Munich: Restaurants

Alter Simpl

Once a rendezvous for beardy intellectuals frequented by Herman Hesse, Alter Simpl hasn't lost the edgy atmosphere that helped it fall out of favour with the Nazis. The Schweinebraten is downright delicious.

Tel: +49 (0)89 272 3083
BLUE NILE

Ethiopian food should be scooped up and eaten using your hands; the dishes at Munich's legendary Blue Nile are served accordingly without cutlery. The portions are generous, the atmosphere relaxed, and the honey wine flowing.

Address: 22A SIEGESTRASSE. | Tel: +49 (0)89 342389
HOFER

Now a top-class Bavarian/Austrian restaurant offering medieval-style feasts in its gothic vaults, the Hofer is the oldest maintained merchant estate building in Munich and also the birthplace of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.

Address: 20 DIENERSTRASSE. | Tel: +49 (0)89 2421 0444
KONIGSHOF RESTAURANT

Overwhelmingly opulent dining is the order of the day at the Königshof (pictured). Throw in fine vintage wine, and a kitchen that has earned not only a Michelin star, but also 18 points in Gault Millau, and you won't be disappointed.

Address: 25 KARLPLATZ. | Tel: +49 (0)89 551 360
MASTER'S HOME

Although lathered thick with British colonial charm, Master's Home actually specialises in Italian cuisine. Come for simple staples with the added flair you would expect from a restaurant that chills its beer in a vintage bath.

Address: 11 FRAUENSTRASSE. | Tel: +49 (0)89 229909
OLYMPIAPARK

Constructed for the 1972 Olympics, this is a major meeting point for Munich's masses. Doze on the grass, ice skate, or check out the high-altitude rock music museum.

Address: 21 SPIRIDON-LOUIS-RING. | Tel: +49 (0)89 30670
VICTORIAN HOUSE SCONERY

Scone To Go at the Victorian House Sconery (pictured) is English fast-food with a profoundly regal touch. Whether you pronounce it “skon” or “skohn”, it still arrives at the same lightning-fast speed. Enjoy with a dollop of clotted cream.

Address: 16 THEATINERSTRASSE. | Tel: +49 89 2422 4396
Weinhaus Neuner

Dating back to the 15th century, Weinhaus Neuner was originally used by Duke Wilhelm as a court cellar. It now serves as a fantastic restaurant offering modern variants of traditional German cuisine, such as tasty Bavarian duck.

Address: 8 Herzogspitalstr. | Tel: +49 (0)89 2603954
