Vinothek by Geisel

"Housed in the luxurious EXCELSIOR by Geisel hotel in the centre of Munich, not far from Stachus, Vinothek is a relaxed establishment done out in a cosy rustic style. The high cross-vaulted ceiling certainly has the wow factor, as does the array of decorative wine bottles. As you might expect from the name of this restaurant, delicious dishes that are inspired by the region and the Mediterranean – such as octopus carpaccio with fennel salad, potato, tomato and basil, or glazed veal cheek with truffle sauce, celeriac and mashed potato – are accompanied by a terrific selection of international wines. Comprising around 800 items, the list is dominated by German, French and Austrian labels. Tip: Check out their reasonably priced lunchtime set menu, which includes coffee and water. Cookery courses and "kitchen parties" are also organised." - Michelin Inspector
