Searching for a "culinary hotspot" in Munich?

My insights of a visit to the "IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar Munich"

Hey guys,

sorry for posting the past few weeks nothing new, but you know life can be pretty busy sometimes. I will make up for this, for now Im back with great news on the Asian hot spot to be restaurant everybody talks about in Munich right now.

The restaurant opened up in 2017 with a huge VIP guest list, it is located in the upcoming "Westend" from Munich which is about 5 min from the central station of Munich. It is located in the "roomers hotel" an amazing 5-star-hotel with 281 luxury and modern rooms, which I can recommend you to stay in for sure.

The concept of the "IZAKAYA" is from the Amsterdam Gastro-company called the "Entourage Group". You can find the "IZAKAYA" in three other European cities as well: Amsterdam, Hamburg and Ibiza.

The wonderful restaurant was created by the well known Amsterdam interior office "Concrete". You can feel the Japanese tribute of the interior, without being too much traditional in the details. It has a really cool modern vibe. 

For the perfect entree I can recommend you a glass of bubbly, which tasted really good and is a perfect starter for your evening. 

Speaking about vibes they have also a great DJ set with great taste of music. What I also loved about that place is the open show kitchen, which allows you to see what the kitchen is preparing. The traditional Robata grill is at the heart of the restaurant, giving centre stage to the chefs creating dishes like Temari Sushi, Kombujime, Corn Tempura, slow cooked Short Ribes and some Rabata specialities. Of course you can also choose Sushi or Sashimi seasoned with exotic Peruvian spices. 

The food is the best when you share it, thats also the concept behind the restaurant. Sharing is caring!

Crispy Prawns with creamy curry sauce 

Beef Burger

Corn Tempura

The food itself is heaven, it is mix of authentic Japanese food with a twist of Peruian flavores. Dont miss out the great and special cocktails they offer you.

If you would like to only go for drinks on the bar, for sure this is also a way to enjoy the IZAKAYA in Munich. IZAKAYA translated as "Japanese pub". The word "pub" wouldnt describe this incredible designed bar that good, it is a high-end gastronomic experience. The 360 black stained bar with the onyx marble top offers a spot to sip selcected wines, first class cocktails as well as rare types of Sake. 

One last thing, I can highly recommend you to check also out the dessert IZAKAYA is offering you! Dont miss out on the Bamboo hot choclate pot with green tea ice-cream.

So what are you waiting for ? Place a reservation for your next party, dinner or night out in Munich and experience the revolutionising high-end hospitality from IZAKAYA.

Welcome to the "MASTERS HOME" in Munich, my insights for you!

Masters Home, one of my favorite places to be in Munich!

Hey guys,

do you know the places you experience once and never get out of your mind? This one is definitely one of them.

If you are looking for a place to dine out in Munich, this is your spot. The restaurant "Masters Home" is just fitting every purpose, if it is just to have a drink at night time at the fancy bar, is it to dine out with your favorite person or even for a company dinner.

The place itself is hidden behind the famous "Viktualien market" in central downtown Munich. You walk only 5 minutes from Marienplatz to reach this wonderful location.

The interior is, as "Masters Home" the name is already telling you, a place with great interior all designed in "colonial style", which makes the place really unique and comfy.

When entering the location you need to go down the stairs and arrive right in front of the restaurant, which is separated from the bar areas.

The main bar area is having a huge propeller placed over the bar. The bar covers every drink or cocktail you can wish for. Please don't miss to ask the great bar crew for recommendations. 

From the main bar you can go in different rooms, which are decorated in different styles. So if you don't like to sit at the bar you can take your drink and enter the "library", "sleeping room" or the "bath room". Literally you can take a drink at the bed or the bath tube, which is quite a good location for your social media feed. 

Also the bar is offering pizza from the stone oven, if you don't choose to go to the restaurant. 

The restaurant is separated from the bar area in a wonderful romantic setting with many fresh rose flowers and candles. Make sure you place a reservation before. 

The family "Crocamo" running the Masters Home is a well known gastronomy Italian family in Munich, which is famous for high quality food and style. 

