Bratwurstherzl am Viktualienmarkt (Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 1, 80331 Munich)

****

Just around the corner of Munich´s Farmer´s Market (Viktualienmarkt), there´s a true home for sausage lovers, well frequented by tourists and locals alike. If you´d ask me why, I´d say, it´s mostly, because they are serving you a special flavor with their sausages here.
The Bratwurstherzl is roasting the Wuerstel on an open beechwood fire in a historic cellar with a lot of historic flair to it.

Rich beechwood fumes do add that perfect extra note in harmony with the strong majoran flavors of the classic short and thick Nuernberger pork sausages, which we strongly advise you to order from the menu: Try those eight Rostbratwürste mit Weinsauerkraut (7,85 Euro). When you order, you´ll have a choice of potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) or Sauerkraut as a side dish.
Don´t go for that salad here. It hasn´t convinced us. The Kraut however did surprise  with its pleasant sour taste (no gravy sauce added here, though).

Let´s admit it, those heart shaped tin plates underneath your food servings here do look tacky and a bit out of place today, but who cares in this otherwise pleasant place. And after all this restaurant calls itself the Heart of the Bratwurst.

To sum it up: Visit the Bratwurstherzl, because of that open fire roast and their Nuernberger sausages with that special beechwood aroma. Have a dark beer with it and you find perfect harmony. After that, please do come back to „The Wurst“ for more news on sausage eating in Munich.

The saddest sausages in town: Munich´s airport microwave dinner

Certainly your last chance for Bavarian sausages, before you´ll leave Munich: Inside Munich´s Airport Terminal 1, there are two bistro style restaurants waiting for hungry travelers. One of them is devoted to Italian fast food, the other one is offering a distant hint of Bavarian „cuisine“, with Leberkäse and Weißwurst on the menu.
Don´t expect anything worth remembering, tough.

Just to give it a try, ´we´ve ordered a pair of Weißwürste on a slow Sunday evening. Traditionally, you´d buy a fresh pretzel extra with your sausages, but as there were none left that day, so we were offered a pale old roll. Seriously, folks: that´s a no-go! Rather decline any extra, before you go that way. That combination does´t go well. So it was just a lonely, minimalist pair of sausages for this saddest food test, ready for the next surprise. 

Dumbfounded, we witnessed those two sausages being relieved from a previously vacuumed life in plastic, put into the above porcelain bowl and sent into the microwave for a few seconds. Squeeze your sweet Develey mustard out of those two mini-bags you´ll get and that´s the whole package. Okay, the employee apologized about the missing pretzel, when he anded out this unfortunate creation.

To sum it up: Don´t think about eating sausages here. It may be possibly the saddest Weißwurst eating experience in the Munich area. Better wait and have some good sausage experiences in town, next time.
