We have looked forward to all the dishes that aren't readily available at home, but sometimes good ole comfort food is what we need. This fit the bill. My wife had a salads and I opted for the cheese burger with added bacon, and a side of fries. The drinks were great as well, We so wish that the U.S. would adopt the serving style where the alcohol is in the glass and they bring the soda in a bottle to be added at the table. In the U.S., it usually comes from a soda gun that might, or might not be clean, and is always flat. My burger was cooked medium, with a bit of pink, just the way I like it. The fries were soft in the middle with a slight crunch to them, with flaky salt. My wife's salad had a bit too much dressing for her tastes but I thought it was good. We have started sharing meals this way, as our appetites are smaller now that we are getting a bit older.

While there is no direct correlation to Hamburg, Germany, the word hamburger does originate here…read more And while Munich is on the clear other side of the country, The Beef Crew here know their hamburger. For my first time here I tried their "Cheese Explosion Burger". This monster lives up to its name! I forget how many cheeses this thing has because quite frankly I never heard of some of them before. But rather than ketchup, mayo, or some special dressing...this burger comes with nacho cheese as its condiment. Again the name: Cheese Explosion. As you can see from my photo it is also garnished with two kinds of fried cheese skewered to the top bun. Cheese Explosion. At the risk of stating the obvious: this is a burger for folks who love cheese. Also, if you don't like pink in your burger...make sure to tell them. They serve all their burgers medium.

Last meal while on vacation in Munich and it was one to remember. Maybe is was just the company I…read morekept (my wife) or the love we have for the city or that the place is dimly lit but it felt pretty romantic.

We stopped at Bratwurstherzl as part of a food tour in Munich, so our experience was limited to…read morewhat was included with the tour rather than ordering from the full menu. I absolutely loved the inside of this restaurant! It has such a traditional, old-world Bavarian feel and was exactly the type of atmosphere I was hoping to experience while in Munich. You can see into the cooking area, and the entire place just feels very authentic and full of character. There is also outdoor seating, but I was really glad we sat inside because the interior was my favorite part. For our tasting, we were served a selection of bratwurst with sauerkraut. Personally, I did not love the bratwurst we tried. It just wasn't really to my taste, although I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it while in Bavaria. Beer was included with our food tour, and I asked if I could substitute wine since I don't drink beer, but I wasn't able to. I believe that was a limitation of the food tour rather than the restaurant itself, so I wouldn't hold that against Bratwurstherzl. Overall, I really enjoyed seeing this restaurant and especially loved the traditional atmosphere inside. While the particular bratwurst we sampled wasn't my favorite, I would be interested in coming back on my own and trying something else from the menu.

This was a delightful place for a meal and not a five minute walk from my hotel. We came here…read morebecause the person behind the counter [at the hotel] told us we should try it here but be prepared to wait a bit as they do get busy in the evening. Like she said, The restaurant was busy and we did not have have reservations. The very nice gentleman who was greeting the incoming guests just smiled and asked us to wait patiently for a few minutes... Not ten minutes later, we were able to get a table. Helene (my wife) and I are pretty much creatures of habit, We usually eat light in the evenings while traveling and we are both in love with European pizza... It's always so fresh and tasty. So, we ordered the pizza and an order of mozzarella and tomatoes. Everything was wonderful. This was one large pizza (and we managed to finish it). So Perfect, everything was fresh, hot (or cold when it needed to be) and tasty! When we returned to the hotel, we thanked the team member behind the counter and told her that We truly enjoyed our meal and had a lovely time. KUDOs to the team at L'Osteria.

