Ratskeller am Marienplatz - Munich

NO SMOKING!!! YAY!

The waitresses are hot!

I've been twice to the Ratskeller and both times, sitting in the no-smoking section, I could smell smoke. Not really recommended by me for the fresh air. Otherwise, nice wine.

When did you go? They've expanded the non-smoking zones several times this summer, and I was last there a month ago (at lunch on a weekday) and it was fine for me (which is saying a lot).

This place used to have average prices but now it's really expensive for the type of food - e.g. €17 for duck is rather a lot considering that round the corner in Frauenplatz you can get the same thing for around €14 in (in my opinion) a nicer, original Bavarian restaurant. That said, the food is always good quality, and they have a huge turnover of people so you're unlikely to have to wait long to get a seat. That's assuming you can find where to ask about it, as it's rather a maze there! Non-smoking zones do tend to be right next to smoking ones, which is not very intelligent, but at least it's better than none.

We ate here for lunch and it was excellent. The prices for lunch were not bad (4-10 Euro) and the non-smoking room was completely separated from the smoking sections. The potato soup, pasta and express lunch sausage were all great.

Hello, We did our wedding lunch there, and we loved it! we were few people so they reserved us a very nice table (non-smoking) with all kinds of fency decorations. The food was awesome (very well presented and super yummy) and the service exceptional. I would for sure recommend it.

Fantastic atmosphere. You must try the Lammhaxl just like good home cooking. Highly recommend it

Good food and no smoke that I could smell, but the waiter (Herr Di Trapani) assumed we were American (we're South African) and proceeded to be less than polite. He then demanded a 15% service charge. It was only when I confronted him on the fact that for 15% he could at least be a little bit friendly that his assumption came out. His excuse was that it's not in his character to be friendly, and that would be OK. But to demand a service fee on top of that was a bit much. We didn't see any of the kid-friendly books and crayons for our 2-year-old either.

The food was good, but the service was bad. We were really rushed by the waiter to order, but then we waited forever to get the bill. The waiter was not friendly at all. I do not intend to go there again.
