About
If you'd like to escape from the hordes in the center of Munich, a traditional favorite among the city residents is this old farmhouse restaurant at the beginning of the autobahn to Stuttgart. It lies in one of Munich's better suburbs, Obermenzing. Every night seems a festival here; the food is good and affordable, and patrons come here to relax, converse, and drink as much as to devour the food. When the weather turns warm in spring, a terrace covered in vines opens to diners and stays open until there's a bite to the autumn wind. With the tiled stoves giving off heat and ambience, it's a mellow and pleasurable choice even in December and January. You are served regional fare here -- and plenty of it. Some of the best and most typical dishes are inspired by both Bavarian and Viennese kitchens. Boiled beef, flavored with herbs, is the eternal favorite and a dish said to have been ordered nightly by Franz Josef, the Austrian emperor. You're also served large pork knuckles, roast suckling pig, and any number of other dishes, including liver. A fish soup, made with zander, is served daily. The chefs are experts at making strudels.
