The Victorian House on Viktualienmarkt is a cult and for all with Anglophilia, so to speak, the new living room. 🙂Victorian House is a restaurant specializing in English cuisine and renowned for an incredible variety of teas. The house opened in 2001 and since then has been one of the places to visit when looking for great interiors with precious antiques, sumptuous ambience and English food - something "special".
So I was recently relatively spontaneous with my company there for breakfast. We called in advance by phone and were promised that a table will be kept for us until we arrive. When we walked in there were plenty of tables and we were placed by a young friendly waitress in the back of the big restaurant. The Victorian House convinces immediately after entering: with a small bar - on the numerous fresh cakes stood, with many splendid pictures, yellow walls, high stucco ceilings, heavy floral pattern curtains, in massive frames framed original oil paintings, hand-embroidered tapestry pillows on the benches dark furniture, terracotta floors and countless details that make you feel like you've traveled back in time to former England by stepping back in time. In the rear area - a somewhat secluded room - we liked it but not so good, as it was quite bleak and also smelled of kitchen.
We were allowed to sit in the front area immediately when we asked. Front - on the long greenish bench, right by the windows with huge, Chinese flower vases, we liked it better, the daylight flows through the window front into the restaurant, it looks bright and friendly. It quickly creates a cozy living room ambience in a noble style. I felt good, especially because we were served quickly and politely and fit in everything. Look at the best on the snapped pictures of the ambience and you will quickly understand why it is so cozy here. Although the tables are relatively close together, we still did not feel constrained or overheard.
After we had studied the huge DIN A3 menus, the numerous different breakfasts and had finally decided we ordered the always attentive, yet reserved staff. We chose two different breakfasts. I decided after some consideration for the "Knightsbridge" for 9 €, consisting of three scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and diced tomatoes, to a bread basket and butter. My companion chose the "Chelsea" for € 13.40, which included a bowl of fruit salad, a glass of fresh orange juice (0.1l), a freshly baked croissant, a selection of breakfast wraps, jams, honey, nutella, butter and international cheeses Includes sausages.
For this we ordered a simple omelet "nature" for my companion (for 4,90 €). This would have it alternatively z. B. with bacon, onions, mushrooms or potatoes with bacon. With smoked salmon it would have cost € 8.20. For drinking I chose a coke light (2.90 €), my companion a cappuccino (2.80 €). Certainly one should actually drink tea in the restaurant "The Victorian House", as the selection of different teas as mentioned is unbeatable and many varieties are waiting to be tested by you - but I was more into cold. On the negative side, the served and on the menu as "fresh orange juice" advertised juice was definitely juice from the bag or bottle. Not so wild, as the breakfast was reasonably priced, but not what you expect. The served bread basket was very generous and the numerous small and beautiful soft bread rolls were perfectly adequate - or left a lot of it. The croissant was tender and fresh baked.
The teas are also available for those in a hurry to take away and convince by the fact that they release the flavor into the tea water exclusively in the sieve and not in typical tea bags. In addition to the breakfast, the Victorian House offers numerous delicious main courses (from 12 clock), such as risotto with peas, gorgonzola, peanuts, etc. for € 11.80; typical English Fish & Chips for 15,80 €; Steak and ale pie for € 16.50, pork tenderloin medallions; Sandwich with fried bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise and fries for 12,80 €. As appetizers are for example carrot-ginger soup, smoked salmon with potato rösti and herb cream, wild herb salad or Caesar Salad priced from 6 € to 11,90 € on the card.
The opening hours of the Vicotrian House are a bit complicated. Take a look right here . In fact, you can only reserve a table until 11:30 on weekends and public holidays. The restaurant serves (regular) daily from 09:30 to 21:00 breakfast (until 14:00), lunch (Monday to Friday business lunch (11:30 to 15:00) for an average of 7 €, reflecting this location perfectly fine), the typical traditional afternoon tea with "clotted cream from Cornwall" and also dinner. Card payment is possible. Parking is rather difficult as the restaurant is right on the Viktualienmarkt - very close to the Master's home . Public you can reach the restaurant best on the Isartor or the Marienplatz (all S-Bahn lines).
If you are still looking for a location for your celebration (from 30 people), such as birthday or wedding, you can also rent the Victorian House. Bone China, fine linen, crystal and silver cutlery are on offer. Of course, the menu will be put together according to your own wishes. We paid 37 € with tipping. For two breakfasts, an additional omelet and two drinks quite okay for Munich city center conditions. I would definitely recommend a visit to Victorian House.
Certainly nothing for every day and from breakfast rather simple fare, or was for example at our breakfasts, nothing that you could not buy in a regular supermarket for breakfast at home, but still recommendable and very comfortable with convincing service and above all a unique ambience. In the evening, the tables are set white, the English flair grows a bit. Be sure to reserve if you wish to visit Victorian House at any time. I advise you to do that. First of all because of the ambience.
I'll be back: Basically yes. The ambience is convincing. The breakfast is simple but delicious. If you want to dine in English ambience you are right here.
