OskarMaria Brasserie

The spacious interiors of this lovely lunch spot bring to mind the great coffee houses of Vienna more than the cozy brasseries of Paris. The location is a bit hidden in Munich’s Literaturhaus, a cultural institution that hosts more than 100 readings, talks and literary events throughout the year. Follow the locals' lead and go for the daily specials written on chalkboards. Fun for book lovers, literary quotes show up on everything from the placemats to the bottom of espresso cups. OskarMaria is also open for dinner but it’s most popular for lunch and delicious homemade cake and strong coffee in the afternoon.
