Bavarian cuisine is known for its hearty and flavorful dishes rather than sophistication. Locals prefer simple yet filling food that is often rich and spicy.
It is no surprise that many restaurants in Munich specialize in traditional Bavarian dishes such as Bretzel (salted Bavarian pretzel), Obatzda (a cheese spread made with camembert), Bavarian-style aspic (Sülze), potato dumplings (Kartoffelklöße), sauerkraut with caraway and apples (Sauerkraut), and roasted pork knuckle (Schweinehaxe).
