Airbrau has 4 locations throughout Munich airport and thank goodness... this must be one of the best meals I've had in an airport in a long long time. When I arrived to Munich, I was in search of real food as my food offering on the airline was barely edible. I only had 45 minutes after clearing security and I was left wondering where to go on level 5 of the Terminal 2 international departure area. For starters, the airport is amazing, clean, efficient, and pleasant. Airbrau is no different. With super quick efficient and pleasant service, I had a wonderfully cooked meal within minutes and in time for me to feel satisfied as I transferred from one gate to the next.
I arrived a little after 10 am and I recalled a colleague telling me that Airbrau has really good food. I quickly walked towards the map and it was nearby to my relief. It's a bar that has an indoor open 'patio' area that allows patrons to sit and relax between flights. The staff was smiling and greeted me warmly. I asked if they were able to make a dish quickly as I didn't have too much time and the answer was a smile and the words 'of course!'. The menu quickly arrived and it was filled with many options of the Barvarian cuisine. There were tempting options of meats, sausages, and beer but I tried to keep it semi light during my travels. I opted for the pan seared trout with a side salad.
In about 5 minutes, I had a wonderful plate filled with salad and a very large portion of freshly made trout. The trout was pleasantly good... nice crisp sear, moist, and not a single 'fishy' smell. This was true restaurant quality! The salad was plentiful and had a nice dressing that wasn't too heavy. I did pay 16 euros for it but I honestly believe it was worth the price. I also got a coffee and it came with all the various types of milks and sugars without being asked... it even came with a wrapped biscuit!
If I ever have to go through Europe again, I will actually purposely try to go through Munich again. In addition to being one of the best laid out and run airports, Airbrau has made me a believer that airports can have good food that is worth the price.
