Naschmarkt - Pleasanton

RAVE for Naschmarkt Pleasanton! The warm and elegant atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and punctual. The beer, wine and cocktail options are quite wide. We tried Pineapple Express Coctail, the classic Wiener Schnitzel, Homemade Pretzel, Spatzle, Grilled Sturgeon. The meals were great and a great restaurant in every detail in Downtown. Definitely recommend it!

Finally an Austrian restaurant in the Tri-Valley! Very good food & drinks, almost-authentic Austrian taste (we had the Wiener Schnitzel and the Goulash),good service and nice atmosphere (even when very tightly packed and music on the loud side, still possible to have conversation). Not cheap, but as expected based on prices at their Campbell location and various Bay Area German restaurants.

We had dinner last night at this new location and the food and service were fantastic. We had previously attended the Campbell location, and are so happy to have a Pleasanton location for one of our favorite restaurants. Our waiter, John, was very attentive, but not intrusive. The manger and owner came by to make sure everything was ok. It was a great meal and beautiful environment. The drink menu was extensive and delicious. I would recommend the Barrel aged old fashion. The apple strudel was Devine. We will definitely be returning.

A cozy place with exceptional service — we were delighted to visit it on this beautiful Mother’s Day. They even gifted us roses, which made the experience feel extra special.

We loved our whole dinner, from drinks to our meal everything was great. Both managers working were friendly and checked in, and even after assuring them I wasn’t bothered with the sun being on me in my seat they did everything they could to block it for the short time before it went down. I wished I ordered a salad because I saw one go by and it looked great. The decor is fun and the staff went above and beyond I could tell they were still getting used to a busy service, but have no doubt they will be operating very smoothly soon.

Charming old world atmosphere with small table lamps. The service was good, accurate, excellent with changing out plates and cutlery between courses. A tad tentative when interacting with the customers, but they're still new. Absolutely mo complaints about the food. The starter bread was great. The soup of the day was a garlic soup - creamy garlicky flavor with chili oil swirl, and pretzel bits for crunch. I'd never had something like this. It was fabulous, silky smooth. The entrées were all good. We had Kraut Rouladen, Jager Schnitzel and a pork classic Wienerschnitzel. Spätzle was served as a side. Super good. Meats were all tender and flavorful. Tiny suggestion (that I informed the owner about) - because the serving plates are thin, the temperature of the thin schnitzels cooled down a little too fast. So maybe heating the plates ahead of serving would be a good idea, to help keep the meats warm. We finished with the Salzburger Nockerl - wow! Light and puffy soufflé with ice cream and blueberries. One of our group is German heritage and she said the food was better than some she'd had back in Austria. High praise! Excellent addition to the downtown Pleasanton dining scene.

We dined here for the first time tonight. I have so many nice things say… the decor is welcoming and beautiful; the jagerschnitzel was absolutely delicious. Ihsan provided great service. Very kind, attentive and professional. We cannot wait to come back with our friends.

Pretzels, sausage variety and main entrees were all amazing. The ambience was more upscale than we thought and the servers were very attentive.

We had dinner last night at Naschmarkt and it was great. Food, service and ambiance were all first rate. We got there early, about 5:15, and were seated immediately at a table for two. The dining room was nicely decorated . The restaurant is very narrow but fairly long with a long bar on one side and a row of tables down the middle and on the far side. There are also several tables outside at the entrance. Service was prompt as we were asked whether we preferred still . sparkling, or tap water. The water was supplied along with bread and butter in 2 or 3 minutes and the waiter took drink orders which arrived promptly and the waiter took our dinner orders. We both ordered the Jagger Schnitzel with Spatzle. It was excellent and very Viennese. Everything was excellent and the best Schnitzel I've had outside Austria. We chose the pork rather than the veal. This is what I call a special occasion restaurant with superior food and service at matching prices. I felt the prices were appropriate, but too much for most frequent visits. We will be back, but it will be a while.

Stopped in for dinner earlier this week and found a nice new surprise downtown. Service was great and attentive and the food was delicious. I'd come just for the pretzel and drinks alone; my husband loved the cheese! Great food and I'm sure we will be back!

