There are several good options for speecialty coffee in München.
- Sweet Drops near Viktualienmarkt. Maps link
- Man vs. Maschine is a solid option too. Maps link
- Café Blá specialty coffee, but also beer. Not as pure play as the other two. Maps
- Personal favorite 2025: Petit Fritz. Great for oysters and some sparkling wine, followed by one of their signature tartines (french style grilled sandwich). Very good selection of wine sold on glass.
- Personal favorite 2024: Blaue Libelle
- Calculate about 3 dishes per person. Great wine list, inkluding several naked wine/orange wine.
- You can't go wrong at Restaurant Laurin Südtirol near Viktualienmarkt. Maps
- Great value for the price. Southern Alps cuisine with a mix of vagetarian and meat dishes. Check the daily specials or go for the classics. Good wines too!
- My tips: Tiroler Trio, Knödeltris, or the Tatar. For more of a snack/starter go for the Tiroler Bauernspeck
- Traditional Bavarian Breakfast (Weißwurst, Breze, Weißbier) at Augustiner Klosterwirt is a great way to start the day right.
- Note: Stops serving Weißwurst at 12:00.
- Classic Bavarian local restaurant we used to frequent after work. Eviges Licht
- Extra local on Thursday nights
- Modern bavarian
- Traditional bavarian Andechser am Dom
- Andechser Klosterbier is very drinkable!
- Historic beutiful destination Café Luitpold
- Quick lunch bite in the city?
- Super fresh. Very tasty. Sesam Falafel
- Hand pulled chinese style nudels in spycy broth Max´s Beef Noodles
- Or get something at Viktualienmarkt (for the adventurous: don't miss the horse bratwurst at the "Pferdemetzgerei")
- Catching the trends? Just check the solid bar/restaurant tips from Süddeutsche Zeitung
I don't do drugs, but the park north of Hauptbahnhof is notorius, otherwise Band or Telegram app. Cannabis is legal, but please follow local rules - no smoking in beergardens, near kindergartens, etc. Look it up. I am the wrong person to ask. :-)
Backstage is the best venue for fringe metal in Germany. Check the program. There are also regular smaller alternative acts (club size venue).
Amazing biergarten in the park. Live musik for Frühshoppen and on in the evenings. Find the program on their Königlischer Hirschgarten homepage.
