Mouthwatering GERMAN FOOD Tour in MUNICH! 🍺🥨 | What to Eat & Drink in Munich during Oktoberfest 🇩

Hello and greetings from Munich. Today we're going to be taking you on a mouth-watering German food tour across the Bavarian capital. If you've been watching this channel for a while, you may already know that Sam and I love experiencing a new destination through its food and Munich was no different. The skin is nice and crispy. Probably my favorite thing about it. Over the course of our visit, we set out to try as many German dishes as possible. In this video, we'll be trying German roast pork knuckle with potato dumplings, this is a really nice hearty meal, Oktoberfest chicken coated in pretzel crumbs, goulash with bread dumplings, a snacking board featuring all sorts of cheeses and sausages, and for a little something sweet, we'll get a taste of the Emperor's Mess pancakes. It kind of reminds me of something between a pancake and a flan. And of course, because this is Munich, it wouldn't be a proper food tour without a beer or three. So grab a snack and join us as we eat our way across Munich. It's going to be a tasty one. Our first stop was Agustiner Klosterwirt. This restaurant is located directly across the entrance to Frauenkirche, the main cathedral, so it's a super central location and impossible to miss. And because we were there during Oktoberfest, it was especially festive. Prost! It is Oktoberfest friends and it is as lively as it can be in Munich right now. So hard to even find a place to eat. We feel thrilled that we finally have a seat. This is about our fourth attempt to have lunch. So this is the Oktoberfest beer. Sure is. Cheers! I don't even know what kind of beer I'm having. The guy was just like, we have an Oktoberfest special. Do you want some beer? So we're like, yeah, sure, bring it. Bring it. And it is good. For lunch, we ordered the Käsespätzle, noodles with the cheese and some kind of special Oktoberfest chicken. So we wait. We wait. Okay, so I'm trying the Käsespätzle which technically Sam ordered but I love this dish. Super cheesy noodles. Oh, the chicken is here. Wow. Good. Homemade noodles with a super cheesy creamy sauce and fried crispy onions on top. This is a classic here down in Bavaria. Must try if you're coming to Munich, right? Must try. German dish. It reminds me a little bit of a gnocchi. Like if I had to compare it to something. Came with a little salad. And Sam has a lovely looking chicken over there as well. Alright, the music has started up. The party is going. And I've got a party on my plate too. This is a typical Oktoberfest dish I've heard. So we've got basically a breaded chicken with pretzel on the outside. I mean I can feel how crispy that is just by piercing it with the fork. Yeah, pretzel crumbs. Yeah, pretzel crumbs. It looks like I got something like a tartar or mayo sauce and then over here potato salad with radish. So let's dig into this. Oh wow, look at how crispy that is. Woah. I'm going to try dunking it in the sauce a bit. That first bite. Mmmm. Oh. That is amazing. The contrast between the crunch and the tenderness. Amazing texture. Now I've got to try the salad. Oh. Mmmm. A nice accompaniment to the chicken. But this is a star for sure. No doubt. How was lunch? Ho ho ho. I'm putting on a bit of a belly here in Germany even though we're walking a lot every day. The food is just so good. So rich. It was fantastic. Both dishes were really good. The beer was so nice. That Oktoberfest beer. And just the lively atmosphere in the music. It just made for a special experience. I mean to be here in Munich in Oktoberfest it is pretty unique. It is pretty special to be honest. Anyways, let's talk about the price. So the beers. Half a liter each were 4.90 Euro. That is per beer. And then the Spätzle was 12.90 and the chicken potato dish 16.90 Euro. So altogether the damage including tax was 39.60. Pretty darn good. That is like the meal of the day. Like we do not need to eat after that. So yeah, highly recommend the place and if you can come during Oktoberfest you'll have an extra special festive experience. The next restaurant we visited was Agustineram Dom, also located right by the Cathedral. Of course, more beer had to be ordered since it was Oktoberfest. As for the food, this time we decided to go for a lighter meal or midday snack. Okay. Girls. I did it friends. I did it. I got a beer that is bigger than my face. Check that out. One whole liter of beer. One liter of beauty for Oktoberfest. This is just amazing. It is so heavy. Like I feel like I could do bicep curls with this. While my beer belly is expanding I could