Pure Wine & Food Munich – Mediterranean Restaurant with Michelin Recommendation

Pure Wine & Food in Munich – Mediterranean Cuisine with Natural Wines

In Munich’s Maxvorstadt district, Pure Wine & Food has built a reputation for precise, creative Mediterranean cuisine paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of natural wines from across Europe. The restaurant, which has earned a Michelin recommendation, describes its approach as "naturnahe Weine aus Europa und Mittelmeerküche" — natural wines from Europe and Mediterranean cuisine. The kitchen, led by chef Claudia De Luca, focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients and balanced, layered flavours.

The menu changes regularly, but past offerings give a sense of the kitchen’s ambition. A Chefs Choice menu might begin with smoked Arctic char and char caviar, served with cauliflower two ways, amaranth, and salt lemon. A main course of Iberico secreto arrives with sweet potato, pointed cabbage, pomegranate, and a chorizo jus. Dessert could be orange crème brûlée with chocolate-Grand Marnier sorbet and espresso-almond crumble. Each course is matched with a wine selected by the in-house sommeliers, highlighting small European producers from regions such as Friuli, Bierzo, and Burgenland. An alcohol-free pairing is also available.

The restaurant’s wine list is a particular strength. Pure Wine & Food sources bottles from vineyards that practice natural or low-intervention methods, with a focus on European growers. The pairing options are designed to complement the food without overpowering it, and the staff are knowledgeable without being formal.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. The dining room serves as both a neighbourhood wine bar and a destination for fine dining, and the team describes it as a space where guests can feel at home. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 18:00.

Pure Wine & Food will close its doors on 11 July 2026. Owners Claudia and Patrick Fischbacher have announced the decision, stating they wish to pursue new paths with more time for family and friends. Until then, the restaurant continues to serve its full menu. Existing gift vouchers must be redeemed before the closing date.
