01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Sitting down to a bowl of complimentary popcorn while anticipating a cold draught beer and the signature fried chicken creates a delightful sense of buildup. The star dish at Munchen is its fried young chicken, offered in 2 styles: a lighter, flavor-packed boneless cut using chicken breast, and a succulent bone-in version. Accompanied by fragrant savory sauces and custom seasoning blends, it pairs so naturally with that first cold glass that the beer disappears in no time.

A standout feature of the hall is its expansive selection of beers. Asahi Draught Beer "Maruef" is poured in various formats, with sizes ranging from glass mugs to small and large steins, served in glassware, ceramic mugs, or chilled copper vessels. For broader exploration, the taps and bottles extend to international favorites, including the citrusy Hoegaarden White, the foundational Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic, and rich Belgian Chimay beers, ensuring a glass suited to any dish or mood.

The depth of the Western-style beer hall menu is equally appealing. Smaller bites like a fluffy omelette filled with spicy minced meat, braised sauerkraut served hot or chilled, and boiled weisswurst serve as reliable drinking companions. Heartier plates are just as well represented, from rich crab cream croquettes and Japanese hamburg steaks to sizzling teppan Napolitan spaghetti, offering plenty of sustenance for a full evening dinner.

With continuous service running from midday into the night, the space accommodates an early afternoon toast, a leisurely lunch, or an impromptu drink before dusk. Desserts such as Basque cheesecake, pumpkin pudding, and apple pie wrap up the menu, letting diners linger over a sweet finish.
