Munich High-End Restaurants

• Tantris Mediterranean, Phone: 089-36-19-59-0 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "Austrian-born chef Hans Haas produces surprising flavors in the modern Spanish-infused style: beef cheeks served with leek purée and mixed, salted vegetables; braised salmon in brown butter; and ravioli filled with crayfish, pesto, or pea purée."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Tantris serves Munich's finest cuisine. Chef Hans Haas was voted the top chef in Germany in 1994, and, if anything, he has refined and sharpened his technique since winning that honor."

• • Fodor's Review : "Chef Hans Haas, named the country's best chef by Germany's premier food critics in the past, has kept this restaurant among the top-five dining establishments in Munich."

• Boettner's International, Phone: 089-22-12-10 Google Map
  • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Culinary fans from yesterday will recognize its wood-paneled interior, which was dismantled and moved to the new site. If anything, the cookery seems better than ever -- at least it's lighter and more refined."

• • Zagat Well Rated : "For a 'terrific slice of old Munich', locals head to this elegant Innenstadt International..."

• Acuarello Italian/Mediterranean, Phone: 089-470-4848 Google Map
  • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "One of Bavaria's greatest Italian restaurants pursues a cuisine so classical and sublime, it may cause gourmets from Munich to want to drive south of the border for the sunny flavors of Italy."

• • Zagat Well Rated  : "Touted by some as 'the best Italian in town', this small spot in residential Bogenhausen draws diners with 'excellent' fare"

• Schuhbecks Südtiroler Stuben Bavarian/International, Phone: 089-216-6900 Google Map
  • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "This luxe restaurant is at the very top of all the restaurants of Bavaria, given serious competition only by Tantris. Chef Alfons Schuhbeck enjoys a well-deserved celebrity."

• • Zagat Well Rated : "[I]t adds up to one of 'the best restaurants in Munich' for a truly 'adult dining' experience."

• Brenner Grill Italian, Phone: 089-452-2880 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "The extreme open kitchen conceit would be irritating if it added tens of euros to the check, but this place is very reasonable, which no doubt explains its mass appeal."

• • Zagat Well Rated : "[H]as been restored and modernized, creating a bright, expansive space with 'big' pillars and vaulted ceilings..."

Munich Moderate Restaurants

• Bistro Cézanne French, Phone: 089-391-805 Google Map
  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Patrick Geay, both chef and owner here, operates this undiscovered little Parisian bistro, which has glamour, charm, and flair"

• • Fodor's Review : "Among the fish dishes, the scallops melt in the mouth, while the coq au vin will conquer the greatest hungers. Reservations are advised."

• Alois Dallmayr Continental, Phone: 089-2-13-51-00 Google Map
  • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The food array is dazzling, ranging from the best herring and sausages we've ever tasted to such rare treats as perfectly vine-ripened tomatoes flown in from Morocco and papayas from Brazil."

• Der Katzlmacher Italian, Phone: 089-348-129 Google Map
  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Stylish and theatrical, and filled with well-dressed, prosperous-looking clients, it contains lavishly carved paneling, masses of artfully arranged flowers, and huge amounts of charm."

Munich Affordable Restaurants

• Nürnberger Bratwurst Glöckl am Dom Bavarian, Phone: 089-29-52-64 Google Map
  • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "This old restaurant first opened in 1893. It was rebuilt after World War II and is the coziest and warmest of all the local restaurants."

• • Fodor's Review : "In summer, tables are placed outside under a bright awning and in the shade of the nearby Frauenkirche. In winter the mellow dark-panel dining rooms provide relief from the cold."

• Pfalzer Weinprobierstube German/Palatinate, Phone: 089-225-628 Google Map
  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The chef is big on bellies here (and you'd get one too if you dined here every day), including grilled pork belly. For more modern tastes, there is baked filet of white fish."

• • Fodor's Review : "A maze of stone-vaulted rooms, wooden tables, flickering candles, dirndl-clad waitresses, and a long list of wines add up to a storybook image of a timeless Germany."

• Café Dukatz in Schäfflerhof International/French, Phone: 089-710-407373 Google Map
  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The restaurant serves a full-fledged, freshly prepared cuisine using some the finest ingredients from the Bavarian countryside."

• Palais Keller Bavarian, Phone: 089-21-20-990 Google Map
  • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Massive, with a high turnover and a sense of bustling energy, this richly folkloric restaurant is down a flight of stone steps, deep in the cellar of one of Munich's finest hotels."

Munich Vegetarian Restaurants

• Prinz Myshkin Phone: 089-26-55-96 Google Map
