 Exclusive Italian food |
Frans-Hals-Straße 3 Munich, Bayern 81479 Germany +49 89 79 9885 http://www.al-pino.de/ info@al-pino.de |
This restaurant offers high-class Italian cuisine in quiet and sunny surroundings. Although located in up-market Solln, it is not just a haven for the wealthy. You will look in vain for pizza on the menu: the main emphasis is on exquisite pasta and traditional main courses, with the fish dishes being particularly good. The wine list is excellent, although a bit pricey. In the summer, guests can sit outside on the sunny patio. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Grandiose aristocratic house |
Maria-Einsiedel-Straße 45 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany |
This was once the home and studio of Cosmas Damian Asam, an important painter of the late baroque period. The facade of the Asamschlößl is a rare example of the sort which was once so widespread in Munich. The painter acquired the estate in 1724, added a studio and started to decorate the facade with his work. At the time, the grounds also included buildings for the workers, a geometrically designed garden and a chapel built by his brother Egid Quirin. The house was rebuilt after the War by Schleich and the paintings on its facade restored. Quality regional cuisine has been served here at reasonable prices since 1993. The dining rooms are traditional and comfortable, comprising the Tirol Room, a lounge with a clay oven and a beautiful garden. Celebrities from the nearby film studios in Geiselgasteig are regular guests here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Traditional brewery with good food |
Zornedinger Straße 2 Aying Munich, Bayern 85653 Germany +49 8095 9065 brauereigasthof@ayinger-bier.de |
The Inselkammer family has been producing a very drinkable and much-loved beer in the traditional Aying Brewery since 1878. The menu features typical Bavarian fare (including a type of bread soup) as well as a good variety of regional cuisine with an international flavor. There is a beer garden with seating for 200.

The oldest brewery in the world |
Weihenstephaner Str 1 Freising Munich, Bayern 85354 Germany +49 81 611 3004 |
The Benedictine monks have been brewing beer here since 1040, making this place the oldest brewery in the world. The brewery now belongs to the state, but still attracts customers with a selection of Bavarian specialties served in enormous portions (from 11:30a-10p). The beer garden offers a great view of the mountains north of Munich. An old law allows you to bring your own food, but there's really no need! 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 |

Gourmet Italian |
Willibaldstraße 24 Laim Munich, Bayern 80689 Germany +49 89 5464 3737 http://www.dolcesosta.de |
A new and elegant Italian restaurant in unusual surroundings - in the middle of a residential district in western Munich. Dolce Sosta (meaning 'sweet break') is run by Gianfranco Artiaco and Giuseppe Vuoso who opened their own restaurant after having worked for a long time in other Italian restaurants. In a simple yet pleasant atmosphere, they offer beautiful fish and meat creations which belong in the realm of Italian high cuisine. Review © 2007, Wcities |

French restaurant, Bavarian beer garden |
Zentralländstraße 30 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany +49 89 7429 9715 |
Idyllically situated near the banks of the River Isar, yet not far from the city centre, this restaurant - housed in a 19th century neo-Renaissance villa - is soberly decorated in black and white, but offers delicious French cuisine at fairly reasonable prices (the fish dishes are particularly good!). The main attraction is the beer garden, which is tucked well away from the traffic and also offers hearty Bavarian fare. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good food, great views |
Oberzeismering Tutzing Munich, Bayern 82327 Germany +49 81 58 8242 http://www.ilkahoehe.de ilkahoehe@t-online.de |
Specialising in exquisitely prepared Bavarian fish and game dishes, the food is excellent although slightly pricey. It is, however, well worth the splurge and there are beautiful views from the beer garden of Lake Starnberger and the Alps (weather permitting). But it is not the end of the world if you have to sit indoors as the interior decor is extremely cosy. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Beer garden with jazz |
Georg-Kalb-Straße 3 Großhesselohe Munich, Bayern 82049 Germany +49 89 7499 4030 http://www.waldwirtschaft.de/ info@waldwirtschaft.de |
Charmingly located in Isartal, this popular Bavarian establishment serves up high-quality traditional cuisine at mid-range prices. Waldwirtschaft is known for its large beer garden (2,500 seats and a children's playground with swings), which offers local grilled specialities and live jazz and dixie bands. Some time ago, complaints from residents about the music led to the introduction of an early closing time, but local landlords organised a 'beer garden revolt' which resulted in the closing time being extended to 11p.

A taste of Austria |
Nördliche Münchner Straße 2 Grünwald Munich, Bayern 82031 Germany +49 89 649 2304 |
This place offers authentic Austrian cuisine served in a cosy, bright and tastefully rustic atmosphere. Although Austria borders Bavaria, there is a fair difference between this and Bavarian food, especially the desserts, which are much more refined than their German equivalent. However, savoury specialities such as Backhendl (roast chicken) or Tafelspitz (soured boiled rump) are also carefully and exquisitely prepared. In summer you can relax over a pleasant meal and a glass of Austrian wine in the adjoining garden. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Out of town cabaret |
Sudetendeutsche Straße 40 Am Hart Munich, Bayern 80937 Germany +49 (0)89 3186 7771 http://www.hinterhoftheater.de/ |
This small cabaret theatre in the Wirtshaus am Hart inn is situated in the northern suburbs. A dependance of the highly respected Schlachthof, the reputation of the former has stood it in good stead. As a result, world famous cabaret stars and local personalities like Eisi Gulp and Faltsch Wagoni are prepared to make the trek out to this quiet residential suburb. The beer garden is a great place to relax in summer and every Friday the tempo picks up for 'reggae night'. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Superb Bavarian folk theatre |
Wilhelm-Leibl-Straße 22 Solln Munich, Bayern 81479 Germany +49 89 79 4214 iberl@aol.com |
The cosy ambience of Georg Maier's Iberl-Bühne has been Munich's best venue for down-to-earth Bavarian folk theatre since 1966. There are performances here every evening from 8pm, most of them penned by Maier himself. The reputation of these shows, such as Grattleroper, stretches way beyond Munich. Food and drink is an essential part of Bavarian hospitality, and nowhere less than in this sort of theatre. Attached to the one hundred seater theatre is a wonderful old Bavarian pub with a beer garden. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small, charming brewery |
Kreuzeckstraße 23 Großhesselohe Munich, Bayern 82049 Germany +49 89 79 8961 http://www.isarbraeu.de/ info@isarbraeu.de |
This small brewery, opened in an old train station, offers simple, traditional, Bavarian cuisine as well as every Bavarian's staple liquid diet: Weissbier (yeast beer). Another speciality which is highly recommended is the roast pork in beer. The staff are friendly in a typical Bavarian kind of way; tours of the brewery can be arranged by prior appointment.

Geared towards cyclists |
Linienstraße 93 Deisenhofen Munich, Bayern 82041 Germany +49 89 613 9010 |
A traditional Bavarian pub with first-class local specialities, a beautiful beer garden with seating for 2,500, a small sun-terrace and a service station (including a pump) for cyclists. The latter tradition goes back to the days of Franz Xaver Kugler, the landlord in 1922, who topped up his glasses of beer with lemonade during the post-war beer shortage. His innovation was named 'Radler' (cyclist) after his regular customers, and the drink (half beer and half lemonade) has now become famous throughout Germany. Review © 2007, Wcities |
