Schmalznudel - Cafe Frischhut

The 30 Best Restaurants in Munich, Germany | Eater

"This old-school cafe in the center of town can seem very touristy at times, but it’s also a lovable, enduring part of Munich’s furniture. It has churned out deep-fried pastries since 1973, when late hours made it a hangout for partygoers after a night out. Sitting side by side with people grabbing breakfast before an early shift at work, they would sip average coffee and sober up on schmalznudel, Bavaria’s version of a doughnut. Today, service starts later and the clientele has changed, but otherwise it feels much the same." - Kate Mann
