Dear travelers,
Traditional Bavarian Delicacies
No trip to Munich is complete without trying the traditional Bavarian cuisine. Here are some classics you simply must try:
Weisswurst and Pretzels with Obazda
Kick off your morning the Bavarian way! Picture this: two warm, tender white sausages (called Weisswurst) served up before noon—just like the locals do. Dip them in a bit of sweet mustard for the perfect bite. Next to that, you’ve got a soft, golden pretzel slathered with Obazda, a rich and creamy cheese spread with a little kick, made from Camembert. It’s cozy, tasty, and full of tradition—basically, breakfast goals.
Roast Pork Sandwich (Schweinebraten-Semmel)
As I walked through the busy streets of Munich, I found a small food stand selling a roast pork sandwich. It had tender, juicy pork with crispy skin, all stuffed into a warm, crusty roll. Every bite was full of flavor. It’s an easy, tasty meal that’s perfect for eating on the go while seeing the city.
Iconic Beer Hall Experience
Even if you’re not a beer person, you have to visit Hofbräuhaus at least once. It’s the most famous beer hall in Munich — and when I say famous, I mean it’s been around since the 1500s.
The place is loud, packed, and kind of magical. There’s live music, giant pretzels bigger than your head, and tables full of locals in traditional clothes. One fun thing: some regulars have their own personalized beer mugs locked away in little cabinets. That’s how serious it gets.
Tip: Go with friends, order the local dishes, and just enjoy.
International cuisine
Giorgia Trattoria (aka Pasta Heaven)
Now, this one might just be my favorite meal of the trip. I wasn’t expecting to find amazing Italian food in Munich, but Giorgia Trattoria completely blew me away. The place has a super stylish interior — think pink chairs, funky lights, and a vibe that says “yes, we’re cool and we know it.”
I ordered the truffle pasta, and honestly, it was perfect. Creamy, earthy, and just enough to make me consider moving to Italy on the spot. Prices are mid-range, but so worth it. Make a reservation though — this place gets busy.
Tapas Night at Bodega Dali Bistro
Next stop: Spain! Well… kind of. Bodega Dali Bistro made me feel like I’d been transported straight to a cozy little tapas bar in Barcelona. The vibe is warm, the wine is great (I had a Spanish white that I still think about), and the food is full of flavor. Their chorizo was spicy, juicy, and the best I’ve had outside of Spain.
Everything was affordable, and the staff were super friendly. 10/10 would go back.
Man Versus Machine Coffee Roasters
Now this is the real deal. They roast their own beans (yes please), and the coffee is strong and smooth. But the star of the show? Their pistachio matcha. I know it sounds weird, but it’s honestly amazing — earthy, slightly sweet, and totally different from anything I’ve tried. A must-try if you’re into fun drinks.
Cinnamood
Oh! I can’t believe I almost forgot to mention Cinnamood — a total gem if you have even one sweet tooth. This spot is basically heaven for cinnamon roll lovers. We’re talking soft rolls with all kinds of creative fillings — from classic cinnamon sugar to pistachio, chocolate, and even fruity options. Each one is a little work of edible art. I’ll be honest, they’re not cheap, but you’ll taste the quality in every single bite. It’s the kind of place where you pick your flavor, take a bite, and immediately go, “Yup, worth it.” Perfect for an afternoon treat or to take back to your hotel for a cozy dessert moment. Highly recommend stopping by if you need something sweet after all the exploring!
A Few Quick Tips for Fellow Foodies
Here’s what I wish I’d known before I started eating my way through Munich:
Book ahead for popular restaurants like Giorgia Trattoria. They fill up fast!
Go early to places like Hofbräuhaus if you want a table without waiting.
Street food is seriously underrated. That pork sandwich? Still dreaming about it.
Markets are your friend — local ingredients, snacks, and more you can munch on between meals.
Munich isn’t just about beer and bratwurst — though those are very worth trying. It’s a city full of delicious surprises, cozy cafés, stylish restaurants, and dishes that tell a story.
If you’re a foodie (or just love trying new things), this city will totally win you over. I hope this little letter from me to you inspires your next adventure — or at least gets your stomach rumbling. So… when are you booking your flight?
