This exclusive eatery in the Bavarian National Museum seems to have taken few, if any, design cues from the art that fills the museum halls. Rather than mimicking its oft-ornate artefacts, the restaurant has gone for a pared-down look that, thanks to use of mixed woods and earthy tones, manages a distinct air of elegance. Whether from the tasting menu or à la carte, dishes like sweet corn soup or black-feather hen baked in bread are – both visually and viscerally – cutting-edge, as is the superb wine selection.
