Such a beautiful gem. We were staying at Mercure hotel and the Moments bistro was just opposite to us. We stumbled in for dinner and dessert and really loved it. The lady whom I suppose is also the owner…was really nice and their food was worth every penny. Let’s not get started on their desserts, the cheesecake is a must try! If ever in Garmisch, do definitely visit here!

Our first night in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and after a long day at Zugspitze we decided to try out this restaurant. 5/5 stars! We started with the freshly baked bread topped with walnuts, mountain goat cheese, and honey. It was a delicious appetizer and looked beautiful on the plate. I got a house salad with grilled chicken which was excellent and so so fresh. My husband had the flammkuchen which was delicious! We felt inspired to order the apple strudel and WOW it was amazing. The pastry was crispy and light and the apple filling was perfect. We would highly recommend this restaurant! I also overheard another guest mention the goulash was the best he'd ever had - we're hoping to go back later this week to try it out!

Moments was absolutely amazing!! As an American living in Berlin the food was amazing!! The service was on point and the owner was simply kind and gracious! We spoke German with her and she didn’t correct our bad Berlin German(just kidding)! I can’t wait to come Back and this place is an absolute on your list of places to eat!

We were looking for a place close to our location following heavy rain. We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was special. It felt like everyone knew everyone. We were also surprised by the dishes served. We ordered schnitzel and ribs, which were very tasty. If we come to the area again, we may return for another meal.

A great place to have burgers drinks are also great ! Atmosphere is good with both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is okay! Usually busy in the evening, reservations are recommended! They accept both card and cash payments.

An absolute gem on the edge of History! Amazing food, top notch service in a cozy comfortable setting, all at a very reasonable price! They even have seats in the sun in this shady zone. I highly recommend this wonderful Moments cafe bistro!

Lovely, lovely place! Super staff, super food. We visited for a quick coffee, ended up being very impressed by the cake and espresso tonic (try it, seriously, it's lovely). We noticed they open for food in the evenings too, so we went back. Super chicken burger, and chicken coconut curry. Plus more cake. What's not like? Seems the local customers like it too. They're all very friendly. Nice atmosphere, great food and drinks. Highly recommended.
