OUR GRAND OKTOBERFEST MENU
Bring your appetite, because our Oktoberfest menu is a hearty homage to Alpine delights. Our Cook Haus menu pulls out all the stops, crafting a feast designed for sharing and savouring.
Expect generous portions of comforting Bavarian classics – from crispy pork knuckle and juicy schnitzels to plump bratwursts and tangy sauerkraut. Every dish is prepared in-haus and to complement your feast, our breads and pretzels are baked fresh daily, ready to soak up every drop of flavour.
Of course, no Oktoberfest would be complete without das biers. We’re proudly serving all of the Munich Big 6 biers this Oktoberfest – that’s Spaten, Paulaner, Löwenbräu, Hacker-Pschorr, and Hofbräu. We’re one of the very few bars in the world where you can tour das taps and sample every single one of these Bavarian brews, delivered straight to our tanks.
We’ll be pouring mighty pints of Europe’s finest until the taps run dry! Our bars will also be stirring up Oktoberfest cocktails and offering our usual array of tipples to keep the festive spirit flowing.
