roasting the whole oxen in

Ochsenbraterei

Restaurant Name: Ochsenbraterei

This is my favorite place to eat on Oktoberfest.
Ochsenbraterei is one of the biggest traditional tents and it is famous for roasting a whole oxen .

Favorite Dish: Have a look on my picture, everything might be easily watched by the customers. They will need more than 1 ox every day, and you may even have a look for a sign with the name of the ox, that was roasted and cut into pieces today...

Augustiner beergarden in Munich

Restaurant Name: Augustiner

Augustiner is one of the most beautiful traditional inns in Munich. It is situated in the pedestrian area and has this wonderful " beergarden " in the back of the building.
I was there in october, and it was a bit too cold to sit outside, but in summer it will be hard to get any of these tables.

Favorite Dish: The local food with Knödel and a fresh beer

Hofbräuhaus

Restaurant Name: Hofbräuhaus

Hofbräuhaus might even be the most famous restaurant / inn in the world.
"Hof" is the german word for the Royal court, and "Hof-Bräu" was the beer drunk at the court by the king and his guests, so it certainly was the very best beer in the country.

Favorite Dish: There is a great restaurant on the 2nd floor , (in Europe we would call it 1st floor ;-) with great cuisine and of course the famous beer.
Simply take these few steps upstairs for a great dining experience.
If you just want to drink some beer, have a look for my next tip :

Hofbräuhaus-Schwemme

Restaurant Name: Hofbräuhaus - Schwemme

This is what you will see, when you will not walk up 1 stair in Hofbräuhaus, but simply walk in:
"Schwemme" is the official name for this place, where people get their beer and a more simply kind of food, than on the floors above.

Favorite Dish: In my opinion this place looks wonderful, when you are able to see these arcades shortly before they close, and when you are lucky and the porter will still let you in for a picture.
During the day they have some music there, loud and drunken people, it has a certain smell and dust...

Ratskeller in Munich

Restaurant Name: Ratskeller München

Ratskeller in Munich, just inside the cellars of the "Neues Rathaus" am Marienplatz, far underneath the "Glockenspiel" (chimes)
They have several larger and smaller siderooms, all of them furnished in a different, lovely way, with a really great athmosphere.

Favorite Dish: There was a time, when I once had a side-job there, many years ago. They have a different menu every day and offer plenty of great local and international specialities.
Reservation is normally not necessary, BUT it might be, if you are just 2 or 3 persons, you will be placed on a large table, where others are eating already.

Kaufhof - a great

self-service-restaurant

Restaurant Name: Kaufhof - Selfservice-restaurant

In Kaufhof on Karlsplatz / Stachus you may go by lift or escalators to the 6th floor, where you ahve a great self-service-restaurant with a great view on Karlsplatz,Frauenkirche and a lot more.

What makes me angry every time I am there is the fact, they charge quite a lot, when you want to powder your nose...

Favorite Dish: The food there is really great, and what is the best for the tourists - most dishes are shown with photos, so you see in advance, what to expect, even if your German is not so very good.
Potatoes, rice etc will be ready, but mostly the meat will be prepared freshly in front of your eyes.
They also have a great variety of cakes and icecreams in the afternoon and every day they have a cheap meal and a cheap "cake&coffe-offer"
