I have never been a fan of most things pork, so I thought my choices of dining out in German eateries would be limited to salads and Semmelknödel. But I was happy to be wrong when I learned about the vegetarian restaurant, Prinz Myshkin. We went on a late Monday afternoon, so finding a table was not a problem.
The restaurant is spacious with high ceilings and a single open dining space. It has a posh setup with minimalistic wall paintings, simple lighting, and basic chairs and tables with gray couches situated against the walls. It definitely provides a slightly upscale dining environment.
The first thing to notice upon looking at the menu is the price. Salads are mostly 11-14 EUR, and one of their classic dishes, Tofu Stroganoff (tofu with mushrooms in red wine cream sauce with a side of veg and potatoes or Basmati rice), costs 19 EUR!!! This is the MOST expensive vegetarian restaurant that I've ever been thus far in the whole world (and I must emphasize "the whole world")! Perhaps vegetables are delicacies in Munich?!?
I got the "Involtini Teriyaki" (tofu, mushrooms, roasted nuts crumbled and wrapped with chard leaves glazed in teriyaki sauce with a side of whole grain basmati rice) for 18 EUR, and C got the "Moroccan Sunset" (bulgur salad with oranges, tomatoes, parsleys, mints, and red onions) for 11 EUR. The involtini looked and tasted great, but the mushrooms were so minced that I could hardly taste them. The teriyaki sauce was tasty but perhaps slightly overpowering for my palate. The bulgur salad was delicious, but the portion was small. Overall, both dishes were not worth the prices that we paid.
The best part was the dessert. We got the Cassis cake, and it was divine. The smooth Cassis puree paired greatly with the cake part. For 3.50 EUR per slice, that was a much better and worthy bargain.
I am curious enough to go back to try the Stroganoff (and possibly the other classics), and I will definitely go there again for the desserts. I read that they do serve lunch for about 7 EUR--I might try that option as well. But I do hope that there are other vegetarian options where I don't have to dish out +20 EUR per meal.