The staff were very nice and responsive. They topped off our waters multiple times and checked in on us often to see how we were doing. They also offer bread at your request which I found to be well-made. We got the pretzel with bacon beer cheese which was good! They definitely were generous with the amount of cheese they offered. And then for an entree I got the Austrian Beef Goulash. It was pretty good! The flavor was good, the only qualm I had with it was some of the beef chunks felt a little dry in contrast to the lovely slow cooked chunks in the rest of it. Overall a very pleasant experience!

We had a lunch here on a Friday, not busy, great outdoor seating area. The spaetzle was our favorite, nice combo with included corn and Brussel sprouts as well as chicken. We also had that sausage sampler plate, great tasting sausages & their house made sauerkraut & rotkohl was very good.

We started off with a pretzel for an appetizer. Amazing. Hubby and I had the Jageur shniztel, friends had the goulash and the traditional Schnitzel. Everyone loved their meal . Finished off the meal with the apple streudel. Service , ambiance (live musics), food everything was great. Can't recommend enough

We stopped in because they had schnitzel. Wow it didn't disappoint. My mom and I shared the meal and it was just enough food for the both of us. I love the pretzel bun paired with the cutlet. The flavors balanced one another. The service was exceptional. I loved the fact he allowed us to enjoy the time, the salad before bringing out the sandwich. Ambiance was relaxing sitting on the patio, watching people pass by.

Naschmarkt definitely delivers on atmosphere. "Hustling bustling" is an understatement! The energy was high, a real vibrant buzz that made you feel like you'd stepped into a lively European eatery. Definitely a pro tip for larger groups: reservations are a must if you're more than a duo! The service here truly shines. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and impressively knowledgeable about every dish we inquired about. They navigated the menu with ease, offering helpful descriptions and answering our questions thoughtfully. A solid 4.5 stars for the front-of-house team We started with the Beef Goulash. As someone who prefers leaner cuts, I appreciated the quality of the beef. However, while tender, the sauce leaned a tad on the subtle side. I personally would have enjoyed a more flavors and a bit more complex seasoning blend. It was a decent dish The Karout Roulash, on the other hand, was the more intriguing of the two mains. The real star here was the mushroom demi-glace. It was rich, earthy, and truly elevated the entire dish, adding a layer of sophistication that the beef goulash was missing. For dessert, we opted for the Blueberry Soufflé, and it was a delightful end to the meal. The soufflé itself was incredibly delicate and airy, melting in the mouth with a lovely, natural blueberry flavor. What impressed me most was that it wasn't overly sweet, allowing the fruit's essence to truly come through. I didn't feel the need for a bitter coffee chaser, which is always a good sign for a well-balanced dessert. Give em a try!

Delicious Schnitzel. I like that Naschmarkt offers something unique to the area. Modern Austrian food in a stylish venue. I enjoyed my cocktail and the classic veal Schnitzel was perfect. Great flavor, crispy outside, tender and juicy. The pork belly could have been good and it maybe was great at one point, but they really dried out the bottom to the point were it was super stiff and stringy. The nice atmosphere was undermined by people playing loud sounds on their phones with no regard for others around them... Also the alternative rock mix they were playing inside went to weird places when Linkin Park joined the fray. I'll definitely be back for the Schnitzel.

Went here with some of my work friends. We ordered a bunch of plates and shared everything. The service was very attentive and made fantastic recommendations. We sat outside on a beautiful spring day and got to do some people watching. Everything we tried was very good. You must order the pretzel to start. Everything tasted very homemade and fresh. We will definitely come back again.

10/10 would recommend. We love the schnitzel and spatzle. We have ordered a lot of different dishes here and all of them are really good! Even have taken things to go and the food is still fresh and tasty!

Made reservations here and were greeted right away by the friendly staff. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day. For our appetizer, we had the pretzel with beer-cheese sauce was tasty. The Hungarian goulash is a must when you come here. Please see my pictures. The portions were generous, so much so that we had no room for dessert. Will have to come back for the blueberry soufflé. Thank you for a delicious and friendly experience!

The food and cocktails here are outstanding, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.

