This is where the BBQ is taking place. Take a seat and enjoy.
Smokey Mountain BBQ at BMW Welt | From the beginning of June to the beginning of August, the "Smokey Mountain BBQ" event takes place every Friday evening (from 7 pm to 11 pm) on the popular Bavaria Terrace at BMW Welt. Guests can expect not only what is probably the most beautiful terrace in the city, complete with evening sun, cool drinks, and a great atmosphere, but also a fantastic BBQ with freshly prepared meat and fish specialties from the smoker, seasonally inspired vegetable and salad variations, and delicious desserts. My companion and I were fortunate enough to be part of this culinary summer dream.
A great view awaits you on the Bavarie terrace.
The Bavaria at BMW Welt Munich
Smokey Mountain BBQ is the weekly, two-month-long summer event of Bavarie, located within BMW Welt. Bavarie is part of the culinary offerings within the renowned BMW Welt and is operated by Käfer – a name familiar to every Munich gourmet. Anyone already familiar with BMW Welt, which opened in October 2007 – located right next to the city's iconic "Four-Cylinder" building and headquarters of the BMW Group – knows that it's worth a visit for its architecture alone. The building has not only received numerous awards for its architecture but is also considered a state-of-the-art and world-renowned landmark of Munich. Over three million visitors a year come to visit one of Bavaria's most popular attractions. Among them are many children and teenagers who celebrate birthdays in the stylish BMW Welt, participate in youth programs, and enjoy the integrated Junior Campus. For adults, there's a wealth of culture, art, and entertainment in the form of numerous events throughout the year. I personally particularly enjoy the display of diverse vehicles, and I always find it a pleasure to stroll through the exhibition or the various brand experience areas of BMW, MINI, BMW Motorrad, or Rolls-Royce, for example, before a meal, and – depending on the opportunity – even to sit in the driver's seat. Questions are also gladly answered on site.
Here the meat is prepared and served. Delicious!
But now back to the Smokey Mountain BBQ. Who among you is already familiar with Bavarie? The venue is known both as a typical French brasserie and for the finest Bavarian regional cuisine. As a guest, you'll be served internationally inspired dishes, sustainably prepared with regional ingredients. The Smokey Mountain BBQ is definitely one of the highlights of Bavarie's summer, and I'm sure that anyone who enjoys good food, spending summer evenings outdoors, and all of this with a certain level of sophistication will find the Smokey Mountain BBQ on the Bavarie terrace just right. I was there last Friday with a prior reservation (details below) and enjoyed a wonderful evening (for €64 per person).
I'll get some side dishes to go with my meat and fish.
The culinary offerings
There's plenty going on in the culinary department! Meat and fish will be prepared in style and live in a smoker as part of the Smokey Mountain BBQ. A menu will be available for the evening – also displayed on the tables – showcasing everything that will be offered at the BBQ. Divided into various categories ("Freshly Prepared from Our Smoker," "Sauces," "Salads," "Side Dishes," "Sweets," "Drinks"), there's sure to be something for everyone. From cedar-smoked salmon with apple glaze and honey, beef brisket, and Texas chicken with honey and straight bourbon, to baby back ribs and Texas jalapeño sausages, a wide selection of meat and fish will be available. "Hot Candy Donuts" and cornbread will also be on offer. The sauces (Texas Salsa, Ranch Dressing, Homemade BBQ Sauce, and Steakhouse Butter) are served at the table along with the salads (Texas Style Potato Salad with Bacon, Old Bay Seasoning, and Shallot; Cole Slaw with Buttermilk; BBQ Vegetable Salad; Green Papaya and Watermelon Salad) and don't need to be collected from the BBQ buffet. The attractively presented side dishes are displayed at the buffet in large platters: Double-Baked Potato with Four Cheeses and Leeks, Eggplant with Texas Salsa, Baked Beans with BBQ Sauce and Tomato, Green Grilled Asparagus with Citrus, and Mac and Cheese. For dessert, Pecan Pie, Texas Mud Chocolate, and Moonshine with Rum are offered and brought to the table on a serving cart.
This is what your table will look like after you have filled your plates.
Drinks are included. This includes the delicious aperitif drinks served at the beginning (one with apple juice and maple syrup, one with lime, tonic water, and mint), red and white wine (Panamera Chardonnay and Cuvée Napa), as well as water, beer (Paulaner), soft drinks, and coffee (emilo). I also learned that evening about the "Chef's Choice Menu," which Bavarie offers every Friday. It combines the chef's favorite ingredients with the most popular dishes from the menu to create a unique four-course meal. I might just stop by. If you'd like more information beforehand, you can find it here. here. It's best to click through the event program.

My visit to Smokey Mountain BBQ
My companion and I had a wonderful evening. Right from the moment we arrived, we were in a great mood and felt like summer. The set tables and their glasses shimmered in the sunlight, the BBQ menu was laid out, and the aroma of delicious meat from the smoker filled the air. At 7 p.m., the side dishes were ready, and we were able to pick up a plate and our first portion of meat and fish of our choice next to the smoker station. Delicious! Of course, you can also choose your own side dishes. But hold back a little here, as you get a generous selection of salads and sauces (see above). The salads were fantastic. My favorites were the potato salad and the papaya-watermelon salad. The meat was wonderfully tender, and I helped myself to several portions. I also asked for refills of drinks multiple times. When the sun finally set, the view of the Olympic Tower and the Olympic Stadium darkened, and the evening sun added even more charm, you truly felt like you were on vacation. Also absolutely fantastic: the Live DJ Patric Kosche, I even went up to the owner and asked for the playlist of the music they were playing. The location is simply stunning. The food is high quality, and the price – now that I've been there – is more than fair. Thanks again to the friendly chef, Dominik Kreuzig.
