Dallmayr Bar & Grill

The oysters were super fresh and went down perfectly with a glass of champagne. The one with the melted cheese on top was next level—creamy, salty, and just so good. Definitely a combo I didn’t know I needed!

Me and my boyfriend took sea food plate, for 2 person (300€btw)food was really watery and did not felt like fresh at all. Directly after 2-3 hours ish I started vomiting, had Diarrhea, had headaches and had severe food poisoning, next day I almost fainted, was feeling extremely sick! which was obviously from the food, the symptoms was exactly fish poisoning.

Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere, all at reasonable prices. I’d been wanting to try this place for a while, but reservations are required, and even the bar seats are usually full. Fortunately, I managed to get a table on a rainy day. I spent €81 (before tips) on 4 oysters, a duck breast entrée with a baked cheese tomato add-on (a generous portion), and two glasses of wine. The server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared, with certain items sliced or left whole for specific reasons—just ask, and you’ll appreciate how considerate they are. To be honest, the oysters were just okay, but they were definitely fresh! The baked cheese tomato add-on was a pleasant surprise, so much so that I’d happily have it as a stand-alone lunch. I insisted on regional wines, although it seemed the server had other recommendations in mind. The price is not much higher than the city average (I ate way more this time for €81), but the quality and experience make it absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this place for a celebratory treat or a date. It’s located inside Dallmayr grocery shop, and I’d suggest browsing the coffee shop on the 2nd floor before dinner—it adds to the overall experience!

Please read until the end before coming at me. I have dined here twice on different occasions but never again. At first i had a date here, and it went quite well. Food were amazing, the Irish Oysters & Entrecote were outstandingly delicious. As for the beef tartare, it was good. The Bouillabaisse was a bit too salty to my liking, but i thought that’s fine and told myself this happens sometimes when you eat out. However, when our bill came, the waitress asked would we like to add any tips, we politely declined (tipping is not compulsory in Europe). But she really SIGHED in front of us and just left. No thanking us whatsoever for dining there. And i came again 3 days after with a friend of mine, hoping that i would not meet that same, rude waitress again. I was really impressed by the food and that was enough for me to be able to ignore the rudeness of the service. Me and my friend ordered a few Irish oysters as the appetizer, 2 Entrecote (medium rare) with a side of potato foam, and a dessert called “Apfel” and a scoop of pistachio ice cream. Everything went good, a different waitress helped us and she assisted us very well (nice lady, offered me to help with my luggages & bags) and i actually tipped her because i was satisfied. However things went downhill as i left the restaurant. I got on my train to go back and not so long after, i started having cold symptoms including nausea, and i eventually threw up. Weirdly enough, the vomit was only red, tiny shreds of meat (i only had McDonalds McCrispy Chicken for breakfast). I have eye witnesses on this because it was such a big hassle on board the train. The train “Chef” (boss/person in charge) had to make an announcement regarding my sickness and sought for doctors on board the train. Lucky enough there were 3, and 1 was sitting right behind me and they took care of me until the end of my trip. Here is my personal take on this restaurant: The menus they serve are delicious, and the ambience is very amusing. But the services are SOMETIMES adequate and the food safety is SOMETIMES measured (you do not know when they will be lacking). This is a high-end restaurant and they are inconsistent. For this price point, people can easily find better quality restaurants. To whoever is in charge of this place : Please do improve the consistency of literally EVERYTHING. Especially when it comes to the service & food safety. Do not just make good food that people might think is a hit or miss. People certainly do not want to walk out the restaurant and fall ill after just a few hours. Customers are willing to spend hundreds even thousands of €€ at upscale restaurants to have a beautiful dining experience. So don’t let them down or underestimate their potential splurge. Lastly, to that one rude waitress, if you’re having a bad day just keep it to yourself and ONLY yourself, and if necessary just take a break. Don’t work if you hate the job or you’ll end up making the reputation of this place terrible.

