Vapiano

City Center, Munich –

Tucked away in the sleek Fünf Höfe shopping center, Vapiano is a bar and restaurant that provides an oasis for fashionable young professionals and shoppers in search of a hip lunch spot or a cocktail or two.

The chic red-and-white décor perfectly complements the simple space, which consists of two distinct areas: The downstairs lounge is popular for aperitifs, while the upstairs area contains a full bar with an impressive selection of wines, as well as an Italian restaurant where diners order food at different stations before grabbing a seat at one of the large communal tables.

Patrons shouldn’t be fooled by this casual self-service style, however – the focus is clearly on freshness and quality, and the venue's concept allows the chefs to prepare every meal to order.

By day, Vapiano provides a relaxing respite from the busy city center, while later on the space gets loud and bustling with a chatty and stylish pre-club crowd.
