Single plates are available but in order to truly sample the chef's talents, you should order
a multi-course menu.
LUDWIGSVORSTADT & WESTEND
CAFE
Marais €
(Parkstrasse 2; dishes €5-12; 8am-8pm Mon-Sat, 10am-6pm Sun; ; Holzapfel-
strasse)
Is it a junk shop, a cafe or a sewing shop? Well, Westend's oddest coffeehouse is
in fact all three, and everything you see in this converted haberdashery - the knickknacks,
the cakes and the antique chair you're sitting on - is for sale.
Müller & Söhne €
( 4523 7867; Kazmairstrasse 28; mains €6-12; 9am-11pm Mon-Fri; ; Schw-
anthalerhöhe)
In a former bakery, this sweet, unhurried cafe fits as comfortably as a well-
worn shoe. Everyone from young mothers to office folks and local artists gather behind
the big windows for breakfast, strong Java or tasty, Italian-flavoured sustenance.
MEDITERRANEAN
La Vecchia Masseria €€
(Mathildenstrasse 3; mains €6-15; 11.30am-12.30am; Sendlinger Tor, Send-
linger Tor)
One of Munich's more typically Italian
osteria
, this loud but unquestionably
romantic place has earthy wood tables, antique tin buckets, baskets, and clothing irons
conjuring up the ambience of an Apennine farmhouse. If you're (un)lucky the chef might
come out to greet you in his trademark straw hat.
ITALIAN
GÄRTNERPLATZVIERTEL & GLOCKENBACHVIERTEL
BAVARIAN
Fraunhofer €€
(Fraunhoferstrasse 9; mains €7-17.50; 4pm-1am; ; Müllerstrasse)
With its
screechy parquet floors, stuccoed ceilings, wood panelling and virtually no trace that the
last century even happened, this wonderfully characterful brewpub is one of the city
