Marais — Restaurant in Munich

Eclectic cute decor, awful food.

I live in the neighborhood and headed over for a Saturday morning breakfast, based on the looks of Marais and the apparently good reviews.

The decor is fun and eclectic - think 1970s haberdashery. The service is friendly. But the food was inedible.

Dish 1 was fried eggs. It look like they had been made in an old filthy frying pan. The bottom of the eggs was burned. Some ham had been tossed in, but partly clumped on one side.

Dish 2 was scrambled eggs. It was a yellow congealed mass. With some liquid (maybe margarine?) floating on the surface. An awful after taste.

Dish 3 was a croissant. This was edible, but tasted like it came out of a three day old plaster package.

The cappuccino tasted like instant coffee topped with a bit of milk foam.

While I would like to give more stars for the good service and decor, at the end, this is a restaurant. Food matters. If the food is so awful there is no...

The atmosphere is unique, and their paninis are great! Coffee is a bit pricey but decent. The place is very popular and packed on weekends, so expect some waiting time for your order.

We continued eating, as we still had food on the table, and soon after, the waitress silently removed the note again—without saying a word. If they had simply spoken to us and explained the situation, we would have understood. Communication is key in hospitality, and this experience left a...

I was disappointed by this café despite the excellent reviews. When I went in to pay, I was told that my 1 cappuccino would cost €7.70, even though it stated on the menu that it cost €3.80. Although very surprised, I initially payed with a 10€ bill and furthermore received the incorrect change. I left very disappointed, before deciding to come back and question the transaction. The lady claimed that she thought I had ordered something else with the cappuccino (but had not asked me what), and then suggested that I had ordered 2 cappucinos - which would in any case have corresponded to less than the sum she asked me for. She then promised to give me back €3.80 but in fact shortchanged me again, giving me back €3.60. Although it was a pleasant café and the coffee was nice, I would recommend checking your...