Great place for a Glas of champagne and Dome oysters. The Food is high level and top quality The staff is super friendly! THE place to be in Munich

My experience at Dallmayr Bar & Grill was excellent in every detail. The place is elegant and stylish, with a modern design that creates a refined atmosphere. The service was professional and efficient, with staff who were friendly and attentive to every little detail. The overall ambiance strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, making it a great choice for special occasions or simply to enjoy a relaxed time in the heart of Munich. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

I had an excellent dining experience at Dallmayr Bar&Grill. The ambiance was inviting and elegant, and Fabian provided exceptional, attentive service. The tuna tataki was perfectly prepared and delicious, and the selection of wines by the glass paired wonderfully. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is a bit different, somehow feels like a food court although the prices are very high and the food is very good. I get the salmon each time I go, your fork goes like butter and the artichoke tasted very well with it.

Dallmayr is a food lover's paradise! Beautifully packaged tins of cookies, tea, coffee, candy, chocolate, baked goods and other things that would make great presents. They also have a large delicatessen with prepared foods as well as a chic Champagne Bar. It's clear that this is where the upper class of Munich go to have a light lunch or aperitif with a raw oyster or two! A fun tucked away spot within Dallmayr is the "Spirits Room" which sells a wide variety of bottles of hard to find liquor and wine at all different price points. The Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Dallmayr is a high end delicatessen located in Munich's main plaza, Marienplatz. They also have a semi-casual cafe on the 2nd floor. One will find high end sea food items, fresh meats, cheeses, deli items, high end pastries, chocolates, teas, coffees, breads and other assorted goods. Pricing is on the high side, but that is to be expected for the quality of goods. This is great spot to go to indulge in some of Germany's finest or to perhaps take back some for family or friends back home. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and it's definitely worth checking out, even if it's just to marvel at all the luxurious goods they have on display.

Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere, all at reasonable prices. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, but reservations are required, and even the bar seats are usually full. Fortunately, I managed to get a table on a rainy day.

I had just finished a tour and was famished. I had lunch in the small cafe/bar on the first floor. It was quite crowded, but I was able to find a table. They only offered a seafood menu that day. I ordered the grilled salmon with pumpkin purée and a salad. You can tell from the picture that the salad was huge. The salmon was perfectly prepared and the pumpkin purée was an amazing combination of flavor. The staff was at the top of their game as well and spoke English, which was very welcome. The cafe is located inside a high end deli/cheese shop/bakery, and I highly recommend picking up something for later.

Great place for breakfast or lunch in Munich, near Marienplatz, the sausage is very special and taste so good, best sausage I have eaten in my life, don't miss it if you visit Munich; the espresso martini also is recommended; gourmet breakfast is good, very fresh meat, but not as special as others

A high end gourmet store in the old city center ... this place has it all ... prices aren't as crazy like Harrods in London .. but definitely not cheap ... tons of cheese, and cold foods are available ... They have a section of chocolates, teas, cookies, wines and super high end liquors ... After buying some stuff, we went to the bar and had a couple of glasses of wine .. The service was nice and attentive ... Don't fear a language barrier ... everyone speaks English ! Will be back for sure next time I'm in Munich !!

The quality of the ingredients used at Dallmayr is simply outstanding. Freshness radiates through every dish they serve, and their selection is impressive. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or a seafood lover, Dallmayr has got you covered. Their wine collection is diverse, featuring an array of carefully selected labels, and their fresh salmon is a true delight for the taste buds. The café itself is beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with recommendations or answer any questions you may have. It's clear that they take pride in providing exceptional service to their customers. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate Dallmayr's commitment to using high-quality ingredients. Each bite I took was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavors that delighted my senses.

