The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Munich Address Worth Knowing

Right in the heart of Munich's old town, on Ledererstraße 17, sits a restaurant that quietly earns its reputation through care rather than fanfare. Known informally as Lederer 17 — and recognised by Gambero Rosso with a 1-slice award in 2023 — this is a place built around the conviction that cooking is an expression of genuine dedication, where every detail and every ingredient matters.

The Kitchen's Philosophy

The menu goes by the name of Marijo's Speisekarte, a personal touch that signals the kitchen's character. Dishes move confidently across European traditions: a housemade potato focaccia arrives with good olive oil to start things off simply; Büffelburrata comes with heirloom tomatoes and basil; grilled octopus is paired with a paprika vinaigrette and potato chips. Main courses include a Tagliata vom Rind with chimichurri, a grilled loup de mer on pearl barley with white wine foam, and a duck preparation with Granny Smith apple and spinach. Desserts are equally considered — affogato al caffè with housemade vanilla ice cream, a classic crème brûlée, and a yoghurt mousse with strawberry sorbet.

The kitchen's stated aim is to respect roots while daring something new — and the menu reflects that balance, drawing on French, Italian and Mediterranean references without losing coherence.

Wines and Atmosphere

The wine list is curated with the same seriousness as the food, described by the restaurant as "poetry in bottles" — a selection chosen for personality and depth rather than volume. The dining room itself is warm and elegant, suited equally to an unhurried dinner for two or a private celebration.

For private events — whether personal occasions or business gatherings — the restaurant offers tailored menus and a setting that makes the evening feel considered rather than catered.
