This happy combination of Munich tavern and international bistro is set on Hans-Sachs-Strasse, one of the city's most interesting streets. Juicy schweinsbraten and burgers satisfy any meat cravings, and there are Asian and Mediterranean dishes for vegetarians; the dining room features beautiful ceiling murals and in warmer weather, the sprawling terrace is the place to be.
Step into the Deep South at this hip barbecue and soul food joint, decked out like an old-school American diner, with an open kitchen turning out slowly smoked meats including baby back ribs and short ribs in house-made barbecue sauce. There are also fine renditions of such southern staples as shrimp with creamy cheese grits, plus a host of tasty sides like cornbread and mac 'n' cheese.
Madam Anna Ekke is a super nice location for all-day dining: cozy inside, there's also a seasonal terrace for warm summer nights. The menu includes variety of cakes and tapas, ideal for a quick snack in-between meals or even for a big shared meal in the evening. The bar, Frau Bartels, is just a couple of steps away for those who don't want to go home just yet.
A variety of affordable Middle Eastern sandwiches and plates, including falafel (considered one of the best versions in the city), shawarma, and hummus, are available to go.
Hearty, healthy brunch is served on weekends until 4 pm. This charming vintage-style café is also popular for after work drinks and the Italian Mucki's evening every Thursday.
