Since I’ve had Tala, finding a baby- and family-friendly brunch spot to indulge my love of brunch has become more important than ever. Now before entering a restaurant, I run through a quick mental checklist: space for the stroller, peace and quiet, a spot to breastfeed discreetly, and families with babies or young kids are always good indicators.
We’re lucky that at five months, Tala doesn’t need space to play yet, and is still too small for a high chair. But families with older kids need more. So I’m glad that this month’s guest blogger Bronwyn Darnoc chose a family-friendly restaurant perfect for Sunday brunch. And it’s in Munich, Germany!
Bronwyn is the creator of the Simply for Flying flight logbook, which you might remember from Tala’s first flight and my first giveaway. An Aussie living in Munich and a traveling mama with two little ones, Bronwyn recently relaunched Simply for Travel, her blog about kids and travel. This month, she brings us to her favorite kid-friendly brunch spot in Munich.

When I first moved to Munich nearly three years ago and asked everyone for the best coffee location in town, there was an overall unanimous response for Bar Centrale. Being a bit of a coffee snob, I was desperate to taste a good coffee without long-life milk! I can definitely vouch for this location, as the moment you step in you feel like you are in a typical Italian coffee bar, which you would find in places like Rome or Milan.
It didn’t take long to realise that the owners of Bar Centrale own a whole group of fantastic venues throughout Munich, like the Cortina & Louis Hotel. But it’s the Brenner Grill that deserves a big nod for its kid-friendly Sunday brunch!

The Brenner Grill is situated just off one the most famous shopping streets in Munich known as Maximilianstrasse. Here you will find designer fashion labels, five-star hotels and streets filled with luxury vehicles.
One of the owners himself experienced the lack of kid-friendly venues around Munich and made this a priority for the Brenner Grill. The size of the venue allows for families to enjoy the rear part of the restaurant, allowing other patrons to feel at ease. I love the fact that the wait staff can cope with little visitors dragging toy vacuum cleaners around the spaces, while balancing plates and drinks always with a smile on their faces.

If you are interested in brunch at the Brenner Grill, don’t forget to book otherwise you may miss out on a table. Ask for a table closest to the play area!
