The restaurant of the legendary Feinkost Käfer delicatessen empire in Bogenhausen, Munich. Käfer Schänke is famous for its exceptional seasonal Bavarian and international cuisine in a cosy alpine-style interior. Also operates one of the most popular Oktoberfest tents (Käfer-Wiesn-Schänke) during the festival.
Käfer Schänke is the restaurant arm of the Feinkost Käfer delicatessen empire, located in Munich's upscale Bogenhausen district, and has built a long-standing reputation for exceptional seasonal Bavarian and international cooking drawn from the same high-quality larder that supplies the attached gourmet food hall. Dishes lean on premium regional ingredients — game in season, fresh fish, and classic Bavarian preparations refined with a more continental touch than a typical Wirtshaus. The dining rooms have a cosy, alpine-lodge character, warm wood finishes and an intimate scale that suits both a business lunch and a special dinner, quieter and more refined than Munich's beer-hall scene. Käfer is equally well known for running one of the most sought-after Oktoberfest tents, the Käfer-Wiesn-Schänke, which draws a well-heeled crowd during the festival and requires a premium reservation. Dress at the main restaurant is smart-casual to smart. Reservations are recommended year-round given the restaurant's popularity, and essential for the Oktoberfest tent, which typically needs to be arranged well ahead of the festival.
