5 brunch rooms in Munich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Munich | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in Munich leans on its grand cafe houses and a softer all-day cafe culture rather than a fixed weekend ritual. Café Luitpold on Brienner Strasse in the Altstadt sets the formal Viennese-influenced tone, while Café Reitschule in Schwabing trades on its Englischer Garten edge. The Cotidiano rooms, on Gärtnerplatz in the Glockenbachviertel and at Promenadeplatz in the Altstadt, run the relaxed bakery-cafe style that defines the modern Munich brunch.
