When it comes to good food, we are fans of hearty, traditional dishes. Dumplings are a dish that is particularly well-known in Bavaria and Austria. And we set out on a mission to find the best dumplings in Munich. In our quest, we have discovered three places that we can definitely recommend: the Wirtshaus Obacht, the Wirtshaus in der Au and the Görreshof.
1. Wirtshaus Obacht
Wirtshaus Obacht is a cosy, traditional pub in Munich’s old town that specializes in Bavarian cuisine. The highlight on the menu are the different types of dumplings. The bread dumplings with different variations, such as dumplings with lentils, are particularly popular. These dumplings are simply amazing. You can also order a cool beer and really enjoy the Bavarian moment.
2. Inn in the meadow
The Wirtshaus in der Au has a similar tradition to the Obacht. Dumpling fans get their money’s worth here. From classic liver dumplings in spicy broth to cheese dumplings doused with melted butter, the Wirtshaus in der Au offers a wide selection of dumplings. The portions are generous and we even took some for the next day.
3. Görreshof
Last but not least, we visited the Görreshof near the English Garden. This rustic inn not only serves some of the best dumplings, but also a selection of traditional Bavarian dishes. The dumplings with a creamy cream sauce are particularly recommended. The dumplings are so fluffy that they can almost be eaten on their own. For those who like sweets, the apricot dumplings are an absolute must.
If you come to Munich and want to go in search of the best dumplings, you should definitely try these three places. It’s hard to say which one is best – all three are great in their own way. So, get your friends and family together and indulge in these delicious dumplings in Munich. Believe us – it’s worth it!
