An hour alone in a beautiful place – On the upper floor of Tambosi

Overlooking Odeonplatz, it offers a beautiful view of the royal palace and the Theatiner Church. With classic, slightly retro but well-maintained décor, the second floor offers the tranquility you seek while waiting for an appointment, accompanied by a wide selection of teas and desserts from the chef. There is both bar and restaurant service, as well as cozy outdoor tables on the square and in the royal gardens.

A formal lunch with a client – Armani

Elegant and located in the fashion center of Munich, on the second floor above the Giorgio Armani store, this is the ideal place to enjoy a business lunch. The high-quality food, well-designed spaces, and refined décor create the perfect atmosphere for discussing confidential matters in peace and privacy.

A relaxing lunch – Osteria Italiana

A blend of dark wood furniture and partitions in the traditional German style of the early 1900s combined with Italian furnishings and frescoes, Osteria Italiana is a piece of Italy in the heart of Munich. Here, for over twenty years, Prisco (the owner, originally from Campania) and his chefs and waiters have been spoiling customers not only with high-quality dishes but also with their extraordinary irony, friendliness, and cheerfulness. An ancient wine cellar with memorable wines surprises guests who enjoy Prisco’s trust.

A trendy aperitif – Schumann’s

Next to the royal gardens, Schumann’s is one of the places to be seen, but also to drink some of the best cocktails in the world. The charismatic owner Charles, an actor, model, and boxer, welcomes professionals, Bayern Munich players, and heirs to a potpourri of professions, styles, limousines, and custom-built cars parked on the sidewalks in front of the outdoor tables. Getting a table for lunch in the outdoor gardens in summer is a sign of exclusivity.

An ideal place for informal meetings – Roof garden of the Bayerischer Hof

If you are looking for a quiet spot in the heart of Munich’s historic center with breathtaking views of the city, head up to the top floor terrace of this luxury hotel. In winter, it is transformed into an ice bar covered in snow and heated by wood-burning fireplaces, while in summer it is a summer garden ideal for quiet meetings for two or enjoying refined and elegant meals in the company of friends.

A dinner to intrigue – Kuffler

Two refined wooden rooms decorated with Bavarian paintings and furnishings, overlooking the Munich Opera House, are one of the most refined and welcoming places to enjoy classic Bavarian cuisine: roast duck, pork knuckle, and kaiserschmarren. Here you can experience Munich hospitality in its most authentic form in two variations: on the ground floor, the typical Bavarian tavern; on the upper floor, refinement.

A gourmet dinner – Dallmayr

Just a stone’s throw from Marienplatz, this restaurant is located above the famous gourmet specialty store: a veritable temple of taste overlooking the beautiful town hall. The new Austrian chef Max Natmessnig and his team amaze diners with a 17-course menu of the highest quality in an exclusive and intimate setting. We are waiting to see if he will manage to obtain two stars like his predecessor.

The latest trendy spot – Brenner

Located in a historic building in Munich next to the Opera House, this restaurant harmoniously blends the styles of Milan and Munich. It consists of three areas: the grill area with an open fireplace in the center of the room; the second area dedicated to fresh handmade pasta; and finally the bar with its lounge style. Impeccable Italian service for a clientele of thirty-somethings and professionals who want to meet in an elegant, high-quality venue.

The place to be and be seen – H’ugo’s wine and champagne bar

Right in the center of Munich, opposite the Bayerischer Hof hotel, this is undoubtedly one of the places to be seen, dance, and pop open magnums of champagne, but also enjoy a good pizza. The atmosphere is modern, trendy, and – especially in summer – effervescent, with a whirlwind of models, soccer players, and VIPs who want to experience the best of Munich’s social life.
