Where to find the best roast pork - that's a long and heated debate in Munich. So let's not start with that, but rather sing the praises of Gasthaus Rumpler in Glockenbach. It always tastes really good there. And not just the roast pork.

The Rumpler, an Augustiner restaurant on Baumstraße in the Glockenbach district, has been around for more than 20 years now. Some people may have actually enjoyed their first roast pork here. Of course, other classic delicacies such as Tiroler Gröstl or Tafelspitz are also on the menu - after all, we're talking about a solid pub. Add to that a 0.5 l Augustiner Helles on tap and you're in for a perfect lunch break or dinner. But that's not the only reason why you simply have to love the Rumpler.

Six years ago, the tenant Karen Nessenius and her husband took over the restaurant and since then a breath of fresh air has been blowing through the menu. Vegetariansand vegansin particular benefit from this. Normally, most Bavarian inns offer either cheese spaetzle or a side salad as an alternative to the meat-based dishes. But the Rumpler can do better: the daily menu always includes a nice selection of animal-free dishes, such as vegetarian Gröstl, rocket dumplings, various vegetable casseroles and soups. The tenant is also committed to using only the best ingredients. The chefs use regional products, some of which are organic, which they buy at the market on Mariahilfplatz. And you can also eat the meat with a clear conscience: The so-called "straw pig" lives, as the name suggests, on straw (instead of on concrete slatted floors), has an outdoor run and is fed species-appropriate feed that has not been genetically modified. The good quality and species-appropriate husbandry are of course also reflected in the price - but in our eyes it's a fair deal.

The Rumpler also sees itself as a neighborhood meeting place, a good place to play cards or for private parties. However, the restaurant only accepts reservations for 4 or more people and only cash payment is possible. Somewhere, the Rumpler still retains a few traditions.

And as we're writing this article, we're already getting really hungry for some hearty Bavarian cuisine. So it's time to grab a table outside, watch the hustle and bustle on Baumstraße and think about where else to go in the Glockenbachviertel afterwards.
