Galleria

Munich


Munich has a multitude of Italian eateries, but Galleria is a cut above the rest. The compact interior hits you first, a multihued, eclectic mix of contemporary art and tightly packed tables. The menu throws up a few surprises – some dishes contain very un-Italian ingredients, such as curry and coconut. Reservations are pretty much essential in the evening.
