Taste of Munich – From August 3rd to 6th, the English Garden will be transformed into a gourmet paradise for four days. "Taste of Munich" is the name of the event, and for the first time, the world's most indulgent culinary festival ("Taste Festivals") is coming to Germany. In the unique setting of the English Garden, Munich's Michelin-starred chefs, such as Diethard Urbansky (Restaurant Dallmayr, 2 Michelin stars) and Dominik Käppeler (Showroom, 1 Michelin star), along with innovative talents, will create the "Taste of Munich" with their culinary artistry. Numerous restaurants, bars, master classes, and a show stage will make Germany's finest gastronomic destinations accessible to everyone under the open sky. Cool, right?

Taste of Munich: Munich's Michelin-starred cuisine as a grand celebration

The concept of "Taste of Munich" is simple yet brilliant: to bring the city's best and most innovative chefs out of their own kitchens for four days and let them cook under the open sky. Near the Eisbach wave, in the "Hirschanger" area of the English Garden, an open-air arena is being created for Michelin-starred chefs, Munich newcomers, and creative minds. "The 'Taste of Munich' festival is a special calling card for the city of Munich and showcases what Munich's top restaurants and producers are capable of," says Mayor Josef Schmid, patron of the culinary festival.

Visitors to "Taste of Munich" can expect tasting-style dishes priced between €5 and €8, offering the opportunity to sample the full spectrum of culinary ingenuity. The "Taste of Munich" festival spans the spectrum from culinary excellence to extraordinary creativity, featuring chefs such as Diethard Urbansky (Restaurant Dallmayr), Dominik Käppler (Showroom), Holger Stromberg (*KUTCHiiN), Bernd Arold (Der Gesellschaftsraum), Michael Hüsken (Sophia's Bar & Restaurant), Christoph Mezger (Tian), and restaurants like Schwarzreiter, Vu Tang Kitchen, Dallmayr with its new deli concept, and world champion pastry chef Andrea Schirmaier-Huber.

A delightful paradise in the English Garden

Over the four days of culinary delights, the organizers from IMG GmbH expect approximately 20,000 guests in the Hirschanger area of the English Garden. On an area of 20,000 m², the brilliant individual chefs from Munich's kitchens will come together to create a vibrant atmosphere, reflecting the city's unique flair. Sustainability is also a top priority for the event: from a sophisticated concept and set of measures to protect the lawn and tree roots to the use of reusable tableware and glassware. The "Taste of Munich" festival aims to capture the unique character of Munich, bringing together the city's best chefs in its most beautiful setting, offering the finest drinks, tastings, and hands-on cooking workshops, fostering conversation and a true appreciation for the city's flavors.

Coffee lovers will also be catered for, with illy, the exclusive coffee partner, bringing Italian coffee culture to life with "Live Happilly" at its own barista bar.