This is my favorite stop whenever I am in Munich. Lunch at the Dallmayr Bar & Grill was fabulous!! I am still craving the shrimp salad. You can dine inside or outside. Service is good. The food and wine is high quality as you would expect. www.Dallmayr.de

We recently had breakfast in the second floor bistro. We were not impressed. The food was okay, but not worth what it cost. We got the "soft boiled" eggs...but they were hard boiled. We let the server know, but all she could muster was "oh, well"...no offer to replace or take off the bill. The decor is quite dated, and it's very stuffy and impersonal. The are so many other and better places to have breakfast in Munich.

The best shop in München for wine, delicatessen, and the cafe is a must try, pro tip the cafe is the same great minds as the upstairs restaurant that has a Michelin Star.

Two things - I didn't find this place to be outlandishly expensive at all, and you can find some wonderful gifts here for those who aren't going to be satisfied with a Munich shot glass. Wander around, enjoy the experience, maybe grab something from one of the deli counters if you're headed up to the English Garden for a picnic. But, also grab some of the mustard, the coffee, the chocolate for gifts - or just for yourself. :)

Alois Dallmayr was famous in my household before I even set foot inside the place....and let's just say it's *totally* worth the hype! A few years ago, Sis was given a bar of Dallmayr Christmas Chocolate - something they only make during the holiday season & it was luv at first bite. You may think, so what, but you don't know that Sis is NOT a chocolate lover so her actually being impressed enough w/ this chocolate to keep the wrapper & try to seek it out is a miracle in itself Flash forward a few years when the Mr learned of this chocolate-nirvana & bought her a bunch for Xmas Flash forward a few more years & I'm actually entering this wonderland of gourmet treats Take Fortnum & Mason, or Selfridges, or any other over-the-top-wonderful foodie's dream & you've got Dallmayr Deli section w/ all kinds of sausage, ham & other meaty bliss Coffee beans & tea leaves galore - scored Sis a few teas w/ jam-parings this visit Chocolate cases filled w/ truffles & other sugary pastries. Got Dad some of their Almond Clusters & Mom scored some of their Hot Chocolate. There is another room holding all kinds of pre-boxed chocolates, chocolate bars & fun animal shapes like ladybugs. Scored the BEST chocolate-honey bar & wished I had bought way more than just the one Room of alcohol - to the likes of Hennessey & their own blends of infused brandies. We got a Pear & Honey Brandy & ended up drinking the whole bottle in 1 sitting - it was so sweet & just a bit flowery from the pears & the honey was subtle undertone that evened it all out.....defintiely need more of this! Locals & tourists alike flock to this place & you'll want to wade through the crowds as well - your treasure awaits!

There is a large variety to choose from here. Whether it be wine, chocolates, pastries, cheeses or real food you'll get lost in variety. There prices are reasonable depending on what you get. I'm always about quality versus quantity. It's always nice to have the quantity with the quality however, doesn't always workout that way. For example, I spent nearly €30,00 on chocolate and pastries alone. Not as a gift. For me to eat personally. No complaints on anything I've purchased. I really like this place and if I lived here I'd probably be here all the time. There is a park right outside. I purchased pastries and chocolates and ate it while admiring the surrounding architectural beauty sitting on a park bench.

Dallmayr is a 2-starred Michelin restaurant that is walking distance from Downtown Munich. Still haven't been able to eat here as I never plan ahead to go to Munich, but one day I definitely will and make a reservation prior. I have, however stopped by for coffee and snacks. The coffee is amazing, as are the desserts. Will update again after I eat here.

I think the best timing to visit Alois Dallmayr, to go there when you feel hungry. The is a lot nice food inside. From meats to vegetables, they have it all. and most of them are really good. Inside Alois Dallmayr beside that, you can also find food in the packages and different kind of coffee, which you can carry it back home or just gifts for you friends and family. It is just like a luxury supermarket. You can also just buy the food which already cooked, and enjoy it aside. I remember the first time when I was here yeas ago, I was kinda impressed by the various options of the food and the history behind it. I found the place itself also very cultural and interested see many different kind of food and ingredients. As such as luxury place, the price of the stuff here generally higher. But for people come here just for traveling, one or two things, it shouldn't any problems, especially when they are really good. Even you didn't find anything here, it is still a cool place to visit. The location of this place isn't that difficult to find. In face just around 3-5 mins on foot from Marienplatz. It is great place to visit for the food lovers.

