Dallmayr, is an essential stop off for any foodie.

Located in the heart of Munich’s busy Marienplatz area, this gourmet food market sells everything from superb coffee, chocolates and confections, breads to incredible pastries, meats and everything in between. About 2.5 million people visit the main store every year.

Dallmayr was established over three centuries ago when it began as a simple grocers shop. It is now a most famous for its “Prodomo” coffee brand and for top quality good that it sells.

Walking through this store is a true delight as it has special nooks dedicated to all special the foods it holds. Your senses peruse through cutely decorated display cases of candies, bread, seafood and much more. There is a small section of tables located near the bread section where one can eat foods that are purchased from the store.

On the top floor there is a restaurant Dallmyer where you can opt for some light bites, coffee, desserts and of course beer. After all the feasting that one does with ones eyes at Dallmayr …it’s only a mater of time where you need a spot like this to satisfy your cravings.
