Restaurant CONTI: „Valentine 4 Two“ and „Clownfish“ boxes – There's news from one of my favorite restaurants in Munich, the Conti Restaurant in the city center. I can barely count the years I've been a regular at the Conti Restaurant on one hand. Not only has the food always been delicious, but the unique ideas surrounding culinary experiences and the friendly service have always been fundamental to my visits.

I'm all the more delighted that the restaurant is rolling up its sleeves even during the second lockdown and conjuring up wonderful culinary highlights for us. This will happen again in February (…you remember my delicious New Year's Eve box for two…) in the form of various other box combinations and menus. Curious as I am… – whenever food is involved – I was there, chatted a bit, and inquired about the possibilities of getting a good meal at the Conti in the coming weeks, and took a look at the menus.

The Valentin 4 Two-Box

Valentine's Day is a day that, for many Munich couples in love, is an occasion to pamper and celebrate each year, but which, due to the current situation, we will all unfortunately be spending at home rather than in a nice restaurant. However, thanks to Conti, those looking for small gifts to affirm their love are in luck. They're offering a four-course meal for two in the form of the "Valentine's 4 Two" menu box.

Have you ever tried "Whole artichoke and soup with champagne vinaigrette and chickpea dip"?

A look at the menu. First off: you can order it on Thursday (February 11th) and Friday (February 12th) and pick it up by 11:00 AM, as it's designed so that you only need to heat and plate it, and then enjoy it in a cozy atmosphere by candlelight. In other words, you pick up the box at your own pace and enjoy the Valentine's Day menu together – completely stress-free. (On Saturday, February 14th, the box can be picked up until 2:00 PM.)

The meal begins with a pointed roll with herb butter and olive tapenade – essentially the amuse-bouche usually served before the first course, in this case, salmon tartare with avocado, cucumber spaghetti, and lime caviar. This is followed by a whole artichoke and soup with champagne vinaigrette and chickpea dip. I think that even before the main course, it's noticeable that the Conti has the courage to serve somewhat more unusual dishes and includes ingredients in the menu that you don't find served or offered everywhere. Next comes duck with a French "Banyuls" wine sauce, red cabbage risotto, and Brussels sprout leaves. The vegetarian alternative is fresh ravioli. The menu of love is sealed with a dessert praline featuring nougat, chocolate, and candied apple.

The Conti Restaurant has thought of everything, including the ambiance. You'll receive a wine recommendation (Cava Brut "Nu allongé" from Rindchens Weinkontor for €8.90) and, optionally, a long-stemmed red rose (from the flower shop "Zur Blume" for €7) with your meal box. Menu, wine, and flowers – you're responsible for the rest of the day/evening. 🙂

It's also worth mentioning that the box comes with easy-to-understand instructions, and delivery within a 3 km radius is offered for five euros. You can order the menu as a three-course meal (for €49) or a five-course meal (for €69). For an additional ten-euro deposit, your meal will be provided in an environmentally friendly ovenproof dish.

So, what do you say? Sounds great, doesn't it? Of course, anyone who isn't interested in Valentine's Day can still get the box, or take advantage of it at the next opportunity to treat themselves to some culinary delights.

From Wednesday (February 17th) to Friday (February 19th), you can pick up or have delivered a very special menu, again in three or five courses for the same prices. What's on offer? – Clownfish! This second option for the ToGo box features another fantastic menu creation. I was also able to sneak a peek: The meal starts with olive ciabatta with pistou, followed by butterfish ceviche with snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, and lime cream.

A delicious menu awaits you with the Clownfish Menu Box

The next course is one of my culinary favorites – a bouillabaisse with plenty of garnish and a rouille crust. Absolutely delicious. For the main course, there's boneless sea bass for two, accompanied by root vegetables, diced potatoes, and aromatic herbs. I personally love good fish; what about you? The sweet finale consists of apple and fritters with pomegranate and Boskoop apple caramel, vanilla sauce, and small buttermilk fritters. A glass of wine is also recommended to accompany the clownfish menu, specifically a 2018 Pinot Gris (Dönnhoff) (€15).

So, which menu box will you choose? Or will you even try both? (I promise that no one will notice if you're not actually in love with it and still buy the box... ;-)) Have fun and enjoy!.
