Sparkling Bistro

Bistro may not accurately capture the essence of this restaurant – the name dates back to an earlier era. Tucked away in Schwabing's Amalienpassage, this establishment exudes a pleasingly understated elegance, and the culinary standards are just as exceptional as the exquisite setting. Owner Jürgen Wolfsgruber and his team offer thoughtfully crafted cuisine that is both pared back and intensely flavourful, a case in point being the terrific fresh Vendée turbot served with mildly marinated cauliflower slices, thin slivers of preserved lemon, elderflower capers and a foamy beurre blanc. The chef's predilection for ingredients sourced from his Austrian homeland also shines through in dishes such as Almsee venison hunted by the family themselves. Furthermore, his passion for wine is apparent, as he enjoys joining his attentive and experienced front-of-house team in providing interesting recommendations.
