Lucky you - I've been to 8 Oktoberfests, but sadly, won't make this one...

1.) Classic - I like Spatenbräu right across from the Opera, Weisses Bräuhaus an der Tal is also very good & authentic. Nuremburger Bratwurstl am Dom in good, but limited menu & very crowded. The Rathaus is ok & fun to check out, but I don't think the food all that great.

2.) Can't give you Asian, but our favorite for seafood is the Austernkeller - unbelievable lobster thermidor & fun restaurant with great service.

Whatever you do, don't miss a morning at the Viktualienmarkt - have a weisswurst & beer for breakfast (I know, sounds gross, but it's really quite good) & watch the world go by - love this place!

Dallmayr's is also great for browsing & has a stand-up oyster & champagne bar - quite a posh way to snack in the afternoon!

Have fun & have a roasted chicken, radish & beer for me! Ooooh, and those warm candied almonds - yummm!