be getting a mighty bicep over here. But let's try it. Ah. It is cold. Delicious. I mean when you're here in Munich for Oktoberfest sure you can order your half liter beers but you've got to at least try one of these. Come on. It is what the locals are drinking. It is what the locals are drinking. When you walk outside you see them with these one liter beauties. So alright guys lunch is here and today we tried to go for a lighter meal if you can possibly do that here. Yeah, right. So anyways this first plate here is called the Stadtwurst and it is the city sausage here in Munich. We had the option of ordering it with a potato salad or cabbage. We've gone for the cabbage friends. Mmmmm. Very very good. Wow. The skin is nice and crispy. Probably my favorite thing about it. That is very tasty. And to go along with the sausage they ordered a platter to share. Yeah. This is a cheese and ham and sausage and onion and radish platter. It is kind of like a little snacking board. Let's see what we've got here. It looks like we have sausage, slices of other deli meats. It looks like there is some pate. Yeah. Here. Wow. Pickles, tomato. It has got it all. So. And two slices of bread. Two slices of bread. So I'm just going to try a little bit of what I see here. So let's start with this. Cheese. Oh yes please. To the cheese. To the spreadable cheese. Shall we put some ham on there as well. Yeah. Some onions. Shall we load it with onions as well. Load it up. Maybe some radish while we're at it. Yeah. We're getting fancy here guys. Bon Appetit. Guten Appetit. Guten Appetit. How might that be? Mmmmm. This is going to be very filling. Yeah? It is a lot of heavy food for a light lunch. We've got this to knock off. I've only done half so far so. You're going to be here a while. We will. We will. Now you are going to get adventurous with some of the sausage we have over here. Yeah. So I'm going to take my bread. Spreadable mountain cheese. So I'm loading that up nice and thick. Okay. And then what I'm going to do is go for. Try this one. That kind of looks like a jelly since you're. Sam is far more adventurous with the sausages. Look at that. Yeah, look at that. And how about some radish for good measure. Does that not look like a nice little sandwich? Let's try that. Mmmmm. You like it? Oh yeah. Okay. I just taste the quality throughout the whole spread. The bread fantastic. The cheese sauce. The radish gives it a refreshing bit of juiciness and believe it or not that slice of meat was pretty good too. We've got our work cut out for us to finish this but we're going to put in our best shot. Right? Alright Sam you're not falling asleep after that liter of beer are you? I feel like I could friends. I feel like I could. So let's break down the price here. Yeah. So your Apple Chorley half a liter for 10 Euros. Yeah I was in drinking beer. Surprise. I love how they call it the Oktoberfest beer. So the Oktoberfest beer was 9.80 for a liter. That is like a meal in and of itself. So then we had the Stratwurst, the local wurst. Stattwurst. Stattwurst. The local Stattwurst of the city of Munich was 8.50 Euro. And finally that beautiful assortment of cheese, meats, pickles, you name it and bread was 14.90 for the grand total of 37.30 Euros. So I think that was a pretty good deal. Like we are leaving all kinds of stuff. But um yeah great experience. We chose to dine in and what that meant is that we got a seat right away. Had we gone outside with the Oktoberfest crowd we might have been waiting for well a really long time. So it was good inside, would have been even more fun outside. Overall great experience, great food. And this is a very central location so if you find yourself visiting Munich it is really easy to hit this restaurant up. The next place we ate at was the beer garden at the Viktualienmarkt, right in the middle of the farmer's market. They had lots of traditional Bavarian dishes to choose from as well as some German classics. This is a great option for outdoor dining on a nice weather day. Hello from a beer garden. Hey, so we're not just at any beer garden. We are at the Viktualienmarkt beer garden. And this is sort of the central market area of Munich. We've kind of been wandering around for a bit. Oh, there is so many tempting stores. There is all of these delis. There is fresh fruit. Oh, there is these amazing wheels. Giant wheels of cheese. And there is also little cafes and little restaurants as well. I saw some people getting a bit boozy for breakfast. Having some fancy glasses of wine, maybe some champagne, maybe some Riesling as well. And uh yeah it is just a fun place to walk