Wirtshaus Maximilian

Maximilian does the best of the Wirtshaus—beautiful ales, hearty food and a roaring fire—without the dark wood carving, hunting trophies and chintzy fabrics which can, even for the seasoned Bavarian, begin to cloy. The interior is white and light, with simple furnishings and just the right measure of fresh pine. Like the décor, the food is a contemporary take on tradition, notching up Bavarian and Tyrolean classics with zesty additions like cheese dumplings with apricot, leek, and lime butter. There’s a comprehensive selection of local Augustiner beers and friendly (if not always super-efficient) service.
