Les Deux in München

It’s hard to exaggerate how wonderful our meals were at Les Deux Brasserie. It was near our hotel and we were looking for something other than the usual Munich Bavarian fare. Our first meal there was lunch on the beautiful patio. Great setting, fun people watching, and attentive and friendly/welcoming service. Our choices at lunch included the gazpacho, the gnocchi, and the steamed cod. All were incredibly well prepared and presented and absolutely delicious! My previous experiences with Michelin Star restaurants is that the food can be fussy and not particularly satisfying. That’s not the case at all at Les Deux! The food is incredibly delicious and satisfying. So we went back for dinner and had an equally great experience. Our server again was a young gentleman from Croatia who took great care of us. Our dinner choices included burrata salad, beef tartare, Kikok chicken, grilled St. Pierre, and the steak frites. I’d never tried beef tartar even though I enjoy very rare steak, and the beef tartar at Les Deux was a revelation. I see why so many people were ordering it. I also appreciate that you can tell that every bite of food at Les Deux is clearly sourced from the very best providers. As a fairly decent cook myself, I can tell when the ingredients in a dish are the absolute best available. And did I mention, in my opinion, Les Deux is very reasonably priced? We may never get back to Munich, but the memories of the perfect meals we had at Les Deux will remain with me. Thank you to all of the folks at Les Deux who make it happen.

I had the pleasure to had lunch at Lex Deux. All the dishes where amazing. The wine was also really good. We ate at the first floor which as a great view. You are not sitting supr close to the next guests which is a plus. The restrooms can be reached via elevator as they are down 2 floors. I can only recommend this place!

Great place. Cocktails and desserts are top-notch, waiters are true professionals. Definitely coming back.

Just great! Must stop when you are in München 😋

We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and were absolutely blown away. The flavor creations are simply little miracles. With each course, we were more and more amazed. Everything was just perfect. The sommelier, host, and service staff were all top-notch, fun, and efficient. Everyone contributed, was attentive, and showed real commitment to Les Deux. The wine (we gladly opted for the sommelier’s wine pairing) was simply fabulous. One wine was a blend of five vintages, another was my first Viognier, and the wine served with the pre-dessert was from Piedmont and had a wonderful cherry aroma. The service staff answered all our questions and were excellently informed. All in all, a real 5-star experience of the highest class. Here, 'The Bear' or 'The Taste' is truly brought to life in Munich. Nathalie Lablond is a magician who manages to nail taste, presentation, and aroma so perfectly that the price is more than justified. Thank you!

Really good restaurant. Veal Tongue was very good as a starter. The staff were very professional and service oriented. Only part of the "food experience" we did not like was the strength of the cocktails. Made them almost hard to drink. Other than that would go back again.

The food is delicious there, and the staff is super nice, friendly, and competent. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Had dinner at Les Deux recently and was seriously impressed. The food was excellent — a really smart blend of French finesse with local German ingredients. The one negative is the food is a bit pricey.

Very successful gastronomic program both on the 1st floor and on the ground floor in the heart of Munich.

The downside is that the toilets in the restroom are very low. Everything else is great! Special thanks for the soap and hand cream of a famous brand! Comfortable seats inside and outside. Beautiful everywhere! Drinks, wine, food - it's not just delicious, it's art! The service is great! The speed of service is amazing! This is the best restaurant I've visited in the last 2 years!

Daniel gave us very good service 👍

Good, not great. The food was mostly good, just not quite worth the premium price tag. The “shrimp cocktail” was tiny shrimp covered in a creamy mayo like sauce on toast… average at best. The duck liver was excellent. The servers were kind, but very delayed in bringing our food. We ordered everything immediately, but dinner was still over 2.5 hours. Our kids were watching shows at the table by the end. It was good, just not nearly worth the very steep price tag.

