Run by the Kuffler family directly opposite the Bavarian State Opera, Spatenhaus has been Munich's go-to room for serious Bavarian cooking before and after performances since the late nineteenth century. Ground floor is full Bavarian, Schweinshaxe, white sausage, Tafelspitz, the proper roast pork, under wood beams; upstairs is more international with fish and Austrian dishes. Sunday brunch through the cooler months is a Munich fixture. This is the local-correct answer when the question is 'where's the Bavarian room that isn't a tourist tavern'.

Editor's Tip

Ask for an upstairs window table looking over the Opera. Sunday brunch resumes October 11, 2026.
