In the heart of the city, just a stone's throw from Marienplatz, this restaurant is on the ground floor of Munich's heritage-protected chancery (Schreiberei), where the city's history has been recorded since 1552. The attractive interior has a certain brasserie feel and, in good weather, the quiet sheltered courtyard terrace is especially inviting. Made with select ingredients, such as the veal cheeks with truffle polenta, the food is bursting with flavour. The tartare – there are many different variations, including meat, fish and vegetarian options – is a must. Be sure to try one of the delicious desserts, too. The varied à la carte selection is also ideal for sharing. When it comes to the excellent wine list, ask for a recommendation for a glass or bottle to accompany your meal.