The restaurant has not a normal menu, it offers you much more. At the beginning of the menu you get asked if you have allergies or you don't like any special food. The menu is existing of 8-courses. Each course costs 8,50 Euro and you can jump any time you want to the dessert. 

The food is amazing, so I would always recommend you to try out the menu unchanged. I would say it is typical Italian food touched with modern elements. 

Just take a look at the pictures, it is stunning.

Make sure you also check out the wine recommendations, from the best service, "Silvio", you can ask for.

I also entered the kitchen as I was curious how this fantastic menu is done. Entering the kitchen the team and the boss himself was preparing the dishes. I think one of the things why it is such a wonderful place, because the owners put the heart in every detail.

Im sure we will come back soon and for everybody who hasn't been there, make sure on your next trip to Munich you will visit this amazing restaurant "Masters Home".

Cheers,

Brunch at The Charles Hotel Munich, my insights for you!

Sunday is Brunch day, my insights ! 

 Hey guys,

I just love relaxing on Sundays and what I love especially on Sundays is to brunch. As everybody knows: Brunch without Prosecco is just a sad, late breakfast.

Today I will write about my Brunch experience at the "Sophia's" restaurant @ the famous five-star The Charles Hotel in Munich (Rocco Forte Hotel Collection). 

The Charles Hotel is located in the heart of the city, close to the historic Königsplatz overlooking the peaceful Old Botanical Garden of Munich. 

The entrance of the "Sophia's" restaurant is just to the right of The Charles Hotel. When I entered the hotel lobby the first thing that catched my eye was the wonderful decorated lobby and the modern classy style of the Hotel itself.

The Brunch the Charles Hotel is offering is high end luxury standard, which means you get really everything you could wish for on a high quality food and drink base.

The restaurant "Sophia's" is also really modern and has huge glass fronts overlooking into the Old Botanic Garden in Munich. I really liked the art they decorated around the restaurant. 

The Brunch is set up as a buffet. You can order from your table coffee, tea, orange juice and different dishes as french toast or egg dishes. I ordered a egg benedict, which was excellent. All options are included in the brunch. 

They have a own bakery, which delivers the incredible fresh breads and croissants. You can choose along various cheese, meat, sweets, vegetable and fruit plates on the buffet. Drinks included besides different water options are smoothies, freshly squeezed juices and Prosecco.

You can also buy a voucher for your loved ones from the Hotel for Brunch, I can highly recommend it as a present- because what is more precious then spending time with your loved ones in a beautiful classy surrounding and treat yourself good! 

Brunch is served from 7.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m, the hotel is also offering a kids club which you can check with the hotel.

Make sure you place a reservation before coming to Brunch, as the restaurant is highly busy due to the great quality and service.

High Tea at the Mandarin Oriental in Munich, my insights for you!

Afternoon Tea in classy atmosphere? My insights for you!

Hey guys,

as a teenager I spend many weeks of the year in the UK, what I miss about the most is Londons tea time. I love how the people are obsessed with this wonderful tradition of celebrating tea and time. 

Glad that the Mandarin Oriental is now offering High Tea in Munich, feels like being back in good old England.

They offer High Tea from Friday - Sunday (2.00 - 5.00 p.m.) in their really cozy and modern designed Lounge. Make sure you haven't eaten anything before and you take at least 1,5 hours of your time, as they offer so many fantastic freshly baked products for you to try. Reservation is a must, please see link underneath I attached for contact information.

The Afternoon Tea menue is including beside the amazing range of fresh dishes a tea of your choice. You can ask the amazing service for help, as they have a own tea sommelier which can give you perfect recommendations if your getting lost between all the fantastic choices.  

For tea enthusiasts a special recommendation, ask the tea sommelier for the JING product range. As you can see in the picture they offer you to take a look into different sorts of tea before you order. If you don't know the JING tea, it is only natural - no artificial flavors. Make sure you check out the rose or smoked tea. 

What is fitting perfectly to the High Tea is a glass of bubbly, we decided to have Rose Champagner which I think is the perfect match for celebrating High Tea.
