Weißes Bräuhaus
Anyone visiting Munich
should make the pilgrimage to
this venerable beer hall
(see p80)
- symbolic of all Bavarian pubs
and the most famous pub in the
world. Locals, too, simply can't
stay away. Brass bands play daily
at noon and again after 6pm.

Here you'll sample Munich
cuisine prepared to perfection:
Pfannkuchensuppe
(clear broth
with pancake strips),
G'schwollene
(fried veal sausage),
Schweins-
braten
(roast pork). The meals are
inexpensive, and experienced
staff are renowned for keeping
up with the onslaught of orders
from clamouring customers. A
wheat ale is the most common
brew served here; or try a pint of
delicious Schneider Weiße.

Augustinerbräu
Here in this historic building,
thirsty travellers will find a beer
hall and a restaurant with spectac-
ular decor (including the Muschel-
saal, a shell-lined room). The fare is
typically Bavarian, the beverage,
the famous Augustiner beer. In
summer, choose between a table
on the patio in the pedestrian
zone, or in the stunningly beauti-
ful Arkadenhof to the rear.

In 1999, this traditional beer
haven high above the Isar burned
to the ground. Since 2003, how-
ever, politicians have once again
gathered in the reconstructed
Paulaner pub for the annual
Salvator beer tapping. When
this star-studded event has
ended, “ordinary” patrons
flock to the pub on the
mountain for a taste of
dark bock beer,
with 18 per cent
alcohol
content.
