The 10 best traditional restaurants in Munich
With one of the leading delicatessens behind it, the tavern naturally has first-class ingredients for seafood étagères or truffle cordon-bleu. Large steak cuts and whole fish are also available!
Bavarian cuisine has a firm place in this historic building, and regional dishes are served for lunch and dinner. In good weather, the wonderful beer garden beckons with hearty classics.
The host duo has been a fixture in Munich's gastronomy scene for 25 years. Only market-fresh ingredients and top-class wines are served here - always unpretentiously and competently.
The Ratskeller on Marienplatz is open seven days a week. Hearty Bavarian classics such as knuckle of pork, roast pork and veal patties are always available here, as well as specialities from all over the world.
Always somewhat under the radar screen of gastronomic guides, the "Halali" near the English Garden in Munich is a fixed and reliable address for gourmets who prefer more than solidly cooked classic Central European cuisine to Euro-Asian fusion monotony. Everything here exudes dignified bourgeoisie, from the deer antlers on the cream-colored walls to the dark wood paneling and the friendly service staff dressed in traditional costume. The two managing directors Hubert Buckl and Hans Reisinger are at the stove in person. This guarantees continuity and helps make up for the occasional weakness in form, such as a fish fillet that was steamed a little too soft or a millefeuille puff pastry that was baked too dark. Otherwise, everything is impeccable. The homemade black pudding with horseradish, mashed potatoes and apple ragout is a hearty starter and can also be taken home as a preserve. If you want to take things a little easier, we recommend a balanced, not too salty venison consommé. After that, you can let it rip with roast foie gras before moving on to the main courses: Lamb, veal liver and veal kidneys, game, beef, Wiener schnitzel, all prepared without chichi with bombastic sauces. The noble fish and crustaceans baked with lobster sauce are reminiscent of the glory days of the Munich celebrity restaurant "Boettner" ("Hummer Thermidor"). Afterwards, the homemade pancakes are a must. The wine list offers interesting discoveries at reasonable prices on the German and Austrian pages.
In the discreet art nouveau setting of the trendy restaurant in the old town, people like to meet for coffee, a drink or a cocktail. The kitchen offers small tasty snacks, a relaxed place-to-be.
Weinhaus Neuner is an inn in the best sense of the word - and with a remarkable wine list. The spacious, historic rooms invite you to linger, as do the schnitzel, chicken fricassee and co.
Rustic and modern, hearty and refined - the Freisinger Hof brings together what is good for you under the motto "The world belongs to those who enjoy". Especially delicious: the potato and chanterelle strudel.
The Pfistermühle is a reliable port of call for really good hospitality. In the upscale, cozy premises in the city center, kitchen craftsmanship and summer delights are lived with understanding.
The landladies want to convey a zest for life - and they succeed in this beautiful restaurant tucked away behind the Viktualienmarkt. Soul-satisfying dishes made from the best Bavarian ingredients are served.
