Restaurants in Munich
As one of the few European cities with multiple Michelin-rated three star dining options, eateries in the city can be opulent and sophisticated. Connoisseurs from even the most pretentious of backgrounds can take advantage of the Schwabing district’s bohemian flair or indulge in first-class cuisine at any one of the city’s reputable international culinary hotspots.
Expats should certainly sample some of the hearty, rustic local specialties, like the wurst (sausages), meat dishes, Knodel (dumplings), and it would be sacrilege not to mention the world famous pretzel. There’s little better than this sort of Bavarian flavour washed down with a litre of lager in the comfortable summer sun at one of Munich’s many beer gardens.
