Snacks at Munich Airport – Slowly but surely, I'm approaching my 20th test at Munich Airport (Overview of all tests of the catering services at Munich AirportIt's incredible, isn't it, the sheer variety and abundance of food available there? I'm checking out one restaurant after another, and more and more new culinary highlights and specials keep popping up – or so it seems to me. Whether it's coffee, cake, tiramisu, fish, meat, sushi, soup, pizza, schnitzel, roast pork, or burgers – there's practically nothing you can't find at Munich Airport. For a while now, I've been getting a lot of requests to review the "snack station," as not everyone has the time to stop at a restaurant. I understand, so I set off for Bianca's Tasty Tour and tested some "quick snacks" between my food stops. So, if you're in a hurry or only have a crumpled tenner in your pocket for something small, keep reading.

Oliva Döner (Terminal 2)

What snacks are available at Munich Airport?

Grabbing a quick bite, a snack, or packing lunch – we've all been there, and sometimes it's unavoidable. Too often we're short on time or just not that hungry. It happens to everyone, but Munich Airport has a solution: a quick snack on the go. I explored the airport's culinary scene, consciously trying to find snacks outside of the restaurants. What did I find? Plenty!

Bakery Wünsche – Savory, hearty, sweet, warm, or even healthy. It was all no problem, so at my first stop – one of the two Wünsche bakeries (both in Terminal 2, Level 03, and in the Munich Airport Center towards Terminal 1) – I grabbed something sweet and something savory. From filled baguettes and butter pretzels to sweet pastries and a (currently) colorful selection of doughnuts, everything is freshly and attractively displayed in the counter. I opted for a bee sting doughnut and a raspberry doughnut (for just under €4 together). You can only eat your snack from the Wünsche bakery to go, as the three tables belonging to the Edeka supermarket next door are usually occupied by its customers. Into the bag it went, and off I went – time to sample something savory first.

The Edeka supermarket in Terminal 1 has a "hot food counter".„

Edeka "Hot Food Counter"„ With the doughnuts in tow, I headed straight to the Edeka supermarket next door. It has a "hot food counter" stocked with Leberkäse rolls, various soups (from the Munich Soup Kitchen), different kinds of meat (for sandwiches), and other items. There, I ventured to try one of the three different hot soups and ordered a mushroom soup with a pretzel (for €3.95). At the "hot food counter," the soups are filled into small paper cups and handed to you; you pay at the supermarket's main checkout. Unfortunately, there's no place to eat in (apart from the three small tables mentioned in front of the store), but it's still worth a visit, as you can also take the soups to go. The Munich Soup Kitchen (Viktualienmarkt) is well-known throughout the city for its top-quality soups, and anyone looking to warm up before or after a trip should definitely try it. There are also filled rolls, wraps, toasts or other small dishes (goulash with noodles, currywurst with bread roll, etc.) up to a maximum of €4.90.

After a very delicious soup (and a slightly hard pretzel – next time I'll get one from the bakery…), I naturally remembered my doughnuts. They were wonderfully fresh, airy, and delicious. There are some doughnuts you eat and immediately forget because they're just nothing special. But the ones from Wünsche Bakery definitely deserve their place.

Sweets from Brioche Dorée in Terminal 2

Brioche Dorée – If you prefer a quieter spot for your snack, head to the French bakery Brioche Doreé on level 04 of Terminal 2. They also have several locations in Munich, offering high-quality baked goods and exquisite pastries. The shop is quite small, the selection manageable, but the quality is excellent and a feast for the eyes. They offer filled rolls and baguettes, croissants, and a variety of hot and cold drinks. There are a few high tables for two, perfect for relaxing. The atmosphere is much more peaceful than, for example, at the aforementioned Wünsche bakery in Terminal 1, due to the lower foot traffic. Brioche Doreé also offers one hour of free Wi-Fi if you'd like to browse the internet. During my snack test, I enjoyed a giant pistachio macaron and a "Le Petit Dé Jeuner Creote" (a sweet pineapple pastry). With two 0.5l soft drinks, I paid €9. They also offer the "Menu Grande," which is a generously filled French baguette with a bottle of water and a fruity tart from the display case for €7.90. It's also a good snack – savory and sweet, as well as thirst-quenching – for a quick bite at a fair price. So, I recommend stopping by if you're looking for a quieter and slightly more upscale snacking experience.

A doner kebab to go (€4.50)

Oliva Döner – So, we had soup with a pretzel, doughnuts, and small sweet pastries. Of course, what would an airport snack be without doner kebab? Oliva is a well-known doner kebab chain with over ten locations in Munich. At Munich Airport, you'll find their shop in Terminal 2 on Level 03, offering a wide selection of fresh salads, baked goods, Turkish pizza, and, of course, kebabs, as well as international snacks. What few people know is that all the ingredients are homemade and organically grown. I tried the doner – even though I'm already familiar with it from downtown Munich – and was quite satisfied. It costs €4.50 here, and you can choose between chicken or veal. The team is super friendly and fun-loving, and they're happy to prepare your doner for eating in or to go. It's not exactly a comfortable place to sit, so the to-go option is recommended. They skimp a bit on the meat, but overall, it was quite tasty, and the price was right.

McCafé – One thing no one can really miss once they arrive at Munich Airport is McDonald's and its McCafé. Don't worry, I'm not recommending a cheeseburger, but rather the, in my opinion, genuinely cozy McCafé with its fresh cakes, sandwiches, bagels, and baguettes, as well as various hot drinks and more. You can also sit comfortably – with three hours of free Wi-Fi via Telekom – and I've spent many an efficient working hour there, laptop in hand, with cake and coffee, either before or after my previous restaurant reviews.

A freshly cooked goulash soup as a snack

Sportalm – The "Sportalm – Naturküche" has just opened, right in the entrance area of Terminal 2. My comprehensive review of the location and cuisine is still pending as part of the Tasty Tour, but of course I couldn't resist checking out the snacks. A regularly changing soup – currently it was goulash soup – is offered at a fair price (€5.90). Add a bread roll for 40 cents and you're good to go. Alternatively, and very trendy right now: the pulled pork roll for €4.90, which they'll happily hand you over the counter for a quick bite. I'll try both another time.

Leysieffer – Self-service restaurant – As the final treat of my day's snack tour, I had a Leberkäse roll for €4.50 (yes, that was expensive, I admit it) from Leysieffer – a self-service restaurant in the central area on the way to the various departure areas. I didn't like that the Leberkäse was served on a baguette roll and not a star-shaped or round roll, and that it could only be taken away in a huge cardboard box that wasn't designed for it. The Leberkäse tasted good, but next time I might just go for the Leberkäse roll from the Edeka "hot food counter" (for €2).

Warm soup from Edeka (Munich soup kitchen)

Which of these can I recommend?

A calorie-laden and delicious day of snacking at Munich Airport came to an end. I would eat again at Brioche Doreé, at the Wünsche bakery, at the fresh food counter in Edeka, and – judging by the looks – at Sportalm, although I still have a more extensive test to do there. Next to Edeka, there's also a small Segafredo café for a quick coffee. (If you're departing from Terminal 2, Level 5, then grab a coffee there.) Boconero! :-))
