An interesting example of a very nice restaurant which strays away from Bavarian/German food is Restaurant 1. Münchener Kartoffelhaus.

You cannot say that you've been to Munich without having gone to this restaurant.
The Viktualienmarkt is Munich's most popular market for fresh food and delicatessen.
