Oktoberfest 2025 Prices Revealed: A Breakdown of Food and Drink Costs
After much anticipation, the menus for the large tents at this year's Oktoberfest in Munich have been published. Here's a rundown of the prices for some popular dishes and drinks, providing you with a guide to plan your festival feast.
Fries For those seeking a classic side dish, fries are available at various tents. At the Armbrustschützenzelt, Löwenbräu, and Schottenhamel, fries cost 9.90, 9.70, and 9.50 euros, respectively. However, more affordable options can be found at the Oidn Wiesn, where the Boandlkramerei offers fries for 6 euros and the Festzelt Tradition for 6.50 euros.
Kaiserschmarrn A popular dessert at Oktoberfest, Kaiserschmarrn, can be found at several tents. The Ammer tent offers it for as low as 15 euros, while the Boandlkramerei charges 19.90 euros. The most expensive Kaiserschmarrn can be found at the Bräurosl tent, priced at 19.80 euros.
Meat Dishes Poultry prices have seen an increase this year. The Festzelt Tradition charges 16.90 euros for a chicken dish, with most large tents pricing around 18 euros. The Ammer tent offers the most expensive chicken option at 29.90 euros. For those seeking pork, the Hacker tent offers the cheapest pork knuckle at 22.50 euros. The highest price for a pork roast remains at the Löwenbräu tent, costing 27.80 euros.
Speciality Dishes If you're looking to splurge, the Kafer offers a Wagyu-Tomahawk steak for 410 euros, and a tin of caviar for 855 euros or half a kilogram for 1775 euros. For a more traditional Bavarian experience, the Augustiner festival hall offers a half duck with sides for 33.90 euros.
Children's Options Affordable options are available for children at Oktoberfest. The Armbrustschützenzelt offers a children's plate for five euros.
Taxes and Future Considerations The spokesperson for the innkeepers, Christian Schottenhamel, expressed hope that next year they might be able to keep prices stable if they only have 7 instead of 19 percent VAT. This potential reduction could lead to more affordable prices for festival-goers in 2026.
While some find these prices for poultry at Oktoberfest to be excessive, others pay without much fuss. It's essential to plan ahead and budget for your Oktoberfest experience to ensure you enjoy the festivities without any financial surprises.
