Rive Gauche - Menu

A quaint little restaurant tucked away behind the old uni hospital offers authentic fayre. I tried the tarte tatin au boudin noir et pommes, my friends loved their canard confit!

Kitchen is smaller than the bathrooms, amazing they can put out all those fine meals! Wild boar country pate, herbs were just great. Pumpkin soup finished with a litter vinegar. Mains were breast of Guinea fowl, pork loin in plum sauce. All well done.

I had dinner with my boyfriend here. The place is small and nice, the tables are too near each other for being romantic.Service is terribly slow, no english menu at all.Food is fine, but quite expensive. my duck was over cooked.Wine selection is fine. View menu

the menu is not very extensive and changes often, which is a sign that food is cooked fresh (and not taken out of a freezer) and seasonal products are used. Service was lovely, food was excellent (tried the rabbit pate and the chocolate cake, for example), everybody on my table was very happy. Also excellent choice of wine.

This place was recommended by a friend of a friend. Four of us were on business and tried a few restarants in Munich. This is an unassuming restaurant and charmingly French. The owner speaks perfect English and translated all the French meals written in German on the board. We all had 3 courses and drinks and everyone was delighted with the food. We will return.

We had just landed from overnight trip and it was early evening in Munich. We walked several blocks around our hotel and came upon this place. Small place but had a really cool vibe coming from its open windows and street side tables. The owner spoke English and welcomed us in... The food and atmosphere was perfect! It not german food obviously but I would still recommend it! Wine list was impressive. View menu

Thanks for a wonderful evening! Most French restaurants in Munich tend to go all upscale and mainstream. The Rive Gauche makes you experience a true French brasserie in the city of Munich: the owner is proud of his establishment and takes pride in basic but freshly and well prepared food, prices are reasonable and the vine list is not targeted to guests with a large expense account (nothing wrong with having one but not on the weekend).

We eat at Rive Gauche almost every week. I was hesitant to review it as it is small, and I didn't want it to get too crowded. Too late, everyone is in on the secret. The food is always amazing. Every time we eat here we comment on how consistently good the food is. The menu is small, changing sporadically, and always interesting. The Morteau Wurst, rabbit, lamb, veal, as well as any of the other offerings, especially the pâtés and foie gras, are all authentically French and outstanding. If you're looking for a tasty change in Munich, you must try Rive Gauche! But please, don't tell anyone else.

We moved to Munich a year ago and have tried a number of French restaurants since then. This one provides the best value for money so far.We went there on a whim, having just finished an extended shopping spree in the city centre. Thankfully, the waiter managed to get us a table - the rest of the restaurant was fully booked. At 17:15. So, yes, Rive Gauche is popular.And rightfully so. The ambience is very nice, with dark woods dominating. The background music was a soothing, albeit eclectic, mix of French, German and English chanson style music. For the record, the waiter is an excellent singer, piano player, and he managed to whistle every tune, too. Now, the food. The menu is small, as is... View menu
