Fancy a dinner with a view? Munich from above is definitely something to be seen. The Falstaff editorial team reveals the most spectacular addresses for culinary delights high above the rooftops of the Bavarian capital.

The beautiful bar in the high room with its casual flair leaves enough space for travellers, after-work parties or dates, because everyone feels right at home here. The view from the Werksviertel towards the city centre or from the terrace towards the mountains is spectacular, the drinks are varied and always well made.

Munich dishes with a French influence and a view of the Olympic Tower and park taste particularly good on the terrace. Fresh fish and Käfer classics are prepared in the open kitchen.

What a spectacular view over Munich! All the way to the Alps. Add to that a cocktail or drink and sit back and relax. Mediterranean dishes are served to satisfy your hunger. First Class!

The group of architects led by Günter Behnisch created an icon for the 1972 Olympics with the "Olypark". Nowhere can the view over the buildings be enjoyed as well as on Deck 21, where summer long drinks accompany the sunset or the bar food makes for a casual dinner in an extraordinary atmosphere.

Light and healthy dishes from the spa kitchen with a cool drink. Who could resist? On the terrace or in the glazed conservatory: the view over the rooftops of Munich is just as impressive.

In the evening you can see the moon from the roof terrace of the Deutsches Museum. But what you can do here all day long is eat and drink well. Simple hearty dishes, accompanied by the right drinks.

Centrally located in the heart of Munich's old town, yet hidden away, is the Louis Roof Terrace on top of the Hotel Louis at the Viktualienmarkt. After registering at the reception, you can take the elevator to the sixth floor and walk down a narrow corridor, directly on to Munich's cutest roof terrace, with a view of the Frauenkirche, City Hall and Alter Peter.  You will experience a warm and intimate atmosphere with an extensive cocktail offer. From 17:30 guests are served seasonal creations from the grill. Jan Thomsen has been responsible for the menu since last year. He comes from the Hotel & Chalet Aurelio on the Arlberg and at the age of 27 was already the head of a twelve-strong kitchen team in the Esszimmer restaurant, within the Zweite Heimat hotel in St. Peter Ording.

Cool industrial design in the former thermal power station. Things are also hot in the kitchen, which focuses on regional and seasonal dishes. You can feast around the clock here; morning, noon and evening.

Open in all weathers, the roof terrace is a popular meeting place all year round. Only drinks are offered here; food is ordered in the restaurant on the ground floor and taken upstairs.
