Schneider Bräuhaus Berg am Laim — Restaurant in Munich

We visited here Friday 16th October 2020, we'd nipped to Baumkirchner (Ayinger) first and arrived here just before 7pm. It's a little out of the city centre, to the east, in fact about 4-5kms out and would take the better part of an hour if you walked it. However there are plenty of public transport options with tram 31 from Marienplatz (Theaterstrasse) the quickest route at 24 minutes, we took the U4/5 as were hitting bars before and afterwards that were nearer that route into town.

It's a large building that also has a good sized biergarten at the rear. Inside its light, airy and appears to have taken a more modern look. Ttere are a number of rooms in this place. I didn't really get the opportunity to explore, as we were led from the entrance along a brightly lit corridor with Schneider Weisse beers and glasses in glass cabinets, we turned left went through a small room (mini bar area perhaps) and led into the back room which faced the Biergarten. We were given a large oval table, the place was about 60-70% full with a nice mix of young and old, male and female.

Beers were excellent, we had the Hopfenweizen, Festweise and the alcohol free Hefe-Weisse. I also had a Eisbock, which was also fab'. The food was really nice, excellent in fact. I had a roast loin of pork with vegetables, wild mushroom sauce etc, and the others both had a Cordon bleu schnitzel, we all enjoyed the food, we shared a Kaiserschmarrn (is that spelt correctly?) for dessert. The staff were really nice we chatted to the female waitress who was Croatian, her English was excellent. I would definitely come here again, I am a big fan of Schneider Weisse and it's nice that they have a couple of great options in the city. My only negative was the room where we sat seemed a little odd, modern where a more traditional appearance might have been better, but it was comfy and you had...

Bavarian Cuisine in East Munich A particular restaurant (near our Hotel) welcomed us for dinner. Great location (there's their beer hall in the back... Simple mise en place in my opinion, a bit poor for the amount paid. The staff spoke nothing but German... a few words only in English. At the end of the dinner they asked us for a 20% tip which made the bill rise to €180. Wasn't it enough to ask directly and include it in the bill? We wanted to try a typical appetizer (cold cuts, cheeses, sauces, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, salted butter etc. in addition to the dishes they recommended: the Wiener Shnitzel (veal cutlet Milanese style) with roast potatoes, cranberries and lemon, as well as the fresh roast pork in the oven, with cabbage salad, Shneider-Weisse Jus. For dessert, apple fritters with cinnamon sugar, fresh berries, homemade vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. To finish, coffee and a local liqueur: the Marille-Shnaps (made with apricots... dry and very fragrant! Definitely worth a try). In any case, it was worth it dinner here. If I were to return I would like to try...

I'm not sure I'd go back since there are better Bavarian restaurants in the area but we still enjoyed our meal. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is cozy (the Pop music detracted from that a bit). The service was quick and attentive, but the place wasn't crowded. Seems like a decent place to go to for a group since there are a lot of separated sections and rooms. The food wasn't bad but nothing fantastic. A bit pricy. Obasta to feed maybe two (with not-fresh pretzels) was €6. In my opinion, the food seemed to be a mix of homemade and food service grade. The baked camembert came as little breaded patties that seem like they came from a box, but the salads were fresh. The pumpkin soup was just bad. We passed it around the table so everyone to try to determine why is was so bad and we concluded that it was mostly potato soup with a pumpkin for color and possibly beef stock. The schnitzel was pretty standard. I will try the beer garden in the back...
