( 220 071; Baaderplatz 2; mains €9-18; dinner; Isartor, Isartor)
This Mu-
nich institution is well-loved for its attentive service, expertly prepared food, and dark,
well-stocked hardwood bar containing what must be the Bavarian capital's best selection
of malt whiskeys. The hardly decipherable, handwritten menu hovers somewhere mid-
Alps with anything from schnitzel to linguine and goat's cheese to cannelloni to choose
from.
Conviva €€
(Hildegardstrasse 1; 3-course lunch €8-10, dinner mains €10-15; 11am-1am Mon-Sat;
; Kammerspiele)
The spartan interior and barely dressed tables means nothing dis-
tracts from the great food at this theatre restaurant. The daily changing menus make the
most of local seasonal ingredients and are reassuringly short.
INTERNATIONAL
Einstein €€
(St-Jakobs-Platz 18; mains €9-17; noon-3pm & 6pm-midnight Sat-Thu, noon-3pm Fri;
Marienplatz, Marienplatz)
Reflected in the plate-glass windows of the Jewish Mu-
seum, this is the only kosher eatery in the city centre. The ID and bag search entry process
is worth it for the restaurant's uncluttered lines, smartly laid tables and soothing ambience.

;
Johann-Fichte-Strasse 7; menu from €75; lunch &
dinner Tue-Sat; Dietlindenstrasse)
Tantris means 'the search for perfection' and here,
at one of Germany's most famous restaurants, they're not far off it. The interior design is
full-bodied '70s - all postbox reds, truffle blacks and illuminated yellows - the food gour-
met sublimity and the service sometimes as unintrusive as it is efficient. The wine cellar is
probably Germany's best. Reservations and a fat wallet essential.
Potting Shed €€
(Occamstrasse 11; tapas €2.50-10.50, burgers €11.50-13.90; from 6pm; Münchner
Freiheit)
This relaxed hangout serves tapas, gourmet burgers and cocktails to an easy-go-
