Tohru in der Schreiberei

Munich, Germany

3 Michelin stars

Vinaiolo

Munich, Germany

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.
