ViniPuri2.0 – Fine Dining & the best wines – I discovered ViniPuri2.0, a restaurant focused on Northern European cuisine with a modern twist, through the „Wine and Dine“ event series launched in January 2018. The event focused on both ViniPuri2.0 itself and its delicious tasting menu: four courses, four wines, and even more reasons for me to return.Read more about the event hereThat was indeed the case, and I took a closer look at the restaurant and its surroundings. As a guest, you can expect hospitality par excellence, fantastic three- or five-course menus in the fine dining area, and numerous special wines from small wineries.

The ViniPuri2.0

The ViniPuri2.0 concept

There are countless restaurants, and good food abounds in Munich, yet somehow you always end up going to the same places. ViniPuri2.0, with its well-thought-out concept, demonstrates that you might miss out on some of the city's hidden gems if you stick to the same old routine. Divided into a wine bar (max. 70 people), a fine dining area (max. 70 people, always by reservation), and a wine shop, as well as a sunny terrace for 60 more guests, ViniPuri2.0 exudes a pleasant atmosphere and a wordless "You are welcome" from the moment you step inside. This is undoubtedly due in part to the hospitality and warmth extended by the two owners, Brigitte and Carlo.

As a guest, you are completely free and relaxed to decide what you'd like. Three courses? Five courses? Just a glass of wine? Or snacks and a bottle of select wine to share? – Everything is possible at ViniPuri2.0, and each area is unique and meticulously designed. The food is also exceptionally good. ViniPuri2.0 doesn't call itself a classic wine bar or a fine dining restaurant. It's designed to be enjoyable. And, of course, delicious. This applies to wines by the glass as well as set tasting menus in the fine dining area at the back. If you enjoy the wine, you can also purchase it in the integrated wine shop.

Another great thing: The tables at ViniPuri2.0 are spaced far apart. Conversations from the next table stay there, and your own conversation remains confined to your companions. Subtle music creates the perfect atmosphere for dining without drowning out conversation – a common problem in Munich restaurants.

One of four courses I've already had the pleasure of enjoying.

Food, ingredients, cuisine

The cuisine is (Northern) European with a Mediterranean touch, always with the courage to take things a step further. Classics are reinterpreted, and dishes and wines are combined that may be unfamiliar to the palate. The current five-person kitchen team will be led from April 1st by Christoph Mezger, former head chef of the vegetarian restaurant Tian at the Viktualienmarkt. The exact menu is still undecided. What is certain is that it will be creative, varied, and special. Meat and fish lovers are just as welcome as vegetarians and vegans – individual requests will be gladly accommodated. The focus is always on top quality products, sourced as much as possible from small farms and suppliers – ideally from the region, and always fresh and of the highest quality. Organic ingredients and Slow Food products are also used. The cuisine also impresses with its boldness in new combinations.

The food is always fresh and of high quality.

A look at the maps

A business lunch is offered from 11:45 am. Light dishes, also made with high-quality ingredients, are served quickly at the table. Of course, a glass of wine is gladly offered or recommended upon request. Soups start at €8, and main courses at lunchtime (salads, pasta, meat, fish) range from €11.50 to €17.50. The wine bar menu, which changes every two to three weeks (from 6:30 pm), is divided into "Snacks" (from €5.50), "Colds and Cheese" (from €13.50), "Salads and Tapas" (from €8.90), "Soup and Pasta" (from €9.50), "Fish" (from €23.50), "Meat" (from €18.50), and "Desserts" (from €9.50). The menus can be viewed on the website (linked below), as well as the weekly changing business lunch menu.

The fine dining menu (three courses for €49.50 / five courses for €75) doesn't change on a fixed schedule. The menu is based on ingredient availability and seasonality. Courses are constantly being exchanged, replaced, or modified. So here too: variety.

I'll go into more detail about the wines after my upcoming review of the fine dining menu with wine pairings – the table is already reserved. Let me just say that ViniPuri has something special in store for every wine lover. Any 0.75l bottle from the wine list will be opened for just one glass per person (with a minimum order of three glasses). Regardless of the bottle's price, it's served by the glass.

Over 300 wines are offered.

Wine tastings and events

Those who want to be at the forefront can't afford to be complacent, especially in the fast-paced world of gastronomy. ViniPuri sets the example with its constant stream of innovations on the food and wine menu – in other words, on the plate and in the glass. In addition, they regularly host interesting events centered around enjoyment, culinary arts, and wine. Wine tastings are available for booking for two or more people. "Stiff wine tastings," which might put off the "not-yet-professional" wine connoisseur, are not part of ViniPuri 2.0. Instead, in a relaxed atmosphere, participants are given the attention they deserve, and wine knowledge (and appreciation) is conveyed in a playful and informative way.Here Learn more about the wine tastings – with or without culinary accompaniment.) You can also rent ViniPuri.2.0 for your private and business events. Thanks to the division into different areas, both small and large groups (up to a maximum of 300 (!) guests) are welcome.

Hard facts and personal opinion

ViniPuri 2.0 thus offers a truly coherent concept. The location, the ambiance and atmosphere, the food on the plate, and the wine in the glass, combined with the fair price-performance ratio, all contribute to this success. It's no wonder that just three-quarters of a year after opening in mid-October 2017, ViniPuri already boasts numerous returning regulars who can't imagine life without its culinary delights. You should already have gotten a sense of ViniPuri 2.0 from my report. I enjoyed my visit so much that I've already reserved a table in the fine dining area for the coming weeks, including a set menu and wine pairings. The focus will be on the wines – well over 300 different bottles. I'm excited and will report back. Feel free to drop by beforehand – parking is also no problem, as there are dedicated ViniPuri 2.0 parking spaces in the underground garage. Whether you're looking to soak up some sun on the quiet terrace after work, enjoy a set menu, or simply have a glass of wine to end the day. Everyone is welcome. Once you're there, falling in love happens quickly.
