Essneun - Munich

This is one of the most talked about restaurants in Munich offering fusion food with a wild mix of ingredients. Beware, the quality of the food is abysmal. The fish I had stank and I was sick for two days.

had dinner there not too long ago and was quite impressed. a refreshing change from all things pig-based. unusual combination of flavours that requires an open mind and a slight sense of adventure (since you have no clue what you are actually ordering...) but the result is impressive and rare in MUC. the staff were friendly and helpful and the decor is funky. I would definitely recommend it!

Just had dinner there last night, after passing by there a few times previously and seeing the nice interior deco (see photos on their website) and a full house. Quite impossible to get a table on Friday nights, so book in advance. Had a starter and a main dish, the waiters are nice, service is great (although can be a bit slow when the place is full) - one guy (maybe the cook?) speaks English, and they make it a (surprisingly nice!) habit to present each dish -- tell you the ingredients, etc. They really do fusion food, as the waiter say: surf & turf, means you get a fish/seafood with some meat. The cocktails are also exotic, and the breadsticks that come before the meals come with some exotic carrot sauce dip with some small exotic yogurt drink. I spent €45 for two persons (2 cocktails, 1 appetizer that's as good as a main dish €10, and one main dish €20). I recommend it for the ambience (jazz music, great lighting), the service, and the exotic tastes. A bit pricey, but I'd go there again. :)

I went here last night and it was a terrible rip-off. The food was unusual but very average for the price and small portions. It came to €120 for two of us (pretty shocked)- the water is €8 per bottle !! Menu is complicated and difficult to read - they have a whole menu which is spoken and not written! You end up not knowing what you are eating or have ordered and they brought one of our group the wrong meal. But it's really the drinks where they stiff you - be careful if you try this place. On the plus side, the breadsticks and dip were good and the decor is qiute cool...
