One of my favorite parts of traveling is always the food and I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous about German cuisine (I mean, I’m from Chicago, let’s be real 😅). But I was so pleasantly surprised… everything was absolutely delicious. Consider me...
El Greco was so good I went with my boyfriend and his parents huge portions (the pork chops were everything), and the ouzo started flowing the moment we sat down and literally didn’t stop! Come hungry and ready to be well-fed and well-toasted
Restaurant El Greco
We showed up to El Gaucho just before the kitchen closed (oops), but they still welcomed us with zero hesitation. The food was incredible especially the prawns. So flavorful, I’d go back just for those.
El Gaucho
Not everything on the trip was sit-down dining I was on a mission to find the best fast food burger in Munich, and I found it. Not ironically, it was at Burger House and it was so delicious. Juicy patties, great toppings, and the perfect comfort meal...
Burger House Pinakotheken
You can’t go to Germany without trying some traditional German food and Alter Wirt Ramersdorf did not disappoint. Super authentic vibe, cozy setting, and such good food. I had my first-ever schnitzel (surprisingly delicious) and even took a brave sip...

We had our goodbye dinner at Taverna Paros and it was the perfect send-off. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the seafood platter was really good, and the ouzo? Once again flowing all night 😂
Taverna Paros
We went to Tira Tardi in Munich for a wedding dinner and everything was incredible. The Vitello Tonnato was so flavorful, the veal in truffle crust was perfectly cooked, and the tiramisu? Unreal. Easily one of the best meals I had in Germany.

Germans are known for two things: sausages and beer. Now, you won’t catch me guzzling a beer but give me a good spritz and a cute vibe? I’m in. From cozy bars to buzzing beer gardens, these were a few of my favorite spots we visited.
We went to H’ugo’s on a Thursday and even with a smaller crowd, the energy was on point. The DJ had the perfect playlist I was on my feet the whole night. If you want a spot where you can actually dance and hear music you love, this is it.
H'ugo's Pizza-Bar-Lounge
Stopped by Jahreszeiten Bar for a bougie little moment and it did not disappoint. I had a tiramisu martini (SO good) and my boyfriend had a glass of wine. Come for the aesthetics, stay for the cocktails.
Jahreszeiten Bar Munich
This was the perfect after-dinner cocktail spot. One of my favorite things about Munich is how many restaurants have patios and Kerala’s is huge, making it the ideal place to sip, chill, and people-watch. Great drinks, great energy, and the perfect e...
Kerala Restaurant
Oh Pacific Times… you officially have my heart. Hands down one of my favorite bars in Munich. The bartenders were so kind, the drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. Just the perfect spot to unwind, grab a nightcap, and actually relax.
PACIFIC TIMES
When in Germany, do as the Germans do and that means hitting a beer garden. Okay, so I didn’t exactly do what the Germans do (no beer for me), but my Hugo spritz was incredible. The whole experience was so fun especially when the crowd broke into the...
Sommerquartier
Another bougie moment for your girl because what’s a vacation without a little luxury? We stopped by Munich Sushi Club for drinks and it was so worth it. The cocktails were amazing, and the rooftop views? Absolutely stunning. It’s the kind of spot th...
Munich Sushi Club
Such a fun little find literally! Münchens kleinste Gaststätte lives up to the name as Munich’s tiniest pub, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm. A quick stop, a good drink, and a great story to tell.

There’s so much to explore in Munich I barely scratched the surface, but we definitely covered some ground. These are a few of my favorite spots I’ve discovered so far.
Viktualienmarkt was such a fun stop like Munich’s own little world of flavors and finds. It was so cool walking through all the different vendors, from fresh produce to flowers to local specialties. A great place to explore, snack, and soak up the lo...
Viktualienmarkt - der Markt von München
Nymphenburg Palace had me fully living my Disney princess fantasy. The grounds were absolutely stunning perfect for strolling and pretending you’re royalty and the history behind it all made the experience even more surreal. A must-see in Munich!
Nymphenburg Palace
Olympiapark München is massive and so worth exploring. We originally went for the Harry Potter exhibition but ended up staying to wander the park. From the 1972 Olympics to concerts and major events, it’s packed with history. I even stumbled upon a D...
Olympiapark München
The largest thermal spa in the world? Say less. Visiting Therme Erding was hands down my favorite experience in Munich. It was a full-on whirlwind from sipping drinks in the spa to acting like 12-year-olds at the water park. Let’s talk about the nude...
