Cafè Glockenspiel
Cafè Restaurant Bar
If you want to see the famous Munich carillon at the new town hall then you should watch it from the roof terrace of this wonderful cafè and restaurant. An inconspicuous entrance where only small sign indicates that there is a restaurant leads from a side street of busy Marienplatz to the staircase or the elevator that brings you up to the 5th floor of the building. From there Cafè Glockenspiel offers the most amazing view on the new town hall with the carillon, in German “Glockenspiel”, which explains the name of the location.
On warm sunny days I would recommend to sit out on the terrace but also the view from the tables near the windows inside is fantastic. If you want to have a guaranteed view you should book in advance. If you are unlucky and picked one of those busy days where it is impossible to get a seat with a view, don’t be sad and go there anyway because even without view the cuisine is something you should not miss. I was actually surprised by the quality… no I was absolutely blown away because I did not expect something so delicious. My personal favorites are the ragout of duck and, oh my god, the cheesecake.
And if this is would not already be enough to make it outstanding, they serve breakfast until 4:00 p.m. So for all party animals this is the right place to go for a very late early morning coffee.
