Last night Zach and I headed into the Englischer Garten to once again eat some great seafood at the Seehaus. This time, we switched meals, him getting the Heilbutt and me the Skreifillet. Again, both were delicious, which wasn't a big surprise.
Tonight we tried out a new place called Spatenhaus an der Oper (Spatenhaus at the Opera), which is on the western side of Max-Joseph-Platz on the opposite side from the Bayerisches Nationaltheater (Bavarian State Theater or National Theater). This is the first time we'd been to Max-Joseph-Platz even though it's right between Marienplatz and Odeonplatz, and it was actually really pretty. The square was designed in the 1820s to the south of the Residenz. In the center stands a statue of Maximilian I Joseph, the first king of Bavaria, who wrote the Bavarian constitution in 1818, the first of its kind in Germany. The National Theater is modeled after a Greek theater, which is evident in the columns lining the entrance-way. I tried to get a good picture of the National Theater, but I only had my phone. I'll have to get a better one with my DSLR later.

Anyway, the restaurant. We went here specifically because we're trying to go to all of the different brewer's restaurants, and we hadn't yet been to Spaten. The food was pretty good, we both had a Bavarian sausage plate, which had sausages similar to the ones we got on the sausage plate at the Ratskeller before, and a Spaten Dunkel. We were both starving and the food really hit the spot. The restaurant itself was really cool inside. It had some wooden floors and ceilings, white walls, and lightly-stained wooden tables and chairs. It felt like we were really in Bavaria, which is good because we were. The ceiling in part of the restaurant also had a pretty mural painted on the ceiling. I got a couple pictures but not of the whole thing because I feel awkward taking pictures over people's heads while they're eating. Good place to eat though; we'll have to go back.