Ambiance is great, great service. Excellent list of beers , wine and some great hand crafted cocktails. Their dessert menu looks great . Food wise- Lots of options for meat eaters. If you are a vegetarian , there are just limited options on the menu. The items are pretty steeply priced. So you might want to keep this for really special occasions:) I would go there for their drinks and dessert!

Great place! Gorgeous Decor, crispy schnitzel, delicious mushroom sauce chock full of mushrooms, fast service! We'll be Bach!!

We were excited to see what the new owners of the former Pairings restaurant had in store for its patrons. They have done a wonderful job with the decor and much improved seating. It's comfortable and modern. The space is quite tight. It was noticeably challenging for wait staff to get around and serve. Removing one of the tables and spreading out the remainder in the row adjacent to the bar should help with this. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was good but not commiserate with the price charged. For what the food is, the price point will probably deter us from making this a favorite spot. For example, specialty cocktails were $18-$20! The most inexpensive entree was in the mid-30s. The sausage appetizer was $39-not worth it.

We just finished our lunch wnd was amazing!! My salmon was perfect and the goulash was so good! I think Pleasanton as a culinary destination is really stepping it up. Try the place . Worth it!

Very nice restaurant, the food is great, the staff is friendly, would like to come here occasionally

The food and drinks were tasty. The portion size is large, which makes the expensive prices more tolerable/understandable. The service was attentive but to the point we felt a bit rushed to leave. For example, we were still picking at our dinner and enjoying conversation. We finished our drinks, but they came and offered boxes already and to take our plates away, and brought the dessert menu right away without asking if we'd like another beverage. The place wasn't full, so I think they were just trying to be attentive. However, I did feel a bit rushed.

Just had the MOST perfect meal here! Everything, from the atmosphere to the service to the food, was outstanding. We are here from L. A. visiting friends in Pleasanton and they insisted we dine here, as they have been several times. Two of us had blood orange cosmos, which were amazing. The sweet corn soup was a bowl of heaven, as was the cold cucumber and avocado soup with dill. In addition to the chicken pot pie, the others had the veal and pork schnitzel. We started off with the pretzel and its sauce - divine! Portions are extremely generous. Looking forward to a return visit the next time we are up here to enjoy another spectacular meal. Thank you to our fabulous server, John, for making this a wonderful experience!

We decided to stroll the Main Street in Pleasanton around 6. There was couple events earlier and therefore the streets were still blocked which allowed pedestrians to leisurely enjoy the outdoor sun. We wanted to try something different and walked into Naschmarkt without reservation. Luckily, there was a table available. Waiter appeared shortly. We ordered Austrian Maultier, beer and homemade pretzel which came with cheese sauce with bacon bits. For entrées, we had Hungarian beef Goulash and grilled sturgeon. It took a while for the foods to arrive but they were well seasoned and delicious. We finished all the food and had no room for dessert.

If you are looking for an authentic taste of Austria without boarding a plane, this Austrian delight is a must visit in Pleasanton!! The Hungarian beef goulash paired with the gooey Spatzle was amazingly rich and delish!! Eric & Danae our barkeepers were so attentive and so much fun!! Blood orange cosmo!! Ask for it!! A place where you can unwind, connect, or simply disappear into a good drink and not to mention the soft subtle voice of music playing by the band!!

Food is very well presented, tasteful and huge portions and bar tenders knowledgeable and personable. Great vibe,trendy and homey with class

While the food was good, the experience left me questioning whether it was worth the price. I'm not familiar with Austrian food, so I don't know if the dishes were priced appropriately. But if you're going to charge a premium, at least provide the service that matches it. Our server seemed scattered and inattentive. It took a long time just to place our orders. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice a series of mistakes: wrong bills handed to table, to-go boxes nearly given to the wrong party, and some awkward maneuvering in between guests that felt unnecessarily intrusive. When it's finally our turn, our server tried to bring over the appetizer plates when we near finished the appetizer on the bread plate; we assumed that the extra plating wasn't coming and just dug in. As we were getting our main entrees, our server arrived with one of our dishes, only to pause, swinging it uncertainly while confirming with the owner if it should come with some peppers on the side. It might have made more sense to check with the kitchen first. In the end, the owner stepped in to bring it to our table. At the end of the dinner, he tossed the dessert menu to me while standing at the one end of the table. When we did not order desserts, he snatched the menus off our table with a bit too much haste. At one point, he raised his tone correcting a busboy in front of the guests. It was not a great look. To be fair, he did have some good moments. He introduced himself clearly and professionally, took the time to explain the specials without rushing through like some servers do, and offered his dessert recommendations. He also encouraged us to take our time when we wrapped up, mentioning to let him know if we needed boxes. I'll give him credit for these efforts. However, the small details add up. The food was enjoyable, but the service though makes me hesitate to return.

