PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Noted as one of the most posh and immediately desirable addresses in Munich, and the culinary domain of celebrity chef Karl Ederer, this restaurant occupies an antique building that's noted for its huge windows, several blazing fireplaces, very high ceilings, and an appealing collection of paintings. Inspiration for the menu items covers the gamut of cuisine from Bavaria, France, Italy, the New World, and the Pacific Rim, and as such, the place has received plenty of raves in the German press. The menu changes with the seasons and the whims of the kitchen staff, but might include such starters as marinated sweet-and-sour pumpkin served with shiitake mushrooms, parsley roots, and lukewarm chunks of octopus, or a terrine of duckling foie gras with a very fresh brioche and a dollop of pumpkin jelly. Main courses might include a delectable roasted breast of duckling with stuffing, glazed baby white cabbage, mashed potatoes, and gooseliver sauce; or pan-fried anglerfish with a sauce made from olive oil, lemongrass, and thyme.
