Zur Gruam Munich

Zur Gruam

Get lost in pit

"Zur Gruam" Munichis was once a place where many illegal and suspicious activities took place but has now turned into a bar, with a dangerous nostalgia.

The Flushing Meadows Munich

The Flushing Meadows

Matchpoint

"The Flushing Meadows" in Munich reminds me of tennis, not a hotel with a rooftop bar. The point is that it's one of the best hidden rooftops in the city.

"Jennerwein" in Munich has been around since before the turn of the century and looks like a hunter's home, with deer antlers and a cosy bar...

Bar Centrale Munich

Bar Centrale

La dolce vita a Monaco

"Bar Centrale" proves the saying that Munich is Italy's northernmost city. I do believe it's impossible to get more Italian outside Italy than this.

The Italian Shot Munich

The Italian Shot

Pizzas worth dying for

"The Italian Shot" is a Munich restaurant for true fans of pizza. Last time I got a pizza with parma ham, figs, honey-roasted walnuts and goat's cheese.
