Frommer's Recommended

This eatery can be patronized as either a cafe or a full-fledged restaurant at its location between Pettenkoferstrasse and Beethovenplatz. It's a bit of a charmer and relatively unnoticed by foreign visitors. A grand piano takes up one section of the spacious dining room in a sort of Art Nouveau styling. At night, the works of many composers -- not just Ludwig -- are performed here. It's sort of old-fashioned and a bit corny, very Middle Europe, and that's why it's so beloved locally. In addition to the classics, you can also hear jazz. Many patrons drop in for breakfast from a large menu, especially recommended on a Sunday when live classical music is heard. Many in-the-know guests come here for the chef's pork dishes, and roast pig (Schweinebraten) is the specialty. The restaurant has a deal with a farmer in Bavaria who is said to raise \"free range\" pigs that are fed an excellent diet. In addition to the pork, an array of international dishes and even some vegetarian specialties are offered as well.
