Munich Restaurants

  1. Bergwolf

    At this favourite pit stop for night owls, the poison of choice is Currywurst , a sliced spicy sausage provocatively dressed in a curried ketchup and best paired with a pile of steamy fries. Hangover prevention at its finest.

  2. Bratwurstherzl

    Cosy panelling and an ancient vaulted brick ceiling set the tone of this Old Munich chow house with a Franconian focus, awarded an Umweltsiegel (ecoseal) by the Bavarian government. Homemade organic sausages are grilled to perfection on an open beechwood fire, served on heart-shaped tin plates and best enjoyed with a cold beer straight from the wooden keg.

  3. Hundskugel

    Munich's oldest tavern, founded in 1440, has only 40 seats and is so intimate that it feels like sitting inside a cutesy doll house. The food's honest-to-goodness Bavarian home cooking, and the roast suckling pig with dark beer sauce is the undisputed speciality.

  4. Königsquelle

    This local restaurant has long been a Munich institution for its attentive service, consistently excellent food and dark, well-stocked hardwood bar. The dishes are straightforward but expertly prepared, from Wiener schnitzel to boiled beef tips to spinach ravioli, proving you can do wonders with a few good ingredients.

  6. Wirtshaus in der Au

    A traditional Bavarian restaurant with a solid 21st-century vibe - how refreshing is that? Dumplings are the speciality at this top pick near the Deutsches Museum (try the trio with cheese, red beet and spinach variations) but other favourites, updated of course, also keep regulars coming back. Beer garden in summer, crackling fireplace in winter.
