Christmas in Munich
 

Well be in Munich on Christmas day.
Any Nice places to eat and visit this day?

Lots of both. Be more specific on what you are interested in eating (German, Turkish, Indian, Chinese, etc.) and what you want to see.

We would be interested in eating something german. When in rome do like the romans do.
We would like to be at a Restaurant that has a true Christmas spirit.

I am not sure what this means.

Are you looking for something that is decorated all Christmas-like for the tourists? Or are you looking for a cozy Bavarian-style restaurant with a menu featuring duck, goose, deer, and other wild game and the place is decorated with dark wooden ceiling, German proverbs about food written on the wall, and various farm implements and wild game horns mounted on the wall?

I'll ask some colleagues but Wirtshaus zur Marienburg is a dark, cozy place with great traditional fare.

yes we would something like this. TRue German Christmas spirit..

"True German Christmas spirit" would be going to visit family on Dec 25.

Many restaurants will be open and virtually all of the Bavarian restaurants will have wild game on their menu. Tis the season for goose.

He he if i had family there we would visit. All my family is with me when we travel this White christmas..

Thanks sparkchaser for your help.

Whichever restaurant you chose, book a table in advance. Most restaurants have fixed menus on Christmas Day and require reservation.

Sorry to burst your bubble about the "white" Christmas. Munich cannot guarantee you a white Christmas. Probability of snow on Christmas is hardly more than 10%, and that is optimistic. The same applies to most of Germany. You have to go up into the mountains for a fair chance, but still no perfect guarantee, of snow.

Aye. I would not hold my breath for a White Christmas.

yes thanks i know that we are going to lucerne after this and will then visit some mountains.
thanks for the help

"decorated <B>for tourists</B>??????? What does THAT mean, exactly? I'll be in Munich this coming Saturday and I expect decorations for the locals at least.

Settle down, Francis. All I am saying is that in the past five Christmases, I have yet to go to a Bavarian/Franconian restaurant that was overly decorated for Christmas. That one Chinese restaurant I went o on the other hand... ;)
