FOOD
For an authentic Bavarian lunch, grab a Brez’n (pretzel) and spread it with Leber -wurst (liverwurst) or cheese. WeifSwiirste (white veal sausages) are another native bargain. Don’t eat the skin of the sausage, just slice it open and eat the tender meat. Leberkas is a slice of a pinkish, meatloaf-like compound of ground beef and bacon, and Leberknodel are liver dumplings, usually served in soup.
The vibrant Viktualienmarkt, south of Marienpl. is Munich’s gastronomic center. It’s fun to browse, but don’t plan to do any budget grocery shopping here. (Open M-F 10am-8pm, Sa 8am-4pm.) Birthplace of the beer garden, Munich’s progeny are everywhere. The university district off LudwigstraBe is Munich’s best source of inexpensive and filling meals. Many reasonably priced restaurants and cafes cluster on Schellingstrafie, Amalienstrafie, and Tiirkenstrafie (U3 or 6 to Universitat.)
