Spatenhaus

Frommer's Review

The Spatenhaus, one of Munich's best-known beer restaurants, has wide windows overlooking the opera house on Max-Joseph-Platz. You can sit in an intimate, semiprivate dining nook or at a big table. Spatenhaus has traditional Bavarian food and generous portions at reasonable prices. If you're curious about the fabled Bavarian gluttony, order the Bavarian plate, which is loaded with various meats, including pork and sausages. (After that, you'll have to go to a spa.) Other fine choices include grilled filets of lemon sole with a creamy lobster sauce, roast pork with potato dumplings and red cabbage, and grilled salmon with ricotta-stuffed ravioli. Of course, to be loyal, you should order the restaurant's own beer, Spaten-Franziskaner-Bier. A dining annex on the second floor, open daily from 11:30am to 1am, specializes in international cuisine, including brook trout or roast salmon steak with noodles in a lobster sauce, as well as Angus beef with a red-wine sauce with fried potatoes. Main courses in the annex cost 18€ to 24€ ($29-$38).
