Overall Käfer Wiesn-Schänke Decor & Vibe
Exclusivity reigns at this cozy tent, which is beloved among celebrities and gourmet foodies. While you’ll be hard pressed to get a seat here without a reservation (certainly not in the evenings), it’s a really lovely tent where you feel like you’ve escaped the drunken debauchery of Oktoberfest and found a cozy mountain chalet instead.
Never have I felt more FOMO than while walking through this tent at lunchtime! All the tables were decked with happy locals eating giant platters of gourmet, delicious looking food, usually with a bottle of sparkling wine on ice.
Sadly, pretty much all the tables inside are reserved, so you have no hope of just sliding in… but I did end up getting a table in the beer garden, where I sampled their very affordable lunch special (relatively speaking), which included a soup, duck with potato dumplings and apple compote, and a cup of coffee (which I never got TBH because I was too awkward to ask) for only 24.50.
