What & Where we Ate

We indulged in all kinds of fabulous foods while on our honeymoon, most of which I took pictures of so we could remember everything we tried.  Our first day in Munich, we ate lunch at the Glockenspiel Cafe.  I had a gnocchi with pumpkin and Aaron ordered another pasta dish.  Both were delicious and, since all we had eaten was plane food, we scarfed down our meals.

That evening, we ate dinner at the Hofbrauhaus.  On our tour guide's suggestion, we ordered a pretzel and a pork knuckle with a potato dumpling.  It was all so tasty!

The next morning, we ate breakfast at the hotel (all of our accomodations had a breakfast buffet) before heading to the castles.  Lunch consisted of a few snacks while exploring and then we stopped for dinner in Oberammergau.  We ate at the Ammergauer Maxbrau and I would highly recommend it.  The atomosphere was great and the food was excellent!

On day three, we skipped lunch and opted for a midafternoon snack at a food truck.  Bobby and Fritz served currywurst and pommes and I wish I could have brought some home to share with everyone.  It was the perfect little bite to eat while we walked around Olympic Park.  That night we ate at Wirtshaus in der Au and opted to order a smorgasbord so we could try all kinds of tasty food.  This specific platter included a knuckle of suckling pig, roast pork, duck, spicy sausages with sauerkrout, red cabbage, and potato and bread dumplings.  It was a feast!  To top it off, we ordered dessert.  Aaron ordered schokoladenbatz (homemade chocolate mousee served in an almond wafer and vanilla pears), while I orderedapfelschmarrn (Bavarian sliced pancake with apples served with mixed cranberries and vanilla sauce).  Both were so so so scrumptious!

Day four was our first day in Salzburg and we again opted to skip lunch.  While exploring the town, we came across the oldest bakery in Salzburg and ordered sweet bread.  We both immediately wished we would have ordered more than one.  Later that evening, we went to Biergarten die Weisse for dinner.  We both ordered pork wienerschnitzel and were very satisfied.  After walking back to the hotel, we decided we should order some dessert.

Day five was spent in Berchtesgaden and we grabbed a pastry to eat before our bus tour.  We got back to the hotel later, so we opted to eat at the restaurant there.  I have absolutely no idea what we ordered here, but I remember eating almost all of my meal so it must have been good!

On day six, we did our Sound of Music tour and grabbed some snacks for the road to Vienna.  After visiting Mauthausen, we ate at this farm to table restaurant called Moststube Frellerhof where hardly anyone spoke English and no English menu was available (everywhere else we had been had an English version of their menu).  We opted for our waiter's recommendation and it was a cold plate of fresh veggies, meats, and potato salad.  Not quite as filling as we wanted, so we ordered room service back at the hotel before calling it an early night.

The next day we were ready to explore Vienna.  We had a late lunch at Kurkonditorei Oberlaa and ordered veal goulash.  It was hands down the best meal we had on our trip.  They had a fabulous selection of desserts and ice cream, so we decided to try a slice of lemon pie and a dish of strawberry and vanilla ice cream.  I don't know if you've ever had ice cream in Austria, but it was better than any ice cream I have ever had here in the states.  In fact, after exploring a bit more, we decided dinner would just be ice cream :).  When in Rome Vienna right!

Our last day, we stopped at a Wurst Stand for a traditional bratwurst for lunch and then went to a restaurant called Tino's Cafe for dinner.  Since I hadn't tried veal wienrschnitzel yet, I ordered it and would have to say it was much better than the pork version.  We walked around a bit more, Aaron ordered one last dish of ice cream and we bought some macaroons before settling in at the hotel before our flight home the next day.

It was a wonderful adventure full of fabulous food!
