Ambar Bistro

Super small and extremely crowded place that reminds me of restaurant in countries like Italy or Spain, as it’s so lively, full and loud. The staff is super friendly, funny, and helpful. I highly recommend tasting the beers that they have, especially Slyrs, it’s really really good. As for food, I personally recommend the meat balls. All in all I recommend stopping by.

Summary: Everything was delicious, great beer selection, and amazing hospitality. The first night (we went there twice it was so good) chef Luca asked us what we wanted or if he should just bring food out. After finding out we were ravenous he brought out every appetizer. They were all amazing. The buffala mozzarella was delicious, the bread was perfect, the hummus devine, the charcuterie delectable, the roasted vegetables delightful, and the fried pizza encountered an encore and was just as tasty the second time. He was super conscientious of vegetarian and pregnancy needs as well. The eggplant parmigana was probably my favorite. The menu is on a two day rotation, so if it isn't available I'm sure he'll have something equally delicious. Next we had the pasta. I don't remember exactly what was in it, but it was amazing and the noodles were hand made. The last dish was the meatballs. They too were amazing. Only thing I didn't like the entire night was the olive appetizer. I detest olives, but everything else was so good I decided to give it a try. They were closed Sunday, so we came back on Monday. The fried pizza was gone, but replaced with these delicious potato croquettes. We ordered two rounds of those in addition to the rest of the appetizers. The pasta was tomato based and equally delicious. The Italian sausage was very good, though the sauce it was served in was the real treat. We were celebrating a friend's birthday that night and Luca brought out a home made ricotta pear ice cream with little biscuits. It too was amazing and a great way to cap the meal. The owner happens to also be a beer Somalier. I didn't know that was a thing, but I'm so glad it is. This was the best beer selection I've found in a restaurant, period. My favorite was a Napoleon coffee stout. Everyone was so friendly and hospitable. If you're in Munich, come here. If you're not in Munich, come to Munich to go there.

Awesome place! One of the highlights of my trip to Munich. Good selection of craft beers on bottle and good food. Great taste in music. Markus was the perfect host!

This delightful Italian bistro has a cozy, local feel. We had the panko-crusted fried sardines with salsa verde, fresh pasta with wild boar ragout and the roast stuffed red pepper on a simple tomato sauce, panna cotta with apricot marmalade. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced! Great selection of beers and wines. The music was excellent and a key part of the ambiance. Friendly staff who spoke English well. Highly recommend.

Great place for a beer with friends or colleagues after work. Every item that’s listed on the menu is homemade. The beer selection is also very good. Overall, it’s a great authentic Munich meeting spot.

Hidden gem! I love everything here! Food, wine, beer, service, vibes: all perfect! Such a chill place!

Superfriendly restaurant/bar with an extraordinary good beer list. Biersommelier Gianluca gave us excellent advise, and was very enthusiastic about his beers. Hidden gem in München

Italian bistro but with a German twist. The place is super cosy, and we felt right at home. They serve crafted beers and also have an interesting choice of wines. The food we ordered was really lovely (we got meatballs, humus&paprika, fish and my favorite dish, the cabbage. The tables are small and you’re squeezed in next to the other tables but actually it was not unpleasant, just really cosy. Expect some noise, so it’s great if you want to have a chill happy hour/dinner but not the right place if you’re looking for a quiet spots or if you’re a big group.

Friendly local bar/wine/food place with friendly people and nice music. Great if you find yourself in the neighborhood but not a destination on its own.