You will find more updated info and recent reviews. Had to learn this the hard way, LOL! Had a wonderful dinner at Zum Franziskaner, thanks in part to Mr Tran, our waiter and culinary tour guide. He listened to our orders, but gave us great feedback on how we could better experience the local specialties. He did this without being pushy or making us feel awkward. Thanks to him, dinner was incredible! We ordered Obatza and pretzels as our appetizer, and Mr Tran asked if we wanted to try something special, for a little more money. We couldn't really understand what it was (my German is limited) so we decided to go for it. And I am glad we did! He brought out a triple decker appetizer tower that was amazing! It had a burrata and tomato caprese dish, a salmon and shaved horseradish dish, and a rare beef with horseradish sauce dish. Beautifully plated and delicious--and totally unexpected. The Obatza was good, but this was definitely next level. For dinner, we decided on the Schweinsbraten (roast pork), the Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle), and the Weiner schnitzel. All were solid dishes, but the Schweinsbraten with the tender meat contrasting with the crunchy savory skin was outstanding. Of course we heard so much about Radler beer that we had to try that as well. Beer with lemonade... sounds strange, but it was good and definitely refreshing. Of course Mr Tran let us know that Radlers are not really beer (LOL!). So he talked us into trying the local specialties--Weissbier and Kellerbier. Both beers are brewed in house and on tap. He suggested we order one of each and brought extra glasses so we could sample both beers. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I really liked the smooth, creamy Kellerbier. I would definitely get that again. Although we were so full by the end, Mr Tran had one more suggestion for us--Leberkäse. It's made of finely ground pork and bacon and has a light airy texture with a thin crust. Apparently it is one of the specialties of the restaurant (along with the white sausages that are only served for breakfast). We decided to order a small piece to try. The flavor was very mild and Mr Tran recommended that we dip pieces of it in their homemade sweet mustard. Loved the mustard, and was glad to have had a chance to try this traditional dish. Mr Tran also pointed out the historic nature of the restaurant. There was a brewery called the Franziskaner (name from a nearby monastery) here before the restaurant opened in 1447--way before Columbus set sail. It has been owned by Löwenbräu since 1888. Overall, we had a great time eating traditional dishes and drinking local beer in a historic restaurant. Highly recommend!

Staff: they were kind and patient as there were a lot of us! Food/Drinks: 1. I just got apple juice haha but my dad got a Radler and I was able to try. I surprisingly liked it because it was light and it didn't 'sting' my throat like other kinds of beer. It had a nice lemon flavor in there too which I think made it taste really good! 2. Salad was not bad, nothing outstanding. I don't mind the sourness but the vinaigrette may be a bit too much for some people. 3. Pretzel. The pretzel looked lovely but it was very hard and also very salty. Good with soup, I suppose! 4. I got the pork knuckle. First time every trying! It was delicious and full of tender meat! It didn't feel oily or heavy. It was very good and I hope when I eat pork knuckle in the future again, it'll be just as good! I'm not a fan of their "dumplings" which is just a ball of dough but it can be more filling and it can soak up the sauce. 5. For dessert we got a donut-like thing which was a sliced apple wrapped in a donut (that's the best I can explain haha). It was good because it wasn't sweet. I appreciate desserts here because it's not as sweet as the sweets I eat in the states. It was lovely and I could actually taste the nice apple inside! Great experience and delicious, even though there were many of us! I'm not sure about the price- specifically but when I looked at the menu, their dishes were reasonable since they give you great portions, too!

Wonderful local wine bar in Munich. We met a friend there on a Tuesday evening and the place was…read morehopping. It is attached to a hotel but you get the feeling that the patrons are local. The wine list both by the glass and bottle is extensive. The stemware is gorgeous. We started with a German sparkling rose and moved on to a beautiful white wine to pair with our dinner. Be forewarned, the menu is quite limited. The pinchos are really akin to bruschetta with different toppings. We had a caponata and a beet with goat cheese. For the mains, I had the only fish item on the menu. Others enjoyed the risotto and the beef bourguignon. Opted against dessert but the menu looked nice. And the service is spectacular! If you're looking for a great place to meet up with friends, colleagues or even a date, this wine bar ticks all the boxes.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant wasn't too full. We got a spot right away…read more We ordered the Munich schnitzel, the pork knuckle with potato dumpling and for dessert the kaiserschmarrn. The schnitzel was the best thing we had. It was crispy on the outside and went well with the potatoes. The pork knuckle was dry at some parts and moist at others. The crispy outside was too crunchy for me. For me personally I didn't enjoy the potato dumplings. But the portion are very generous. The dessert was a bit on the sweeter side. You can get it with raisins or without. We got it with as its traditionally served with. It adds that extra chew. It goes well with the apple sauce and the rhubarb sauce. Service was really nice. They checked up on us a few times. They spoke perfect English. Food came out fast. The bathroom was also really clean and had all the feminine hygiene products you would need. There's also magazine available in there. Overall food is not bad but not great either. Atmosphere is great and service is good.
