Restaurants in Jena travels to Munich

After some tough time in Jena the crew of "Restaurants in Jena" decided to take all its hunger to Munich. During our very short stay there we tested two places that were recommended to us by a local physicist ;)

Taklamakan

This restaurant which is placed very close to the Munich Hauptbahnhof has options in the menu from more than one Asiatic country. It looks like a kebap place but it has far more to offer. The menu was actually huge and most of the dishes offered were lamb based. The disappointment came when more than one of the options we wanted to order were sold out.

From our choices, the kebap looked most promising because it came on a stick which is usually a sign of authentic food. It was well seasoned yet a bit chewy. It came with some rice which was deliciously seasoned with vinegar. But both the regular and vegetarian döner we ordered were below average.

One very interesting feature of this restaurant was the self made pasta. You can actually watch the process of preparation, but we were not impressed by the taste.

Our veredict: Surprising but not all convincing

Tokami

This restaurant located opposite to the Museum Brandhorst offers japanese food. From the outside it looks like a boring restaurant but when you get in you are welcome by an elegant interior.

Before you get to order the waiter offers you some nicely warmed towels with aroma to freshen up and wash your hands. This is a great way to start because what follows is out of the ordinary.

The menu has a lot to offer including value lunch meals. We tested a very wide variety of dishes and they were all excellent.

This restaurant is not one of the cheapest but you can be delighted and satisfied for around 15 Euro per person.

Our verdict: this sushi is worth a 400 km trip
