The restaurant above Feinkost Käfer's delicatessen on Prinyregentenstraße in Bogenhausen, kitchen and shop under one roof. Great traditional German cuisine.
Address: Prinzregentenstraße 73, 81675 München, Germany
Bavarian fine dining inside Munich's oldest mill building, a ducal mill dating to 1573, with a beautiful vaulted ceiling and a quietly elegant room. The kitchen works to the seasons with regional Bavarian ingredients, refining classic dishes without losing their roots. Recognised by the MICHELIN Guide.
Address: Pfisterstraße 4, 80331 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
A family-run Bavarian tavern on Residenzstraße in the old town, known for its Weisswurst and its own mustard. Traditional Bavarian restaurant with homemade sausage and pretzels.
Address: Residenzstraße 9, 80333 München, Germany
The flagship tavern of the Ayinger private brewery, directly opposite the Hofbräuhaus in Munich's Old Town. Unpretentious Bavarian cooking done properly: crisp roast pork with dark beer gravy, slow-braised ox cheeks and house-made sausages, matched to Ayinger's own beers. Lively and wood-panelled.
Address: Platzl 1A, 80331 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
A tiny jewel box of a chocolate shop and café tucked into the western edge of the Viktualienmarkt. The draw is the drinking chocolate: pick a cube in flavours like salted caramel, hazelnut nougat or chilli orange and stir it into hot milk at your table. Handmade pralines, cakes and good coffee round it out.
Address: Viktualienmarkt 6, 80331 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
Munich's grand coffee house tradition, alive since 1888. Near Odeonsplatz, it pairs a light, airy palm-court room with a serious patisserie counter: house pralines, elaborate cakes and proper coffee specialities. Breakfast runs daily until 3pm, with a full menu into the evening. A civilised place to linger.
Address: Brienner Str. 11, 80333 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
