Reviews Summary
KOMU offers an exceptional fine dining experience with highly professional service and a keen eye for detail, earning it two Michelin stars. While many praise the creative tasting menus, outstanding duck breast, and chic ambiance, some diners noted a recurring acidic note in dishes and found certain components less impressive, particularly in desserts. Despite minor criticisms, the wine pairing and overall presentation are frequently highlighted as excellent.
"This is easily one of the best Michelin Star restaurants I have been to - amazing food, very professional service and a keen eye for detail to the food - I look forward to coming back again! I really highly commend the service of Maxi, Alena, Jana and Bene! 👏🤩 Their service and proficiency was world class!!"

"We went for the lunch menu consisting of two small starters, two fish dishes, sous-vide duck breast and two desserts. The service was great, and we love the interior.
The menu itself has a very sharp acidic note from start to finish, including both the intro starters and concluding desserts. The chef seemed to be quite cautious about controlling the sweetness, which makes the acidic taste even more pronounced. I might like some dishes more towards the fruity side.
The plating, the details and the surprise factor are inline with a fine dining restaurant. Among the two fish dishes, the halibut was nicely done with some caramelization and a more balanced seasoning, the mackerel was more like a collection of small pieces put together. The fermented strawberry sauce was very good, reminded me of plum wine and plays with the duck well, but the sous vide duck itself alone was less great and had a strong game flavor.
The first dessert was pineapple with a jasmine ice cream, again quite acidic, the ice cream was the highlight with a tea note. The white chocolate dessert from the second dish has a very strong citrus note. It balanced out the dark chocolate cube, but that one was kinda salty.
Overall, we reckoned that while a whole menu focusing on the acidity was quite unique, it probably played better with a wine pairing or people who are used to stronger seasoning. The price was reasonable given the excellent service and presentation."

"One of the most exceptionally satisfying dining experiences in my life at this 2-star restaurant. I visited for the lunch course, and everything was impressive. The texture and sauce of the Heilbutt (halibut) were especially outstanding.
One minor personal drawback was the dessert made with Apfel (apple). It wasn’t particularly refreshing or sweet, and it ended the meal with a slightly bitter note. Perhaps the chef intended a hint of bitterness reminiscent of cacao or matcha."

Die besten Restaurants in München
Das Komu in München zeigt urbanes Flair mit hohen Räumen, hellem Holz und gezielten Farbakzenten. Mitten in der Altstadt hat sich Christoph Kunz mit seinem Restaurant „Komu“ etabliert, das abends ein 8-Gang-Menü und mittags ein 4-Gang-Menü anbietet. Stilistisch an die französische Haute Cuisine angelehnt, zeigt Kunz weltoffene Inspiration und Mut zu starken Aromen, beispielsweise in Gerichten wie der Fine-Dining-Version der Hühnersuppe mit expressivem Chiliöl.
Munich's award-winning cuisine: an overview
Before Christoph Kunz opened his own restaurant in Munich's old town in November 2022, he worked as head chef at Dallmayr's Alois Fine Dining. He already cooked up two stars there in no time at all – so it is hardly surprising that Kunz was also able to get two stars straight away in his new restaurant Komu. Komu offers an eight-course menu in the evening and a reduced four-course menu at lunchtime.
Michelin Star Chefs Munich
This is the story of a culinary genius: Christoph Kunz, 38, formerly the head chef at the renowned Alois in the Dallmayr delicatessen with two Michelin stars, took the step into self-employment in 2022. Last summer, it finally happened: He opened his own restaurant Komu at Hackenstraße 4 and immediately received rave reviews. And now: on his first attempt, he secured two Michelin stars once again!