Come check out their new Happy Hour! Nice drink menu and great tasting food. We tried the sausage sliders, pretzel with cheese sauce, and the spring rolls. Truly, very enjoyable. Don't forget to try Renee's margarita. Very nice staff. Oh, and bonus...they have music on Thursdays.

Incredible experience and the owner is the most wonderful person! The goat cheese purse salad was fantastic. The bratwurst and pretzels were so good! Also, we loved the desserts! Definitely a fantastic new addition to downtown.

So happy that this upscale restaurant is in Pleasanton. I treated myself to dinner after a long workday and the service was exceptional! I liken the restaurant and service to that of a fine dining, white table restaurant. Where there is a main server, a helper, and another who cleans crumbs from the table between dishes. Attention to detail was extraordinary! The food is amazing!!!! I ordered *Classic Wiener Schnitzel *Homemade Pretzel with Double Smoked Bacon Beer Cheese *Apfel Strudel Dessert

The food is very tasty. Both the Classic Wiener Schnitzel ($45) and Jager Schnitzel ($38) were excellent. The spatzle & potato salad that came along with those dishes were just so-so, and nothing we'd run back to. The Chicken Pot Pie ($40!!!) had a very cool ring-shaped presentation, and it was quite good also. Unfortunately, as was stated by another reviewer, the prices are simply too high. In looking at the menu, I'd say most of the entrees are about $10 higher than they should be (even given the atmosphere, quality, etc.), and the cocktail prices were even more ridiculous. $20 for a Manhattan is a joke. That basically means you're paying $26 for one cocktail, after tax & tip! That's a HARD NO! And this is coming from someone who is plenty familiar with paying $15-16 for specialty Manhattans at various restaurants around the country. I was initially leaning more towards a 3 star rating due to the steep prices, but went with 4 stars due to the food itself & the restaurant setting. I hope this place gets a bit more realistic with their pricing, but I unfortunately don't see that coming.

Food unique, beautifully presented and delicious! Servers are knowledgeable and attentive. Music fun. We even got to talk with the owner last Friday night. Very good wine/Syrah from France. We were celebrating with great friends. Beautiful restaurant too. We will be back.

Food and service were absolutely phenomenal! Even their white house wine was very good

This is a new restaurant and it is outstanding. Four of us dined having Werner Schnitzell, fish and rouladen. The dishes are authentic Austrian cuisine and well prepared. The service is excellent with a dash of humor. I've dined on German based food exclusively in Europe and Naschmarkt rivals the best. It's on our permanent list of restaurants.

Naschmarkt offers delicious, authentic Austrian dishes in a cozy and relaxed setting. Everything from the schnitzel to the strudel was full of flavor and made with care. Great service and a warm atmosphere, can't wait to come back!

Three stars for music - weired psychedelic rock really does not pair with nice warm atmosphere and great food. Service is good too. Change music - and we will be back!

Having Father's Day here was delightful. Great food! Great service! Really nice ambience. It really is the closest thing you're going to have actually going to Austria or Germany unless you go to a major city. Easily the best restaurant that's opened up in Pleasanton in a long time.

Nice interior, great bar, average food, service can be on the slow side. I love jagerschnitzl, but this was not an option at lunch. The smoked sausage sandwich on a pretzel bun was nothing special, not sure what I expected but I felt I could get this at any sandwich place. Service is friendly and kind, but very slow, so don't go if you're in a hurry.

