The 10 best restaurants for trade fair visitors in Munich
While at lunchtime one would only be able to allow oneself a quick bite to eat due to time constraints, in the evenings there is nothing better than going out to find something good and wholesome to eat. The Bavarian metropolis has over 4000 restaurants, so many that one can lose track. During our selection process, it was important that the restaurants were located not far from the fair and, of course, high up on the popularity scale. The locals have an almost baroque penchant for indulgence and these ten restaurants are more than adequate for them — all tastes are catered for. The typical Bavarian taverns are also definitely worth a visit. Since they are an integral part of Bavarian gastronomy culture, you will find more than one here. Simply choose your favourite from our suggestions. An Guadn! (That’s Bavarian for “enjoy your meal”!)
The 10 best restaurants near Messe München fairground
Traditional Bavarian food in the Gasthaus DER BIERMANN
Starting us off is the Gasthaus DER BIERMANN in Munich-Riem, practically just around the corner from the exhibition halls of Messe München. Here, tradition and modern gastronomy come together. Because the Bavarians are both home-bound and worldly, international dishes always find their way onto the menu. An absolute hit, however, are the schnitzel baked in butter and the Cordon Bleu Prinzregent. Add to that one of their Kellerbiers brewed in-house and the stress will seem far away.

Feast like Bavarians in s’ Truderinger Wirtshaus
If you want to keep to traditional customs, but above all to the eating habits, then the Truderinger Wirtshaus tavern is just the place. It is very close to the new Messe München and offers hearty Bavarian delicacies as well as Mediterranean and international cuisine. There’s something for all tastes. The selection of drinks is no less exciting, with six different beer specialities, a well-rounded assortment of wines, and refined cocktail creations.
On the very back of the menu you can find the Truderinger Wirtshaus Bayerischtest where you can test your Bavarian vocabulary. The number of errors decides whether one is Originalbayer, Zuagroasda or Erzpreiß. If you make more than 12 mistakes, you will be offered two Unertl-beer schnapps as consolation and should have another go. The losers, then, will certainly not be that sad – oans, zwoa, g’suffa! (“one, two, drink!”)
It’s best to make yourself a picture of that special atmosphere – whether you come for the traditional Weißwurst (white sausage) breakfast, to have a nice dinner or to spend the late evening with a fine drink.

Tradition in the Franziskaner tavern and beer garden
If you want to eat Bavarian food in Munich, it’s best to go to a Wirtshaus (tavern), such as the Franziskaner Garten in the district of Trudering. Because the Franziskaner Garten is close to the trade fair centre, it’s a great option for dinners with business partners. Here you can experience the typical Bavarian cosiness and sociability up close.
Connoisseurs of Bavarian cuisine will enjoy the regional specialities available here. The menu ranges from hearty snacks through juicy roasts to rich desserts. Everything just tastes so good! The drinks menu is extensive, but the refreshing thing is of course the freshness of everything on the menu. Enjoy the original Franziskaner Weißbier and the Spaten Münchner Hell beer on tap.

Dine like the Greek gods in Thalassa
A crispy fresh salad with olives and feta cheese, a hearty gyros platter with rice and tzatziki or a juicy stuffed pepper fresh from the oven — Greek dishes are really delicious and are reminiscent of warm Mediterranean holidays. If your mouth is watering at that description alone, you should reserve a table at the Greek restaurant Thalassa.

Champor – Eat like in Malaysia
Food tastes the best when shared with someone else, and the Malaysian restaurant Champor is the best place to go for this. As the first Malaysian restaurant in Munich, it gained a lot of attention when it opened in 2004 and has since firmly established itself in the Munich gastro scene.
The name “Champor” translates to “mixed”, because Malaysian cuisine is a sort of fusion with many different influences, among them Indian, Chinese, Portuguese and British cuisine. The culinary diversity in the multi-ethnic country is (almost) limitless, so every guest will find something to their taste in Champor. The hotness ratings “spicy”, “hot”, and “very hot” help with selecting dishes.
The kitchen of this homey venue is of a very high standard. Champor is one of the best Asian restaurants in Munich and is so good that it is fully booked every night, so it’s best to reserve in advance.

The art of Indian cooking at Amber restaurant
