Alois - Dallmayr Fine Dining
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list

Bar Mural
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Bar Mural sits at Theresienstraße 1 in central Munich, serving contemporary American cuisine with a wine list of 130 selections across 1,520 bottles. Michelin has awarded it a Plate in both 2024 and 2025, placing it in a recognised tier of Munich's mid-range dining. The collaboration between Chef Josh Gayer, Wine Director Javier Dominguez Gutierrez, and General Manager Alex Klein gives the programme an unusual coherence for the price point.
Blaue Libelle
Deep wine list
Blaue Libelle occupies a dimly lit corner of Hans-Sachs-Straße in Munich's Glockenbachviertel, where the neighbourhood's bohemian edge meets a modern bar format built around champagne and house music. It represents a newer wave of Munich nightlife: less lederhosen institution, more late-night room with a specific sensory mood. The address puts it squarely in the district's most concentrated bar corridor.
Brenner
Deep wine list
On Maximilianstraße, Munich's most prestigious commercial address, Entry Removed holds a place among Europe's critically tracked Modern European restaurants, ranked #203 on the Opinionated About Dining Europe list in 2024. Under chef Benjamin Chmura, the kitchen operates in the company of Munich's Michelin-decorated fine dining tier, offering a reference point for serious dining on the Maxvorstadt-Altstadt axis.
Broeding
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate-recognised address in Munich's Neuhausen district, Broeding occupies the quieter end of the city's classic cuisine scene, away from the tourist circuits and tasting-menu theatrics that define the centre. Two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025) signal consistent kitchen form. It holds a loyal following among residents who return for cooking rather than occasion.
Brothers
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
The restaurant sits in Munich's upper tier of modern cuisine, rated 79 points on La Liste's 2026 Top Restaurants list and ranked 189th in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2025. Priced at the €€€€ level, it books ahead and rewards early planning.
buffet Kull bar
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
At Marienstraße 4 in Munich's city centre, buffet Kull bar holds a Michelin Plate for 2025 and pairs French-Mediterranean cooking with a wine list spanning Germany, Austria, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Italy across a 700-selection, 2,500-bottle inventory. Wine Director Francisco Corcoba oversees both front-of-house and cellar, while Chef Julian Plochberger anchors dinner service in a format priced at the mid-upper tier of Munich's competitive dining scene.
Freisinger Hof
Deep wine list
Freisinger Hof holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, alongside a White Star from Star Wine List, situating it among Munich's more serious traditional dining addresses. Located in Oberföhring, the restaurant pairs classical German cooking with a wine program that earned independent editorial notice..
GRAPES Weinbar
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Positioned at the heart of Old Town Munich, GRAPES Weinbar has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition since 2021 and an Opinionated About Dining ranking for its 1,100-selection list spanning Germany, Burgundy, Austria, and Italy. The kitchen runs a seasonal European menu under chef Gerlando Bordino, with wine direction from Bernd Grossschädl and a team of six sommeliers. It opens six evenings a week from 6:30 pm, later on weekends.
Guido Al Duomo
Deep wine list
At Frauenplatz 12, steps from the Frauenkirche, Guido Al Duomo has become one of Munich's most closely watched wine destinations. Now steered by the Schweighart sons, the address has refreshed its identity while retaining its downtown authority.
Heinz Winkler
Deep wine list
Heinz Winkler carries a specific weight in Munich's fine dining conversation: a name attached to the upper tier of classical European technique at a moment when the city's top tables are increasingly defined by creative and Franco-Japanese hybrids.
Hippocampus
Deep wine list
Hippocampus holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025), placing it among Munich's more consistent Italian addresses. Located in the Bogenhausen district at Mühlbaurstraße 5, it operates in the €€€ tier, a price point that separates it from the city's starred Italian rooms without abandoning serious cooking credentials.
IL Sommelier
Deep wine list
IL Sommelier on Kreillerstraße holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, placing it among Munich's recognised Italian tables at the €€€ price tier. The kitchen works within a tradition that treats Italian cooking as a serious discipline rather than casual comfort food, making it a reliable reference point in a city where Italian restaurants occupy a wide and uneven spectrum.
