Recently, my companion and I went to Glockenbach in Munich's Maxvorstadt district one afternoon – not far from Sendlinger Tor. From the outside, Glockenbach doesn't look particularly inviting; it's located on the corner of a street intersection in a long, red building on the ground and first floors. However, when we were there, only the ground floor was open; the upper floor was closed because there were still plenty of seats available downstairs.
Immediately upon entering, we found ourselves facing the white staircase, mirrored on the outside, which leads to the upper dining area. Upstairs, there are many additional seats besides the approximately 25-30 tables downstairs – mostly for two – with olive-green surfaces, blooming tulips, patterned armchairs, and stools. Overall, the first impression is quite pleasant and positive as you enter through the front door – past the tables set up in front of the Glockenbach – and are immediately greeted by the staircase, the bar, and the many inviting tables. The Glockenbach wasn't particularly crowded during our visit and therefore didn't feel overcrowded or too noisy. We went inside and asked a waitress if we could have the free table by the side window overlooking a row of tables set up along the building frontage. The waitress seemed a little overwhelmed by the request at first, checked with her colleague, and we took our seats after the used dishes had been cleared away.
The staff was very friendly, served us quickly, and we were even able to order from the breakfast menu, which is available until 4 pm. Our order was taken at 3:50 pm, and we promptly received the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, herbs, and feta (for me) and the Munich-style schnitzel with cranberries and potato salad from the regular menu. To drink, we chose a Diet Coke and a large blackcurrant spritzer.
Glockebach doesn't have a particularly extensive menu, but it's appealing and well-balanced. The breakfast menu, for example, offers a croissant with homemade jam and butter for €3.10, and fresh fruit with organic natural yogurt for €5.,0.00 Euro, Croissant with ham & cheese for 4.60 Euro, scrambled or fried eggs with choice of tomato and herbs or feta or ham for 5.60 Euro or also toast with smoked turkey breast & cheddar Baked in an egg coating with a small salad for €7.50. You can see the entire breakfast menu here. here See. There's also a lunch menu. It's available Monday to Friday from 12 pm to 3 pm with changing lunch dishes. Choose between two courses for €7.90 – including soup of the day or a small salad and a main course – or add an espresso or cappuccino for €9.80. Evening menu Offers weekly changing dishes. (For example, Asian seafood salad with wakame, daikon radish & sesame; steak tartare from beef fillet with truffle mayonnaise, potato croutons & arugula; yellow bell pepper soup with basil pesto; spicy chicken consommé with bean sprouts & mushrooms; g)Grilled lamb loin on sweet potato mash; Kenyan beans & wild cranberry jus, k(Rose salmon trout fillet on saffron cucumber tagliatelle or olive polenta & tandoori foam – priced between 5.50 and 25 euros.)
We were served by a friendly waiter, and another waiter—presumably the manager—took our order. The food was delicious. The schnitzel came with a generous portion of potato salad with a distinct horseradish flavor. The meat was tender, tasty, and well-breaded—a very fair price at €10.90. 🙂 My scrambled eggs with feta and tomatoes (each €1) came to a total of €6.60. The scrambled eggs seemed a bit small in the relatively deep plate when served, but they were quite filling—probably also because of the goat cheese. I only ate one slice of the bread that was served. The scrambled eggs were very tasty and, combined with the soft, creamy feta, had a very harmonious and well-rounded flavor. (Definitely try it—even if you're ordering a main course, you might want to order it to share!)
Including the two drinks mentioned above (Diet Coke €2.80 / juice spritzer €3.60), we paid a very reasonable €27, including a €3 tip. We would definitely come back and eat there again for breakfast/lunch or dinner at absolutely fair prices and with good service. Overall, it's quite a cozy atmosphere, despite a striking, cold, bare concrete pillar in the restaurant, a rather convoluted layout, and the bulky staircase in the middle of the room, as well as the not particularly high-quality interior furnishings. The restaurant features yellow linoleum flooring, wooden flooring in the entrance area, brightly patterned bar stools, armchairs, and benches, soft background music, and a generally well-rounded and harmonious concept – enhanced by plenty of natural light through the many windows throughout the restaurant. Card payments are accepted.
It's open daily from 10 am to 1 am, and until 2 am on Fridays, Saturdays, and the nights before public holidays. I definitely recommend a visit, as basically everything was perfect. 🙂 As I always say: With the right company, it's sure to be a great evening, lunch break, or breakfast.
I'll be back: Absolutely. There was nothing to complain about, and the food was very good for the price.

There's no Wi-Fi here, it's a bad joke in Munich in general. You just want to write one or two emails and you get yelled at for expecting the Wi-Fi to work (after you specifically asked about it when you entered and it was confirmed) – 20 minutes and countless attempts later, all they said was: it's just a normal router, it can't handle that many devices, just keep restarting your Wi-Fi, maybe you'll get a "ticket" to connect.
So much for the title "locations in Munich with Wi-Fi"„
