Seventy% - Topic: munich on the map! http://www.seventypercent.com/forum/sources-for-fine-chocolate-bars/munich-on-the-map/ Simple:Press Version 4.5.0 alex_h on munich on the map! http://www.seventypercent.com/forum/sources-for-fine-chocolate-bars/munich-on-the-map/page-4/#p4078 Sources for fine chocolate bars http://www.seventypercent.com/forum/sources-for-fine-chocolate-bars/munich-on-the-map/page-4/#p4078 A couple of shops have opened and others have closed since I last updated here. Pretty much any European chocolate can be had now in Munich though unfortunately Pralus is not to be found since Amelie closed a few years ago.
I wish we had more access to American chocolates since great things are being done in the states. If anyone feels like an informal exchange, I'd be willing to send some things across the Atlantic. But I think you can get most anything in the US now. I've had the chance to try DeVries' bars (many, many thanks, Steve!), some Theo, Amano and Guittard, when visiting the states over the years. I'm curious about Rogue and Patric and Tcho as well...
Anyway, the new stores here:
- Chokoin, on Nordendstrasse. Fair selection though a bit too much on the stylish side for my taste (that's Munich).
- Goldbraun, on Schellingstrasse. Small shop, small selection, very friendly folk. They sell chocolate (the braun) alongside their own jewelry (the gold).
ta ta!

but i thought i'd mention that:
- amelie closed a few months back :( and
- avoid dallmayr! they have only recently enlarged their chocolate dept., but the quality on offer is not up to par! i have complained a couple of times, because so many of the bars have bloom (domori and valrhona) but nothing has happened. paying a hefty sum, i don't feel like retempering everything i buy there ;)

my recommendations when in munich: go to stolberg (very central, close to hofbräuhaus) or quintessenz (not so central, but good selection of domori at the best price in town)

I'm in munich next friday. Franz and Stolberg is on my list and I know most of the older shops. Can you say something about the new shop near Franz?

here are some of the shops i haven't mentioned yet and some that are newer:

- delgado chocolate on max-weber-platz is a good place to go for a hot chocolate, great chili cake, a variety of chocolate delights and a chat with jorge delgado :)
- stancics in the prannerstrasse (i think) has got everything from domori, amedei, rovira, tiroler edel and a few other things. the pralines are yummy and not too sweet!
- [url="http://www.stolberg-schokoladen.de/"]stolberg schokoladen[/url] in the ledererstrasse (close to the hofbräuhaus ;-) mr. stolberg has got amedei, gerbaud, rococo, most, läderach and plenty of other goodies! he's the only gerbaud and rococo retailer i know of in munich...
- [url="https://www.kontor-fuer-schokolade.de/"]franz[/url], named after its proprietor, kerstin franz, is a shop in the hackenstrasse close to the city center. ms. franz opened just recently and now supplies the city with good taste, domori, amedei and lots of other stuff i can't remember right now ;)
- another shop opened around the corner from 'franz' just yesterday, but i have to check it out first.

there is now so much to choose from in the city it's hard to know where to go. prices also differ greatly! if anyone is interested in details, please write me an email.