JAN
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
JAN holds three Michelin stars and ranks third in Europe on Opinionated About Dining (2025), placing it firmly in Germany's uppermost tier of creative fine dining. Chef Jan Hartwig's open-kitchen format on Luisenstraße 27 draws on classical French training and regional Bavarian ingredients, producing tasting menus that earn 97.5 points on La Liste and a place at number 84 on the World's 50 Best list (2024).
Johannas
Deep wine list
A small, family-owned hotel restaurant in Munich's Sendling district, Johannas holds a Michelin Plate and the Star Wine List #1 ranking for 2023. The kitchen runs on seasonal produce and an unusually deep wine program, assembled by a chef with a near-obsessive focus on sourcing. At the €€€ price point, it occupies a different register from Munich's starred dining circuit without conceding ground on ingredient quality.
Landersdorfer & Innerhofer
Deep wine list
On a quiet stretch of Hackenstraße in Munich's Old Town, Landersdorfer & Innerhofer presents a deliberately understated exterior that gives little away. Inside, the kitchen delivers Mediterranean-rooted cooking serious enough to earn a place on the Opinionated About Dining Classical in Europe list, ranked 214th in 2025, up from 272nd the year prior. It operates Tuesday through Friday at lunch and dinner, closing on weekends.
Les Deux
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Les Deux occupies a distinctive position in Munich's fine dining circuit, splitting across two floors: a relaxed ground-floor bistro and a Michelin-starred first-floor restaurant where chef Edip Sigl works French technique through a German seasonal lens. Recognised by La Liste 2026 and Opinionated About Dining, it sits in the upper tier of the city's contemporary French category at the €€€€ price point.
Limoni
Deep wine list
Limoni occupies a corner of Maxvorstadt's Amalienstraße, where the neighbourhood's student-and-gallery rhythm meets a more considered Italian dining register. The address places it within easy reach of Munich's serious restaurant corridor, offering a reference point for how Italian cuisine positions itself in a city dominated by German and Franco-Japanese fine dining ambitions.
Little London
Deep wine list
Little London at Tal 31 brings the brasserie grammar of London and New York to central Munich, with warm wooden interiors, a relaxed country atmosphere, and a grills-focused menu that holds a Michelin Plate for the second consecutive year.Among Munich's premium steakhouses, it sits alongside The George as the format's most recognisable address.
Mr. Tonkey
Deep wine list
On Kazmairstraße in Munich's Westend district, Mr. Tonkey occupies a neighbourhood that has quietly become one of the city's more interesting dining corridors, sitting well outside the fine-dining circuit centred around Tantris or Atelier.
Mural Restaurant
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Inside the MUCA contemporary art museum in Munich's Altstadt, mural serves a four-to-five course creative set menu built almost entirely from Bavarian ingredients. Chef Felix Adebahr holds a Michelin Plate and an Opinionated About Dining European ranking, with a natural wine selection and lunch service Thursday to Saturday adding further flexibility to an already compelling proposition.
Pageou
Deep wine list
Pageou brings Mediterranean cooking to Munich's financial district at Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 10, holding a Michelin Plate for consecutive years through 2024 and 2025. The €€€ pricing places it in a more accessible register than Munich's starred fine-dining tier, making it a practical address for those who want ingredient-driven, olive-oil-led cuisine without the formality of a full tasting menu commitment.
Pizza Studio Munich
Deep wine list
Pizza Studio Munich on Herzogstraße earned a White Star recognition from Star Wine List in February 2025, signalling a wine program that punches above the category's usual expectations. Located in the Schwabing district, it occupies a corner of Munich's dining scene where serious pizza craft meets considered drinking. For a city better known for Michelin-starred tasting menus, this is a useful counterpoint.
Sparkling Bistro
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Sparkling Bistro holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among Europe's top 550 restaurants, operating out of Munich's Amalienpassage with a short weekly schedule that concentrates the kitchen's output into three evenings and two lunch sittings. Chef Jürgen Wolfsgruber's cooking sits at the sharpest edge of Modern German cuisine, and the recent addition of ex-Tantris sommelier Nico Spanier to the cellar has sharpened the wine program to match.
