Restaurants and grocery stores in Starnberg

I'm sure the "grocery heaven" you have described might exist somewhere in Germany, but probably not in Starnberg. I was only there very breifly once, so I don't know it well. But I recall seeing mostly the same sort of grocery stores there that you see in every German town. And German grocery stores tend to be rather cut-rate.

A quick look on the map shows an Aldi and a Tengelmann, which quite honestly, are about as far from what you're looking for as possible. I also see at least one Rewe and an Edeka. When I moved away from Germany two years ago, both of these chains were in the process of upgrading some of their stores to something a tiny bit closer to what you're describing, but I have no idea about their branches in Starnberg.

Thank you for the reply - we'll make it work :)

A prepared food section is pretty uncommon at German groceries. Check out the local EDEKA market, it's at the Josef-Jägerhuber-Straße 7, 82319 Starnberg. That one may have a small prepared foods section. Never saw one at REWE or Tengelmann.

But the solution is clear. Men are into meat. And I'm pretty sure all of these markets sell a decent selection of beef and sausages and one-time-use BBQ equipment at this time of the year.

Great idea thank you :)

Many butcher shops (Metzgerei) typically carry prepared foods but don't expect a selection like Whole Foods. There are Vinzenmurr locations in Starnberg that could be what you have in mind. Check out the selection on the website:(http://vinzenzmurr.de/)

Edit: fixed spelling on Metzgerei

DJ, forget Vinzenzmurr stores. Along the pretty standard meat, they offer heavily overpriced canned and bottled goods you can also buy in any other store. Vizenzmurr is just another slaughterhouse corporation who lost their call for bids on the big discounters and therefore, made their own stores chain. And gave themselves a "tiny old pops butcher" image.

Thank you DJ!