Perfect service, very unique version of the burrata, very good oysters and fantastic turbot. High class experience

Review of the gourmet restaurant on the first floor: A Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown Munich, located in an architecturally interesting building in the Fünf Höfe district. What stands out at Les Deux from the first to the last minute is the outstanding service. Attentive, charming, articulate, always on hand, but never to the point where you feel like you're being watched. The 6-course menu is beyond reproach. Arranged on the plate with great attention to detail, with subtle nuances of flavor and the interplay of the individual ingredients. Currently featuring lobster, mackerel, and lobster with a focus on aquatic animals, it concludes with a pigeon dish, which some might prefer to replace with an alternative, as it can be a bit tough or stringy depending on the piece. Apart from that, among the other outstanding courses, only the pre-dessert, a Magnum-style ice cream, falls somewhat short, as it is too sweet, too large in relation to the other courses, and difficult to eat in its current composition. The asking price for the menu is still more than reasonable. The drink prices can be described as assertive, not uncommon in the restaurant industry, but here, at €10 per bottle of water or €25 for a glass of a good, but not exquisite, rosé champagne, they're on the higher end. We had a fantastic evening and look forward to our next visit. 5 stars for the gourmet restaurant. Update to the previous review of the brasserie on the ground floor, Oct. 21: The Brasserie Les Deux on the ground floor has significantly raised its prices following a change of head chef and has eliminated the more reasonably priced dishes without replacement. Therefore, the brasserie is no longer an insider tip. Depending on the server, the service continues to be either outstanding or average for the price. The latter was observed especially outside. The menu selection now ranges from €30+ for main courses, with one or two exceptions. The quality is very good to excellent, but the price level here is still not entirely justified. After our last two visits under new management, our enthusiasm for the brasserie has waned.

Business dinner for 4. Two arrived early and ordered a beer. They were out of beer! (that’s a first time experience in Munich!!). They pushed a glass of wine instead (not really what we wanted), so you would expect that at least to be complimentary. Not so - fully charged. Just not good style. Food was good - we all got the set menu. Sitting outside was pleasant. Total bill +400 Euro. The waiter then asked for a 10% tip!! Is this something new in Europe?? I understand tipping in the US where waiters are paid very little. And other low-paying countries. I believe waiters are paid fairly in Germany, or? Maybe just taking advantage of foreigners - we were a mix from 3 continents. Overall, good food and ambiance. Poor service for a restaurant claiming to be fine dining and that unfortunately put a dent in the experience.

Very attentive service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Culinary perfection. Excellent service.

I'm floating in 7th heaven 🫶🏼 The burrata lobster course as an appetizer is absolutely unsurpassed for me. And we have already visited a lot of star restaurants. It was and is always a highlight to dine here in the brasserie. I'm so excited 😍😍😍 We'd love to come here any time 🥰

No question: high end. The service, the ambience and the food. You can't go wrong here. The price corresponds to the level.

Didn't feel well treated here. Ordered a decaf cappuccino and specifically asked if its as strong as a regular one. In my opinion its way weaker than a regular cappuccino, even asking for an extra espresso to be added. I felt like the waitress didn't care much that we got what we asked for. They also got my previous negative review taken down.

Regrettable experience. More than an hour to bring two cold starters, and after another additional hour without serving us the mains, we asked for the bill (by the way, not cheap) and left. The waiter was friendly and looked embarrassed (he even offered a glass of proseco - which we declined - while we waited), but no one from the staff came out to give us an explanation or an apology. We had been before, but this will be the last.

The food is good, but what's the nonsense about putting bread on the table without asking and then charging 6 euros for it as a "cover"? That alone is a reason for me not to come back.

We went to the brasserie in the early evening before going to the opera and had a wonderful meal. The service was attentive and friendly, the food was very well prepared, the desserts were a poem. Gladly again.

Beautiful restaurant, both inside and on the courtyard terrace. Very attentive and friendly service... This is our third visit, always at lunchtime. Food: Excellent twice, and unfortunately only mediocre the third time, hence 4/5 stars.

Please be relaxed before entering this truly upscale world of culinary enjoyment. Then the feeling of happiness is indescribable. Thank you for this wonderful experience

From the moment we entered the restaurant the service was friendly and helpful. Beautiful flavours and food was fresh and well prepared. Wine selection was also great. Definitely recommend

Outstanding evening with the finest food and perfectly coordinated wine accompaniment. Attentive service and great attention to detail. Thanks to the whole team for this pleasure trip.

