A restaurant visit is always a special occasion. Some of them are truly memorable because everything just comes together perfectly: the atmosphere, the team, the service, the wines, the cuisine, and that one course you're still talking about days later. My visit to the NICE restaurant in Munich's Werksviertel district was exactly such an evening.
Exclusively in July 2026, you can book a very special culinary experience there with your Mastercard: the Mastercard Chefs Signature Menu, a five-course meal (four courses + amuse-bouche).

The menu will be available for booking from July 1st, 2026 (for groups of two or more); reservations will be made exclusively via [website/platform name] as usual. priceless.com. Don't miss this highlight of this extremely successful grand opening. (Here you can see the publications and menus of previous months and years.)
Restaurant NICE in the Werksviertel district: chic, open and pleasantly unpretentious.
NICE in the Werksviertel: stylish, open and relaxed.
The NICE Restaurant Located in the heart of Munich's Werksviertel district, NICE opened about a year ago. The moment you step inside, you notice that many things here have been deliberately designed differently: modern, clean, stylish, but not cold. NICE sees itself as a place for good food, good conversation, and clear thinking – and that's exactly what you feel in the space. The restaurant has a sophisticated feel, but isn't aloof. Chic, but not overdone. This very combination is what makes NICE so pleasant for me – simply a feeling of well-being from the very first minute.
The concept combines a daytime bar and a restaurant. NICE works just as well for lunch, afternoon drinks, or an evening meal as it does for a special menu. The daytime bar offers a relaxed, stylish, and informal atmosphere; the restaurant features seasonal, high-quality cuisine with a strong focus on flavor and quality. I particularly appreciate that the open kitchen is a clear focal point and the centerpiece of the space, yet it still creates a calm and focused ambiance. At NICE, there's no loud clamor for attention; instead, the experience is understated and convincing. It's a combination I find very appealing.

Behind NICE are hosts who clearly have a passion for gastronomy. Chrisoula Tsabrinou creates a welcoming atmosphere and a smooth rhythm in service with her warmth, calm demeanor, and attentiveness. Fabian Huber brings his experience and flair for high-quality ingredients to the kitchen. His cuisine is thoughtful, minimalist, and very clear – without ever becoming bland or cold. This is precisely what makes for a menu that not only satisfies but also delights. Time for a look at our Mastercard menu for July 2026.
The Mastercard Chefs Signature Menu in July 2026
The Mastercard Chefs Signature Menu begins with a daily changing amuse-bouche, followed by a delicately composed vegetable course of peas, beets, asparagus, eggplant, and sesame. I really enjoyed this opening course because it was fresh, aromatic, and pleasantly clean. At NICE, you quickly realize that the restaurant uses high-quality ingredients and that the plates aren't overloaded, but rather thoughtfully and visually appealingly arranged.

This was followed by a very fresh and delicious ceviche of Schliersee lake trout with octopus, potato, and egg yolk. For me, this was my favorite course of the menu because freshness, delicate acidity, and a wonderful depth of flavor came together perfectly. The lake trout provided the regional connection, the octopus added a maritime touch, and the potato and egg yolk gave the dish a well-rounded, creamy component. Simply superb.

The main course was also a true highlight: Veal Wellington with truffle cream and veal jus. Quite honestly, it was the best Beef Wellington I have ever eaten. The veal was cooked to perfection, the pastry delicate, the sauce rich and elegant, and the truffle cream beautifully balanced. I particularly appreciated the fact that the main course was conceived as completely "pure." Just the Beef Wellington in puff pastry, accompanied by jus and truffle cream, no additional side dishes. Pure enjoyment, perfectly executed. A truly exceptional main course, and one that is rare from a gastronomic perspective.

To finish, there's the Nice Mousse with Maldon salt and extra virgin olive oil. It's served from a large mousse pot right at your table. The oil is drizzled over the mousse right before your eyes, as is the coarse Maldon salt. Although I'm not a big chocolate fan, I was delighted by this modern dessert. Not too sweet, and beautifully balanced by the salt and olive oil. For me, it was a perfect ending that rounded off the meal nicely.
You don't eat meat? – There are also suitable vegetarian options. Instead of ceviche, fresh pasta with artichoke, Amalfi lemon, and stracciatella is served; for the main course, cauliflower with sweet potato, turmeric, and oats awaits as an alternative. This way, you can enjoy the menu vegetarian-style without it feeling like just an alternative.
A special compliment goes to the sommelier. The wine pairings were superb and harmonized perfectly with each course. For me, this is crucial for a successful restaurant experience: wine shouldn't just be a bystander, but rather accompany, complement, extend, or deliberately contrast the meal. At NICE, this was achieved exceptionally well.
The wine pairings include a 2024 Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc from Rings in the Palatinate, a 2024 Rosé Nice Edition from Domaine La Croix Belle in Languedoc-Roussillon, a 2020 Chianti Riserva from La Colombaia, and a PX San Emilio from Lustau in Jerez. The selection is varied, harmonious, and demonstrates that someone here knows exactly what to pair with the dishes. Be sure to chat with the sommelier, John, when you arrive.
For me, the NICE restaurant in Munich's Werksviertel is a prime example of how good gastronomy can work. A very stylish restaurant, a very friendly team, warm and welcoming owners, a fantastic sommelier, and superb wines that perfectly complement each course. Add to that a cuisine that is modern, precise, yet pleasantly approachable.
My verdict and how to book
What particularly stuck with me was the ceviche and the main course. The veal Wellington with truffle cream and veal jus was truly outstanding.
