Munich Food & drink
 In the traditional Munich hostelries you can sample Bavarian specialities such as crispy grilled knuckle of pork with sauerkraut, weisswurst, a white veal sausage, eaten with sweet mustard and pretzels, or leberkäse, a meat dish made with pork and beef. Beer is the favourite tipple and tastes particularly good when drunk outdoors in a beer garden. The people of Munich are also passionate about their many pavement cafés.
"Die Schwemme" restaurant in the Augustiner Bräuhaus
The only establishment of its kind in the city. When you've had enough of fine sauces and tender chicken breasts, try some hearty roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut. Here, everyone sits together at long wooden tables, eating, drinking beer and discussing everything and anything. The noise can be almost deafening. This is also the home of the Augustiner brewery horses.
Königshof
The classic venue for festive occasions in Munich. Fine dining in a baroque atmosphere with a great view of the Stachus (officially called Karlsplatz). You can also expect to enjoy first-rate service.
Revolving restaurant in the Olympic tower
The 182-metre-high restaurant takes 49 minutes to rotate on its axis. On a clear day, you'll be hard pushed to find a more romantic place to watch the sun go down. With fine cuisine to boot, this is an excellent spot to while away the hours.
