The menu has a picture of the original M1 and pretty much looks exactly like a BMW sales brochure - down to the all caps Helvetica typeface.
That pretty much says it all about the M1 Cafe. The atmosphere is trendy, modern, cool - with white walls and white furniture, you feel like you're in some sort of prototype BMW dealership. The menu is seasonal and decidedly upscale in presentation. You're not going to break the bank with your order, but the M1 Cafe is a definite step up from the cafeteria options across the street at BMW Welt.
At lunchtimes on weekdays, it appears that a lot of the tables are reserved for BMW higher ups in their suits and pantsuits, but if you can snag a table, the food options aren't bad for what is essentially a museum restaurant. A variety of cakes and pastries sit at the far end of the bar as dessert options.
Pleasant interior and exterior seating. Solid food. Surprisingly decent prices. Definitely not a bad place to grab a meal while visiting the Welt. read more
