The restaurant Tantris in northern Schwabing is famous throughout Germany. Its founder, Fritz Eichbauer, once said, “With the money we’ve spent on Tantris, we could’ve bought a castle. But where would we eat?” Two Michelin stars and nearly half a century later, the restaurant is still in a class of its own, not only in Munich, but in all of Germany. Those who want to pull up one of the 125 seats are advised to reserve a table several weeks in advance. The red 70s interior with Asian sculptures is unchanged since the opening, making it unintentionally trendy, but the focus continues to be on the menu. Naturally, the cuisine is haute and Bavarian, and don’t forget that Italy is very close by.
