Best Restaurants in Munich (2026)

Eating out in Munich usually means Bavarian food, and the city's traditional taverns are the place to start. Weisses Bräuhaus im Tal serves Weisswurst breakfasts with Schneider Weisse wheat beer until noon, Der Pschorr on Viktualienmarkt pours lager from wooden barrels and names its meat suppliers, and Bratwurstherzl grills small sausages over a beechwood fire in a vaulted room that is centuries old. Across the river, Wirtshaus in der Au has been serving beer and dumplings since 1901, and Spatenhaus an der Oper is a comfortable choice before a performance at the opera.

Munich is also one of Germany's leading cities for fine dining. Tantris, which opened in 1971 and changed how Germany ate out, now has a gourmet restaurant and a French-focused à la carte room, while JAN by Jan Hartwig is one of the country's three-star restaurants. Both need booking well ahead and have limited opening days. Between these extremes, Brenner offers grilled dishes and fresh pasta in a columned hall beside the opera, Prinz Myshkin has served vegetarian and vegan food since 1984, and the family-run Schelling-Salon is a cheap and characterful stop in the university district. Book ahead for weekend evenings, expect generous portions in traditional places, and note that many restaurants close one or two days a week.
