Barysphär
This is one of the most trendy places to eat out in Munich. The restaurant, or 'food club' as they like to call it, is on the ground floor, with an equally popular bar venue in the cellar. Its name, which comes from a derivation of the Greek for 'inner earth', is reflected in the warm elemental colours of the décor. The most innovative and exciting feature, however, is the menu, which includes some extremely unusual and exotic offerings, such as alligator steak.

Chinesischer Turm
Not one of the most stylish places in Munich but definitely among the most famous and popular. Situated in the picturesque English Garden and open all year round, the ‘Chinese Tower' serves huge amounts of original Bavarian beer and traditional food. Punk or politician, student or star, everybody can be seen here.

Dallmayr
The Dallmayr delicatessen is the city's top gastronomic address, drawing well-heeled Münchners to its lavish displays of fruits, vegetables, fish, cheeses, meats, chocolates and its celebrated coffee. The light and airy first-floor restaurant exudes elegance and serves shoppers classy lunch snacks, such as seafood and carpaccio, and indulgent oysters and lobster in the evening.

Hofbräuhaus
Probably the most famous brewery and restaurant in Germany, the world-renowned Hofbräuhaus guesthouse caters primarily for tourists, although it still attracts some Bavarian stalwarts. It sprawls over three floors, with the typical beerhall boasting long wooden tables and dramatically low chandeliers. Vaulted ceilings, rustic décor and live oom-pah music make this a highly atmospheric venue. During the summer, it is possible for guests to sit outside in the courtyard. The beer is superb, as are the hearty local dishes, including the tasty Munich speciality, ‘white sausage' served with sweet mustard.

Käfer-Schänke
This very typical Bavarian gourmet restaurant has a long history of famous chefs and guests. Although it is one of the most upmarket places in town, the delicious Bavarian dishes with a kick of innovation can be comfortably enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. This big traditional restaurant is divided into 12 cosy rooms, seating from a romantic two to a jolly 40.

Mangostin
United under one roof are three exotic experiences: Papa Joe's Colonial Bar and Restaurant, serving colonial food, Keiko, a Japanese restaurant, and Lemon Grass with Thai cuisine and an open wok kitchen. All three are in the same price range and offer Asian delicacies, from sushi, tempura and bento to a variety of stir fries and noodle dishes. Décor is oriental with East Asian sculptures and plants decorating the space. The biggest attraction, however, must be the huge Mangostin garden on balmy summer evenings, and the sensational Sunday brunch buffet (reservations essential).

Mark's Restaurant
Dining at Mark's, the signature restaurant of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is a luxurious experience. Diners arrive at the mezzanine restaurant by climbing a grand marble staircase, which opens out onto a lavish but intimate setting, with fine crystal and china, flowers and fruit nestling on the wooden tables. The cuisine is just as sumptuous - merging a variety of world cuisines, with special emphasis on Mediterranean ingredients.

Tantris
Red and black are the dominating colours of this dramatically decorated, long-established restaurant. Spaciously designed, Tantris offers an extraordinary dining room, the Garden Salon, for special occasions or conferences. In the summer, tables on the elegant terrace are much sought after. The delicate and creative food is a pure celebration of the senses.
