About
This "oyster cellar" is a delight to both visitors and locals, with the largest selection of oysters in town. Many gourmands make an entire meal just of Austernkeller's raw oysters; others prefer them elaborately prepared for example, oysters Rockefeller. A delectable dish to start is the shellfish platter with fresh oysters, mussels, clams, scampi, and sea snails. Or you might begin with a richly stocked fish soup or cold hors d'oeuvres. French meat specialties are offered, but most guests prefer the fish dishes -- no other chef in Munich can make a lobster thermidor as good as that served here. The restaurant, under a vaulted ceiling, has a refined atmosphere, and it makes successful attempts at genuine elegance; but because of a collection of everything from plastic lobsters to old porcelain, the decor comes off as a bit kitschy. However, the service is attentive, and you'll enjoy your meal.
