Les Deux

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We were a group of 10 for lunch. The food was fabulous, creative and perfectly done. The wine list is extensive with many good options and Omoh the waiter was charming and had great recommendations. Don't skip the sweetbreads. One of the best dishes I had. The tornado Rossini was also amazing.

I'm 21 years old & this is the best restaurant I have ever ascertained up to this point. Starting off with the atmosphere, the decor & lighting allow for a very classy & sophisticated vibe. This place is perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. It really didn't seem like a place to bring children as it was more of a mature setting. Second, the service was amazing. Our waiter was hilarious & made us so comfortable. He was complimenting us all night & referring to me as "beautiful" & "princess" . Loved the service. Lastly, & most importantly, the foooood. Exquisite! We ordered a share of appetizers, mains, dessert, & drinks & every single item exceeded our expectations. The duck dish they have on the menu is a MUST-HAVE. Every single bite gave me a glimpse of what heaven looks like. Unfortunately, i'm not from Germany so I cannot go back to this restaurant again but, 10/10 recommend this place!

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.

The five stars is mainly for impeccable service. Literally, impeccable! Super professional service, friendly, super attentive, attention to details, very pleasant to be there despite we had a really bad day from work that day. This change the whole dynamic of our mood. Food was very good especially the starters, pairing wine was excellent

Fabulous food! The outdoor location was perfect. Added to a wonderful stay in Munich.

After a few days of Oktoberfest and beer drinking, we decided to class up our München trip with Les Deux, our first Michelin-starred restaurant for our Euro-trip. Ha, leave it to us to come to a French-angled restaurant while in Germany. But there's beauty in the intersection of cultures, I guess. We came on a weekday night while there was a party going on in the bistro downstairs. We were quickly led upstairs to a much quieter scene, consisting of mostly business lunches, and well-to-do couples with their dogs. Wait, what? Nonetheless, we were seated right away, and we decided to do a la carte, instead of the given prix fixe menu. Our favorites: - Salmon tartare amuse bouche - Textures were awesome, and the salmon was very tender and delicious. - Bone Marrow dumplings - So rich, with the caviar on top, and the chives helped cut through the fattiness quite well. - Duck breast - Delicious, flavor-forward, and excellently plated. - Chocolate dream: Random assortment of chocolate treats, all tied together with some Bavarian cream One thing I didn't much care for was the Angus steak, with sweet potato fries. While there was nothing technically wrong with the dish itself, it just lacked any sort of innovative flavors, and I guess the only variation in plating was the fact that the fries were arranged like a haystack. Not bad in the end, but we were expecting a lot more for the dish. Service was very professional, and notably very laid-back. We were at the restaurant for about 3 hours, which was a bit long, but we never felt like we were unattended to. Prices are easily more expensive side, but the service and attention to detail are something to marvel at. Definitely a great place for a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner date. The menu, for the most part, is quite varied, and there really is something for everyone. They are incredibly attentive to the details, so if there's anything they can do for you menu-wise, they will take care of it.

Excellent food - although generally too salty. Beautiful presentation. Very good service from well trained waiters - with the exception of head-waiter in the Bistro floor who, in my opinion, does not fit the classy ambience of this restaurant. A background music would have been an improvement. Very wide selection of wine. Full bar.

Went here for my 1st Anniversary back in October 2016. Excellent service, delicious food, lovely ambiance. Presentation and pacing was excellent. I want to take those swivel chairs home with me. When you use truffles and wagyu, can't go wrong.

Excellent food, creative drinks, a little bit pricey but worth it after a long day of work or shopping. Frequent tripe here in the summer due to its quiet location in the middle of loud pedestrian streets, but nice and cosy inside during the winter.

This is a review for the Bistro on the ground level: in a nutshell, fantastic food with terrible service. I found the Bistro through the NYT article on visiting Munich. The reservation process was easy and pleasant, with an English-speaking staffer very responsive to my query. Once we got to the restaurant though, service went downhill. We were shown to a table by the door, which was drafty and close to all the smokers on the patio. When I asked if we could have another table farther inside, we were told that that table was reserved. Fine. Not five minutes later, two German-speaking guests came in without a reservation and were promptly seated at the table we requested. How did I know they didn't have a reservation? Because while I'm not comfortable speaking German extensively, I understand a lot of it. The waitress even had to ask them if they were eating or only wanted a drink. Ridiculous. Ok so they're anti-tourist. Then there was another waitress who was downright lazy in wiping tables. She didn't bother to lift the place mats; only wiping around them. She also used the same cloth to wipe seat bottoms and tables. Nice and sanitary. When two guests were seated next to us, another staffer had to pick the crumbs off the place mat from the previous diners. After that fine example of competence, the guests next to us asked for their check -- they finished first, as they only had coffee and dessert. They waited and waited and waited for about 20 minutes to get their check. They were German-speaking, but maybe had the wrong accent so were also not treated well. Lastly, it was an ordeal to pay by credit card. Even though they accept credit cards, the waitress's reaction was basically: "well it's Saturday and we're busy, so it's better if you pay by cash." Yes, whatever makes your life easier. It's a pity the service is so poor, because the the food is about as good as the service is bad. We had a duck breast and Maultaschen (basically German raviolis) for entrees, and a cheesecake and apple tart for dessert. All were delicious. I've had many Maultaschen from Stuttgart, and the ones at Les Deux were among the best. The duck breast was perfectly prepared -- juicy with crisp skin and nicely seasoned. The desserts were fantastic as well -- freshly baked and not too sweet, which suits my taste. It could have been an off day for them, but they were so consistently poor in their service that it'd be hard for me to justify going back, no matter how good the food is. And no, I don't think I'm an obnoxious Oktoberfest tourist. I actually ordered in German because I realize it's more comfortable for people to speak in their mother tongue.

We had their 5 course lunch menu and it was just soooo delicious!! The staff is very friendly and the waiter made a wine menu for us and it complimented the food in the best possible way. They absolutely deserve their Michelin Star and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody that's looking for a nice time out.
