Wirtshaus in der Au was one of the best traditional Bavarian meals we had in Munich and absolutely…read morelived up to its reputation.
We ordered the beer cheese combo, roasted duck, the famous trio of dumplings, and finished with the Toblerone Bundt cake served with vanilla ice cream. Everything was outstanding. Amazing beer cheese better than those had at other beer gardens. The roasted duck was perfectly cooked with incredible flavor, but the real highlight was the dumpling trio. It's easy to see why they're famous--each one was unique, packed with flavor, and easily the best dumplings I had in Munich. The Toblerone Bundt cake was a decadent and delicious way to end the meal. We paired everything with several glasses of wheat beer and Helles, which complemented the food perfectly.
Service was quick, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit.
The restaurant offers a huge outdoor beer garden along with plenty of indoor seating, making it a great choice for both small and large groups. It's a bit on the expensive side, but the quality of the food makes it well worth it. I'd highly recommend making a reservation, as it's a very popular spot.
