Austernkeller

Frommer's Review

This "oyster cellar" is a delight to both visitors and locals. You get the largest selection of oysters in town here, and many gourmands make an entire meal just of Austernkeller's raw oysters. Others prefer them elaborately prepared -- for example, oysters Rockefeller. A delectable dish to start is the shellfish platter with fresh oysters, mussels, clams, scampi, and sea snails. Or you might begin with a richly stocked fish soup or cold hors d'oeuvres. French meat specialties are offered, but most guests prefer the fish dishes -- no other chef in Munich can make a lobster thermidor as good as that served here. The restaurant, under a vaulted ceiling, has a refined atmosphere, and it makes successful attempts at genuine elegance; but because of a collection of everything from plastic lobsters to old porcelain, the decor comes off as a bit kitschy. However, the service is attentive, and you'll enjoy your meal.
