Haxnbauer, German restaurant in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
Haxnbauer is a tavern in Munich's old town with two dining areas: a main room seating 250 guests and a smaller section for 40 people. Both spaces feature traditional painted ceilings and oak flooring that give the place its classic character.
The restaurant started as a simple pork knuckle eatery before Roland Kuffler acquired it from Franz Bauer in 1980. He expanded it into a full Munich tavern with the expanded layout and traditional character it has today.
The Liesl-Stubn room is named after a waitress who inspired a famous painting displayed in the restaurant. This connection between a person and the artwork creates a link to Munich's local stories that guests encounter while dining.
The tavern sits between Isartor and Marienplatz on Tal Street, making it easy to reach from both landmarks. Note that it serves meals until late evening on weekdays and has extended hours during weekends.
The pork knuckles are marinated for 24 hours in a special blend before being cooked over beechwood charcoal. This process creates a distinctive texture throughout each portion that regular diners appreciate.
