Munich – Traditional Bavarian food is, for many visitors, just as essential as the iconic Maß of beer. Whether it’s half a roast chicken, a crispy pork knuckle, or a plate of cheese spätzle, the classics are a must. But bargain hunters will be disappointed. With a half knuckle priced at €27.80 and a luxury steak costing up to €229, dining in a beer tent feels more like fine dining.
Roast chicken and knuckle between €17 and €27
In 2025, the price for half a roast chicken varies by tent, ranging from €17.20 to €24.90. The Augustiner-Festhalle offers the cheapest option at €17.20, closely followed by Bräurosl at €17.50. At the Boandlkramerei, a half chicken costs €18.50, while the Paulaner tent stands out with an organic option at €24.50—almost €8 more than Augustiner.
Vegetarians and vegans are also well catered for. Every tent offers meat-free and plant-based dishes. Bräurosl and Boandlkramerei feature the broadest selection, including options like vegetable schnitzel and baked pumpkin. The Ochsenbraterei is again offering vegan versions of its specialties.
A luxury steak over €200
Back in 2024, Bräurosl already made headlines with a steak in the triple-digit price range. With onion roast beef at €42.50 and ribeye steak at €44.50, high prices are now standard. But the true standout is the Tomahawk steak, priced at €179—or €229 for the “truffle edition.” However, this dish is intended for sharing.
Not all tents have published their menus yet, but one thing is already certain: food prices are climbing once again. By September 20, everything will be set in stone—when the famous call rings out: “O’zapft is!”
