Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Alois Dallmayr, which traces its history back to 1700, is the most famous delicatessen in Germany. After looking at its tempting array of delicacies from around the globe, you'll think you're lost in a millionaire's supermarket -- and in fact, Dallmayr has been a purveyor to many royal courts. Here, near the Rathaus, you'll find Munich's most elegant consumers, looking for that \"tinned treasure,\" perhaps Scottish salmon, foie gras, English biscuits, wines and spirits, as well as out-of-season fresh produce. The upstairs dining room serves a subtle German version of Continental cuisine, owing a heavy debt to France. The food array is dazzling, ranging from the best herring and sausages we've ever tasted to such rare treats as perfectly vine-ripened tomatoes flown in from Morocco and papayas from Brazil. The famous French poulet de Bresse (this Bresse chicken is identified throughout Europe as the most flavorful and tender chicken anywhere), beloved of gourmets, is also shipped in. The smoked fish is a taste sensation, and the soups are superbly flavored, especially the one made with shrimp.
