The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, arguably the most famous beer hall worldwide, is located in the city center. It also operates the second largest tent at the Oktoberfest, one of Munich's most famous attractions. For two weeks, the Oktoberfest, or d' Wiesn as the locals call it, attracts millions of people visiting its beer tents ("Bierzelte") and fairground attractions. The Oktoberfest was first held on October 12, 1810 in honor of the marriage of crown prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities were closed with a horse race and in the following years the horse races were continued and later developed into what is now known as the Oktoberfest. Despite its name, most of Oktoberfest occurs in September. It always finishes on the first Sunday in October unless the German national holiday on 3 October ("Tag der deutschen Einheit" - Day of German Unity) is a Monday or Tuesday - then the Oktoberfest remains open for these days.

Weißwürste with sweet mustard and Breze (bretzel).
Weißwürste with sweet mustard and Breze (bretzel).
The Weißwürste ('white sausages'), traditionally eaten only before 12 p.m. (when there were no refrigerators they used to be best until that time), often served with sweet mustard and freshly baked Brezen (pretzels) are a Munich speciality, as is Leberkäs, Bavarian baked sausage loaf often served with potato salad.
The most famous soup might be the Leberknödel Soup. Leberknödel is a bread dumpling seasoned with liver and onions.
