You have hardly entered this store with its long tradition at the Viktualienmarkt (Munich's central food market), when you find yourself in a veritable shopping paradise.

From high-quality silver cutlery to the practical stopper – at Kustermann's you will come across everything that beautifies your home. On the subjects of cooking, serving, decorating and enjoying yourself this traditional house is just the right place to go to. But Kustermann's range of articles also includes household appliances such as irons or drills.

Hobby cooks, convinced housewives, DIY enthusiasts or simply just people in love with design will encounter all the major brands, novelties, the largest selection and competent advice by an extremely well-trained qualified staff over a sales area of 5000 square metres (53,800 square feet).

The Kustermann experts help you not only to select the products you want, but also at the same time show you how to use them. Top chefs let you watch them at work and grilling experts reveal their most valuable tips. The dates and times of product demonstrations and a show programme are announced on Kustermann's website.

Anyone wanting to set to work at the stove can learn a few tricks in Kustermann's own cooking school "ess-art", run by the professional cook Reinhard Angerer. All the current "ess-art" dates are to be found in the internet under http://www.kustermann-shop.de.

After a long stroll through this traditional Munich store the Café Siena promises pure relaxation: customers are pampered with a tasty piece of cake and a cup of aromatic coffee or tea.
