The more casual sibling restaurant to the legendary Tantris, also in the same Schwabing building, serving a creative bistro-style menu that captures the Tantris spirit at more accessible prices. A superb option for a memorable meal without the full tasting menu commitment.
Tantris DNA is the more casual sibling to the legendary Tantris, sharing the same landmark 1970s brutalist building in Munich's Schwabing district but operating as a bistro-style restaurant rather than a full tasting-menu experience. The kitchen, working from the same lineage as the two-Michelin-star Tantris, serves a creative, seasonally driven menu at more accessible prices — a way to taste the Tantris philosophy without the multi-hour commitment of the main restaurant. The dining room carries some of the same retro-futurist design language, though in a more relaxed, informal register suited to a lunch or a lighter dinner rather than a special-occasion evening. Dress is smart-casual. The wine list, while shorter than the main restaurant's extensive cellar, is well chosen and reasonably priced by the glass. Tantris DNA is a useful fallback for visitors who find the main restaurant fully booked, and its lunch set menu is considered the best-value way into the Tantris orbit. Reservations are recommended, though generally easier to secure than at the flagship restaurant next door.
