Café & Bistro Dallmayr (Munich, GERMANY) ★★★★☆

Dallmayr is a luxury delicatessen food store in the heart of Munich that dates back to the 17th century. Perched on the first floor of the building are two restaurants - Restaurant Dallmayr that serves a Modern European menu from Michelin-starred chef Diethard Urbansky and Café & Bistro Dallmayr better known for its modern bistro food.



Since we were only staying 16 hours in Munich, we decided not to waste time on fine dining and instead focus more on exploring the city. Café & Bistro Dallmayr seemed to suit us just fine.




Our table has a nice view of the garden at the Marienhof from across the street.



At Café & Bistro Dallmayr, we can find all sorts of drinks and cakes one would expect from a grand European café. Let's start with a nice cup of hot chocolate, shall we?




The hot chocolate was alright but I thought the iced dark chocolate was a little light.



We haven't eaten (or slept) properly for nearly 24 hours so our eyes were glowing when this lobster cream soup with cognac arrived (4/10).



More exciting was the next dish, a roasted scallops with pine nuts, mountain lentils and salad of mango and papaya (5/10).



I liked this last dish - fried king prawns with spinach fettucine and cherry tomatoes in a lobster sauce. This was meant to be a little soupy (6/10).



Following dinner, we spent some time at the delicatessen food hall on ground floor and checked out some of these gourmet food. It reminded me a little of Harrod's food hall. This is heaven for any foodie!
