So thankful to find a larger grocery chain prior to leaving Germany…read more The food and brand selection was wonderful. The prices were great even though we did not have the frequent buyer rewards card. The grocery was strangely laid out so if it is your first time you will need to go up and down each aisle. Example the pasta is in the back center which is nowhere near the sauces. Great lighting in the store. I absolutely love going in grocery stores when traveling. We were fortunate to have driven so we were able to stock up on German favorites and drinks. This is not an option when flying with carry-on. After trying several items I only wish I had known and would purchased more. The staff that we encountered were friendly.

Okay, so the Bauernmarkt technically, TECHNICALLY, isn't a rest stop. It's a lovely farmers…read moremarket-y place to buy fresh meat and produce, do some basic grocery shopping (think Trader Joe's) and get a (surprisingly affordable and delicious) bite to eat at the cafeteria counter. The fact that it's very conveniently located less than an hour outside of Munich and right off the freeway on the way to Stuttgart is just darn convenient. The cafeteria... just good German classics. Wursts, schnitzels, roasts, or meat chops - served with a vegetable side like red cabbage or green beans and a starchy side like warm potato salad or spaetzle. Waters, sodas, coffees, and beers are all available beverages. Prices at the cafeteria are quite reasonable and you'll be able to get pretty full on less than €10/person. The cafeteria seating area is huge, with extremely tall ceilings and a bright window wall facing the freeway and overlooking the entire valley that Dasing sits in. Leave it to the Bavarians to take a major freeway and turn it into an amazing picturesque dining room view. The market also maintains the rustic nature of the entire building. It's really everything you would expect at a small farmers market - with local jams, olive oils, wines, and snack foods next to fresh local produce, meats, cheeses, eggs and a selection of brand name snacks as well. Prices are very fair for the quality and you'll definitely find stuff here you wouldn't find elsewhere. It's worth a stop every time you're passing by.

A nice little corner market that has about anything you need for a short stay, water, snacks etcread more
