In-Depth Information
Bratwurstherzl €
( 295 113; Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 1; mains €6-10; 10am-11pm Mon-Sat; Marien-
platz, Marienplatz)
Cosy panelling and an ancient vaulted brick ceiling set the tone of
this Old Munich chow house with a Franconian focus. Home-made organic sausages are
grilled to perfection on an open beechwood fire, served on heart-shaped pewter plates and
best enjoyed with a cold beer straight from the wooden keg.
FRANCONIAN
Weisses Brauhaus €€
(Tal 7; mains €8-15; Marienplatz, Marienplatz)
The Weisswurst (veal sausage) sets
the standard for the rest to aspire to; sluice down a pair with the unsurpassed Schneider
Weissbier. Of an evening the dining halls are charged with red-faced, ale-infused hilarity
with Alpine whoops accompanying the rabble-rousing oompah band.
BAVARIAN
La Baracca €€
( 4161 7852;
www.labaracca.eu
; Maxmiliansplatz 9; mains €5.50-14;
11.30am-1am; Odeonsplatz)
At this great new Italian place homely spaces such as a
library and a cushion-strewn chill-out area combine effortlessly with iPad menus, an auto-
mated ordering system and a marble bar with stainless steel stools. The ceiling is made
entirely of huge lengths of driftwood and rustic knick-knacks decorate throughout. Free
wine tasting but untypically small helpings for an Italian eatery.
ITALIAN
Cafe Luitpold €€
(
www.cafe-luitpold.de
;
Briennerstrasse 11; mains €10-18; 8am-7pm Mon, to 11pm
Tue-Sat, 9am-7pm Sun; Odeonsplatz)
A cluster of pillarbox red, streetside tables and
chairs announces you've arrived at this stylish but not uber-cool retreat offering a choice
of three spaces - a lively bar, a less boisterous columned cafe and a cool palm-leaved atri-
um. Good for a daytime coffee and cake or an evening blow-out with all the trimmings.