It was my first time at Les Deux in Munich with friends, and I had a fantastic experience! The food was incredibly delicious, with each course perfectly paired. The service was attentive and friendly. It was an all-around successful evening that I can definitely recommend.

We went to the fine dining restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised - I was invited and was expecting boring French haute cuisine, but it was really good!

The waiter named Jonas served us very well, nice service, good food and I would love to come back

We had an amazing time ! Enjoyed all the dishes of the menu and every one from the staff was very friendly!

Les Deux is a very good restaurant for all aspects: food, service and atmosphere. The portion is surprisingly large for a Michelin starred restaurant and the sparkling tea drink is amazing. We went for lunch at the Brasserie and the lunch menu was pretty good. The main might look like a traditional German dish with pork and potato puree, but they managed to infuse some fine dining zest to the Iberico pork. Overall a very good choice for a nice meal at the heart of Munich.

Chic bistro with good cuisine, men's cuts good, still has a little to improve on the Sonorra model (but with Rösti), scallops top, both in cooking and in the accessories, very attentive, friendly, courteous service.. The evening was just 🤬 disturbed by an uninspired complainer who was totally into acro and who complained for hours despite the extremely generous offer of service

French star cuisine in the heart of Munich. Very nicely put together menu, I was particularly enthusiastic about the combination of pike perch and black pudding (isn't that possible? but it works great). The wine list was also impressive and the prices here are still within reasonable limits for a top restaurant.

First-class service and an extremely competent sommelier who gives perfect advice on the menu. The winter menu was a delight - creative and playful creations that inspire. My personal favorite: the extraordinary crème brûlée with wasabi and caviar. A culinary experience that I will happily repeat!

Always worth a visit! Everything fits together!

Incredible food and kind service

Very pleasant atmosphere - excellent service - very good wine advice - reserved a table in good time - my new flame took me there - big thanks to the team

A solid fine dining option for dinner. Great food and professional service. The venison, shrimps and scallops were simple perfect. We will be back.

Wonderful dining experience in the brasserie! The scallops were exceptional. Definitely recommend this place for a calm, enjoyable dinner!

SKILLS LACK PAR EXCELLENCE! Any examples for a GOURMET RESTAURANT? - Drinks are served without a tray - Cards are handed out and the conversation continues to the neighboring table with the head turned away - Cutlery, glasses dirty - Service asks if everything “works” (presumably what was meant was a taste of the food) - The service manager is/was unsurpassed in terms of rudeness This review in no way affects the performance of the kitchen - thank you very much for the very well prepared dishes.

Really very nice restaurant with great decoration!!!

Just an awesome place to have great French food, receive great service, and have a good time. Beautiful location. Price is reasonable.

We had an incredibly beautiful evening. The service was on point & it was a real treat.

Es war ein wunderschöner Abend ! Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team des Les Deux !

Simply excellent!! Thank you so much !

Nice brasserie atmosphere in the center of Munich. All dishes were very tasty, had a great lunch at the brasserie. It is much faster than in restaurant, which looks amazing, if you have time. Tried veal tongue, shrimp cocktail, and few more. The orange panna cotta for dessert was a great finish.

Well balanced and exciting tasting menu, outstanding service.

From the ambience to the service and the high-quality variety of tastes, this time I have to give 5 stars as a review. In my opinion, this restaurant stands out from the crowd in Munich and is highly recommended.

Super delicious. The service was impeccable and served quickly. The dessert is to die for, it is so good.

Four of us were guests in the gourmet restaurant on a Friday evening. The entire evening was impeccable, the food, the wine and the service were excellent. We felt very comfortable and welcome. A guest at the table had several allergies and intolerances which I stated in advance when making the reservation and the entire menu was then adapted perfectly. For that and for the wonderful evening, a big compliment and thank you again.

Lovely Michelin 4 star restaurant

Marvelous food and service. Great experience. Highly recommended to locals and foreigners

I found this restaurant via Michelin guide app. The food pictures in the app is totally different What was served at the restaurant. Overall, it was a moderate experience.

