Tantris

Frommer's Review

Tantris serves Munich's finest cuisine. Chef Hans Haas was voted the top chef in Germany in 1994, and, if anything, he has refined and sharpened his technique since winning that honor. His penchant for exotic nouvelle carries him into ever-greater achievements. No restaurant in Munich comes close to equaling this place, not even Boettner's. The setting is unlikely: a drab commercial area, with bare concrete walls and a garish decor. But once inside, you're transported by the fine service, beautiful interior, and excellent food that's a treat for the eye as well as the palate. Leading Munich businesspeople like to entertain here. The cooking is both subtle and original. Choice of dishes is wisely limited: There's an eight-course menu that changes daily, plus a five-course table d'hôte (fixed-price menu), served at noon. You might begin with one of the interesting soups, or a terrine of smoked fish served with green cucumber sauce, then follow with classic roast duck in mustard-seed sauce, or a delightful concoction of lobster medallions on black noodles. These dishes show a refinement and attention to detail, plus a quest for technical perfection, that is truly rare anywhere.
