This is the undisputed temple of fried dough in Munich. The 'Auszogne' here are fried continuously throughout the day, meaning you almost always receive one that is still piping hot and perfectly elastic. The interior is a time capsule of rustic wood and the intoxicating scent of lard and sugar.

While tourists flock to the city center, locals head to Widmann for what many consider the highest quality pastry work in the city. Their Auszogne are prized for their massive size and the perfect contrast between the paper-thin, crispy center and the thick, cloud-like outer ring.
Located in the heart of the Viktualienmarkt, this stand offers a no-frills, high-speed immersion into Munich market culture. It is famous for having some of the most affordable coffee and pastries in the city center without sacrificing the 'fresh-from-the-fryer' quality.

Neulinger is the gold standard for organic baking in Munich. Their Auszogne use 100% Bioland-certified ingredients and zero additives. The result is a pastry that feels slightly more substantial and 'honest' than the airier commercial versions.
