Our plan is to tour the parade grounds in the morning, find a place to eat, then take public transport into the Altstadt for the Christmas market. Thanks for any recommendations!
Google for Gutmann am Dutzendteich. A restaurant with a large beer garden, approx. 500 m from the DokuCenter on the opposite bank of lake Dutzendteich.
I agree with previous post. Convenient and classic for a beer garden outside.
will the beer garden be open - I've never been to a Biergarten in winter - when it is Christmas Market season?
I'd have thought of a light snack/lunch with the expectation of grazing at the Christmas Market
The beer garden will be, of course closed, but the large restaurant will be open.

seems to indicate that the OP wants to have his/her lunch near the DokuCenter.
Thank you for the recommedation!