A must visit in Munich, many beautifully displayed traditional German delicacies, wines, cheeses, specialty coffees, and. Bistro upstairs to enjoy some champagne.

What is the best way to describe Dallmayr? I think foodies and home cooks in Dallmayr are like kids in a candy store. This place offers a wide variety of high quality ingredients typically not found in your average grocery stores. It reminds me of Fortnum and Mason in London, but the specialties are different. I wish there is something similar in the US. Dallmayr houses a number of great dining options as well. Both the Café Bistro and Lukullus Bar are worthy of trying out. I will save the details for cafe bistro in a separate review, but the Lukullus Bar isn't available to review as a separate place. The bar is a great place to relax with champagne and oysters after a long day of walking around the city. I had my share of oysters in US, but they were mostly local varieties from Northern America. This place provided me with a good opportunity to try the European varieties, which I must say were quite good.

Love this spot and I can't believe that in all my times in Munich I haven't even known about it! I wandered in while walking around waiting to meet my colleagues for dinner. The store is gorgeous! The food displays are amazing and I assume delicious based on the amount of locals shopping in there. I walked around and was drooling over all of the displays and food and wished I could bring some items home with me on the plane! I sat at the little cafe/bar/seafood spot and had a glass of wine. The staff was very very nice and the wine was delicious and reasonably priced. Great, gorgeous spot with amazing food, chocolate, and wine!

It is outstanding and a must to visit anytime you are in Munich. The fruit desserts and pastries are great.

Let's face it, if you are a tourist you are most likely going to spend a lot of money in this place but it's well worth it. We ended up at Alois Dallmayr for lunch and I have to say that was one of the most satisfying lunch I had while in Munich. The choices were varied and I settled for fish since I was already getting tired of the more heavy and traditional Bavarian fare and the fish was perfect. After lunch we ended up browsing the market downstairs and stocked up on fancy and expensive gourmet food: chocolate, coffee, tea. I have to say weeks later and back home I have been enjoying and savoring all the goodies I bought on that day. So yep, a must stop by while in Munich and enjoy the food, it's awesome.

Okay first: Ja, Dallmayr ist für die meisten echt teuer, aber es ist auch ein Feinkostladen wo man nicht unbedingt seinen normalen Wocheneinkauf macht. Ich gönne mir ab und an mal eine gute Flasche Roséweine oder Weihnachtsgebäck, bzw kleine Mahlzeiten und dafür ist Dallmayr einfach top.

Loved this food hall. It's not as big as Harrods in London, but still enjoyed my visit very much. The prices were decent and is very easy to locate due to its proximity to the Marienplatz. I would love to return on a future visit.

This is my favorite delicatessen shop in Munich. Dallmayr is actually very famous not only in Munich but allover Germany because they are one of the best known coffee brands. Here you can find any specialty which you can think. The shop is divided into different sections including the main hall with fresh produce, then there's wine and spirits, tea and coffee, pastries, chocolates and sweets. On the first floor you will find a gift store, a cafe and their 2 michelin star restaurant which is opened for dinner only. Service is impeccable, knowledgeable and very friendly even on the busy Saturday.

This place gets REALLY crowded, but shop is worth the visit. I wanted to buy chocolates (as souvenirs), and I found this place through yelp. I was so amazed when I came in, as they didn't just have chocolates, they have just about EVERYTHING! From pastries to chocolates to wines to jams to lunch foods, this place is AMAZING! I ended up buying teas and cakes and chocolates and jams, and my brother got a schnitzel. I originally didn't like schnitzel, but after trying Alois Dallmayr's schnitzel, I 100% changed my mind. Their food here is great, and if you need souvenirs, this is the place to go.

