Dinner at Marktwirt

Published December 24, 2018 Categories: Munich

We ate out at a nice restaurant and bar not far from the hotel (about 30 meters) called Marktwirt - http://www.marktwirt.com/

Rugged up for the cold. Enjoying a nice beer at the bar. After a couple we decided to get a table for dinner.

We ordered 1/2 duck and a roast pork dish, both were very nice and served with saurcraut and potato dumpling.

Pam loved the potato dumpling with is almost rubbery in texture - here is a video on how they are made - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QQqW4aQMq0

Total cost of the meal was 56 Euro which included a few beers (about 4.50 each) and a nice red wine (7 euro). The two mains (duck 18.50, pork 15.50) and the sides of cabbage 2.50 (sauerkraut).

Nice evening

Hofbräuhaus am Platzl

Pam & I went to the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl - which is a famous beer hall in Munich. It was very busy with almost all tables + all space on the tables taken by people drinking beer and eating.

There was live music playing with a band which everyone seemed to love.

We only tried the Munchner Weisee beer since I have gone off the thinner types of beer and these have a lot of flavour and are cloudy.

All of the waiters are men and they are always on the move taking orders and delivering food.

Some people have their own 1 litre steins locked away for them..

We stayed for a few hours and really enjoyed it. A lot of reviews I read were rather negative but we found the place quite fun and the staff we dealt with were very good.

The beers we had were 4.7 Euro each for 500ml

Walking around the markets in Munich

Published December 22, 2018 Categories: Munich

Just outside out hotel is the Victual Market which has a lot of food stalls and seafood (not a smelly seafood place at all).

Almost everywhere is somewhere to get something to eat and it all looks tasty.

It was cold, raining and very windy

Lots of places selling cheese in the market

In the main market in Marienplatz there is lot of little places selling hot drinks. We stopped at one selling Orange Punch with Rum.

4 Euro for a 200ml warm drink - I had an apple rum and Pam has an orange one. You also pay 4 Euro for the drinking cup but get it back if you return it.

Rugged up enjoying my apple rum drink.

We had a few sausages while walking around.

After this we went back to the hotel and slept for a few more hours. The wind will very strong.
