Today was our last day in Munich, and an exciting one – we were going to a Michelin-listed restaurant. Beforehand, we also went to the Königsplatz and looked at the antiquities and sculpture museums.
Königsplatz was only a short walk away. One side has a huge arch, with flanking sides featuring the Staatliche Antikensammlung and the Glyptothek.

We visited the Stastliche Antikensammlung first. It was originally built by King Ludwig I and it features Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman antiquities – pottery, jewelry, armour, figurines.

The Glyptothek, on the other hand, featured marble (for the most part) human sculptures and busts.

Then came packing and getting dressed up before heading to Pfistermühle. We had the six course tasting menu, with Dave selecting the vegetarian version. It was delicious, and a lovely dining experience.
