What does a local breakfast look like in Munich?

A proper Munich breakfast runs longer than you'd expect and anchors itself around fresh bread. Head to a bakery — Rischart on Marienplatz is reliable and open early — grab a couple of Semmeln (crusty white rolls), spread them with butter and Leberwurst or a soft cheese like Obatzda, and pair them with a strong Milchkaffee. On weekends, Weißwurst breakfast is the real tradition: two pale veal sausages served in hot water before noon, eaten by peeling back the skin with your fingers or a fork, with sweet Senf (mustard) and a fresh pretzel on the side. A Mass of Weißbier alongside is not unusual, even at 9 a.m. — this is considered perfectly acceptable. The Viktualienmarkt is a good place to do this outdoors with decent people-watching. Expect to spend around 8 to 12 euros for the full version. Locals treat it as an event, not a transaction.
