Last night Zach and I tried a restaurant that we found near the top of the list on Trip Advisor, Opatija. This restaurant served Mediterranean and Bavarian food. We were looking for something a little lighter after having several heavy meals in a row the past few days, so we both got fish dishes. Mine was a mixture of a couple types of fillets, some octopus, squid, and king prawn. All-in-all it was good, but not great. Oh well.
Tonight, however, we headed over to Augustiner-Bräu (pronounced Augustiner-Broy), the oldest brewery in München. It was founded in 1328 by Augustinian monks and has a fantastic-looking interior that is a rare example of the architecture, design, and atmosphere of Munich restaurants before World War I, according to my informative guide book. I didn't get a great picture of it because I was lazy and didn't feel like standing up, so I'll have to get a better one the next time I go back. You can see some of the aesthetics though, and the atmosphere was pretty great!

My meal was pretty great too. I had a pretzel with a Dunkel to start, of course, and then ordered roasted wild boar with juniper sauce, creamed mushrooms, homemade bread dumplings, and cranberries. The boar and mushrooms were very tasty. The bread dumplings could have been better, but I don't really know how since I've never tried them before, and the cranberries were, well, cranberry delicious too. Overall, it's a cool place with some good food that I would definitely go back to.
