Schuhbecks Pasta & Pizza - München

Its a restaurant with a very fine service , and select incredientes . Just asome place very good food .

For a fine dining restaurant, the experience was anything but fine. I came to the restaurant with my family to celebrate my aunt’s birthday, but it turned out to be a terrible experience overall. The service was perhaps the worst I have ever encountered in...a fine dining restaurant. We were ignored for a good 15 minutes after we sat down before the waiters acknowledged us and took our orders. The restaurant wasn’t even full. We asked the head waiter for wine recommendations, but he seemed very disinterested in doing so and hastily chose what seemed to be at random. At no point did the waiters explain to us the dishes we were eating, nor did they check on us if everything was okay. Perhaps the only bright side was their somewhat adequate attempt at celebrating my aunt’s birthday, putting 4 additional strawberries on the cake we bought from another shop while bringing it to the table with a single sparkler. Since the service was so bad, I thought the food had to at least be good to warrant the kind of reviews it had received so far. Unfortunately, it was nowhere close. The food was uninspiring and overly salted. They tried to use expensive and lavish ingredients like foie gras and white truffles as replacements for good cooking and seasoning. Beneath these ingredients was unfortunately mediocre food. Their only saving grace were perhaps the chestnut soup and short rib, that had some semblance of what good food was supposed to be. Perhaps the most damning was the fact that they served a dish different from what we ordered and what was displayed on the menu. I ordered a truffle linguine but was served spaghetti instead (maybe because we were Asian and they didn’t think we would notice the difference). Serving a different dish from what was ordered without any explanation is a big no-no for any restaurant, let alone a fine dining establishment. Overall, if you decide to dine here, be prepared to spent a lot of money for an equal amount of disappointment. This place left such a bad impression on me that I had to create this account on TripAdvisor just to warn others against visiting this place.

We visited around noon, and was a bit deserted. But we were surprised with the quality of the food. The schnitzel was so tender and tasty, and the fish dish we had was excellent !! The service was very good as well. We later researched...and found out that it had one Michelin star which was testament to the quality of the meal. We were overjoyed with the experience and it was our best meal at Munich.

We were sad to see Schuhbeck's corner of the Marienplatz mostly all closed down from our last visit four years ago when we hit both Orlando and Alfons and enjoyed them both tremendously, yet Sudtiroler remains so we had to do it on our brief...two night stay. This seemed to be pretty authentic Alpine cuisine. Sudtiroler has outdoor seating and plenty of space inside also. I didn't enjoy it as much as we enjoyed Alfons four years ago, but it was still very good.

Alfons Schuhbeck is charismatic and nice when he is on TV shows but in the restaurant, he needs to work harder. Sorry not a Michelin experience.
