Tantris

Tantris’ 1970s retro-chic interior is the real deal – it hasn’t changed since it opened in 1974, and since its inauguration, it’s always held at least one Michelin star. Currently, the famous restaurant (which has trained some of Germany’s most lauded chefs) has two stars under head chef Hans Haas, who has been at the helm for over 25 years. However, the restaurant is set to close at the end of 2020, as the building requires extensive renovations, so if you want to get in before it shuts its doors, you’ll have to be quick.

Recently reimagined as a trio of restaurants under one roof, Tantris, which has been around since 1971, has smartly broadened its range of modern French culinary offerings. There's the classic Restaurant Tantris, with its pricey prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus of haute cuisine (around €300 per person); Tantris DNA, featuring an upscale à la carte lunch and dinner menu; and Tantris Bar, serving cocktails and a short menu of French favorites like beef tartare.

With two Michelin stars, a history that stretches back to 1971 and a retro design scheme to match, Tantris is Munich’s can’t-miss restaurant for those who are interested in fine dining. “It’s probably the most important restaurant in Germany,” says Rolff. As the story goes, the founder of Tantris stole its first head chef away from the Kennedys.

Fine dining in Munich is focused around a couple of very classical institutions, the ones worth mentioning are Tantris (two Michelin stars) and Atelier Hotel Bayerischer Hof (two Michelin stars) and if you’re interested in investing some serious cash in your meal, these are the places to go. The bistrofication trend, where finer dining food is made available in casual settings, is really not a big thing in Munich yet. There are a couple of exceptions worth mentioning though, like the Gastrobar Kopper where an International mix of funky dishes are served alongside a serious cocktail menu.

Not just because of the bright orange carpets on the ceiling, and because words such as: AFFENDURST (raging thirst), WEINSELIG (merry with wine) und DIONYSISCH (Dionysian) glare out visibly from afar in gold above guests' heads; but also, and actually only, because of its wine menu. Like a chronicle, it tells the story of the passion of the Eichbauer family and their sommeliers dating back almost five decades. The restaurant owes the treasures in its Schwabing cellar to its founder Fritz Eichbauer who, in 1971, started his epicurean adventure with an unbelievable 35,000 bottles.

Seit 1971 überzeugt das „Tantris“ mit exzellenter Küche und gleichbleibendem Qualitätsanspruch. Das „Tantris“ ist eine Ikone der französischen Haute Cuisine, bietet unter der Leitung von Benjamin Chmura moderne Interpretationen mit zwei Menüoptionen von vier bis sechs Gängen mittags und sechs bis acht Gängen abends. Die Küche zeichnet sich durch handwerkliche Raffinesse und den Fokus auf hochwertige Produkte aus, während das stilvolle Ambiente und der erstklassige Service das kulinarische Erlebnis abrunden.

The listed 1970s building which houses legendary foodie mecca Tantris in Schwabing district has achieved cult status in Munich. The building is one of the city’s most prominent examples of post-war architecture, and the establishment itself is considered to be the birthplace of award-winning German gastronomy. The name Tantris means “the quest for perfection”, and for many years the creation of perfect culinary delights has been the mission of star chefs Eckard Witzigmann and Heinz Winkler.

Style / Ambiance: A true piece of art in terms of restaurant architecture and design, Tantris boasts a striking Asian theme of contrasting reds and blacks along with oriental sculptures by famous architect Justus Dahinden. Along with artwork throughout, natural materials complement this venue’s aesthetic. Perfected by Mr. Hans Haas, one of the most renowned chefs in the country, Tantris has held two Michelin stars since 1974, the longest period of any restaurant in Germany.

One of only two restaurants in Munich with two Michelin stars, Tantris remains the foodie temple in the city; the building it’s been housed in since the 1970s, in Schwabing, was recently landmarked. The backdrop is a dramatic (and definitely retro) mix of China red, black and orange; the menu is a seasonal, classic French-Mediterranean affair, with multiple courses and a tome of a wine list. There’s also a small Tantris outpost in the Schrannenhalle near Viktualienmarkt.

Voted among the 50 best restaurants in the world and awarded with two Michelin stars, Tantris is celebrated as the most renowned restaurants in Munich, one of the best in Germany, and one of the finest in continental Europe. Specializing in Asian-inspired seafood, the restaurant is glowing in orange and yellow with a surprisingly kitschy 70s ambience. But don't be fooled by its design, the food is its real statement piece.

A true icon of the restaurant scene with bold 1970s decor, this is where German haute cuisine was created. Sitting in the fluffy orange original interior, you feel like you’ve been transported back to the days of Munich’s jet set while enjoying chef Benjamin Chmura’s French-inspired, yet contemporary, cuisine.

Benjamin Chmura, 35, stepped into the big shoes of Hans Haas at Tantris and cooked his way to two stars, which he has now defended for the third time. He is also the only chef in Munich to simultaneously hold stars for two restaurants. After the departure of his colleague Virginie Protat as head chef at the sister restaurant Tantris DNA, he also took over as head chef there and successfully defended its one star.

Best Continental Cuisine: Tantris (tel. 089/3619590), in Schwabing, serves the city's most refined cuisine, a treat to the eye as well as the palate.

It really is'nt cheap, but it is Munich's best restaurant (Except from maybe Dallmayr, but they are a little buit arrogant) and one of the best in whole Germany - Two Michelin stars!. You can expect to spend about € 200-250 per person for the menu but it's totally worth it.

One of the best restaurants in Germany, Tantris offers exceptional value for a two-Michelin-star restaurant. Midweek you can get a 5-course evening menu including white and red wine for 150 € per person. The decor is eastern inspired with a red and black color scheme and original sculptures by renowned Swiss artist Bruno Weber .

Like the entire Tantris Maison Culinaire, the bar is iconic. The 70s design, the red lamps and the sparkling silver ceiling provide an extraordinary setting for the tremendous hospitality and perfect cocktail craftsmanship of Jörg Krause & team. The bar menu and Tantris wine list are also top-notch.

Im vergangenen Jahr hat das Tantris eine Pause eingelegt - der langjährige und legendäre Chefkoch Hans Haas war zuvor in den Ruhestand gegangenen, man wollte sich neu sortieren. Nun hat Benjamin Chmura den Posten des neuen Chefkochs eingenommen und sich gleich zwei Sterne erkocht.

Restaurant Tantris is considered probably the best luxury restaurant in Munich. Both outside and inside, its style is reminiscent of a James Bond movie from the seventies. All decor is in red and black colors, and the tables are garnished with golden-yellow lamps.

Restaurant Tantris is my Alma Mater and the reason I came to Germany. Tantris is basically the Bocuse of Germany, one of the most prestigious restaurants in the country. It has a crazy interior with a timeless 70s’ flare, designed by a Swiss cathedral architect.

Tantris ** (classic cooking, cool 70ty design and a very good wine list (best in the city, city center prices) with all the famous producers, good Coravin offers), great selection of Selosse with different Deg. Dates), great Leroy, d’Auvenay and DRC selection

It is a restaurant produced by a famous German chef. The dishes look nothing special. The level of the entrance is very strong. They are all seafood-based. The prawns are very good. The lobsters are also delicious. The octopus salad mustard sauce is great.

Two individuals at our table did not eat one of their eight courses and that's when the attitude came out. They came to our table, rolled their eyes, shrugged their shoulders and made several comments. Even asked if we would like smaller portion sizes.
