Alte Utting

The first time I visited this spot was on a previous trip to Munich. A couple of years later, I was pleased to find almost all of the same food stalls, which was especially good news since I'd been craving the rosemary potatoes with remoulade since I'd first tasted them all that time ago. It's a little off the beaten path from central Munich, but definitely worth the trek. The neighborhood has a real artsy and Bohemian feel, and so does this spot. Essentially, it's a collection of food stalls with picnic seating, and most notably, seating within a reclaimed/renovated boat. During the weekends it can get crowded, but it's almost always possible to find somewhere to sit, even if not your first choice. The food vendors serve up a variety of cuisines, including Thai, Indian, and African. As mentioned, my personal favorite is the rosemary potatoes with remoulade at the German place, which I'd been craving since my first visit. If you're ever in Munich this is a much stop, especially if you're with a group or meeting friends. The spot makes a perfect end-of-day wind-down spot or a midday break. And, of course, they have a bar and serve drinks too! My recommendation is to come on a sunny day and linger for a couple of hours.

Someone had the idea of rescuing an old ferry ship that was headed to the scrap yard and put it up in Munich on top of an old railway bridge and turn it into a beer garden / bar. And so began the journey of this new place in the Schlachthofviertel of Munich. Friends of ours live around the corner from here and invited to board the ferry for a trip ;-) It's all self service here with plenty of seating on and around the ship. There are a few food stalls around with standard Bavarian fare and also a vegan / vegetarian food truck. I had one of the vegan bowls and it was quite nice. A great place to visit when the sun is shining. Not quite sure how this place will fare during the winter months and only time will tell.

A one of a kind gem in the heart of Munich. So many different food choices from Bavarian to African. Entertainment, artists and more. One of my new favorite 'secret' spots.

This is the kind of place you go to hang out with a bunch of friends, part bar, part music venue, part restaurant, with a bunch of beer garden vibes. It's a cool experience and beautiful when the sun is setting. There are plenty of food options, and the prices are fairly high compared to most beer gardens, but then again this isn't a typical beer garden.

Amazing with great food and beer. The atmosphere and people were very nice and there are many spaces to explore and hang out in and enjoy!