Honestly this place is a nice little gem. It is packed on the inside, however there is so much to chose from. If you are just shopping for some high end ingredients or just looking for a break to have a nice glass of wine, it is the perfect place for both. A diverse selection in top shelf drinks, complemented by an even more complex assortment of cheese, to nice meats from every animal. It's a must at least once if you are In Munich.

Must avoid this place on a weekend and come back and check this place out during the week. Selection is awesome. I must admit I barely made it past the wine shop :-) Pricey but rare wines and spirits available if you have money to burn or, just browse and drool over the great selection ;-)) There are lots of little shops within the big shop (divided into sections) with anything edible you can possibly think of. Great fresh food counter as well and, it reminds of places like Julius Meinl in Vienna, Fortnum and Mason in London or David Jones Food Hall in Sydney just bigger and with more variety. Must come back during the week when it is not crowded and do some sample tasting :-) If you are a tourist in Munich or a foodie then this place is a must visit if nothing else to browse and enjoy the food porn on offer ;-)) Must come back and try the two Michelin star restaurant and, as far as I am aware it is the only food hall around the world that has such a combination.

Luxury on my tongue. Pain in my wallet. Yin and yang. For all the naughty that I do to the delicacies one can purchase here, those delicacies do an equal amount of naughty to my bank account. This place isn't cheap, but it is absolutely the place to go to get a fine delicacy to take back as a souvenir from Munich. This place was originally famous for its coffee and expanded into its current incarnation of excellence in myriad yum-yums under the sharp business acumen of the wife and widow of the founder when he died. Any of their coffee products would be a perfect Munich gift, as would any of their fine chocolates and pastries. I would steer away from their wine section as grossly overpriced. If you're really looking to drop some money, head over to the meats, cheeses, and fish counters. You'll walk away a changed person.

Of all the shops in Munich, my wife wanted to come back here. She was here 20 years ago and wanted to buy some things for our road trip. Wow, great little shop

I know dallmayr is the very famous coffee/deli brand but i think this place is definitely overhyped. Although i found that the chocolate truffles were pretty cheap, other things are overpriced and i dont think they are better than what you can find in an upper-end super market

The Munich response to Harrods. Part food hall, part restaurant/tea room. The downstairs is filled with to-go food options, a well-stocked adult beverage room (always willing to share some free samples with its visitors), a coffee room, a tea room...that allows you to pack your own tea in beautiful tins, a pastry room (the petit fours are almost too pretty to eat...almost), a chocolate room, a fish vendor, a butcher, and more. It's always bustling, and it's always a fun place to stop in and grab a few goodies. Upstairs offers some souvenir type gifts (glasses, mugs, decoratively packaged chocolate, etc...) and of course, the restaurant. I've had some delicious light lunches here, and excellent afternoon tea coupled with delectable desserts.

This is indeed the mega store of upscale market-delis. I mean how many markets also boast a 2* Michelin rstaurant? Dallmayr does. Had there coffee here and around Munich plus their pastries are quite tasty. If i hadnt been traveling so much id like to try their cured meats. Too bad i cant bring it into the states

I can see to some extent how people think this store is overrated, but I'm sorry the name Alois Dallmayr doesn't say cheap! I loved this place, a gourmet heaven! If I had more time, I wouldn't have mind taking my time in each room. Each theme was compartmentalized in its own room. Rooms: Wine, Chocolate, Pastries, Deli, and a Cafe. I like how the Cigar store was in its own nook and had a door to separate it with the main store. I loved their apple tasche. It was so fresh even 2 days later, and it was delicious. I refused to eat another one after that because that one left such a great impression. I went to their cigar shop and picked up a couple for a friend. The representatives in there were so helpful in making a decision. I know that is their job, but clearly I knew very little about cigars (still learning)....I guess what I am trying to say is they could have been snooty about my lack of knowledge. I would definitely visit this store again when I am back in Munich.

