Nymphenburger Hof

Frommer's Review

Many Münchners consider an outing to this restaurant's verdant outdoor terrace, about 9.5km (6 miles) west of the Marienplatz and about 5km (3 miles) from Schloss Nymphenburg, the next best thing to a week in the country. Although the modern blue-and-white interior is attractive in any season, the place is especially appealing in summer when the terrace, separated from the busy avenue by a screen of trees, is open. Don't expect even a hint of tradition, because everything here is streamlined and modern. The only nostalgic thing about the place is the courtly but amused service and the cuisine, inspired by what used to be known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Examples include Wiener schnitzel, Tafelspitz (the favorite of Austrian Emperor Franz Josef), Kaiserschmarr (a sweet dessert made with apples), a variety of Czech pastries made with honey and plums, and the gooey, sticky dessert beloved across the border, Salzburger knockerl (a light and creamy dessert made from eggs, vanilla, sugar, and butter).