around. Oh, danke. Okay, our Apfelschorle. Yes. Just arrived. We are doing a beer tour tonight so we figured let's take it easy. Saving ourselves for that. Otherwise it is just a lot of beer for the day. But yeah normally in a beer garden we would be getting beer. This looks like beer though. It would be so easy to fool people. Cheers with fizzy apple juice. The Apfelschorle. There you go. Apfelschorle for the win. Prost. So we are starting with my dish because the wrong food came out for Sam. So we're still waiting for the pork knuckle. We really want to try like classic Bavarian dishes so when they came out with some french fries. And a schnitzel. And a schnitzel we're like did we get it? It sure looked tasty but not what we ordered. Not quite what we ordered. So this is the beef goulash and it comes with dumplings. Seemeln Knödel. The gravy looks good. Very nice. Ah, danke. Danke. Danke. The right food showed up very quickly. That is great. That means our plate was around there somewhere in the back. It makes me think that someone else is getting their schnitzel and is very happy right now. Yes, they probably are. And yum you can try the dumplings. I love those dumplings. It is like a bread dumpling. Like if you took bread and just like shaped it into a ball. Ideal for soaking up the sauce. It really is wonderful. Yeah. And yeah just a very rich hearty savory sauce. It is very good. Wow, so we've been wanting to try this pork knuckle for a while. And this is actually the Oktoberfest special that they're serving here at the beer garden. I have got two. Are these the dumplings or are they potatoes? Yeah. Oh, they are. Look at that. I think yours are potato. Mine were bread. Yeah, mine are potato dumplings. I've also got sauerkraut here on the side. A sauerkraut salad. And I also have the crispy pork knuckle. Like feel that. Yum. And that is half the pork knuckle I'll mention. The real one is even bigger but who can eat a whole pork knuckle. Yeah, that may put me in a food coma. Haha. If I was to have a full one. Look at that. Nice and golden. Crispy. It looks real good. Dare I attack the crispiest part. Attack the crispy pork knuckle. Oh, look at that. Oh, that is delicious. Super super crispy on the outside. Tender, juicy in the middle. Oh my goodness it goes along so well with the gravy. And now I'm going to try the dumplings. They are with some gravy. That tastes really good too. This is a really nice hearty meal. Another day in Munich. Another massive lunch. That is basically our meal of the day guys. We just have such big lunches we don't have a lot of room to eat much health food the rest of the day. Anyways, we got a bill and it wasn't like a descriptive one. It was just you came by with the math and it came to 35 Euros for all that. So that was for the two mains and the one shared drink. Pretty good value. I mean am I ever stuffed. Very hearty food. And the beer garden really got busy as we were about to leave. We had an early lunch. We arrived at about eleven thirty and we were leaving at about quarter after twelve and it was packed. So if you want to go for a nice festive fun outdoor dining experience go check out a beer garden whether in Munich or another German city that you're visiting. Another restaurant we visited in Munich was the Laurin Südtirol to try a very famous Austro-Bavarian dessert. However, beforehand we decided to show you what you can get as part of a set menu if you're looking for something a bit more international after several days or weeks of German food. Okay guys, lunchtime once again here in Munich. We've been having a lot of German food, a lot of German beer, so today we just found a restaurant that does international food. A little something different. And we wanted to show you it because they have a set menu for 11 Euros for lunch per person. Not bad. We got a salad as an entree. There was also an option of pumpkin cream soup. And then the main. For mine I got the beetroot risotto. Look at that color. Wow, that looks so good. Is it? Oh, crumpled cheese. We're going to be sharing. Oh my oh my. But the reason we came here it wasn't for the mains. They specialize in a dessert. We're actually here to show you the dessert. It takes 20 minutes to prepare so we've already placed the order. Isn't it like a dessert slash breakfast? Yeah, you can have it for breakfast. Okay. It is called the Caesar's Mess and it is this like scrambled pancake dish. And apparently they make a really good one here so that is actually why we chose this restaurant. Yeah. This is just a bonus right now. This is a bonus. Come on boy. Yeah, so to continue the