This fine dining restaurant boasts an exclusive location in the famous Maximilianstraße, more precisely within the legendary Munich luxury hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, complete with its own entrance from the street. The atmosphere is elegant without being stuffy; indeed, the sophisticated, modern and chic interior makes for a pleasingly urban ambience. The approachable and well-trained front-of-house team, who are always attentive and courteous but by no means intrusive, is the perfect fit. Then there is the cosmopolitan cuisine of Franz-Josef Unterlechner, who uses top-notch ingredients from the region and beyond. The Balfego tuna cheek, white onion, Alba truffle, for example, showed us how successfully he brings to life his own ideas. A good all-day alternative, should you need one, is the pleasant Tagesbar, where the food is cooked by the same team. Incidentally, the name ‘Schwarzreiter’ comes from a small fish from the Königssee.
