Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport Yesterday was my 20th visit to the Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport, and I have to admit I was really looking forward to it. This was partly because I had recently attended an event at the bistro's flagship location in Munich and had the opportunity to sample some of their specialties. So I knew I could expect high-quality food. I'm talking about Dallmayr, or rather, the Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport. The bistro is located – unfortunately for all non-flyers – after security.

The Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport

Arrival at the Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport

The Dallmayr Bistro is yet another example of how a cozy atmosphere can be created even in a busy place like an airport. Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the warm lighting, the appealing interior, and the overall inviting ambiance. Fresh flowers adorned the marble tables, which were spaced far enough apart, while colorful leather banquettes and tables provided warm colors. Above all, the bar and deli counter, located near the entrance, added to the bistro's already very open feel. It was a very welcoming scene, and I was eager to try it out. Once seated – my companion and I chose a table for two at the back – I had a good view of the entire bistro, the bar with its coffee station, and the separate area dedicated to purchasing Dallmayr products (champagne, chocolate, Weisswurst, tea, pralines, etc.).

As I sat there, taking it all in and gazing around, one of the friendly staff members came to our table and asked what we would like. We dutifully opted for water to start with and then looked at the menu. While browsing, we remembered the counter with its display of main courses, fresh cakes, breads, and baguettes in all sorts of varieties. So we got up from our comfortable spot to take a closer look.

The fresh food counter with lots of delicacies

Fresh food counter, menu and offers

Anyone who isn't already hungry or has an appetite will certainly get one after a glance at the aforementioned counter. Super appetizing and freshly arranged, various delicacies beckon. I also really appreciated that all the main courses were displayed. A very rare and yet quite practical gesture in the restaurant world, as it makes it much easier to see what you're in the mood for and whether you like it prepared that way. Besides the delicious cakes in the separate area, one of the sandwiches or breads and one of the main courses particularly caught my eye. There are usually travelers and customers not dine-in at the counter. We found a spot to browse and made a decision before taking our seats again. The counter and the menu had been studied, the decision made. Before ordering and tasting, we took another look at the regular menu.

The menu is well-organized and not too large, but it offers something for everyone. New dishes and specials are regularly added, depending on the season. Regional and seasonal sourcing of ingredients plays a major role, with quality always being the top priority. Appetizers start at €13.90 (for burrata with oxheart tomatoes and fresh basil) and reach a maximum of €19.50 for salmon "Malossol" – Dallmayr smoked salmon with dill sauce. Main courses (excluding the deli counter) are divided into salads (from €4.80), soups (from €7.90), light meals (e.g., Munich white sausages with a pretzel from €9.80), and regular main courses (six different options from €14.50). Of course, there's also something sweet to finish off the meal (desserts from €4.50 or homemade cakes), but first, let's get to the savory options.

The "lunchbox bread" from the fresh food counter

Selection and evaluation of the dishes

We opted for a small sushi platter (there's also a medium one) for €13.50 (or €18.50 for the regular size), which included eight salmon and cucumber maki and eight inside-out maki with salmon, cucumber, and surimi. Personally, I don't like sushi that's been refrigerated. Of course, it shouldn't be too warm, but the cold often makes the rice very hard and sticky, giving it an "uncharacteristic" sushi texture when you bite into it. Otherwise, the sushi tasted incredibly fresh, the salmon was high quality, and everything was rolled tightly and thoroughly. Nothing fell apart when you picked it up with chopsticks. Before moving on to the main course, my companion and I shared a "lunch sandwich" from the display case – also for testing purposes – with ham and cheese, tomato, and lettuce (€5.90) – nicely wrapped in buttered bread and quite filling. If you're looking for a small but satisfying, high-quality snack – before or after your trip – this bread is sure to please. Alternatively, a wide variety of other breads, including dark whole-grain and spelt breads, with various toppings await you at the counter. Of course, you can also choose something at the counter and have it brought to your table if you prefer to eat in.

