restaurant 181

One of our wedding presents was a voucher for Restaurant 181 in Munich from Mr. A's lovely co-workers (it came with an awesome pop-up card, too!). Now we are a couple who usually forget things like anniversaries and vouchers. So instead of keeping the voucher for a nice candle-light dinner at our one-year anniversary, we decided to go out for a dinner date last Saturday, before we completly forget about it.

Restaurant 181 is a revolving restaurant located inside the Olympiaturm. We could choose between a 4-course or 5-course gourmet meal - thankfully we chose the 4-course one, we were so full afterwards! We started with Martini Blanco as appetizer (left picture). Between the 2nd and 3rd (main) course they gave us a mango lemon sherbet (right picture).

Appetizer - mini Caesar salad
1st course - Surf 'n Turf: roast corn-fed chicken with shrimp, Virginia peanuts and coleslaw
2nd course - 'caned' tomato soup with Gin, mini tortilla and scallop
3rd course - Nebraska beef rump steak with garlic mashed potatoes and homemade barbecue sauce
4th course - New York cheesecake with vanilla ice cream and cranberry compote

Everything was really delicious, so I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to experience some culinary, 181 meters above Munich.
