Located slightly off the beaten path and away from the city center but totally worth the visit. We stayed near Marienplatz but it was a nice 15-20 minutes stroll through the quaint neighborhood streets of Germany. The staff was friendly, the food was awesome and huge portions. Even though they were quite busy and we did not have a reservation, they made us feel welcomed and arranged to seat us pretty quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and obviously knows we're tourists. So instead of talking to us with contempt, she was very patient, friendly and helpful with everything. Totally worth the visit and I'm sure you'll enjoy the food as well.

Get the dumpling trio. It's worth the 14 euros. It's really good and so is the leak clear soup broth with potato dumpling. Also had dessert. All in all I felt like I had a German food experience that was not a tourist trap. Good place in central Munich. Nice people and wait staff. Sat at a long table with other groups because that's how you eat and drink in Germany.

Me and my other half had a fabulous evening at Wirtshaus in der Au. The food was absolutely fabulous. Having lived in Germany myself for a few years I can testify to the authenticity of the food. We had the Bauernschmaus which is a fantastic option to share with someone as then you get to try lots of local delicacies.
We both had beers (obviously!) and for dessert we had cheesecake.
The waitress who served us was fantastic and she provided an English menu for my OH.
My only tiny criticism was how unbelievably hot it was inside - but given the numbers of people and the time of year this is not surprising- wear cool clothes!
Booking is essential...It was full when we went.
A must try in Munich!

After going to to many wrong places in munich we were recommended to go here by a friendly taxi driver . It's fun. it's a neabourhood local . It's friendly .the food is good and the service excellent, relative to the buisiness of the place.i thought the huge potato dumplings were an acquired taste not my thing but . The duck was nice and the other diners pickings including the cold plates looked enticing. Regards to the young lawyer couple that sat next to.and talked about the cuisine and munich .a place not to be missed and a great place to experience the real munich

An easy walk from the Holiday Inn City Center to a local neighborhood eatery. Quiet neighborhood restaurant that caters to traditional German cuisine and of course beer. Menus are available in English for the German challenged so don't let that stop you.
