This review shared by Ann. We had a busy day so we made a reservation online only one hour before showing up for dinner on a Tuesday night at 7:30. We were directed to the upstairs dining room where we were asked to seat ourselves. When the waitress came back with our drinks, she took a look at our son’s chef card and asked him what he was interested in. They settled on steak, boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables with a draft beer. Dinner was pleasantly smooth. I noticed they listed multiple locations on the menu and she told me they would all be able to handle food allergy requests from patrons. 4/1/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here. This information shared by Ann. We received the following e-mail response from Zum Spockmeier when we inquired about their ability to serve our son with food alleriges.

This review shared by Ann. This place worked out well. The waitress did not speak much English, but she seemed to fully understand my son’s food allergies when she read his chef card that was written in German. She recommended a fish plate that he claimed was absolutely delicious (#32 on the menu). The fish was served with boiled potatoes and a large green salad with tomato and sprouts. The waitress knew enough not to put dressing on the salad and offered him oil and vinegar at the table. The ingredients were in English so he was able to decide for himself that they were safe. He also commented that the Lowenbrau was superb. Zum Franziskaner is near the Munich Residenz and not far from the Glockenspiel in Marienplatz. 3/31/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut, and tree nuts was NOT here yet.

This review shared by Ann. Our waitress spoke almost no English. When she read my son’s German chef card, she quickly pointed to a steak dish that he could have. He enjoyed a salad with oil and vinegar with the steak and boiled potato. 5/2/10 Patron allergic to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts. This review shared by Ann. The Augustiner, located in Marienplatz, was a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. The restaurant is very large and was impressively busy for a Sunday evening at 8 p.m. Upon reading my son’s chef card (written in German), the waiter recommended steak, white asparagus, and boiled potatoes. The meal was relaxingly uneventful, and my son even had a chance to enjoy the local draft wheat beer (sorry gluten people). 4/6/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here yet. This information shared by Ann. This e-mail was in response to our inquiry to see if the restaurant could cook for our son.

After our flight was canceled due to volcanic ash over the region, we made a 10 p.m. reservation to eat here. It was a Sunday night, yet was still busy. Our wait person, whom I suspect was also the manager, came right over to our table with a basket of bread and immediately stated that it did not contain any milk, egg, or nuts. In good English he explained that it was prepared with flour, water, oil, etc. I smiled when I realized he must have read the note about the food allergies that accompanied our online reservation. This was a treat for my son since most restaurant bread is not safe for him. After receiving our drink order, my son handed his German chef card to our server. They had a friendly discussion regarding my son’s food wishes for the evening and settled on the daily special of Halibut with asparagus. They do not currently have any pasta available that is free of milk and egg. Although my son did not order an appetizer, he was served a delightful bed of spinach with scallops. He was thrilled that the chef had taken the initiative to prepare a safe appetizer for him so that he could start his meal with everyone at the table. He said it was delicious. My son said that the main meal was very good but wished it was a bit more spicy. He had attempted to tell our server that most spices were safe for him, but I think it was lost in the language translation. It’s partially my fault since I requested my meal not be spicy. The chef also prepared unexpected potato wedges that were a welcome change to the boiled potatoes that my son had been served in most other restaurants during our stay in Munich. 4/18/10 Our son with food allergies to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here. This information shared by Ann. This is an e-mail response to our inquiry to see if our son could eat at this restaurant. "of course we go up to your needs for your son food allergy and would to your visit to us in this House very pleased. Because we are a non-smoking restaurant there should be no further problems for your wife.

