The square, Elisabeth Platz, is named for Sissi , the beloved Bavarian Duchess who became Empress of Austria (and Queen of Hungary), and is located near the student area of Munich, Schwabing. It is not at all unusual in the good weather to see workers from nearby offices and also students taking a mid-day break in peasant surroundings. The establishment is sometimes referred to as a Biergarten, and indeed it does have the benches and tables under spreading trees, and the famous one liter Mass typical of Biergärten, but technically it is not a Biergarten because you cannot bring your own food to eat. No problem, since the Wintergarten has a varied menu and the usual items one would expect in a Bavarian restaurant. The waitress was pleasant and helpful, and the setting relaxing. A good place to while away an hour or two.
