麻辣煮義 (Malazhuyi) is like a gateway to the fiery Sichuan in Munich. Its name is a pun that speaks both the “spicy way of cooking” (zhǔ yì 煮义) and “spicy ideas” (zhǔyì 主意). While many Sichuan spots in Munich offer Málàtàng (Sichuan-style hotpot-soup), finding authentic 麻辣香锅 (Málà Xiāngguō) is not as easy. And that’s true grail

Located close to the bustling Frankfurt MyZeil is the “new-old” name causing delicious, German-winter-long queues. Shanghai Nudelbar 上海屋 might be the new sign above the door, but inside you may recognize the nostalgic flavors. Yes – it’s run by the very same owner and chef from Feinschmecker 好味道.

Beyond the well-trodden path to Hanssam, Arisu is another go-to when we crave Korean food in Munich. Arisu has a simple and warm décor.

Anticipation buzzes when a notoriously hard-to-please friend leans in and says, “You have to try this place. It’s one of the best.” That was us, hearts pounding and stomachs ready, heading into Fan Restaurant (范儿) in Munich. This spot isn’t the realm of uniform, heavy sauces and one-note Sichuan fire you so often encounter in Chinese restaurants across Germany.
Some places become such a familiar part of your food routine that you almost forget to share them. You have them so often, until they become the silent backdrop to your life. Berger Kebap is one of those places for us. A German colleague once told me: “If you’re a foodie, Germany may open up
