Little London / Bar & Grill brings an upscale steakhouse atmosphere to Tal 31 in Munich’s Old Town. The concept balances polished surroundings with a relaxed dress feel, while the menu is centred on substantial beef steaks, carefully matched sides and a broad drinks selection spanning wine, beer, cocktails and spirits.
