Alter Hof (Münchner Kaiserburg)

Alter Hof (Münchner Kaiserburg) Review

The Alter Hof was the original medieval residence of the Wittelsbachs, the ruling dynasty of Bavaria, established in 1180. The palace now serves various functions. Its infopoint serves as a tourist information center for Bavaria's many castles. Beneath this, in the atmospheric late-Gothic vaulted hall of the Münchner Kaiserburg, there is a multimedia presentation about the palace's history. The west wing is home to the Vinorant Alter Hof, a fine restaurant and wine cellar with decent prices. For the more adventurous, try out the restaurant's "dinner in the dark" four-course menu, during which you'll be served and eat your meal in pitch black. All of your senses—from taste to touch—will seem to be on red alert, leading to a unique culinary experience.
