Lively riverside brunch spot with big portions and sunny terrace; great for breakfast but service can be brusque and waits happen at peak times.
Catwalk delivers solid brunch fare with strong food quality and an exceptional riverside terrace setting that makes it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants. However, quality varies noticeably—stale bread and inconsistent bagels undermine reliability—while service swings between friendly and brusque, particularly during peak hours. The grade reflects genuine strengths in setting and portions offset by execution gaps that prevent higher standing.
On the leafy banks of the Isar, Catwalk hums with a warm, bustling terrace scene where plates of eggs, bagels, and stacked sandwiches pass in a steady stream. Reviewers describe the setting as stylish yet relaxed, noting a sunny riverside vibe ideal for lazy brunches. One diner summed it up: "Hearty, beautiful and tasty," though a few warn that peak hours can mean long waits and curt responses. The cooking leans toward elevated comfort—think generous breakfast sets, crisp potatoes, and crowd-pleasing sandwiches—more produce-driven brunch than culinary theater. Portions are reliably large, and many find pricing fair for the location, though add-ons like premium bottled water can sting. Expect classic flavors with small twists rather than flashy fusion. Families do well here thanks to simple, familiar dishes—eggs, bread baskets, yogurt, fruit—and kid-pleasing ice cream. There is no noted kids menu, but the breakfast sets and extras adapt easily. On sunny weekends the terrace is prime, so book ahead and be prepared for a lively crowd.
