“Augustiner”

December 23rd, dinnertime

By the time my family arrives at the Hotel, I have already wandered around the area surrounding the hotel and have found an “Asia Super Markt” and quite a few “Erotik Dance Halls.” Interesting. I also located a row of Christmas markets and an Ice skating rink!

We walk around and try to find the most German restaurant we can, even though I explained the amount of Bratwurst I had consumed during the last few days on my expedition to find an apartment.

We decide to go into a place called “Augustiner” – Best choice ever! I highly recommend this restaurant! The waiters and waitresses looked like they were dressed in outfits made in “The Sound of Music” and there were Christmas lights and decorations everywhere!

History of Augustiner: Since 1328 on Augustiner beer had been brewed within the monastery of the Augustinian Brotherhood near the cathedral of Munich. After nearly 500 years of tradition, the secularization in 1803 and the following privatisation led to a privately owned company: Augustiner Bräu.


I ordered the goulasch and my brother ordered this gigantic “meat platter,” which contained duck, rabbit, beef, and venison. Goulasch is my new favorite meal!! I can’t believe what I have been missing out on all this time! It is a bowlful of tender meat, either prok, beef or venison, slowroasted with the most delectable vegetables and tasty sauce! I have decided that I will now measure a restaurant on its Goulasch…Augustiner gets an A+.
