Tantris Michelin-starred Restaurant – There are moments when you feel incredibly close to heaven. For me, often all it takes is a good meal – what else? And if it's an excellent, not just good, Wiener Schnitzel made with veal, served with warm potato salad and followed by fluffy Kaiserschmarrn with vanilla ice cream, then happiness is complete. That's exactly how I felt recently during my visit to the Michelin-starred restaurant Tantris. Yes, that's right… Tantris serves Wiener Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn.

Tantris is, of course, best known and stored in our minds as a two-Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant, rather than a Wiener Schnitzel hotspot. And that's how it's meant to stay, with the focus remaining on exceptional and exquisite set menus as well as outstanding à la carte creations. From Tuesday to Friday, for example, three- to five-course business menus are available at lunchtime starting from €95 (with wine pairing from €130). In the evening, five-course menus are available from €175 or eight-course menus from €215 (with wine pairing from €300), and on Saturday afternoons, four courses are offered from €120 (with wine pairing from €160). Groups of up to five people can also order individual classic dishes from the legendary chef Hans Haas à la carte (appetizers, fish, meat, desserts). Which brings us back to my Wiener Schnitzel.

This, combined with the fact that it was served – as it should be – as two small, individual schnitzels with a golden-yellow and firm breading, was simply heavenly. No, really, the meat was beautifully tender and, at about 1 cm thick, the ratio of breading to meat was just right when chewing, and the breading didn't fall off when cutting the meat. Combined with the lukewarm potato salad with spring onions and radishes, it was a dream. The cranberries, of course, were also served in generous quantities in the gravy boat, the potato salad separately in a small bowl. And afterwards, yes, there was Kaiserschmarrn for me. It, too, was wonderful – beautifully light and airy, and pulled apart, just as it should be. Served with creamy vanilla ice cream, it was the perfect combination of hot and cold. The portion was perfectly balanced and just right after the schnitzel. Just take a look at the pictures; they speak for themselves.

How to get Wiener Schnitzel at the Tantris Michelin-starred restaurant

Before you all get all dressed up and shout "One Wiener Schnitzel, please!" at Tantris – stop, stop, stop! As I said, it's not on the menu, and anyone who wants to enjoy it (…which I highly recommend…) should, no, must, pick up the phone beforehand and let them know they'd like to try it. Hans Haas, culinary luminary and head chef at Tantris for 25 years, is happy to prepare it for Tantris guests, but it must be requested in advance. The Wiener Schnitzel, as you see it, costs €48, and the Kaiserschmarrn is €24. Of course, these are the two-Michelin-star prices, but anyone who treats themselves to this will likely have other things on their mind after the first bite. So…and while I'm now going to work on my best-of lists…„The best Wiener Schnitzel in Munich“" and "„The best Kaiserschmarrn in Munich“I’m tinkering around (…I need to add something there) 😉I can highly recommend visiting Tantris. Some time ago, my companion and I enjoyed a multi-course meal there and gained wonderful insights into the cuisine as well as the excellent wine recommendations (from the sommelier). Justin G. Leone) and -card. Treat yourself and next time you're looking for top-class fine dining, think of me, Tantris and (with advance notice!) the Wiener Schnitzel.

Ah yes… I received two small "greetings from the kitchen" before my schnitzel. This should give you a first impression and whet your appetite for more. Here you see yellowfin tuna on pumpernickel cream with horseradish mousse and sesame marinade, as well as a poached egg yolk with Imperial Gourmet caviar and Sauce Mignonette – a light peppercorn sauce. Perhaps I'll tell you more about the food and drink at the Tantris Michelin-starred restaurant soon; of course, I wanted to share this experience with you beforehand.
