The 5 Best Restaurants in Munich

By Chris Boyle

With internationally recognizable restaurants becoming established in the rapidly growing city of Munich, the elite traveler has such a variety of cuisine to choose from that you will feel you have the world at your fingertips.

Restaurant 181

Cuisine: Gourmet

Style / Ambiance: As the name suggests, Restaurant 181 is situated 181 meters above to ground in the city’s striking Olympic Tower. Naturally, the views across Munich are stunning with the restaurant slowly revolving to ensure a truly 360-degree experience.

The food is certainly a match for the location. Dinner is spread across two sittings with the sunset dinner taking place at 6pm. For this, the restaurant have devised a dedicated Sunset Menu, which is stripped back to three courses and designed for those wishing to take in the views at the most beautiful time of day. The Feinschmecker Menu allows for a more fine dining experience and is served from 8pm onwards. The offerings change regularly to make best use of seasonal ingredients.
