Food & drink in the English Garden

Eating and drinking in the English Garden

The English Garden is not only home to beer gardens and kiosks. It also has high-quality restaurants and a wide variety of kiosks to cater for both large and small appetites.

The four large beer gardens:

Chinese Tower
The beer garden at the Chinaturm is the most famous beer garden in the English Garden. It is popular with Munich residents as well as newcomers and tourists. The beer benches are arranged around the beautiful Chinese pagoda, where the brass band plays on many days in summer. It is located in the southern part of the English Garden.

Seehaus
The Seehaus beer garden is located south of the middle ring road. The tables and benches extend right up to the shore of Kleinhesseloher See. In the evening you can experience a beautiful sunset here. The beer garden is particularly popular with the people of Schwabing. There’s always a little bit of chic and chic here too.

Hirschau
The Hirschau beer garden is located north of the middle ring road, somewhat hidden and set back next to the tennis court. It offers a great atmosphere under the chestnut trees and is very popular with Munich residents precisely because it is a little quieter and more tranquil. The large, beautiful playground is popular with children. A jazz band often plays on Sundays.

Aumeister
The Aumeister is located in the northernmost part of the English Garden. It is a beautiful beer garden, idyllically and quietly situated in the shade of old chestnut trees. If you want to take a long walk, it’s a great place to stop for a bite to eat.

The restaurants:

The restaurants in the English Garden all offer a wonderful atmosphere in a green natural setting, with a perfect backdrop for weddings and family celebrations. You might as well be on a little excursion in the countryside.

The Seehaus

In a particularly beautiful location directly on Kleinhesseloher See, this is a great place to sit and dine. The upscale cuisine offers restaurant guests modern classics and Mediterranean fish cuisine – seasonal, regional and homemade. The banquet room and the airy pavilion are perfect for events and weddings.

The restaurant at the Chinaturm

Elegant and beautifully decorated, the upscale Chinaturm restaurant offers excellent cuisine for every occasion in a sophisticated setting. In summer, the terrace is also covered, with a view of the Chinese tower and beer garden.

The Hirschau Restaurant

The time-honored building from 1840 in Hirschau was renovated in 2013 with great attention to detail. Today it has a very stylish dining room and ballroom with seating for up to 200 guests. In culinary terms, a piece of Munich’s food tradition is combined with modern culinary art.

The Aumeister Restaurant

The entrance to the restaurant is right next to the beer garden. The slightly recessed summer terrace, right next to the restaurant, is a particularly quiet and beautiful place to sit. The cuisine offers Bavarian-Mediterranean delicacies with seasonal specialties. A large parking lot is available.

The Osterwald garden

This good Bavarian restaurant is located directly at the entrance to the English Garden at Keferstraße 12. It has a rustic dining room made of dark wood and a beautiful little front garden. Classic Bavarian dishes are served in a dignified atmosphere and a quiet beer garden. The duck is highly recommended.

Restaurant St. Emmerams Mühle (currently closed)

You will find the St. Emmeramsmühle with its rustic dining room in the northern part of the English Garden in Oberföhring. When you leave the English Garden over the bridge to Sperrvogelstraße, you will come directly to it.

Munich Tour Food and Drink

The kiosks with offers for the small appetite:

Milchhäusl
The organic snack bar “Milchhäusl” has 100% Bavarian organic food on the menu. Sitting in one of the decommissioned gondolas of an old ski lift is particularly fun. The playground right next door makes the Milchhäusl the ideal meeting place for families. It is located at the entrance to Veterinärstraße.

Fräulein Grüneis
The Fräulein Grüneis kiosk already has a bit of cult status: renovated and converted in 2011, the former Klohäusl is a popular meeting place for relaxed citizens who like to sit on a beer crate and don’t attach too much importance to fussing about. Small and cozy, with a nice forecourt and individual seating, you can get snacks, cakes, drinks and small dishes here – all cooked with love.

Kiosk at the lake (Kiosk am Seeeinlauf)
Drinks, ice cream, sweets and small snacks are available from the kiosk at the entrance to Kleinhesseloher See – perfect for quenching your thirst, especially for all the athletes on site.

Mini Hofbräuhaus
The mini Hofbräuhaus in the northern half of the Englischer Garten is a popular place to visit.
Contact point for dog owners. Here you will find everything you need to satisfy a small appetite, as well as schnitzel and other hot dishes. However, you shouldn’t be bothered by dogs, as they generally run free here.

Kiosk Fräulein Müller
If you want to grab a snack before your walk, Fräulein Müller on Gunzenrainerstraße is the place to go. Next to the nicely laid out tables at the kiosk is the smallest beach in the world with just four sun loungers. The English Garden is only 50 meters away.

Tivoli Pavilion
The Tivoli Pavilion, diagonally opposite the Hirschau parking lot, provides drinks, ice cream, sweets and small snacks. Seating is also available.

Cafe & Bar:
The Golden Bar
The Golden Bar in the English Garden is located directly at the back of the Haus der Kunst. It’s a really cool bar, steeped in history, which revives the flair of old lounges and combines it with new facets of design. The frescoes of the Goldene Bar München were painted over after the war and uncovered again at the beginning of 2000. They are preserved in their original form.

Tip: Feilitzschstrasse and Wedekindplatz
Feilitzschstraße & Wedekindplatz – popular meeting place for young and old with interesting nightlife. Many restaurants and pubs.