Tantris
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Munich's most decorated fine dining address, Tantris holds two Michelin stars and a 2025 World's 50 Best ranking of #73, placing it among Germany's small tier of globally recognised French contemporary restaurants. Under Chef Benjamin Chmura, the kitchen operates Wednesday through Saturday with a wine program ranked #1 by Star Wine List across multiple years. The setting alone, a 1970s brutalist interior that has become an architectural reference point, signals this is not a conventional luxury dining room.
Tantris DNA
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Tantris DNA occupies the second room of Munich's most storied fine dining address, where half a century of house classics meets current kitchen ambition under chef Benjamin Chimura. Holding one Michelin star and recognised by La Liste 2026, the format is prix fixe, the wine list ranks among Germany's deepest, and service is professional without formality. Open Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.
THE CLOUD by Käfer
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Set inside BMW Welt's striking glass architecture, THE CLOUD by Käfer in Munich operates on a rotating annual concept: each year, Chef Jens Madsen focuses his eight-course tasting menu on a specific region of the world, pairing local Bavarian produce with global culinary traditions. The current season draws from East and South Africa. Alcohol-free pairings are available alongside wine, and front-of-house standards match the ambition of the kitchen.
Tohru in der Schreiberei
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Munich’s high-end dining scene has a serious Japanese-German counterpoint in Tohru in der Schreiberei, where multi-course structure, seasonality and restraint carry more weight than spectacle. Recognition from Michelin, La Liste, Les Grandes Tables du Monde and Opinionated About Dining places it in the city’s narrow upper tier, with Tohru Nakamura’s cooking read against both European tasting-menu discipline and kaiseki logic.
Vinaiolo
Deep wine list
In a city saturated with Italian restaurants, Vinaiolo on Steinstraße earns its Michelin Plate recognition two years running through cooking that draws on the Abruzzese tradition rather than the pan-Italian defaults that dominate Munich's trattoria circuit. The room itself, warm, close, and deliberately romantic, matches the cooking's register: specific, considered, and worth planning around.
Vino e Gusto
Deep wine list
On Herrnstraße in Munich's Altstadt-Lehel district, Vino e Gusto occupies a corner of the city where Italian wine culture and Bavarian dining habits have quietly coexisted for decades. The address places it within walking distance of Munich's most decorated fine-dining rooms, yet the format leans toward wine-led conviviality rather than tasting-menu formality. An address worth knowing for those who prefer the glass to drive the evening.
VINOTHEK by Geisel
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
A wine-focused dining room attached to Munich's Hotel Königshof, VINOTHEK by Geisel draws a loyal crowd of regulars with a 1,800-bottle cellar weighted toward Italy, France, and Austria, and an Italian-leaning menu under Michelin Plate recognition. Wine Director Moritz Schmitt's list spans accessible and premium tiers, with a corkage fee of €55 for those bringing their own bottles.
Weinhaus Neuner
Deep wine list
Weinhaus Neuner holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, placing it among Munich's dependable addresses for traditional German cuisine at the €€€ tier. Located in Herzogspitalstraße in the Altstadt, it occupies the kind of setting that marks a serious occasion dinner without demanding the four-figure outlay of the city's starred tables..
Werneckhof Sigi Schelling
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Werneckhof Sigi Schelling holds a Michelin star and a place on the 2026 La Liste ranking in Munich's Schwabing district, serving French contemporary cuisine at Werneckstraße 11. The restaurant has appeared consecutively on Opinionated About Dining's European Classical list since 2023, signalling consistent peer recognition across multiple independent ranking systems. For Munich's fine-dining circuit, it occupies a specific bracket: classically grounded French cooking with the credentials to match.
Zum Goldenen Kalb
Deep wine list
Zum Goldenen Kalb occupies a corner address in Munich's Gärtnerplatzviertel, a neighbourhood where traditional Bavarian eating houses and contemporary dining rooms exist within the same few blocks. The restaurant draws regulars seeking a menu rooted in the region's produce-led cooking traditions, making it a reference point for understanding how Munich balances its appetite for classical German cuisine with a changing dining culture.