international flair I got chili con carne. It looks great. I mean I'm seeing corn, ground beef, got the kidney beans, we also have the sour cream in there. So let's try to get a bit of everything. Oh, that is good. Oh, today we finally got fall weather. I don't know why I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Everyone has a jacket on today and long sleeved pants but this is going to keep me warm. It is a little chilly outside here and I've ordered the chili to prevent me from being chilly. How is that? Now this is what we came for. The dessert which apparently can also be eaten for breakfast or for lunch so it seems to be an all-day meal. Well, when you look at the size of it. Oh my I'm glad we're sharing. Look at this. So this is the Kaiser Schmarren. The Kaiser's mess. And it is like a very light fluffy pancake. It is dusted with icing sugar and it also came with this berry sauce and what looks to be an applesauce on the other end. I have to try both. Let's try this. Let's try the berry first. So I've had my first bite. It kind of reminds me of something between a pancake and a flan. Or like a pancake and a custard. Like it has got a bit of movement. A jiggly texture can we say. Jello jiggly texture. It is very nice. This is very filling. It is quite heavy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean we had a pretty decent sized lunch so we have our work cut out for us to finish this. And this is one dish that they recommend ordering it when you get your lunch. Like place your dessert order if you're having it for dessert because it does take a while to prepare and get it ready. Yeah. But very tasty. Very tasty. Can we eat this whole thing? That is the question. Well first before I even talk about the price point I have to admit we were defeated by the dessert. It was delicious but we just didn't have enough room to finish it. So something to keep in mind if you are going to order it it is priced like a main and it is very very filling. So maybe get it as your only thing or bring someone along to share and don't have two mains beforehand. But anyways the price point just came to over 40 Euros so we got two combo lunches. We got the Chorley, the Marcuya which is passion fruit and then finally we had that amazing Bavarian dessert. That one did us in. It was so good I was just thinking like if we just had to have one main we probably could have taken care of it but um definitely recommend it. Something to try if you're here in Munich. And um yeah it is not a light dessert after a meal. It is a main. Last but not least you may have already seen a separate video we filmed doing a Bavarian beer tour across Munich but I thought it was worth including a couple of those clips here. The good times they continue. So this is our third stop of the night but fifth beer. We're starting to lose track here. Um but we are at Weisses Bräuhaus and our group is already going in. It is going in. They're going in. It is lively so we better follow. At a table. This next place is Weisses Bräuhaus which is the oldest wheat beer brewery in all of Bavaria. Here we had the Brühaus cold platter featuring smoked meat, liver cheese, pickled vegetables, mountain cheese, Bavarian cheese, dark bread, a pretzel and lard for spreading. I ordered the Weiss beer which is a wheat beer with a bit of a fruity banana flavour. The final stop that night was the Hofbräuhaus which is the most famous beer hall in all of Munich. Hofbräuhaus started out as the royal brewery in the Kingdom of Bavaria and it quickly became known for its Weiss beer. You definitely come here for the lively atmosphere where you are bound to meet some merry revelers. I must say here it is like going to a sporting event. A birthday party and a beer garden. Of course all rolled into one. There is chants, there is yelling, there is sometimes some breaking of glass. It is just so merry and festive in here. It just has that roar of a stadium. Like you're going to a live soccer, a football, a baseball game. You hear the roar of the crowd to be honest. Sometimes they'll be like pounding on the table doing a song. The atmosphere is so electric you have to come here to experience it. Even the way I've explained it doesn't do it justice. You have to be here to really understand what it is like to be in a festive German beer hall. And that concludes our German food tour in Munich. We had a great time eating our way across the city and sampling so many new to us dishes. Of course, there was only so much we could eat over the course of a few days, so let us know what dishes we missed that fellow travelers must try during their visit.
