By far the best Bavarian food (as opposed to food in Bavaria) I've tried so far. Located in downtown Munich less than a block away from the extremely touristy Hofbräuhaus, this restaurant caters to a very different clientele. Most visitors were locals celebrating some occasions. A note: while there is no dress code, a lot of patrons do dress up quite a bit in the evening. In a classic German tradition, the place is much larger inside than it appears to be from outside, Mehr sein als scheinen!
The interior is an interplay between classy (white linen, upscale furniture) and traditional (this is an old building, and decor tries to accentuate this feeling of long history). Food follows the similar path: the basic outline and the names of the dishes are traditional, while the chef's imagination transfers these recipes into modern culinary delights.
So, if you want to try the suckling pig, but dislike the portions, presentation, and taste that are provided in the beer houses, this is the place for you to try it as a part of the refined Duett vom Schwein. A must-try: Pfifferlings Terrine. Main dishes in the evening will cost 30-35 euro.
Pfistermühle offers the Ayinger beer. I was not terribly impressed by it; next time we will go for a wine (as did most of the locals).