The Viennese schnitzel made from veal

Okay, so. Sushi as a starter – successfully devoured, the freshly made sandwiches from the display case shared and enjoyed, time for a main course. Let me list the standard offerings: 200 grams of rump steak with Dijon mustard sauce, market vegetables, and potato gratin (for €27.80), stir-fried vegetables with fried noodles (for €14.50), grilled pike-perch fillet with parsley potatoes and herb butter (for €18.90), approximately 150 grams of grilled salmon steak on grilled vegetables with potato gratin or rösti (for €19.80), spaghetti with shrimp in white wine sauce (for €16.90), or – last but not least – Viennese veal schnitzel with potato and arugula salad (for a reasonable €19.50). What we chose should be obvious ;-), or rather, there was simply no way around the veal Viennese schnitzel. As it turned out after being served quickly, it was a skillful decision: paper-thin, no lumps of meat, a golden-yellow, thin breading, and a truly good and very fresh potato salad. A Wiener Schnitzel in Munich can certainly be, as you know from my experience... Top list for the best Wiener Schnitzel in Munich You know, they look very different, yet each tastes fantastic. Here, as it should be, two individual pieces were served, exactly the right size and quantity. The value for money is also excellent. Because we were already quite full, we unfortunately skipped the delicious cake from the in-house patisserie, the Bavarian cream, the chocolate mousse (each €4.50), the apricot dumplings with vanilla sauce (€7.50), and the fresh fruit salad (€6.50). "Trying the cakes!" is definitely on my to-do list, though.

Cool, right? Dallmayr white sausages in a can.

Regarding drinks, we stuck with water. Alternatively, there are of course different varieties of Dallmayr coffee – also available in the small "counter shop area" for takeaway, various hot drinks, Dallmayr tea (for €4.20), non-alcoholic drinks, beers ("Hofbräu München" Original Helles and Hefeweizen, non-alcoholic "Paulaner" beer, non-alcoholic "Erdinger" Hefeweizen, Radler and Russ) in 0.3l or 0.5l glasses from €3.80, as well as of course champagne, white wines, red wines and other spirits, long drinks and whiskey.

Those arriving in the morning should take a look at the breakfast menu. It offers a "Small Breakfast" (€7.60) with various rolls (made in-house!), butter, Dallmayr jam, and a cup of Dallmayr coffee/tea; a "French Breakfast" (€8.50) with a croissant, butter, Dallmayr jam, and also a cup of Dallmayr coffee/tea; or a "Vital Breakfast" (€15.90) with a bowl of fruit/natural yogurt, fresh fruit salad, a 0.1l glass of Prosecco, and orange juice. Of course, there's also a traditional Bavarian white sausage breakfast with a pretzel and a half-liter of wheat beer (€13.90). You can also create your own breakfast with various extras, egg dishes, cheese and cold cut platters, yogurt combinations, and more, starting from €1.30. Pretzels and croissants in various varieties (from €1.60) are also on the breakfast menu. A great selection and definitely worth a visit if breakfast time (4:30 am to 11:00 am) falls during your stay.

Facts and information – Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport

What else is there to say? The Dallmayr Bistro at the airport has seating for approximately 220 guests at a time. It's a full-service bistro, meaning the entire seating area is staffed by the on-site team. You don't have to get anything yourself, but as mentioned, you can of course get a baguette, cake, or similar item from the counter and enjoy it there. Very important and worth mentioning: The Dallmayr team at the bistro is frequently asked if there are different prices for food, counter snacks, coffee and cake, etc., depending on whether they are eaten in (i.e., seated) or not at the bar or to go. No! Everything costs the same, whether you're walking, standing, or sitting. 😉 The Dallmayr Bistro aims to be accessible, attractive, and appealing to everyone. This is also reflected in the diverse menu. During my approximately two-hour stay, I got a good feel for it, and the concept works: From young to old, tall to short, Bavarian to tourist – everyone meets here in the cozy Dallmayr Bistro at Munich Airport. Clearly one of the best experiences I've had since my Tasty Tour here at Munich Airport. Dallmayr is known for its high quality, especially in the heart of Munich. Before you leave the bistro, take a look around the counter area with its teas, chocolates, canned white sausages (incredibly popular, not just with tourists! | 4 for €4.95), and other items. It's worth it!
