When I was in Germany on a business trip, I asked my coworker to take us out to dinner in a good…read moretraditional German restaurant. It seems that the city we were in was a small town and there weren't a lot of dinning options, unless we drive into the city (Munich). I was pretty tired with jet lag, so instead of a 45 minute drive, he suggested we come here instead. The restaurant is actually located inside a hotel. From the looks of it, it seemed like a pretty pricey joint. As we proceeded inside the restaurant, I noticed that most of the restaurant patrons were..shall we say elderly? They were dressed up real nice which made me feel kind of out of place since I was only wearing a t-shirt. The decoration seem nice and elegant, which explains the ages of the guest. But its nice to be dinning in a place like this once a while. The menus were in both German and English, however, I still have no idea which ones would be considered a traditional German dish. So I had to ask my coworker and he suggested I get the Spanferkel, or Suckling Pig. It sounded delicious and I was so glad I went with it. The dish had crispy skin on the outside, and inside the pork was cooked very nicely. It was juicy with a lot of flavors. And the sauce served with the dish was rich and yummy. As for the drinking choice for the evening, I had to go with ordering a beers while I am in Germany. The waiter suggested I go with their house brew beer Brau Weisse. As it turns out, the entire establishment is a family owned business. The same family who owns the hotel, also owns this restaurant and the beer brewery located on the same property. And the waiter said they paid a lot of attention to their business. They are constantly on the property managing their business. Sure enough, moments later a woman walked by our table, asked us about how's everything so far with a big smile. Even though I felt like I was dinning in some German grandparents dinning room, the food and service was excellent. The dishes we order might be a bit expensive by me, but i had a great time and enjoyed my dinner and beer a lot. And I was very glad to be able to experience some German culture.

Wonderful. Just simply wonderful. The Brauereigasthof Aying has always been a great location with…read moreimpeccable service and fantastic food. They had a beer sommelier for quite a while that helps you figuring out what of the fantastic (Family run) Ayinger brewery beers goes best with your dish. And now - for the last 6 months (approx) - they have a new chef that whips out even better food than the predecessor. WOW. Seriously impressed.

Okay. This will be an interesting recommendation: If you ever go to Munich, bets are that you will…read moretravel by air, either on your way to Munich from airport or when you return from Munich to airport; stop by Neufahrn, just two stops from the airport and visit Maisberger which is steps from the train station. Whatever you eat (pork medallions are great but currywurst is awesome too and I heard that they made it all by themselves) drink one Huber weisse which is a beer brewed in Freising and hard to find in Munich. I don't know you my friend but I firmly believe that you will be thankful to me after your experience.

I found this place purely by accident on my way down from Andechs to Herrsching, and it was a…read moredelightful surprise: the menu offers exquisite combinations - some perfect, some intersting investigations into a new cuisine that combines eastern techniques with European classics in a minimalist way. I had two starters (and was offered a very good amuse gueule) for lunch and had enough, but the quantities are definitely not what you should come here for. But for surprisingly good cuisine, a beautiful setting and relaxation, yes, this is a correct place. I did not stay at the hotel but wandered around in the restaurant (I actually ate outside) and perused their brochure and I have no doubt the stay in the hotel is as rewarding as the restaurant, and I will definitely try it next time I'm in Munich. Service was perfect, and the wine quite OK: they normally have full bottles which was a bit too much for a lunch alone, so I was offered a Chardonnay from Southern Tirol at 13,50 EUR for a pichet instead. A very enjoyable experience.
