Munich restaurants with a view
First, a few of the hottest restaurants with a great view:
1. Cafe Glockenspiel (Marienplatz)
- Why: Cafe Glockenspiel has been around for over 25 years and is an integral part of Munich's city centre. High above the rooftops of Munich, guests can enjoy a breathtaking view of the town hall with its famous carillon and St Peter's Church. Before, during or after a stroll through the city centre, the café always offers the right thing for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake as well as dinner.
- Top themes: "Munich restaurant with a view", "Top restaurants in Munich", "Culinary highlights in Munich".
- Address: Marienplatz 28, 80331 Munich.
2. Fitzroy (Werksviertel)
- Why: Modern Australian cuisine in Munich on the 14th floor of the WERK4 tower block with 360-degree views across the city to the Alps. A unique ambience and exceptional cuisine inspired by Asian and European culinary culture. A surprising and light variety of flavours to match the view beyond the horizon.
- Top topics: "Restaurant recommendations Munich", "Munich restaurants with a view", "Gourmet restaurants Munich".
- Address: Atelierstraße 22, 81671 Munich.
3. 181 (Olympiaturm) closed for renovation
- Why: This restaurant is located 181 metres above Munich and offers a panoramic view of Munich all the way to the Alps. It is ideal for special occasions and will soon be reopened in new splendour. Anyone who has ever spent an enjoyable evening in the famous revolving restaurant will never forget this combination of culinary delights and views.
