Be it Greek souvlaki, Indian butter chicken, Japanese sushi, Italian pizza or simply burgers and fast food. There is everything! Also, there are bistros, cafes, bars and pubs – and of course the world-famous beer gardens. So Munich is not only something for culture lovers, but also gourmets (and basically every food lover).