Lovely new place with great ambiance and food !!! We were 4 of us and we njoyed our drinks and we ordered for salmon and Goulash (beef) which was perfect in the spices, tenderness and flavors. Would definitely go back again and again !! Our server was gr8 too !! We used to frequent the earlier place - pairings and hence we have a soft spot too here

Unique food items. Flavor was powerful and balanced. Ambiance was elegant. Service was superb. We tried Cocktails(2). App. Salad. Entrees(2) Dessert. All AMAZING

The food is really good but, service was slow though. I had the weinerschnitzel, which was crispy on the outside and the right texture on the inside. Lots of choices on the menu. The music in the background was classic instrumental which added a nice touch. Also outside seating available with heat lamps, looked like it was pet friendly.

Happened upon this place for music and fortunately got here early enough for Happy Hour. Great drink list and the food I ordered was awesome.

We were excited to try something new but the prices and closeness of the tables will keep us from returning. We ordered the scallops appetizer for $28 and out came 3 tiny scallops that lost their flavor because of the cold diced mango topping that was oddly paired with a warm dish. Disappointing to say the least. The drinks were good but $18 is too much for a drink, I don't care how good it is. I had a pasta dish with lamb but it seemed like beef to me, not lamb. I didn't ask because the flavor was so odd that I didn't eat much of it. I wish I had tried a more traditional dish like the schnitzel. The tables were so close together I could hear conversations on either side and even behind us making it hard to hear my husband right across from me. Our bill was over $200 for 2 people which is absolutely absurd. We won't be returning for a lot of reasons.

Not going back again! Expensive place with subpar food. There are so many other better places in downtown. Goulash was super bland. The tagliatelle pasts was super disappointing and I could barely chew the lamb. Schnitzel was OK but the sausage was burned. Ambiance is good and nothing wrong with service. But for this price point I expect better food.

Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Definitely need to come back and try the other dishes.

Is the food good? Sure, not bad at all. We tried the schnitzel, stuffed cabbage, goulash, and sausages. All pretty good, but nothing out of this world. What about service? Great service, nothing to complain about. Ambiance? Pretty nice. But let's talk about the real mountain here: the prices. I wasn't sure if I'd dined in Austria or bought Austria. The food may transport you to the Alps, but your bank account will feel like it just skied off a cliff. It's Austrian comfort food, not Michelin level complexity. Side note though, absolutely terrible coffee and even worse desserts. Another side note-- the desserts are horrible. Seriously the worst dessert i've tried in any restaurant was the chocolate cake. The ice cream was meh. Skip dessert and the disgusting coffee.

I don't always write reviews, but this was very good Austrian food. I have the schnitzel and I always think the one with mushroom sauce gravy is always better, but I loved my schnitzel. My Turkish waiter was excellent. He helped us out and the owner was very helpful. It was a little pricey, but yet well worth the meal and the experience. I will return many times in the future. I had their Apple strudel and it was fantastic just like from Austria and not every apple strudel is good. This was excellent.

I didn't review Naschmarkt - Palo Alto after my visit there a couple years ago but when I saw reference to opening in Pleasanton yesterday I made sure to try it out and order their scallop appetizer. Different sauce compared to my Palo Alto experience but yummy all the same (they rotate sauces about every 3 months). Weeknight opening week, it wasn't packed but had a good number of diners. Interior tables are kind of packed together and neighboring tables conversation could be easily heard but otherwise comfy. Classic schnitzel was tasty and filling.

I truly enjoy a well crafted cocktail its flavor is exquisite, smooth, and delightfully light. And the chilled cucumber and avocado soup is simply divine, with a gentle, refined taste that lingers beautifully. It's one of my favorites

Wow this restaurant is so overpriced and all the dishes we had were tasteless. Small tiny pretzel for 16 usd. Beers between 10 and 15 USD. Schnitzel for 45 USD. Absolutely incredible. If you charge this amount of money at least it should taste good. Walked out with a bill of 120 USD for tasteless.food and a waitress.tjaz wanted to grab drinks and plates while they were still half full. Would never come back

The ambiance is amazing at Nashmarkt. I ordered the Goulash and the beef was so tender and sauce just like my grandmother's use to make growing up only better! For dessert I had the apple strudel with homemade whipped cream on top served with vanilla ice cream

Food was yummy and service right on! Nice wine and cocktails and European beer on tap if that's your jam. Don't miss this one it's wonderful!
