Hofbräukeller

So far it’s my favorite Biergarten in Munich! The food here is actually really good. The atmosphere is great! You feel like you’re tucked away in a small natural environment away from the city. The bees are a bit annoying though 😅 🐝

Two visits in one week, two different experiences of service. Two French guests happened to be visiting and I live nearby, so I decided to try this Hofbräuhaus in Au-Haidhausen at Wienerplatz. First of all, don't expect ultra-friendly, overly smiley service here - that's part of the Bavarian bräuhaus charm. My first visit was more pleasant (Service 5*), perhaps because we had booked a table in advance, or it's just the waiter 😉. I've been to the famous Hofbräuhaus in the old town, but I prefer this one (Hofbräukeller) for its less touristy, cozier vibe and menu. Yes, their menus are different. The interior and atmosphere are equally impressive, and the food is fantastic. On both occasions we ordered the mixed platter, which has a 'bit' of everything (HOFBRÄUKELLER BRATENPFANDL/ HOFBRÄUKELLER ROASTING PAN). Be warned: the portions are huge! The first night, two of us (ladies) made the "mistake" of ordering a platter each and struggled to finish. The second time, on a cold day, I shared a plate with my lunch companion (a guy), along with two pretzels - and it was perfect. The Hofbräukeller has a charming beer garden (right on the banks of the Isar.) The atmosphere, with lanterns and greenery, is almost magical, like being in the countryside, definitely worth a visit in summer! All in all, it's a great place for an authentic Bavarian experience!

Fantastic service and food. Arrived without a reservation and seated almost immediately even though they were packed. Our waitress was very good and patient. The beer was AMAZING! We had soup, shared the roaster pan (roast, duck, and pig knuckle), and had fritters for dessert. Added a side of sauerkraut and spaetzle just for good measure. Prices were very reasonable.

We ordered all of this. I actually don’t know the names because I went with a german friend who recommended and ordered. Everything was wonderful. The pretzel and the sweet potato fries were my favorite. The place is giant! I think it’s a very known restaurant in München (for the locals). Prices were good given the deli food.

Check the bill. Always check the bill. They put wine, when we never had wine. The Biergarten in summer is really good. But the restaurant inside, in winter was really a bad experience. Burger had no sauce inside, except a ton of mustard on a small side, full of onion, but the beef patty was delicious. The fries were ok, came with a side sauce that was diluted and I didn't like. Hot chocolate was warm, not hot, unmixed, so there wete chunks of cocoa. The waiter couldn't wait to leave sooner. Took the pepper and salt as we were eating, took all the cutlery as soon as we took what we needed (including with all the napkins, because why not have just one per person?)... The burger was very expensive, and I would never have posted this review if they didn't add extra stuff to the check.

I always feel a bit conflicted with big beer gardens. The food in this one specifically is really good; the service, however, needs lots of improvement. Definitely make a reservation to ensure you get a table because it can get really crowded.

Great place to experience a great beer garden in good weather. Easily accesible and not as busy as the main building in town. Great atmosphere and good traditional bavarian food.

Fantastic service and taste One of the best bräu in Germany Had pork schnitzel and it was AMAZING 💛
