Founded in 1930 by Elsa and Paul Käfer as a modest colonial goods store in Munich, the Käfer-Schänke restaurant was born from the family's flagship delicatessen at Prinzregentenstraße 73, where it opened in 1970. Now led by third-generation CEO Michael Käfer, the name "Käfer" has become synonymous with Munich's gastronomic scene, and the Schänke's unique advantage lies in the restaurant and delicatessen sharing a roof, guaranteeing top-drawer ingredients in signature dishes like beef tartare, lobster stew, and roast duck. With 19 individually designed dining rooms, each bearing its own name and history, the Käfer-Schänke is a place of discovery as much as dining, brought to life by head chefs Michael Emmerz and André Wöhner, whose philosophy is to craft dishes rooted in masterful technique, creativity, and emotion, letting the product take center stage with a harmony of flavors that leaves a lasting impression.
