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.
