Best Restaurants Open Sunday in Munich 2026

Why a Sunday list matters in Munich

Munich's Michelin map is a weekday map. The marquee rooms, Tantris in Schwabing, Jan Hartwig's JAN, the Atelier inside the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, EssZimmer in the BMW Welt, all close Sunday and most close Monday too. A diner who lands on a Sunday expecting a tasting menu will find the dining room locked and the team off. That is the single most useful thing to know about eating well here on a Sunday night.

What stays open is older and louder: the Wirtshaeuser and beer halls that never close, plus the rare hotel restaurant that runs a seven-day week. The list below leads with the one fine-dining room open on a Sunday, the Japanese-Peruvian counter at the Mandarin Oriental, then the Maximilianstrasse grill, and closes with the three great Augustiner and Hofbraeu halls where a Sunday roast pork and a litre of helles is the real local move. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's own published schedule in June 2026. For the rest of the week, start with the Munich dining guide.

The Sunday list

Matsuhisa Munich

Japanese-Peruvian · Altstadt, Munich · €90–180 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, lunch 12:00–14:00 & dinner 18:30–22:30

Nobu Matsuhisa's Munich room sits inside the Mandarin Oriental at Neuturmstrasse 1 in the Altstadt, and it is the only serious fine-dining option open on a Sunday in the city. The black cod miso, the yellowtail with jalapeno and the new-style sashimi are the order, and a full dinner runs €90 to €180 a head before sake. It keeps a seven-day week, lunch from noon and dinner from half-six, which makes it the booking to hold when every star in town is closed. Ask for the counter to watch the kitchen, or a corner table on the terrace in summer.

Brenner Grill

Grill & steak · Maximilianstrasse, Munich · €55–110 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, kitchen to 21:00 (bar to 01:00)

Brenner runs out of a former royal stable on Maximilianstrasse 15, a long vaulted hall with an open charcoal grill down the centre. The dry-aged steaks, the grilled fish and the pasta from the show kitchen are the order, with a Sunday meal landing €55 to €110 a head. The room opens late morning and the bar runs to one, but the kitchen takes its last food order around half-eight on Sunday, so book dinner early. It is the most design-forward Sunday seat in town and the easiest upscale table to fill for a group.

Augustiner-Keller

Bavarian beer hall · Arnulfstrasse, Munich · €25–45 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 10:00–01:00 (kitchen to 23:00)

The Augustiner-Keller on Arnulfstrasse 52 has poured since 1812 and keeps Munich's most loved beer garden under century-old chestnuts. The Schweinshaxe, the Obatzda and the Augustiner Edelstoff straight from the wooden barrel are the order, and a full Sunday lunch runs €25 to €45 a head. It opens Sunday from ten in the morning to one at night, kitchen to eleven, so a long Sunday afternoon under the trees is the move. Book the hall in winter; the garden is first-come in summer.

Hofbraeuhaus

Bavarian beer hall · Platzl, Munich · €20–40 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 11:00–23:45 (kitchen to 22:00)

The Hofbraeuhaus on Platzl 9 is the beer hall every visitor knows, a vast vaulted room with a brass band and a thousand seats, open 365 days a year. It is not where Munich's serious eaters go, but on a Sunday when the stars are dark it does the job: roast pork, Weisswurst before noon, pretzels the size of a plate, and a Mass of Hofbraeu, all for €20 to €40 a head. Open eleven to a quarter to midnight, kitchen to ten. Come for the room and the ritual rather than the cooking, and skip the worst of the crowd before one.

Augustiner Stammhaus

Bavarian · Neuhauser Strasse, Munich · €20–40 per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 11:00–22:00

The Augustiner Stammhaus at Neuhauser Strasse 27, on the pedestrian spine between Karlsplatz and Marienplatz, is the brewery's original tavern and a quieter, more local alternative to the Hofbraeuhaus a few streets away. The roast pork, the Tellerfleisch and the unfiltered Augustiner are the order, with a meal at €20 to €40 a head. It opens Sunday from eleven to ten, with the muralled Muellerbraeu room at the back the one to ask for. It is the value Sunday pick and the easiest central table to walk into without a wait.

How to book a Sunday table in Munich

The first rule of a Munich Sunday is to forget the Michelin guide: the stars are closed, so book the one room that is not. Matsuhisa Munich takes reservations through the Mandarin Oriental and is the table to lock first, ideally a few days out for a Sunday dinner. Brenner Grill books easily for groups but runs an early Sunday kitchen, so reserve for seven rather than nine. The Augustiner-Keller, Hofbraeuhaus and Augustiner Stammhaus all take walk-ins; for the beer halls, arrive before one for Sunday lunch or after four to skip the tour crowds, and reserve the indoor hall in winter. For a solo Sunday, the Matsuhisa counter and a Stammtisch corner at the Augustiner-Keller are the easiest seats and a fine solo-dining move.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Sunday in Munich?

Effectively one. Matsuhisa Munich in the Mandarin Oriental runs a seven-day week, while the city's tasting-menu rooms, Tantris, JAN, the Atelier at the Bayerischer Hof and EssZimmer, all keep a Sunday-Monday closure to rest their teams. A visitor expecting to book a star on a Sunday will be turned away by every one except Matsuhisa. For the rest, the Wirtshaeuser on this list are the Sunday answer. See the Munich dining guide for the full week.

Is Matsuhisa Munich open on Sunday?

Yes. Matsuhisa Munich opens Sunday for lunch from noon to two and dinner from half-six to half-ten at Neuturmstrasse 1 in the Altstadt. The black cod miso and new-style sashimi run €90 to €180 a head before drinks. It is the only fine-dining room in the city that keeps a seven-day week, which makes it the Sunday booking to hold; reserve through the Mandarin Oriental a few days ahead.

Where can I get a traditional Bavarian Sunday lunch in Munich?

The Augustiner-Keller on Arnulfstrasse is the best of them, a 1812 beer garden under chestnut trees serving Schweinshaxe and barrel-poured Edelstoff from ten in the morning. For something more central, the Augustiner Stammhaus on Neuhauser Strasse and the Hofbraeuhaus on Platzl both open before noon. All three take walk-ins, so arrive before one for the prime Sunday-lunch slot.

What is the best-value restaurant open Sunday in Munich?

The Augustiner Stammhaus on Neuhauser Strasse and the Hofbraeuhaus on Platzl both land a full Bavarian Sunday lunch at €20 to €40 a head, a fraction of the grills and hotel rooms. The Stammhaus is the quieter, more local of the two and the easier central table to walk into. Both pour the brewery's own beer and neither requires a booking for two.

What time do restaurants serve Sunday dinner in Munich?

Earlier than you would expect. Most Munich kitchens, even the beer halls, take their last Sunday food order between nine and ten, and Brenner Grill stops around half-eight. Matsuhisa runs latest of this group, with dinner service to half-ten. Munich is not a late-night dining city on a Sunday, so book the main meal for seven or eight rather than nine.