This review shared by Ann. This was an extremely fun evening for our first night in Munich. When we first arrived, the Maitre d’ sent us to the casual dining room in the lower level of the building. Once we were seated, the new Maitre d’ brought my husband and son mugs of beer while we waited for our server. When the waiter read the chef card that was written in German, he took it to the kitchen to discuss the food allergies with the chef. Within a few minutes, the Maitre d’, who spoke very good English, came to our table and told us that he was going to move us to the upstairs dining room where the chef was better able to handle the food allergies. He called ahead to let the staff upstairs know that we were headed there and described the food allergies. From there on, our dining experience was wonderful. Our waiter spoke very good English and mentioned that he had a family member with flour allergy and milk intolerance. He asked my son if he liked steak, broccoli, and potato, then brought the chef card into the kitchen to discuss the situation with the chef. He returned with confidence that the meal could be served safely for our son. It was a great feeling to know that our son was enjoying a delicious hearty dinner. We enjoyed the live horn band while we dined. The large dining hall rocked with liveliness as the patrons joined in with lyrics to some of the songs. We were seated at a long dining table that probably seated two dozen patrons. This provided us an opportunity to mingle with some very friendly Germans who happened to be in Munich on Holiday. 4/18/10 Our son who is allergic to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts was NOT here yet. This information shared by Ann. This e-mail was in response to our inquiry to see if the restaurant would be able to cook for our son with food allergies. "thank you for considering the Augustiner Keller while visiting Munich! If you tell us as soon as you arrive we will make sure that none of the Things your son is allergic to will be in the food we serve you. Regarding Smoking, we are a 100% non smoking Restaurant!

This review shared by Ann. After our flight back to the U.S. was cancelled due to volcanic ash, we headed back to the Marriot Courtyard in Munich City Center. The first night we stayed in room 702. There was a problem with the internet connection in the room, so the ibahn service department sent a repair person over to the hotel. He tested the jack for five minutes then told us everything was working fine. Neither of our laptops would work with the service, so the hotel quickly offered to move us to another room. Room 515 was almost identical to 702, except it was on the front of the building, so was noisier with the window open. The internet service worked fine in 515. 5/1/10 Patron allergic to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts. This review shared by Ann. Rooms 702 and 703 worked out fine. Each was clean and comfortable and had a small refrigerator. The inside of the refrigerator looked clean, but we wiped it out with individually wrapped CVS wipes for extra insurance and piece of mind. (No guarantee that CVS wipes will remove nut residue, but I thought it might be difficult to transport Lysol wipes in case of leakage.) Microwaves were not available for the room and the hotel policy did not allow patrons to bring them in. I called the hotel a few days before we left home so the restaurant microwave in the hotel was available to us 24 hours per day because of the food allergies. I used it once at 11:00 p.m. when the restaurant was technically closed. The restaurant employee was very nice and suggested I handle the food in and out of the microwave while she operated the controls. The inside of the unit looked clean and my son was happy to have a hot snack at the end of a long day. I loosely wrapped the microwaveable container in wax paper which I brought from home to create an extra disposable layer between the food and any possible cross-contamination. I used the microwave again a couple of times on the last day of our stay in Munich. It was lunchtime so the restaurant and the kitchen were very busy. When I asked the hostess to help me microwave something, she told me I was not allowed in the kitchen because of restaurant policy. When I then explained the food allergies and asked her to please wash her hands, she went over and talked to the chef. Within minutes, she was waving me to carry the food into the kitchen. She pleasantly worked the controls on the microwave while I handled the food. The hotel has a mini market next to the front desk where guests could purchase small snack items such as muffins, nuts, chips, drinks, yogurt and coffee. A couple of items that my son was able to eat included: Lorenz Saltletts Brezel: wheat flour, vegetable fat, salt, sea salt, yeast, acidity regulator, sodium hydroxide, malt extract, raising agent, sodium hydrogencarbonate.

We stopped in for lunch on our way to the Glyptothek. The waiter did not speak much English and was a bit confused when he read the German chef card. Much to my delight he got the manager involved. The manager took the chef card and the order downstairs to speak to the chef, and returned in a few minutes to tell us that the meal would be up from the kitchen in a few minutes. My son enjoyed the roast duck and boiled potatoes, but the waiter forgot to bring him his cabbage. He decided he wasn’t in the mood for cabbage, so let it go.
