After our first day of exploring and learning about Munich Marienplatz, my friends and I stumbled…read moreupon this small, interesting looking place. Thinking it was some sort of pharmacy or doctor's office, it is more of a bar than a restaurant. It has seating outside and inside. As you go in, you will see the gentlemen working behind the counters, wearing white lab coats like doctors. The staff are super friendly and comical. They offer you nuts to eat, water, and recommendations from their menu. The bar's decor inside is very nice. They have a huge painting on the wall of the bar. We all ordered only beers, as we wanted to wine down a little bit and take a breather from so much walking. And we also used their restrooms which are clean. After, they were so kind as to help us when we asked for directions to our next stop. I definitely recommend this nice bar the next time you are in the area. It is kind of hidden but you can't miss it with their name. I really want to go back and try one of their liquors.

We were in Munich for Octoberfest and staying nearby. I wandered in about lunchtime and asked if…read morethey had english language menus. They politely told me in broken english that was not possible so I knew we would be in for an authentic german meal at suppertime. Our party of 9 had a fabulous time. The beer was great, the food was great, the service was great. The band played what I think was german punk during Octoberfest. None of the staff spoke fluent english but that was not a problem. There were a couple of dogs (golden or lab retrievers) roaming around that were just part of the restaurant.. I don't think they get alot of americans so the owner (I think) came over to visit a while. We probably spend 4 hours dining and beer drinking. I absolutely plan on visiting again next time I go to Octoberfest.

Great place to get breakfast. Huge menu with a lot of different breakfast options to choose from…read more We didn't know what to get so we just picked two different types. It was a lot of food. Fresh and delicious. The prices were reasonable and the staff was ok. The interior is great. Reminds of cafes in France or Italy. Huge counter and many tables. They have a patio up front.

I had a delicious 3 egg shrimp and tomato omelet, my son in law had the French toast special. Both were quite good. Service was prompt and friendly. There is no English menu, but no problem ordering. All was quite reasonably priced. This is not a tourist area, but an easy trip and certainly worth the 15 minute ride from Max Joseph Platz on the tram.

The Manhattan I had here is something to be thought of afterward. Super tasty. The food is great, too. The foie gras is super great with a perfectly seared outside- if it's your thing, go for it. A little old-timey in feel, kind of art deco interior. This is a place for cocktail drinkers, if you want to have a beer, I say keep walking!

Definitely in my top 5 restaurant experiences! So simple but so perfect in every way. We were out…read morewalking for our last day visiting Germany and got hungry, so just stumbled into the random place on a side street. They were booked with reservations for the evening, but fit us in since it was early. Super tiny and black painted walls, but flowers and candles on every table. Great playlist going as well. My gin and tonic was perfectly strong, and the servers were friendly and personable. They only had a German menu with 8 food options, so we used my downloaded German google translate as best we could but had no clue if it would be pasta, salads, or a plated meal. Everything turned out to be loaded salads and it was literally the best food I've had in a long time. I got the duck. Go here!

Still one of my favorite bars in Munich. I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my fond memories, but…read moreit is still as quirky and wonderful as I remembered. For some reason, I thought it was very difficult to find, but it was so easy to take the 19 tram through the heart of town to Maxmonument. Then it is just a couple blocks down Thierschstrasse and right on Mariannenstrasse. Look for the blue sign. No reservations. Cash only. Communal seating. Expect to share a table. It is a funky place primarily filled with 20 and 30-somethings crowded around the bar and small tables. Many are pushed together for larger groups, having lively conversations in the dark space lit by white candles. I think the room is painted gold, but it is hard to tell. The artwork painted on the walls throughout the space is... interesting. A severed finger writing "help" and an ear that is a mouth. It could keep you scratching your head for days. They don't have an English menu, although in another funny twist, many food and beverage items have English names and German descriptions. My remedial German was aided by the waitress, who was the best I've had in Munich this trip. My "Inferno" salad (grilled turkey, roasted potatoes, zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, peanuts and olives) was excellen,t and despite the name, only mild + on my personal spice scale. I also enjoyed a non-traditional "Old Fashioned." For visitors looking for an alternative to the hundreds of sausage and beer focused restaurants in town, this is a great place to try. For me, it is all about the salads and cocktails here. Do yourself a favor and skip the tram on your way back to town. Stroll along Maximillianstrasse (Munich's version of Rodeo Drive) and be blown away by the oppulence and extravagance of the retail elite. Even the streetlights are dripping in crystals.
