I’ve been living in Munich for about 6 years now and these are some of my favorite spots that I’ve found along the way and actually go to on a regular basis. I'd recommend them all to anyone visiting the city.

Some of my favorite restaurants in the city spanning all kitchens and price ranges
Some of the best tacos in Munich. Very authentic to what you’re used to in the states and super friendly staff
comal (@comalmunich) • Instagram photos and videos
More of a boutique taco place compared to comal. Definitely more expensive but really good food and cocktails. Rotating taco menu so nothing‘s guaranteed. I go here when I want to treat myself to tacos and don’t mind spending extra cash.
El Tato – Gastrobar München
All vegan food, recommend the lasagna and they also have really good cakes – trick is to either go on a weekday or early on the weekend for the best selection.
Home - SIGGIS v/gan values and food
A chain in the city but super good vietnamese food. I love everything from their pho and cold noodle bowls to their bao burger. Really fairly priced and really good homemade lemonades
Chi Thu
In my opinion the best tapas place in munich. It's a bit trendy and mainstream but Iike it and the vibe of the restaurant's interior
CORDO BAR - München
Not a big kebap fan but my boyfriend is and he considers this one of the only places to get good kebap or döner in the city. I really only recommend the location at marienplatz or karlsplatz.
ALIS SUPERFOOD, München - Restaurant Bewertungen & Fotos
As said for the other kebap place, I'm not a huge fan but my bf is. This is his absolute fav place and you can tell it's good cause there's often a line out the door but it goes fast.
BLN DÖNER, München - Restaurant Bewertungen & Fotos
One of my all-time favorite restaurants in Munich. Family owned italian restaurant with to die for pasta. Friendly staff, good wine, and very authentic.
Il Piccolo Principe | Munich
Such good dumplings and very good variety of them. You can get a variety plate with one of each type which I always do. More than fairly priced and just so yummy.
LeDu Happy Dumpling, noodles
My personal favorite burger place in the city. Yes, it's a chain so there's multiple locations but it's really good. I recommend the truffle fries – so yummy.
Ruff's Burger & Bar Glockenbach
Has really solid modernized bavarian food. The atmosphere is also really nice and romantic.
Spezlwirtschaft
My #1 spot for schnitzel. The portions are HUGE. So come here hungry or ready to share. There might be some that disagree but it's seriously the best I've ever had. I recommend getting the schnitzel with the fried potatoes – they're more like crispy ...
Steinheil 16 - München
Best Coffee
Super well-known around the city. Trendy-boutique cafe and coffee roaster. Not the cheapest coffee in the city but guaranteed to be super good every single time. They also have nice seasonal drinks if you’re more into that. Pastry selection is limite...
Man Versus Machine Coffee Roasters
Super cute and rustic cafe. Really good coffee and vibes.
Kaffee Espresso Kolonial München
Not only good for coffee but they have evening events that are super fun. It's a popular spot for students so grabbing a spot to sit inside might be tricky during the day. Everything is vegan and fairly priced. Really cool industrial vibes
Lost Weekend: Home Page
Great coffee, the owner is super nice and personable. Very tourist/foreigner friendly and no issues speaking in english here. They have some desserts and food but really the coffee is the star here.
PEET AND THE FLAT WHITE (@peetandtheflatwhite)
Best Cake
Seriously some of the best cake in the city. Go early though to get the best selection since once it’s sold out it’s gone for the day. Especially good if you’re into German-style cheesecakes since they usually make more of those
Das Vollaths
Amazing American-style cakes. Truly the only place that does it like that in the city. Cookies are also really yummy. Atmosphere is cute and staff are kind
Life is Sweet Munich | American Cafe and Bakery | Pestalozzistraße 17 ...
Very mainstream chain that's all around the city but they truly have some of the best cakes and selection consistently.
Rischart Café am Marienplatz
Amazing cakes and sweets selection. Their cinnamon rolls are also to die for but if you're going on the weekend go early before they sell out. The coffee is meh and food used to be good but they redid their menu so I would really only go for their ca...
