5 editor picks in Munich.
5 brunch places 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.
Cotidiano on Munich's Gärtnerplatz cooks all-day breakfast in the Glockenbachviertel; one of the few rooms that takes brunch seriously every day of the week.
OrderThe breakfast platter with eggs, sourdough and avocado
TipSaturday brunch needs a 10:00 arrival or a booking; ask for a table on the Gärtnerplatz terrace.
Café Luitpold on Munich's Brienner Strasse, opened 1888 and once Europe's largest coffeehouse, runs a classic German brunch with Wiener Melange in the salon.
OrderThe breakfast Frühstück Luitpold with eggs, charcuterie, Hofpfisterei bread
TipSunday brunch books out the week before; the museum on coffee-house culture is worth a stop.
Café Frischhut off Munich's Viktualienmarkt has fried the Bavarian Schmalznudel doughnut since 1973; this is the morning sweet-counter for breakfast.
OrderSchmalznudel sugar-dusted Bavarian fried doughnut with filter coffee
TipClosed Sundays; queue is shortest at 09:00 weekday mornings; cash usually preferred.
Café Reitschule west of Munich's English Garden, since 1927, runs an all-day brunch carte; the terrace looks onto the university riding school's paddock.
OrderEggs Royale, fresh-baked Brezn, and a Wiener Melange
TipBook the terrace for Sunday brunch by Thursday; the kids' brunch carte is the city's strongest.
Cotidiano Promenadeplatz is the city-centre Cotidiano in Munich's Altstadt; an all-day cafe with specialty coffee and a longer brunch carte than the original.
OrderAvocado toast plus the daily breakfast bowl, espresso on the side
TipQuieter than Gärtnerplatz; the long communal table is the work-friendly seat.
