The story
The Marie-Therese Gasthaus in Munich introduces a refined approach to Bavarian cuisine within a protected corner building on Pettenkoferstraße. Opened in 2024 by wirtes Niklas Hacker, Wolfgang Hingerl, and Philipp Schlick, the venue sits just steps from the Theresienwiese fairgrounds. Their kitchen team draws heavily from regional produce and seasonal shifts to shape every plate. This steady commitment to craft recently earned the restaurant one and a half spoons from the Schlemmer Atlas.
The culinary program centers on a modern Bavarian kitchen that respects traditional techniques while applying a lighter contemporary touch. Chefs prepare handcrafted meals ranging from casual breadtime bites to structured three-course dinners. A weekday lunch menu rotates daily between 12 and 3 o'clock, offering focused recommendations that change with market availability. The cellar stocks more than one hundred wine positions, allowing staff to guide guests toward precise pairings for each Alpine preparation.
Dining rooms split into two distinct zones that accommodate different group sizes and occasions. Patrons gather inside the classic Gaststube where wooden fixtures and warm lighting create a grounded atmosphere. Outside, a broad terrace provides clear sightlines toward the famous festival grounds, making it a practical spot for afternoon sun or evening drinks. The service extends throughout the day with freshly baked cakes and local schnapps available alongside main courses.
