Start your food adventure at Viktualienmarkt, Munich’s oldest farmer’s market. Engulf yourself in a bright and dynamic atmosphere filled with an array of culinary treats. Try traditional Bavarian Weisswurst sausages or indulge in meaty Leberkäs to compliment a tall glass of cold beer. Cross the road to Weinhaus Neuner, a well-known restaurant serving regional specialties, such as “Sauerbraten” beef, decorated with potato dumplings and red cabbage.
Visit Hofbrauhaus, one of Munich’s best-known beer halls for some classic Bavarian dishes and a litre of beer. Enjoy a hearty plate of roasted pork knuckle served with potato dumplings, sauerkraut, and gravy, or try the local favourite, Flammkuchen, a thin-crusted pizza garnished with bacon, onions and crème Fraiche. Stroll down to Andechser am Dom for a heavenly dessert of Apfelstrudel or Kaiserschmarrn, shredded pancakes with apple sauce.
Take the subway to Haidhausen neighbourhood and experience its multicultural food scene. Enjoy oriental dishes like hummus, falafel, and shawarma at Byblos or Café Cairo before switching to Italian cuisine at La Pizza, a lively pizza and wine bar. End your food tour with a visit to Gelato Amo and let the flavours of homemade Italian ice-cream sweep you off your feet.
If you have more time, visit the Nymphenburg Palace and their restaurant Schlosscafé im Palmenhaus. If you have less time, you can skip the Haidhausen neighbourhood visit and try other local options such as Alois Dallmayr and Augustiner-Keller.
