It was a picturesque experience during my first visit to Germany. The grounds are beautiful, traditional music sets the tone, and giant liter glasses of Hofbrau beer made this an experience I'll never forget. I enjoyed the roasted ox sandwich. The giant pretzel was just ok and fit the mood. I wanted to try the mackerel on a stick but wasn't brave enough. It didn't look visually appealing to me. I recommend planning to be here a couple of hours. When you are done eating, take a long stroll around the English Garden to work off those calories and soak it all in. I would give this 4.5/5 if that were an option only because I thought the food could have been a little better.

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.

Viktualienmarkt Biergarten was easily my favorite beer garden in Munich. Even after being back in…read morethe US, I still find myself missing the beer here! You can order a variety of beers and honestly, you can't go wrong. We often grabbed a Leberkäse sandwich from one of the hundreds of food stalls around Viktualienmarkt and brought it back to the beer garden to enjoy with our beers. Such a simple combination, but absolutely perfect. Service at the beer stand is super quick, though keep in mind it's cash only. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Sitting under the shady trees at communal tables, sharing space with locals and travelers, and striking up random conversations with people around you is exactly what makes this place special. It's a great spot to meet new people, relax, and enjoy a cold Bavarian beer. If you're in Munich, this is a must-visit. One of those places I wish I could teleport back to!

It was really good and juicy. The fries were fresh and salty with dips on the side. We also got Mountain cheese and spinach ravioli with baby spinach, date tomatoes, shiso cress. It was good, fresh and very garlicky but really good. Add a couple local Beers and it was great. Unfortunately, our server was almost none existent. He disappeared for long periods of time. We also at the end of dinner ordered apple strudel but it never came and we sat there for 30 minutes waiting, he never came back. A manger came and asked if we needed anything and I explained, he went to check on it, but it had never even been put in so we paid our bill and left. Not sure what the restaurant looked like but we sat outside in a central garden area of the hotel.

We considered other restaurants in town, but saw that Kupferessel had good reviews and we also valued the convenience of dining at the hotel after our long day. You will not be disappointed if you make the decision that we did - having dinner at Kupferessel. We dined at a table on the deck outside overlooking the quaint, serene courtyard garden tucked behind the hotel. Even though there was a steady, brisk flow of customers dining at the restaurant, our service was prompt and attentive. Our main dishes were timely and were well prepared and well seasoned. We finished our dining experience with apple strudel and an ice cream sundae and both were most excellent. If you are in this area of Munich, or happen to be staying at the Holiday Inn South, I would recommend dining at the Kupferessel.

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!

It is also incredibly convenient to Munich Old Town, which makes it an easy and worthwhile stop while sightseeing.

We actually came two days in a row because we saw the following day was going to offer blood sausage. Unfortunately, they ran out in the early afternoon so we didn't get to have it. On our first day, our waitress was incredibly attentive and we really enjoyed our sharing platter of sausages and sides. We all got a different beer to try and all were equally delicious. We loved the interior with its dark wooden beams. On our second day as mentioned, the food we had wanted to eat was out, so we only ordered drinks which seemed to have disappointed our waitress. We also felt like service was much less attentive so the second time we went wasn't as great of an experience, but nevertheless, we enjoyed our drinks. We definitely still recommend visiting this spot while you're in Munich. It's definitely a must do as it's one of the six main breweries from Munich. They had a really beautiful garden outside that looked absolutely magical, but was only open on good weather days.
