The roasted pork was incredibly tender, and the Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) was exactly what you hope for: a massive portion with skin so crispy it crackles, served with a delicious potato dumpling and rich gravy. It's a cozy, traditional spot tucked away from the main tourist crowds. Excellent service and even better beer!

I loved the historic feel of the restaurant because it added so much character to the meal and made the experience feel authentically Munich. Everything felt polished but still relaxed, and the vibe was lively without being overwhelming. It is also incredibly convenient to Munich Old Town, which makes it an easy and worthwhile stop while sightseeing. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a memorable Bavarian dining experience.

Wow! One of the best schnitzels and beer I have had. I have…read morebeen traveling around Austria and Germany and this is one of the best I have had. I stopped by here by myself maybe around 6pm on a Monday and was seated at a table because the bar was full, but told I only had an hour since they were full for reservations. That was totally fine and knew I wouldn't be more than that. If you are coming here with other people, you definitely need to make a reservation. The servers are dressed in traditional German clothes which is a very cool touch. Everyone I spoke to also spoke English. I ordered the schnitzel and whichever beer they recommended with it. I am typically NOT a beer person, but of course I had to try one and whatever this was, was very good. The schnitzel was so crispy and also very delicious. Highly recommend this place!!

The service at Haufbrauhaus was terrible. I ordered a seasonal beer and it was fantastic and the outside seating was wonderful on a perfect day. Our server was awesome and spoke perfect english. I ordered the charcuterie board and it had a couple of hummus scoops and a beef stick and this scoop of stuff that was way too rich for me with pieces of butter in it, but the Germans love it. The pretzels that came with it were great and the cream cheese scoop went perfectly on the pretzel. One of the best meals in Munich, give it a try.

Far and away, our favorite family meal during our recent trip to Germany and Austria was at the…read moreAugustiner am Platzl in Munich. Situated about two blocks from the main square at Marienplatz, the Augustiner am Platzl sits kitty-corner from the famous (and very touristy) Höfbräuhaus München. The Augustiner is a much smaller beer hall, offers a more authentic atmosphere, and feels very much like a place that locals go. Having eaten there every time I've been to Munich, we chose it as the place for a special family meal. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional German dishes including brathaus beef, Nürnberger sausages, schweinsbraten (pork), roast beef with onion, grilled chicken (for the less adventurous) and more. Soups and salads were also on the menu and our party of 13 ordered a pretty impressive cross-section of the restaurant's dishes. The establishment is tied to the Augustiner brewery, which lays claim to being the oldest of all existing Munich breweries, dating back to the early 14th century. As a result, only Augustiner beers are on offer, though there is a good selection, including "hell" beer (light or bright), edelstoff (a light export beer), dark, pilsner and wheat beer. There is also a decent selection of both red and white German wines and of course, soft drinks. But this is Germany! What adult needs a soft drink? The day we visited was also our oldest grandson's 15th birthday so there were many reasons to celebrate. And this occasion was made even more memorable by the others who shared the upstairs dining room with our party of 13. When we sang "Happy Birthday!" many of our fellow diners joined in the singing and the applause that followed. Talk about making us feel like part of the community! Between the great food, attentive service (even by American standards!) and the convivial atmosphere, I highly recommend the Augustiner am Platzl for anyone wanting a true German dining experience.

The food portions were small, but flavorful, with the exception of the beef filet. It was under seasoned and hubby's was overcooked. The people seated next to us experienced the same issue. We felt the meal was overpriced for the experience. They did have a good wine selection. We ordered a bottle and didn't opt for the wine pairing which also seemed to be overpriced for the selections. There weren't many places open on Christmas Eve, so I give them 4 stars for the entire effort.

Service was less helpful could have confusion with English. We did not understand how the lunch menu worked. The fried fish was overly salty on the inside. His beef dish entree was huge amount and it would have been better value if he had ordered from the lunch special instead of a la carte. Recommended if you only order from the lunch menu because you get a tray with a small soup, small salad, entree and dessert all at once and it's better value.

The restaurant was just a ten minute walk from the hotel and on the way we passed a multitude of restaurants. We walked into a very friendly and busy environment. You could tell all the people sitting around us were having a good time and eating what looked like some really good food. We went to a side room that was just a bit quieter and without missing a beat... ordered a beer. Hard to make a choice with their comprehensive menu, but keeping with our tradition of eating lighter in the evening while traveling we went with: - Tomato and Mozzarella salad - A large piece of toasted bread - Veal Schnitzel with potatoes - Apple Strudel Without going through each item in detail I will say that everything was fantastic! Tomatoes and cheese were so fresh and tasty and the schnitzel was wonderful... Not enough good things to say about the amazing strudel..... Nothing like having apple strudel in Germany. Everyone here was just so friendly and helpful to us. We had a wonderful time and I am happy to recommend them to anyone coming to Munich! KUDOs to the team at Münchner Stubn.

Cozy and charming, it offers breakfast platters from different cultures, with plenty of German specialties. On our second day in Munich, I brought my wife here for a European breakfast--she chose the set platter with a bread basket, while I went with classic Bavarian white sausage and pretzel, plus two eggs for a distinctly American touch. It felt like a scene out of Seinfeld--the German twist on "no soup for you" applies to reservations, so be sure to make one! The prices are moderate, the view is stunning, and the food is simply delicious.

Even though it was quite busy when we arrived, the staff were accommodating and genuinely friendly. Somehow, they managed to find us a table, and later even helped us move closer to the window when one opened up. I was mainly here for the coffee. The food was solid, not mind-blowing but enjoyable. One small thing that caught my attention was the bathroom tipping system, which was a bit confusing at first, but it seems to be a norm in this area, so I can't really fault the café for that. Overall, it's the kind of place I'd come back to for a relaxing coffee break with a view. The atmosphere, jazz music, service, view, and setting all make it a lovely spot to unwind and slow down.
