 Beer brewing monks |
Weinstraße 7 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 29 8481 |
The monks from Andechs, also known as the 'Holy Bavarian Mountain', have recently opened up a new establishment opposite the Frauenkirche in the centre of town. The beer-brewing monks have found an experienced partner in innkeeper Sep Krätz and word has got out that the new place is just as good as the old. Rainer Maria Latzte, a former Beuys pupil, decorated the ceilings with his 'Dream of the Bavarian Sky' and guests can order all kinds of traditional Bavarian fare, including a fantastic Fleischpflanzerl (meat loaf with potato salad).

Where Africans go to eat |
Siegesstraße 22a Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 34 2389 |
This simple restaurant without romantic frills is an excellent introduction to oriental and Ethiopian cuisine. The dishes are prepared according to traditional recipes without concessions to the European palate. It will take a moment to adjust before you get into the swing and you will have to learn to eat with your fingers! The pleasant staff will help you out if you are struggling. After a couple of glasses of honey wine, all your inhibitions will disappear anyway. The fact that many Africans eat here speaks volumes about the quality of the food. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An institution in town |
Pfisterstraße 9 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany +49 89 22 1210 |
This old Munich institution had to move from its old home to new lodgings just in front of the Hofbräuhaus. However, the Boettner has remained true to itself and to its clientele. The old furniture was transferred and even the menu has hardly changed: traditional dishes are prepared in classical style by Frank Hartung and Wilhelm Eichinger. There is a great wine list and a lovely garden. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fish the French way |
Rablstraße 37 Haidhausen Munich, Bayern 81669 Germany +49 89 48 7220 |
This pleasant place concentrates on fish cooked the French way. With the fish shop L'Océan just around the corner, you can be sure that only the freshest fish is served. The preparation is simple yet perfect; the fish is often served grilled with assorted vegetables. The five-course meal EUR 37 is good value and should ideally be accompanied by a bottle of the house Muscadet. Main courses cost about EUR 17.50-20. Review © 2007, Wcities |

High-cholesterol American cuisine |
Hofmannstraße 19 Sendling Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany +49 89 7874 9022 |
This restaurant took its name from one of America's most-wanted bank robbers. The decor, however, is not at all American. Dillinger's is located in a lovely arched cellar hung with bright paintings. The food, on the other hand, is typically American: giant burgers, fries, steaks, everything you can think of to take your cholesterol level to new heights. At weekends it is essential to book. You can even bring your dog. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Andalusian tavern |
Belfortstraße 14 Haidhausen Munich, Bayern 81667 Germany +49 89 48 2553 |
This restaurant has the atmosphere of rural Andalusia - down to earth yet romantic. Just sitting here is pleasant enough, but you'll be even happier when the tapas arrive on the table. The wine racks used to decorate the restaurant can't help but tempt you to one of the Spanish wines. Whatever the time of day, El Perro y el Griego is always full, so it can get quite loud and the mood is fairly upbeat. Staff are excellent and always manage to keep on top of things despite the constant throng of customers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Party, party, party |
Gabelsbergerstraße 97 Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 52 2297 http://www.enchilada.de |
A typical Tex-Mex bar, Enchilada has become particularly renowned for its hectic party atmosphere. The clientele is mixed but mostly young. People start the evening with a bang at happy hour (5p-8p) and then continue through to 11pm, when the 'margarita hour' starts. Rumour has it that the food isn't bad either, but you have to be a certain type to want to tuck into your fajitas for EUR 12.50 while teeny-boppers scream and dance. Your time is better spent flirting. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Indian scene |
Baaderstraße 11 Glockenbachviertel Munich, Bayern 80469 Germany +49 89 201 6465 |
Located in the midst of the lively Glockenbachviertel, a neighbourhood brimming with bars and restaurants, this trendy place offers great northern and southern Indian cuisine. The mostly young clientele come here to fill up on a curry, thali, or biryani before heading out into the night; others stay on to drink an Indian beer in the comfort of this fairytale-like and tastefully decorated establishment.

Munich's best-known beer hall |
Platzl 9 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany +49 89 22 1676 http://www.hofbraeuhaus.de |
This most famous of pubs draws people from all over the globe, even at nine in the morning! Its unique charm comes from the Bavarian music and the handful of regulars who gather at the bar. Beer and Schmankerl (roast pork with trimmings) complete the set up. In the summertime 'real' locals make for its wonderful courtyard, while the Festsaal room hosts a Bavarian evening with music every night, costing EUR 4.50 admission. Main meals cost EUR 10-15. A litre tankard of beer costs EUR 5.70 and small mealsEUR 4.45. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Take a trip to Hong Kong |
Kapuzinerstraße 39 Isarvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80469 Germany |
Quotations by Lao Tse inside the menu, comfortable couches, spaciously placed tables, asiatic food, chinese tea, a great variety of rum and whiskey and fully filled up cocktail glasses - the Hong Kong Bar. Not as fast as the former colony of the crown. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fusion food |
Maximiliansplatz 5 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 5502 9741 |
Werner Hunsinger has found a prominent location for his restaurant - in the 'Aubergine' - where Eckart Witzigmann 'reinvented' modern German cuisine. This tradition has been continued, and Hunsinger Pacific serves up daring combinations known as fusion cuisine. The results are spectacular. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Flirt with the rich and famous |
Utzschneiderstraße 1 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80469 Germany +49 89 260 3584 http://www.kays-bistro.de |
The film and art scene in Munich would be all the poorer without Kai Wörsching's fantastic restaurant, a place which brings the famous and the wannabee-famous together. The guests are not the only interesting sight in this restaurant and bistro, however. The decor is equally impressive and is changed every few weeks to reflect a certain theme; the cooking is adapted accordingly. With all this glitz and glamour, it's also a good place to come just for a drink and possibly get to know the man or woman of your dreams. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Trendy and stylish |
Fraunhoferstraße 13 Glockenbachviertel Munich, Bayern 80469 Germany +49 89 260 8518 http://www.kleinschmidtz.de/ |
This up-and-coming restaurant attracts some of the trendiest people in the city, so customers may have to wait a while for a table and kill time in the foyer with a complementary prosecco. Once shown to a seat though, you will revel in the stylish and relaxing atmosphere. The meals are fairly light, with French and Italian influences. The wine list meets the highest expectations, as does the service, which is friendly and efficient. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Candlelit dinners |
Birkenau 31 Giesing Munich, Bayern 81543 Germany +49 89 66 2951 |
Lucillus consists of a long, narrow room, usually very overcrowded, but ideal for striking up conversation and even romance. Those who fancy something more serene should try sitting on the leafy patio - a great place to enjoy excellent food, especially by candlelight. The menu is reasonably priced and the service is pleasant and unobtrusive, making for a great evening all round. The platters of assorted grilled meats and fish are particularly popular.