High end vittles. So much to see and taste and enjoy, so much luxury and comestable opulence in one place. Great for gifts. Helpful staff, just a bit stiff, but helpful nonetheless. Great for people watching, to enjoy the looks of surprise when the price is seen. Ha! Enjoy!

We came here one day because we were just looking for a cafe to get something to drink and relax for a little while. This came up, so we decided to check it out. We were both happy with what we ordered, but this place is not what we expected. When you first enter, it is a store. They sell all kinds of food items, most of which tend toward the high end. You wouldn't do your grocery shopping here, but if you need something special, or are looking for a gift, this might just be the place for you. We made our way upstairs to the cafe. We enjoyed what we had, but the whole time, it just seemed like this place was shooting for high end, and that they wanted the best of the best. Much of what they had was on the expensive side. We got there around 5, and by the time we left, they looked like they were about to close. Would I go here again? Yes, but I might look for something a little more casual first.

We had come recently from London and compared this luxurious department store to Harrods. Compared to that, it actually wasn't as luxurious, and actually we got quite a decent deal on canned weisswurst in this store to take home to the States (we were a little too anxious to try our luck with fresh vacuum packed weisswurst.) There is an expensive looking champagne bar downstairs and a tearoom upstairs, neither of which we tried. It's definitely worth a look for a taste of old Europe in Munich.

Completely attractive, expensive and worth your time and money! It's a gourmet haven and I spent quite some time and money there. The alcohol, baked goods, chocolates, deli, aber ALLES...it is truly a pleasure to shop there and I can't wait to go back when I go to Munich!

I've been living since years in Munich, but I've been here only twice. Dallmayr is a store with tradition. Yesterday I tried out the Cafe. I had a coffee and a raspberry cake. Quality: excellent, but comparing to other local pastry shops (Cafe Widmann or Cafe Vor Ort) the cake is not really better. Price: expensive Service: professional If you are a tourist you should at least try out the Cafe by taking a cup of coffee and cake. Also you should try the gourmet foods (pralines, canapes and other special foods).

Yes, it's a little bit expensive, but has really a great value. You can really find everything there, form traditional Bavarian food, to bread, from fruit to meet, from chocolate to homemade pasta. And, anything you choose would be highly appreciated. I am a frequent purcheser at the buther's desk, steaks and fillet in particular: they are really amazingly good, and more western style than those you find at usual German butchers, who thend to dry the meat too much. And, in my fridge there are always sigle portions of spinach and cheese ravioli: when I am home sick (I am Italian), I am only 12 minutes (in boiling water) away from home!

Dear Alois Dallmayr, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth of your bakery and homemade walnut bread My soul yearns and reaches for you, when feeling hungry late at night For your gourmet foods, your "Bio-Siegel" produce and exquisite gourmet coffee, makes my being so ever happy I hold you in my ideal grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most distant one, parted by a continent & connected by a Lufthansa flight. I love thee freely, as a free-spirit strives to live in the moment. I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In a few years, and with my childhood's faith, I will one day return to you. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my hungry heart, --- I love thee and thy Dallmayr goods thy makes, Smells, touch, and beautiful Dallmayr produce come back to me. I shall love thee for all my days. I will never forget you and my visit to your store. You hold the very best of all gourmet foods, epicureans bow down to your grand selection, all other stores seem trite. Ich liebe Sie! XOXO, Lisa Marie

Love this store. Great place to scout gifts to bring home. Gourmet coffee, chocolates and sweets mostly but other deli type things and kitchen stuff also. I found their coffee here in a Chicagoland store and I'm hooked on it. They have a smaller location in the Munich airport which is very convenient to grab some things before you board.

Maybe I have been spoiled, but after visiting Harrods and Fortnum &Mason, even the old-time Macy's in NYC, this place just doesn't live up to them. Small inside, there was quite a selection, but I didn't get the rave everyone talks about. We were here over thirty years ago and I don't see that much has changed. I imagine if you are a local you get to know what is good or bad about this place. I did note the prices were better than anticipated. I think of this location more as a local supermarket than a shopping experience. Nonetheless, worth a pop in to look around.

