Restaurant Schwarzreiter — Kempinski Munich

Restaurant Schwarzreiter is the main dining room of Munich's Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski hotel on Maximilianstraße, serving elevated Bavarian-European cuisine that pairs the polish of a five-star hotel restaurant with recognisably regional flavours. The menu draws on classic Bavarian ingredients treated with modern technique, and the kitchen is particularly well regarded for its business lunch, which brings five-star cooking within reach of a mid-range price point. The restaurant takes its name from the Bavarian mounted infantry, a nod reflected subtly in the decor, and the dining room itself is refined and comfortable, more contemporary than the traditional Wirtshaus aesthetic, with a calm, professional atmosphere suited to both business meals and leisurely dinners. Smart-casual to smart dress fits the setting. The wine list draws on both German and international producers to match the modern Bavarian-European menu. Given its location on Munich's premier shopping street and hotel-restaurant status, reservations are recommended, and the three-course business lunch at around €38 is considered one of the better values among the city's luxury hotel restaurants.