With a business partner for dinner. Excellent menu, very appreciative service, just another great experience. Worth every euro 😀

All around good restaurant food at a very high level.

Perfect evening and charming staff!

Amazing food & very well presented Location is great Very friendly staff Very recommended Many thanks Omoh

It was a wonderful evening, the food was excellent and the service was pleasant, refreshingly friendly. Price-performance ratio was perfect.

Les Deux Brasserie: My favorite address in Munich for fine dining during the week. The dishes are all of the highest quality, taste perfect and beautifully presented on the plate. The service is perfect and yet warm, you immediately feel at home here. The drinks advice is tailored to your personal preferences and is ideal for dining. The whole thing takes place in a beautifully modern atmosphere, the brasserie is simply the perfect complement to the Les Deux gourmet restaurant.

It was a great change to try this restaurant, the service was optimal even when we ordered a cheesecake and come with alcohol, they change it for us for free The food was great and we had a wonderful time there

We ate with friends in the “Brasserie” on a Monday evening. Three chose the 3-course menu, I ordered à la carte. The starters and food tasted quite good so far, although not outstanding. The really bitter thing about the evening was the endless amount of time we had to wait. First it took over half an hour for our cocktails to arrive for the aperitif (“sorry, there's so much going on at the bar right now” - which shouldn't be our problem). Our main courses arrived 2 1/2 (sic!) hours after we were there ("sorry, so much is being ordered in the restaurant upstairs and it's the same kitchen and the restaurant has priority" - aha, but that shouldn't be our problem either ). We did get a kind of “in-between drink” on the house to sweeten the waiting time, but that only helped to a limited extent. The service staff should better coordinate and divide up the tables; two of us kept asking for the same things (“another water?” for example), which were then brought several times. We will try other restaurants with upscale food next time before we try again here...

Sorry Gentlemen but food is not up to the standards, the dish is crafted well but the taste is under average, However we were expecting a delicious meal for 120eruo after waiting for a long time for our mains. But honestly service and employees are great and professional.

Well, as a know nothing about French cuisine person, I had a blast at Les Deux. The knowledgeable Maître d was able to recommend a 2013 Taittinger over the similar vintages Dom Perignon. It did not disappoint. I randomly pointed at the menu and ate what was served. I think everything tastes better with champagne, no?

On day 1 of my five-day stay in Munich, I went to Les Deux, located in the old town, which houses both a brasserie and a Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant under one roof. In the latter, located on the first floor of a modern wedge-shaped courtyard building, I have reserved a table at which I sit down with excitement and anticipation, because Les Deux has an excellent reputation. Not only because, for example, Edip Sigl, Germany's youngest newcomer to the 3-star league, even won a second Michelin star for the house in 2020, but above all because patron Fabrice Kieffer, one of the best hosts in the Bavarian capital, is concerned about the well-being of the guests takes care of guests. You can find a few impressions of my evening and chef Nathalie Leblond's wonderful menu attached and you can read the rest of the story in the new issue of EssReports.

Four of us ate in the brasserie on a Monday evening. The food was really very good. However, we waited a whopping two hours for our main course from the time we arrived. Unfortunately, the attempt to compensate for this with a free round of drinks and a sorbet was only half successful, as this only happened after we had subtly expressed our dissatisfaction with the slow service. The service staff then tried to keep us happy (see above) and apologized. Overall, unfortunately an evening with a pale aftertaste...

The menu, without a doubt, is terrific. But the real highlight is: the service. A perfectly coordinated, silent, highly professional and at the same time very friendly and personal team, led and inspired by the boss of the house - you rarely experience something like that. Definitely something to write home about!

Incredible evening. Amazing staff and service. Food was not only beautiful but outstanding.

