Restaurant Showroom — Restaurant in Munich

I'm not fine-dining type of person and went there with my gf just to try out Michelin restaurant at least once in my life. We had a booking directly at the opening time at 6pm. In short, I can say it was way better than I would expect and we really liked it.

We had full-course 8-dishes menu, in reality it was 12 dishes (including post-dessert compliment and three initial "pre-starters"). The whole meal lasted for a bit longer than 3 hours.

Staff speaks quite good English, before the meal we had the chef introducing himself and asking about our preferences. This was really essential given that we took "surprise menu". Combination of flavours is incredible, we would never imagine such combos are possible. Just to have few examples: very rare steak with banana chips; fish soup with peanut butter-like creme; artichoke ice cream with celery and so on... And everything was so delicious! In the beginning, the dishes were going really quick, so I started to think we could make it in 2 hours, but after ~4-5 dishes it got way slower, probably because other tables started to get full of people (we were the first ones to start). Nevertheless, 3 hours looks also okay, though we got too tired in the end, 9pm is really late and we wanted to sleep already. We got a separated table for two, but there were some kind of joined tables on the other side, I could imagine how uncomfortable it can be of you go for dinner for two and end up sitting between random strangers. Also the people there as well as the waitress speaking to them were super loud, like in some Italian bar. While we cannot do anything about the visitors, the staff for sure shouldn't be so loud like in a bar.

And some note for owners - it was getting really hot inside and not enough air, especially after 8pm. There was like air purifier device at the entrance and it was glowing all red showing 2000+ppm and huge CO2 levels. I think it should be actually used, or at least some windows can be opened, otherwise it's just too stuffy inside.

Anyway, it was a great experience, we liked everything a lot, thanks for...

A Michelin-Star Dining Every dish is a masterpiece, a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that tantalizes the palate. The meal began with a delightful aperitif: a refreshing combination of fear, sage, oat flakes, and ginger that awakened the senses. The amuse-bouche, a Jerusalem artichoke with white chocolate, cranberry, and chili, was a surprising and delicious start to the evening. The second amuse-bouche, kale with buttermilk and smoked trout, was a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The starter, a chervil bulb with saffron, sweetbreads, and pomegranate, was a standout. The flavors were complex and the dish was beautifully presented. The pumpkin soup with lime, banana, turbot, and mustard was a unique and delicious combination. The vegetarian options were equally impressive. The kohlrabi with coconut, pistachio, and butter was a light and refreshing dish, while the chestnut with orange, radicchio, horseradish, and cottage cheese was a more substantial and satisfying option. The main course, Wagyu beef with potato, root beer, mandarin, vanilla, and shallot, was a symphony of flavors. The beef was cooked to perfection and the accompanying flavors were both bold and subtle. The dessert, mango with sesame, cream cheese, passion fruit, and coriander, was a fitting end to the meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors was unexpected and delightful. [Restaurant Name] is a truly exceptional dining experience. The food is innovative and delicious, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is elegant...

Our experience at Showroom was outstanding. They clearly deserve their Michelin star - the food and wine pairing were excellent enough to deserve even more. Every one of the seven courses, three amuses gueules, and the sweet bites at the end were excellent: beautifully plated, with unusual flavour profiles that worked every time. The wine pairings were mainly of lesser known wines but of very high quality, also in many cases with unusual profiles but which worked very well with each course. We have very rarely had a dining experience like this where every course and pairing were great, but were never disappointed here. Perhaps the only element holding them back from more stars is the atmosphere. Multiple Michelin star restaurants are often fitted out with opulent decor and servers that are highly professional but a bit overly formal. However, for us, Showroom is better than that. The dining room has a simple, comfortable elegance, and our server/sommelier was professional, attentive, and highly personable. The result was a very relaxing, comfortable, and exciting dinner with many “wow” moments. The cost was significant, but well worth it. A pleasant element for us was that there is no menu so each course was a surprise. A nice touch was to give us a card listing all the courses and wine pairings...
