Burger House

Where? Rablstraße 37 (S-bahn: Rosenheimer Platz) & Ismaninger Straße 5 (U-bahn: Max-Weber-Platz)

What? Many claim Burger House serves Munich's best burger and, after trying quite a few burger joints in the city, I am inclined to agree. Their ingredients are fresh, the bread and sauce homemade, and the burger is juicy and tasty. Try the sweet potato fries or the hand-cut pommes.

Café Marais

Where? Parkstrasse 2 (U-bahn: Schwanthalerhöhe)

What? Worth the trip to the Westend if you are on the look-out for something a bit different from the usual Munich cafés. It doubles as a shop that sells vintage furniture, accessories and cosmetics.

Occam Deli

Where? Feilitzschstrasse 15 (U-bahn: Münchner Freiheit)

What? A modern take on the New York deli. It's great for a light lunch (or not so light if you have the warm pastrami sandwich) or for a filling mid-afternoon meal. Their scrumptious snacks have interesting and unusual flavour combinations, the coffee is good and the home-made cakes are delicious too.

Café Maria

Where? Klenzestraße 97 (U-Bahn: Fraunhoferstraße)

What? For some reason I can't quite pin down, I really like this place. It's usually packed on the weekends, but not so much as other Glockenbach cafés, particularly on a sunny, warm day when you can seat outside. It has decent coffee, good cakes, and excellent and varied breakfast options.

Rue des Halles

Where? Steinstraße 18 (U-bahn: Max-Weber-Platz)

What? The oldest French restaurant in Munich has a simple but inviting atmosphere, very good and unpretentious food and charming waiters. It's great for a relaxed, if slightly fancy, dinner with friends.

M Belleville

Where? Fallmerayerstraße 16 (U-Bahn: Hohenzollernplatz)

What? A Michelin-listed French restaurant that gets high marks for its excellent food at reasonable prices. It's a great place for a special dinner with friends. It really is a very, very good restaurant, though you'd never tell from the exterior.

Bald Neu

Where? Sommerstraße 33 (U-bahn: Kolumbusplatz)

What? Hipster cafe with excellent coffee. Only place I have found in Munich that serves flat whites. And I've heard they have good banana bread too.

Vits

Where? Rumfordstraße 49 (S-bahn: Isartor)

What? One of the top places in Munich to get quality coffee. The cappuccino is consistently excellent, and the homemade cakes are delicious too. It is a 'Kaffeerösterei' so you can get your freshly ground coffee here too.
