Pescheria: Mediterranean Fish Dining at Sendlinger Tor in Munich

Selection from the ice

Pescheria welcomes diners in Munich near Sendlinger Tor with an open fish display case at the entrance. The kitchen prepares Mediterranean dishes using whatever fresh catch rests on the ice. A Schlemmer Atlas accolade honors this direct method, allowing guests to select their seafood from the showcase before ordering wine by the glass or bottle.

Fire and honest flavors

The semi-open kitchen reveals a lava grill where chefs prepare pure dishes without elaborate tricks. Argentinian wild-caught prawns arrive as Gambas Piri Piri with chili, garlic, and lemon, while octopus carpaccio pairs with a citronette emulsion. Aquachile made from Jacob's shell brings heat through celery and lime. Sourcing remains sustainable across the Mediterranean menu.

Tiled walls and dimmed lights

Old Portuguese tiles and mismatched fish knives decorate the dining room, creating a cozy environment that favors warmth over formality. Dimmed industrial lamps ensure soft lighting during meals, while southern European music plays softly in the background. The space feels so distinctly coastal that locals jokingly call Munich the northernmost city of Italy.

Mediterranean wines and weekly paella

The wine list features selections from European Mediterranean countries, matching well with the seafood dishes. Every Sunday during July and August, the courtyard hosts a seafood paella festival where guests gather around a large pan. Lunch menus offer changing options including salads or soups from Monday to Friday.
