Westend Schwanthalerhohe · Walking Guides
Westend Diaspora Gastro-Village
Munich's working west, Anatolian and Greek tables next to the original Augustiner-Bräustuben courtyard, a stone's throw from the Theresienwiese
Restaurant Athen
Buy a bottle of their cold-pressed Greek olive oil at the till, they import from a producer they trust, it's the real test of how seriously they take the kitchen. Order whatever the day's special is; the menu under-promises.
Westendstraße 223b, 80686 München
Augustiner-Bräustuben
The chapter's Munich-canonical beer hall. Hofbräuhaus is rejected; Augustiner am Dom is the touristy sibling. The Bräustuben is where you bring visiting Istanbul family for the lederhosen-free version of the experience, the brewery yard, the dray horses, the Edelstoff served the way the brewers themselves drink it.
Landsberger Straße 19, 80339 München
Augustiner Bürgerheim
The Westend pairing for Café Westend's breakfast, same neighbourhood logic, opposite end of the day. Walk the Theresienwiese, eat here, end at Wirtshaus am Bavariapark for the beer-garden hour.
Bergmannstraße 33, 80339 München
