As the name promises, the restaurant Tante Ju's is designed in an original workshop ambience and offers plenty of eye-catchers - and not just for aviation fans. It is perfect for an outing with the whole family, as the spacious sun terrace is directly adjacent to the large adventure playground and the visitors' hill. There is also something for everyone on the culinary front: from the popular children's schnitzel with chips or chicken nuggets to nutrition-conscious cuisine with sophisticated salad creations. In the afternoon, coffee and cake tempt the day trippers.

Sun terrace of Sportalm
The Sportalm is a paradise for nature lovers and deckchair chillers. It impresses on two levels. While a real gondola provides alpine flair in the indoor restaurant, the sun terrace on the upper floor on level 04 spoils you with a cozy alpine atmosphere and a great view of the Munich Airport Center forum. Sun on your nose, a fresh salad in front of your eyes - what more could a mountaineer's heart desire?

Cloud 7
The view? Fantastic! Enjoy the perfect view of the apron, the satellite building and the runways.

For an even more intense culinary experience, the restaurant Cloud 7 is recommended, which sets accents with healthy cuisine. This restaurant offers a full range of foods from breakfast and lunch to an after-work menu. Along with traditional favorites, Cloud 7 features many dishes with superfood ingredients. Naturally, this includes items with chia seeds and red berries, as well as a variety of smoothies. Dessert favourites include the homemade crêpes – sweet or savory – as well as artisanal ice cream by Eisbayer.