High class, if not touristy. The cookies that I had were fantastic. This is most certainly a gourmet shop and worth checking out. A huge selection of deli meats, baked goods, coffees, teas, wines and more. If you want to pick up some nice gifts, then you will most certainly find something here.

A gourmet shop on the ground floor. And a delicacy bistro & coffee shop on the upper floor. I had lunch....the food is delicious!

If I happen to die before funeral arrangements are made, please take my remains here for a nice, wine-filled, lunch with plenty of people watching and some light shopping afterward. I'll have the salmon to start.

It's difficult to find the words to describe Dallmayr. The first that springs to mind in my case is "grand". I have been to delikatessen-type stores before, but in terms of scope, nothing comes close to Dallmayr, which occupies nearly a block.Which door to use? Which way to go? Every department is hidden in a little nook, on the sides of a central alleyway, which I think, makes the shopping experience cumbersome. I just find the decor dream-like: the stone arcades, the tasteful yet lavish displays, the white and blue uniforms of the staff..I've never seen such beautiful fruits, or such pink salmon. Even more inpressive, they make their own pasta on the premises. A lot of shops do all of this, but Dallmayr does it all and is expected to maintain quality standards. They have their own wine, their own coffee (which apparently is their speciality and is wunderbar), a selection of cigars, a restaurant and a bistro, as well as a selection of dishes to go... The atmosphere is slightly stiff, as you would expect. All the German comments whine about how you only meet tourists here. I can certify that I only heard pure German while in the store.. The shop is an absolute hell for someone like me, who likes pretty presentation: little jars of everything abound. Limoncello and cream, Christmas honey, Gluhwein, advent calendars, all the Stollen you can eat, all in multi-colored paper, and silver bows.. They also carry gjetost cheese, my precious, at really reasonable price! The lack of space is a major downside (be ready to hug everyone coming your way or waiting in line with you). I think when a shop gives you this sort of enchanting experience - at least it does for me - along with quality, then the price is a necessary evil. What is unacceptable is the size of their cakes. They're all too small.

Amazing food! This place is incredible; so much fun to explore! I would recommend having tea or coffee and a dessert in the cafe above the tea section. Excellent service (even though the place was packed for Christmas!), with something on the menu for all cafe lovers. I had a chocolate cake and a chai tea and both were delicious.

Worth the hype!!!!! We enjoyed the individual areas for buying everything, and purchased their most popular tea and coffee, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. We also bought a number of truffles, which are tiny so you can try a lot for a reasonable price :). They were all delicious!!! We also had a cheese pastry which was good. I had a to-go,lunch from the deli of six different kinds of vegetables and my husband and I thought they were all really deliciously prepared, some of the best veggies we've ever had (all served cold in various marinades). The lines were shorter in the morning when we first came to scope it out, but it is more browsers so they move fast!! Whatever you could possible want to buy here to cook or get to go, it is probably here. Great for gifts as they have so many cute packaged sweets in the pastry and chocolate sections, and of course their famous coffees, or teas.

I loved Alois Dallmayer when i visited Munich. It is a family run business and each family member is responsible for a distinct part of the business. There's an extensive coffee and tea section, a bakery section, awesome kitchen gadgets, yummy chocolates and hard candies in beautiful tins, and also a cheese and wine section. i found a lot of easy/light/simple souvenirs i could bring home for foodie family and friends. My only regret is that I didn't get more things here. It's not cheap but I generally found that things in Europe were more expensive. The closest shop i can think of in the US that is like this is Balducci's in NY.

This place is a foodie's dream shop. They have a little bit of everything under one roof - meats, cheeses, chocolates, pastries, pastas. If you love food, Dallmayr is a must visit.
