The Englischer Garten in Munich, as well as being a great place to sunbath naked and surf, is home to a few beer gardens, the best of which are Seehaus and Chinesischer Turm. Agent M and I hit both of them, and while we preferred the quiet, laid back atmosphere of Seehaus, the rowdy Chinesischer Turm (which is the second largest beer garden in Munich) was a lot of fun. Both places had a pretty wide food selection including Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick, which looks disgusting), Hendl (roasted Cornish Game Hens), Schweinshaxn (roasted pork knuckle), shaved radishes, and a variety of salads. The non-mayo potato salad at Chinesischer Turm was particularly good.

While in Munich, we made a point to go to as many authentic beer gardens as possible, which often meant traveling outside of the tourist areas via public transportation. “The Beer Drinker’s Guide to Munich” by Larry Hawthorne was indispensable in helping us figure out which beer gardens were worth going to, and in showing us exactly how to get to them. Plus, it has coupons for free beer!!!