The brasserie at Les Deux was a great find with a modern menu. Every dish was prepared with a great attention to detail. The veal tongue salad was a wonderful stater. The meat was tender with a great crunch from the radishes and pickled cucumbers, with the creamy dressing pulling it all together. The steak au poivre with fries was also delicious. The tender steak was paired with a wonderful pepper sauce and crispy fries. And let’s talk about the dessert. The Pavlova looks stunning on the plate. And it tastes as good as it looks. The walnuts add a surprising crunch and work well with the raspberry, merengue, and curd cheese. My waiter Ono recommended the pavlova and he was right it was delicious. The service was excellent.

Truly spectacular food and wonderful service! Would love to go back!

Great food and wine selection. But way too many waiters which keep running like crazy and killing the ambience. Also, pay attention to the volume of wine when you order. Here if you say a glass, you get 0.2 and not 0.1l. I hate when cheap restaurants are doing this and certainly didn't expect this attitude here

It was very tasty and good. But when you're in Munich, there's nothing better than white sausages and wheat beer.

First time at Les Doux, high class establishment, nice presentation, a total of three sweet items in the course. We didn’t go for wines, that might have been a miss. I’d trade sweets for more appetizers.

We decided to go to the Brasserie and was disappointing. The menu was conservative and nothing special, the food was ok but overpriced. The red wine was served straight from the fridge, unbelievable. The service was ok. We left hungry. I would not recommend and will not come back. We went celebrating a special occasion and ended up being very disappointed.

Food excellent. The waiter was extremely friendly, personable and explained everything very well. Very good wine knowledge. The menu selection was great.

The reception and seating by a lady at the entrance was friendly and professional. Shortly afterwards, the service staff put the menu in front of us without saying a word – without asking whether we would like water or an aperitif. Our order was also taken wordlessly and demonstratively disinterested. That's why the service employee had to ask again after five minutes what we had actually ordered as the main courses. The wrong aperitifs were then served - and after a long wait - completely wrong starters. General confusion among staff, but no apology. After three quarters of an hour we had our first course in front of us: good, but nothing special. The main course arrived in the normal time frame, although at least one of the main courses was really very good. We were not asked if we would like wine with the main course. When asked about a wine recommendation, the waiter said: “Take the Chardonnay – it goes well with everything.” (!) We are very familiar with this level of service from the “Brasserie” as well as the “Les Deux Restaurant”.

Les Deux in Munich is a must for so many reasons. Sit on the patio for a casual vibe but enjoy the food from Michelin Star Chef Nathalie Leblond. We love a badass woman chef. The meal began with a delightful surprise—tomato-infused butter. Who does this? A lovely person, that’s who. The oysters and sea scallops were exceptionally fresh and flavorful, highlighting the chef’s expertise in seafood. Grilled cucumbers, a dish I hadn't encountered before, turned out to be an interesting and pleasant surprise. Everything about this restaurant was spot-on, and to top it all off, I found another great Old Fashioned in Germany. Put this on your list.

Very creative tasting menu. Service is first rate.

Very bad experience, I had to leave the restaurant because of the slow service (it took me waiting more the 45 minutes after the starters , where I had to leave the place , waitress was rude when I asked about the delay of my lunch she said it’s not a fast food restaurant!!!

Simply the best restaurant that we regularly visit in Munich, great food, great service, good wine and simply a sensational ambience. We just love LesDeux, it's a great place.

We were in the gourmet restaurant on the first floor. Elegant atmosphere, not too big. We decided on the menu. We were looked after by an extremely charming and experienced service team. The various courses of the menu were incredible, each course was a joy in itself and it was a real shame when we unfortunately reached the end of the menu. It would be pointless to describe the individual dishes now, as the menu changes. But everything tasted and looked wonderful. What I also liked was the accommodating flexibility. When our service gentleman noticed that I didn't eat the raw fish (allergy), he brought me a different version from the kitchen and in the following courses he also made sure that my fish was a little more cooked through. I found that very thoughtful and I was pleased. Compliment!

Ein wunderschöner Abend mit hervorragender Küche, begleitet von tollen Weinen.

