outdoor seating in a pedestrian square. The inside has lovely wood panelled walls. The meat and cheese platter to share is huge. Great service, good portion sizes. Nice atmosphere. Recommend making a reservation if you wish to sit outside at peak dinner time.

This is a must dine. It's away from the busy tourist traffic. The ladies here run this place well, they will accommodate you even if you don't have a reservation (once they are able to) The Bella ciao starter vegetables and pork tenderloin main were amazing, best restaurant food since being in Munich. I'll have to come back.

This is a favorite spot anytime I’m in town. Lovely outdoor dining experience weather permitting. The tables inside are cozy and the decor is adorable. The cuisine is inspired, refreshingly seasonal and delicious. Service never disappoints. Eva, our server last time, was most patient and helpful. Highly recommend!
