How MunichVibes chooses its recommendations
How MunichVibes chooses its recommendations: one kind of place at a time, a good name built slowly and what each business shows of its own work.
One kind of place at a time
A café known above all for its strudel belongs on a strudel list ahead of a Wirtshaus that serves one among many desserts, and an antiques dealer is compared with other dealers rather than with general second-hand shops.
A good name, built slowly
Munich residents are rarely shy with their opinions, and many of them are public. We look at the reputation a business has built in that open record over time and weigh its rating against the depth of its history. A practice in Pasing or Giesing with years of steady praise can stand ahead of a newer name near Marienplatz that enjoyed a single busy summer.
What it shows of itself
We also take into account how a business presents its work on its own website and social profiles: what it offers, its methods and its location.
Independent and revised
Our order is editorial and based on merit, and we return to it regularly. Readers can report errors on our contact page. Nobody pays to be included or to have the criteria adjusted. Some businesses that qualified on merit also pay for a more detailed entry or a highlighted position, and it carries a clear label.