Convenient Chinese restaurant |
Barerstraße 53 Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80799 Germany +49 89 272 0962 |
A popular Chinese restaurant. Inside, it's like Asian kitsch never went out of fashion. The customers are a mixed bag and lap up the food which, a favorite among locals. There's a huge menu but little variety, featuring many soy sauce-y and 'five spice' dishes. Students or tourists in need of a fast fix will find it handy and fulfilling. Prices are cheap and the staff very friendly. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Steeped in tradition |
Schellingstraße 62 Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80799 Germany +49 89 272 0717 http://www.osteria.de |
The tradition of this Italian restaurant is such that historical figures like Lenin and King Umberto of Italy dined here in the past. Even today, it has lost none of its VIP appeal, with stars from all over the globe coming to sample the tremendous Italian cuisine in stylish surroundings. You'll be glad to know that you won't find novelty food like Pizza Hawaii here. Service is fast, efficient and friendly; the staff are only too pleased to give advice on wines.

Down Under |
Weißenburger Platz 3 Haidhausen Munich, Bayern 81667 Germany +49 89 211 1140 |
What the name promises (or threatens), the Outland provides. The restaurant is fitted in the style of an outback bar, the decor is rustic and simple, and the walls are painted with symbols from the dreamland of all German drop-outs. The clientele is mixed and relaxed - how could it be otherwise in such a place? In the summer time, you can sit outside to eat. But the most remarkable thing is the menu; if you are curious and not afraid to experiment, you can choose the likes of shark steak or fillet of kangaroo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wine & snacks |
Residenzstraße 1 Residenz Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 22 5628 http://www.BayernPfalz.de |
A real Munich institution, situated in the former Royal Guardhouse and especially popular with theatre-goers, this traditional Munich tavern fills up at the end of performances in the nearby theatres and concert houses. Try specialities such as the excellent Stuffed Stomach of Pork - it comes highly recommended. The wine-tasting bar was opened in 1950 by the Landesverband der Pfälzer in Bayern (a regional Bavarian-Palatinate association) to provide a culinary reminder of the ties between the Palatinate and Bavaria.

Water-pipe paradise |
Riesenfeldstraße 18 Milbertshofen Munich, Bayern 80809 Germany +49 89 359 5644 |
When you go into this restaurant, you will find yourself transported into the magical world of 1001 Nights. The Lebanese dishes are prepared with loving care. Guests are spoiled for choice, but the attentive staff and the friendly owners, a married couple, are always ready to assist. After you have eaten, the high point of the evening comes: a deep draw on a water-pipe, filled, of course, with fragrant tobacco. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Munich Germany |
The Countess of Revenlow once said that "Schwabing isn't a place, it's a state of mind". Once home to colonies of artists, bohemians and other alternative types, Schwabing is now teeming with affluent young professionals. But don't be fooled, this part of town has many different faces. Visitors can admire the regal magnificence of 19th century Munich on Review © 2007, Wcities |

Klenzestraße 32 Gärtnerplatzviertel Munich, Bayern 80469 Germany +49 89 26 9336 |

Top Tex-Mex |
Leopoldstraße 13 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 330 40724 |
For some years, Tijuana has reveled in the reputation of being one of the best Mexican places in town. The cocktails, the snacks and the food are all great. Its fine reputation has a price, because you have to reserve in advance or at least grab your table early. Otherwise you will have no chance against the hoards of yuppies and law students. Even if you manage to find space, you cannot rely on being able to relax. The service is often not up to coping with the numbers and long waits are far from unusual. Review © 2007, Wcities |

'The' place for sushi |
Theresienstraße 54 Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 2898 6760 |
For many years this trendy Sushi-bar had just one branch in Haidhausen, but since the new place near the university was opened, it's more busy than ever it was. Traditional Normal Japanese dishes are of course available, but what makes it special is the fresh sushi and sashimi. You can even watch the impressive Japanese cooks preparing your food! The tasty 'snacks' are available in different combinations (from EUR 12) or à la carte for EUR 3 apiece. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tex-Mex meeting place |
Schulstraße 44 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 89 166 5822 |
Many locals are convinced that Zapata is the best Mexican restaurant in Munich. That would be one explanation for the crush. The room is cosy and not overdone. The staff are pleasant and brisk and the music drives rather than accompanies the evening, sometimes a little close to the pain threshold. You are rewarded, though, with authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. And if you add a delicious cocktail (or two), the evening will be rounded off in style. Review © 2007, Wcities |
