Culinary Art: The Best Restaurants in Munich

MUNICH’S FINEST FOOD RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Munich residents know good food. The Platzl Hotel is no exception. We’re happy to serve up our own brand of culinary art for our guests on a daily basis. Nestled between Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt and Maximilianstrasse the Platzl is more than just one of the best hotels in the city, it’s also home to some of the best restaurants in Munich too.

From local Munich cuisine and traditional Bavarian cooking to creative bar snacks and crafty cocktails, the Platzl culinary art comes in many shapes, sizes and flavours. With two restaurants, an indoor and outdoor bar, our eateries all subscribe to our signature philosophy: traditional Bavarian liveliness and the unmistakeable flavour of Munich. Don’t miss out on eating like a local!

GET TO KNOW THE PLATZL HOTEL’S RESTAURANTS

In Munich, locals and visitors alike demand a high standard of cuisine. The Platzl Hotel succeeds in surpassing those standards with our very own candidates for the best restaurant in Munich prize. Whatever your taste or appetite, our restaurants have just the thing for you…

If you prefer traditional Bavarian fare, the WIRTSHAUS AYINGER AM PLATZL is a great option. Here the staff wear traditional Bavarian clothing and serve up the finest regional delicacies. Try our ever-popular ox tatar, veal escalope “Munich style” or a snack board, and don’t miss out on the beer from the family-owned Ayinger brewery.

For fine dining in Munich, RESTAURANT PFISTERMÜHLE is tough to beat. Offering a modern twist on old recipes, our upscale restaurant pays homage to tradition but remains fresh, creative and forward-thinking. Beautifully crafted dishes here almost look too good to eat, but we recommend you don’t miss out on tasting the food – it’s a culinary experience you won’t soon forget!

A MUNICH BAR CULTURE THAT’S FOREVER YOUNG

Recent renovations at PLATZL KARREE and the JOSEFA BAR at the Platzl Hotel have made both venues hot nightlife spots in the centre of Munich. Don’t miss them!

The PLATZL KARREE BODEN & BAR is ideal for an outdoor drink, whatever the season. Whether it’s a warm summer’s evening in Munich or a crisp evening in the magical run-up to Christmas, wind down with a drink in pleasant company. After a hard day at work – or merely pounding the streets sightseeing – the Platzl’s open-air bar is the ideal pitstop before dinner, the opera or celebrations with friends.

Similarly stylish, the JOSEFA BAR & KAFFEE is a great indoor alternative. With creative cocktails made to your taste, regular events and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s a great meeting point for both Munich residents and hotel guests.
