What Fortnum & Mason is to London, and Fauchon is to Paris, so the venerable Dallmayr is to Munich. For centuries, kings, queens and VIPs have sought out its exquisite foods from every corner of the earth. Happily, you don’t need to be royalty to dine in the intimate 2 Michelin-starred Dallmayr Restaurant that rests above the world-famous delicatessen. Though you’re likely to feel it as you take in the perfect view of the Frauenkirche, Munich’s grandest church, and realise that your porcelain plate was exclusively handcrafted in nearby Nymphenburg Palace; your crystal wine glass is by Theresienthal glassmakers, whose goblets and decanters have graced the tables of castles and palaces for centuries. And your cutlery is Italian silver. In fact, table, chairs, lamps – everything in Dallmayr Restaurant is bespoke. Diethard Urbansky’s fine Mediterranean cuisine steps up the deluxe mark with each delectable course, sublimely supported by sommelier Marc Kaiser’s choice from a list of 650 wines. Fortunate are they that worship at the gourmet temple of Dallmayr Restaurant.
