Wirtshaus in der Au, Munich

A comfortable and typically Bavarian beer garden, Wirtshaus in der Au is also one of the most famous restaurants in Munich. Although its furnishings are contemporary in style, it still retains all the charm of traditional Bavaria, serving the original Munich Schweinsbraten mit Kruste (roast pork and crackling). A popular feature here is their dumplings, which they claim are the largest in the city. The clientele is in fact a good cross section of Munich's population, as the venue is popular with local residents, business people, students and the hip and trendy.