Every time, first class, compliments 😁

Just fantastic! Service: From the receptionist to the waiter, everyone was very friendly and professional. Lots of waiters on the go. Food: we had various dishes. All were extremely tasty. Courts have been an art. The composition is interesting and very tasty. Prices: There is nothing under 20/25 euros. Expensive but I found it worth it. Ambiance: Nice indoor garden. Some tables. Quiet

Les Deux offers excellent food that lives up to its fine dining reputation, though I was disappointed with the wine pairing, as some selections were too strong for my taste. The service was average, falling short of what I'd expect in this setting. Additionally, it was surprising and unusual for a fine dining restaurant to ask for a tip, something I haven’t encountered elsewhere. That said, the location was great, making for a beautiful dining experience overall.

Delicious food great service. Deducted 1 star due to an accident with the food.

Definitely lives up to the Michelin star!

Unfortunately our visit did not live up to our expectations. A cool airport lounge atmosphere for a one star restaurant is unfortunately disappointing. In addition, the food was unfortunately only good but not outstanding. The service was also relatively cold and showed little interest in our table after we had only ordered one or no glass of wine.

The wine and champagne lists are extensive. We drank the recommended wine with Crook and paid 2366 euros for a 5-course meal for 8 adults. (Includes 8 cups of espresso) The food is closer to Japanese than what you can get in Germany, and is delicious but a little salty. I went there because it has 1 Michelin star, and it's worth recommending, but not worth visiting. Anyway, the food is on the salty side. please refer to this. Oh, the bread and butter are so delicious!

Current rating from June 2024 Also a guest at lunchtime, this time in the cozy courtyard. Service was impeccable, just like the first time, everyone was very professional and attentive. Only this time the food was unfortunately not a highlight like it was on my last visit… The salmon ceviche was very boring and barely dressed and the sweetbreads with chanterelles and fresh peas were too salty. The best thing was the homemade tomato cream cheese spread and the bread that went with it. We will come back, no question about it, but I still wanted to get rid of this because in such a noble ambience, which is of course above average in price, everything should be right on every visit! Rating of 2023: Exquisite lunch with baked oysters and rare specialties, caramelized sweetbreads Both dishes are not only visually beautiful to look at, but also a highlight in terms of taste. Of course, upscale and elegant ambiences also have a different price, but if the quality is right and your personal taste is met, it is more than satisfactory! Will definitely visit this brasserie again

Very, very good food and drinks. Cozy courtyard. Please reserve.

The veal was tender, cooked just right and went well with the sauce. It had a nice atmosphere and was a good place to escape the heat. A place with both taste and appearance, including desserts.

The service left a lot to be desired. A pity....

A wonderful evening with fantastic wine accompaniment!

It’s hard to give 5 stars for value at this price point, but I feel I did very well. Superb presentation & execution. Well done.

A Tour de Force of flavour and professionalism in service and class. Don’t hesitate!

Leider haben wir beide das Essen und die Getränke nicht vertragen.

The food is very tasty and good 🥰👍 We had a reservation before arrival We got a table at the front door next to the bar It was very cold outside, guests were coming in and out and I was very cold because I had to sit in front of the door In addition, the heating in the restaurant was very poor and some guests were sitting in their coats The tables are very small and not practical The service was very professional and friendly to us 😊😊😊 But due to the place where we sat, I didn't feel comfortable because I was very cold The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful 👍🤌👌😊

We had a relatively spontaneous lunch at the Brasserie des Les Deux on Saturday lunchtime and were able to enjoy the fantastic weather on their terrace in the courtyard! Even though the city seemed to be bursting at the seams, you didn't notice the noise and hustle and bustle of the city. Together with some daily recommendations, the menu offers a nice selection of dishes that all sound delicious. We had a perfectly cooked pulpo with various salads, grenaille potatoes, avocado and peppers. Afterwards we had home-pickled Loch Duart salmon from Scotland which couldn't have been juicier or more tender. And finally in the dessert, puff pastry, vanilla and rhubarb. All in all very nice and very tasty. We'd love to come back!

Hier trifft sich die Kochkunst mit Gourmet und mit einem perfekten Ambiente. Für jeden Anlass geeignet. Sehr beeindruckend. Der Preis ist gerechtfertigt. Qualität soll belohnt werden.
