Brasserie Colette Tim Raue
This restaurant is a "Brasserie" in more than name, and that's not least due to popular classics such as bouillabaisse or steak-frites, not to mention the tarte au chocolat. Dishes such as tuna niçoise, artichoke, green beans & anchovy mayonnaise are also tempting. Alongside the à la carte offerings, there are various set menus. Add to that a tasteful French brasserie look and an eager front-of-house team, who provide friendly and attentive service, and you have a stylish atmosphere abounding with charm.

falke23
At this particular Bib, a two-pronged culinary approach means diners can choose between tasty inn-style dishes or, alternatively, a creative set menu – it is a formula that goes down a treat. In keeping with the smart and charming rustic-style interior, which exudes traditional Bavarian flair, you will find classics on the menu such as roast pork with potato dumplings or veal cream goulash with hand-scraped spaetzle. The set menu comprises three or four courses, e.g. watermelon gazpacho followed by sea trout, Hokkaido pumpkin, red onion, spicy granola and, to finish, pineapple, white chocolate, fleur de sel. Accompanied by wine or a good beer.

Freisinger Hof
It is not only Bavarian cuisine that is represented at this inn dating back to 1875, but Austrian, too. Ox meat dishes such as Tafelspitz (boiled beef), feather steak and ox tongue are notable specialties. They feature alongside Backhendl (fried chicken), Wiener schnitzel and half farmhouse duck fresh from the oven. The menu also includes fine dishes such as fillet of cod loin on two kinds of cauliflower, parsley foam and black truffle. Courteous service and a charming setting make for a pleasant atmosphere. In season, it goes without saying that the leafy garden is much sought after.

For foodies who feel like getting out of the city, there are also plenty of great Bib Gourmand eateries further afield...
Gasthaus Weißenbeck (Bergkirchen)
The art of hospitality goes back a long way in the Weißenbeck family. The commitment with which mother and daughter run their lovely establishment can also be seen in the top-notch regional dishes made with seasonal ingredients: filleted Bavarian salmon trout fried on the skin, with kohlrabi noodles, parsley puree and lemon butter or venison and porcini mushrooms in a herb cream with Serviettenknödel (bread dumplings). As for the location, the space has been lovingly designed and oozes traditional rural charm; you are served by a well-organised, friendly and experienced team. Be sure to come in summer, too – the leafy garden terrace is truly idyllic!

Fürstenfelder (Fürstenfeldbruck)
Here, they serve really good cuisine that is also sustainable, for example, in the form of baked cauliflower with artichoke cream, pear chutney and crispy cauliflower leaves (vegan) or sous-vide flank steak cooked on the Josper grill. The braised lamb with potato focaccia, herb mushrooms, kale and redcurrant, or creamy risotto with torn burrata and marinated beetroot are just as tempting. The ingredients come from the region, and organic quality is a priority. The setting also deserves a mention: the restaurant is housed in an old monastery complex – or, more precisely, in the monastery stables, in which the magnificent cross vault has been integrated into modern decor that includes a show kitchen.

Alte Posthalterei (Zorneding)
The charming Alte Posthalterei is everything you could want a Bavarian inn to be! Family-owned for 100 years, this is a place where tradition is preserved and links to the region are nurtured. This ethos is also reflected in the menu: smoked trout fillet with horseradish cream and salad and Tafelspitz & Bouillonkartoffeln (boiled meat with potatoes in bouillon) and horseradish feature on the menu, as does half a farmhouse duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage or venison fillet in juniper cream with bacon savoy, black salsify, spaetzle and pears with lingonberry. Some dishes are also available in smaller portions. The food is served at classically and quite elaborately decorated tables set out in a pretty space done out in traditional style. The terrace on the opposite side of the street is also pleasant in warm weather.

Zum Vaas (Forstinning)
Are select ingredients, preferably from the region, your priority? Here, they come in the form of venison strips with vegetables and curd cheese spaetzle or braised beef shoulder with red cabbage and Semmelknödel (bread dumplings), or as "Vaas Classics" such as veal loin Wiener schnitzel with fried potatoes and a small salad. Alongside the delicious traditional and regional seasonal cuisine, there is also an impressive wine list with a focus on Germany and France, but also Austria and beyond. The origins of this traditional Bavarian establishment date back to 1864. It also encompasses a hotel of the same name, and has been run by the same family for four generations. The dedication of the management team can also be felt in the friendly and experienced service.
