The German Restaurant In Massachusetts Where You’ll Find All Sorts Of Authentic Eats

There are times when you're hungry and just about anything will do. That's when you head for tried-and-true pizza or something from the fridge. But then there are times when you need something truly comforting. That's when you look to perfectly prepared home-cooked meals in cozy environments. And the best is when someone else is preparing it. We love this German restaurant because it offers all the comforts of home, without having to cook. Plus, there might not be another place with food this good without having to use your passport.

Welcome to Munich Haus Restaurant in Chicopee, where the food is delicious and the vibe is homey.

The homey interior and great food is the product of the Gottschlicht family's Bavarian heritage. Hubert Gottschlicht was born in Bavaria and made his way to Massachusetts in 1981. After learning about American kitchens, he and his son Patrick opened Munich Haus in 2004.

And they've been warming the hearts of hungry folks ever since!

You'll find some of the staples that you expect to find, including homemade pretzels big enough to fill a plate.

But, most importantly it means impressively large and authentic German meals including things like schnitzel and all the sides.

Homemade gravies and sauces make things even tastier.

And, no visit is complete without sampling their sausages. And there are a few different options on the menu.

And before you're done, make sure you've saved room for a large, traditional beer!

Enjoying a meal here means great food, but it also means access to the fun beirgarten which is great in warmer weather.

Munich Haus Restaurant is great for celebrations, but also for simple meals shared with friends and family.

Munich Haus is typically open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight and Sunday and Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.  You can learn more about them through their website, or by following them on Facebook.They can be reached at 413-594-8788.
