Leiberheim - München

This biergarten is the archetype of what a Munich biergarten should be. Spacious, decent selection of food and local beer. The Erharting brew was relatively innoculous and nothing special, but generally the vibe was spot on. Good place to meet with friends.

This is a great traditional biergarten on the outskirts of Munich, but well worth the visit. The beer is good, the food is also not bad and they always have freshly bakes pretzels which very well with beer : The service is very friendly. If you are with kids they have a nice little playground which will keep the kids busy, while you can still see them from your table, All in all very nice place and usually not crowded.

I was fortunate to stumble upon this traditional Biergarten in Waldperlach in the south-east of Munich. Although still inside the city limits, it 's outside the central area, and thus away from the hustle and bustle. There is no cross-traffic in the area, so it 's quiet and peaceful. Indeed, it adjoins a woods almost right out of a fairy tale, but although nearby streets are named for characters from the Brothers Grimm and from Wagnerian opera, I didn 't notice a witch 's cottage in the woods. The Biergarten and Wirtshaus (Restaurant date back to the early 20th century, before the first World War, when the Infantry Regiment that served in peacetime as the Royal (Body Guard for the Bavarian King established it as a support and recreation facility for the Regiment. The Regiment is long since gone, but the wonderful Biergarten and Wirtshaus are still going strong. It 's a large-sized Biergarten, well-shaded, seating about 2500, and is very family-friendly with a huge play area for the children, filled with swings, slides, and other things to keep the young ones occupied while their parents relax. I noticed quite a few families with children while I was there. And unlike most Biergärten in Munich, the beer they serve does not come from one of the Big Six Munich breweries, but rather is an almost-craft beer, brewed in a small brewery, Erharting. I found it to be full-bodied beer with a very good taste. Also, the man drawing the beer gave me a full pour, actually a bit over the liter line, unlike some Biergärten where they give you a short pour and rely on a rule (supposedly that they can short you up to 10% and still be considered to have given you a liter of beer. (I wonder if those Biergärten would be happy with receiving only 90% of the price they 're asking. And it wasn 't an accident; when I later got up to get a refill, the new liter of beer was also well above the liter line. And I was fortunate enough to be there on a day that they were serving Spanferkel, suckling pig. The roast pork was so tender and tasty I could hardly believe it. And looking at the menu, I discovered that Wednesdays (I was there on a Wednesday was schnitzel day in the evening, with a whole menu of cutlets served various ways. I will definitely be back. Leibheim is a classic example of Bavarian Biergarten culture.

Excellent location with a nice shaded beer garden with a play area for kids. Food is of a good standard in the beer garden. There is also a terrace restaurant and also and indoor restaurant. The food is very wekk prepared and presented by friendly staff. An excellent location with the choice of beer garden or restaurant.

A great beer garden, super sympathetic service and delicious food. What do you want more on a beautiful summer night?
