Restaurant Sparkling Bistro

The Sparkling Bistro hides in an unassuming courtyard inside some 70s residential buildings, literally a hidden gem. The lunch menu at 85€ is very good value for their offerings. Our appetizer was some small finger food with a biscuit and bacon taste, which reminded us of the barbecue-flavored potato chips. The cream one had a bitter note. Both appetizers were quite strongly seasoned. The lobster starter was very good: perfectly cooked lobster in a herbal flavor soup. It had some celery notes to it and also has a bitter hint. The soup was a clear color tomato soup, interesting visual, refreshing subtle acidity. The bitter salad that follows was not my favorite, but it's definitely creative from the ingredients, the plating as well as the flavors. For instance, the main vegetable was puntarelle, the "volcano asparagus". The most conventional part was the Hollandaise sauce. The main dish was Blonde d'Aquitaine, a kind of French beef. I think it's very well cooked to medium with a relatively strong sauce that complements it. The dessert is chocolate cream with some ginger flavored sauce, topped by cardamom ice cream. It's again interesting and creative, but probably not to everyone's taste. For people into Chinese food, the combination of ginger and cardamom reminds of a common braised meat dish (Chinese Goulash). These amplified the bitterness of the dark chocolate, and didn't complement the coffee like a normal sweet dessert. It's probably better to enjoy the dessert on its own or with tea instead. Out of the 5 dishes, the consistent flavor was a slight bitter note, that is quite unexpected and interesting, but in a good way. The lunch menu also came with a 55€ wine pairing that we didn't take. We got two glasses of non-alcoholic drinks, which costs about 15€ a bottle. We had about 100 ml per glass for 30€. Considering that restaurants usually charge triple the cost for drinks, this seems rather steep (5-6x the cost) compared to the reasonably priced lunch menu.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary. It was one of our best food experience. The vegetarian option was close to the meat/fish dishes which we very much enjoyed. It made it feel special. The wine pairing was excellent! The service was very thoughtful and extremely kind which made us feel very welcome.

A fantastic find in Munich! This restaurant delivers a chef-inspired tasting menu with creative twists on Austrian and German classics using fresh, local ingredients. The bread is outstanding, and the service is warm and attentive, creating a relaxed yet memorable dining experience. The wine selection is impressive, with excellent choices from Germany, Austria, and France. While it’s a bit of a splurge, the quality and attention to detail make it absolutely worth it.

Superb spot for fine dining lunch in the heart of Munich. Our highlight was the deer with the paired red wine. The restaurant's location inside a residential courtyard added a cozy, intimate atmosphere.

A perfect evening with amazing food, great service, and fantastic wines! Although being a Michelin-star restaurant the service is unpretentious, personal and relaxed. It's absolutely worth every Euro you spend! This was definitely not the last time we enjoyed the Sparkling Bistro! A must-visit in Munich for great food. Thank you!

One of the more hidden Michelin Star gems in Munich where you can even sit outside in a very calm and cozy yard with a little fountain that provides peaceful soothing water sounds while you indulge in various courses of amazing food. The service was outstanding, very caring about every single detail and not shy of making everything possible for us. The courses were absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend to take the classic Kaisergranat if you visit. We initially had a reservation for a different restaurant but changed our mind after we saw a few recommendations about Sparkling Bistro. If you are in Munich and want to have a gourmet dinner - look no further. The pricing is absolutely reasonable for what you get and is not overly expensive like many other Michelin restaurants in Munich nowadays. We will for sure come again! Thanks

The Michelin guide has always been for a filter for quality, inspiration, emotions and service. However, I didn't feel what I always feel at other Michelin places . The menu was little bit boring for me. The dominant taste of the menu during my experience is salt and pallet scorching acid. none the less the ingredients are of high quality. Long pauses and waiting time of 45 min between the small and scarce courses to keep you hungry and never getting full. After our visit we ordered cheap delivery pizza to get full. This 275 euro menu with wine and none alcoholic pairing failed to fill me up. The wine pairing except the last dessert wine was not unique and not complementing the menu in my opinion. The non alcoholic pairing was in my opinion somewhat based on vinegar, Fermentation and sour ingredients which didn't go well with the dominantly sour salty menu. Service was nice and helpful however too slow during the service. As mentioned above 45 min waiting time and wines for the pairing are served already 30 min before the arrival of the dish. I also felt some lack of attention to the table as our water was empty for some time without notice by the service. For this experience I feel disappointed, paying 275 euro per person for a restaurant that doesn't compare to other Michelin star restaurants I tried. I highly recommend the restaurant to adjust menu size and add more fresh, green and fruitiness to the menu. Make sure that the staff is sufficient for the number of guests to ensure a smooth Michelin star dinner.

We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing and it was a fantastic experience overall. Food was presented beautifully and drink matched perfectly. Service was very attentive and chef also very nice and friendly. Restaurant is fairly small and cozy which makes the experience a bit more unique. We’d love be back soon 👌🏻

Ich kam für ein Mittagessen ohne Reservierung vorbei, hatte aber einige Schwierigkeiten, dieses kleine Restaurant zu finden - es hat einige Fenster, die auf einen kleinen Innenhof hinausgehen, der von der Straße aus nicht direkt zugänglich ist. Da nur ein anderer Gast da war, genossen wir beide das Ambiente, das Essen und den sympathischen Sommelier, als wären wir allein. Besonders gut hat mir der Steinbutt mit gehobelter Schafszunge geschmeckt. / I stopped in for a "no-reservations" lunch, but had some difficulty finding this small restaurant - it has a few windows facing a small courtyard that is not immediately accessible from the street. With only one other diner, we each enjoyed the ambiance, food and personable sommelier as if we were each alone. I especially enjoyed the turbot with shaved sheep tongue. 2024 03 22. M1.
