After a long journey abroad you normally need landmarks reminding you that you are finally back home. This small Vietnamese restaurant is one of mine in Munich. For nearly 10 years the Kirschblüte proposes a minimalist menu based on only 2 starters, 2 main courses and 2 desserts. I concede that I hate restaurants with endless menus ... here it is much easier and faster to choose. I normally go for a starter (around 5 €), a large soup (around 8 €) or the main dish (around 10 €). Some of my friends can not resist the yummy Panna Cotta !!! The menu is changing every day so you can come back tomorrow without hesitation. In the evening you better reserve a table due to the success of the restaurant and the limited number of seats ( 26 ). The german word "
Kirschblüte" simply means "
Cherry Blossom" which explains the bubblegum pink lighting used inside the restaurant. This is hopefully not a touristic address (even if we are only 10 minutes from Munich downtown) so you will probably meet and chat with friendly locals ... and mainly regulars. To summarize I would say that the food is delicious, the prices absolutely reasonable, the atmosphere really homy and I should not forget to mention the charming and friendly team who is always smiling despite my horrible german pronunciation. For those who unfortunately forgot to book a table, you may also think about the take away alternative ...
