Zum Brunnergarten is a bit off the beaten path (located in Luitpold Park) but our Airbnb host…read morerecommended it. It's apparently his favourite beer garden in Munich. It's a mix of German and Balkan food.
We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 1:45pm) and it was filled with a small group of German seniors enjoying the sunshine. Seems like a lot of regulars come here.
There's no English menu (we asked) but our server was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. The menu consists of bread, sausages, warm food, small plates and grilled dishes. Their drink menu is extremely cheap and reasonable.
- Radler (€2,90 for 0,5L) - they mix their radler with 7 Up. Not much taste wise but it's light.
- Weissbier (€3,20 for 0,5L) - supposedly malty but to me, it was light. Typical German beer.
- Pfannkuchensuppe (€3,00) - German pancake soup. Broth is a light, clear soup; reminded me of chicken noodle soup. The strips of pancake were interesting but plain.
- Pommes (€3,00) - a side of thin cut fries with a package of curry ketchup. These reminded me of McDonald style fries. Decent filler.
- Grillteller (€12,90) - served with djuvec rice, raw chopped onions and ajvar (red bell pepper and oil sauce). The grilled meat platter included a spicy sausage, two cevapcici, kalbsleber (calf liver) and pork. All the meat was excellently grilled but our favourite cuts were the pork (juicy and moist) and spicy sausage (tasty with a slight kick to it).
Worth a visit especially if you want a more local beer garden experience.
