Yes — and if you are choosing between Munich's two-star restaurants for a celebration dinner, KOMU deserves serious consideration. Chefs Yesoon Lee and Danny Lee hold two Michelin stars (awarded in both 2024 and 2025) and score 80 points on La Liste's Leading Restaurants list for two consecutive years, placing them in a small group of Munich kitchens operating at a consistently high level. At a €€€€ price point, you are paying for precision cooking in the Classic Cuisine tradition — a category that rewards diners who want technical rigour over experimental provocation. The question is not whether KOMU is good. The question is whether it is the right booking for you, and when.
KOMU sits at Hackenstraße 4 in Munich's Altstadt, close to the Marienplatz area, which makes it accessible from most city hotels and direct to reach by public transport. The kitchen works within the Classic Cuisine register , a discipline that prizes balance, clean flavour, and technical consistency over novelty. For special occasions, this matters: Classic Cuisine at two-star level tends to deliver a more assured, less variable experience than restaurants chasing avant-garde formats. You are less likely to encounter the polarising high-concept moves that sometimes divide tables at more experimental addresses.
The Google rating sits at 4.8 from 135 reviews, which is a strong signal at this price tier. Two-star restaurants often attract more critical scrutiny from diners, so a sustained 4.8 suggests the kitchen is delivering on its promise consistently, not just on select evenings. For a birthday dinner, anniversary, or important business meal, that consistency matters more than a higher rating with greater variance.
KOMU's hours are not publicly listed in available data, so confirming lunch service requires direct contact with the restaurant. That said, at two-star level in Germany, lunch service , where offered , almost always represents the sharper value proposition. Two-star lunch menus in this tier typically run at a meaningful discount to dinner while drawing from the same kitchen and the same produce. If your schedule allows flexibility, it is worth asking KOMU directly whether a lunch format is available: you may access the same cooking at a lower per-head cost, with the added advantage of a quieter, less pressured room.
Dinner at KOMU is the format most diners will book, and for a celebration it fits naturally. Evening service at this level carries more ceremony, longer pacing, and the full wine pairing infrastructure that makes a €€€€ evening feel earned rather than rushed. If the occasion calls for the full arc of a long meal , aperitifs, multiple courses, a considered pairing , dinner is the right call. For a business lunch where time is a constraint, verify the format before booking.
For context on Classic Cuisine at this level elsewhere in Germany, Maison Rostang in Paris and Meierei Dirk Luther in Glücksburg operate in comparable registers, which gives you a sense of the genre's range. Within Germany, Aqua in Wolfsburg, Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, and Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach represent the three-star tier above KOMU , useful benchmarks if you are calibrating expectations across price levels.
KOMU is rated Near Impossible to book. Two consecutive years of two-star recognition from Michelin, combined with a strong La Liste score, means demand significantly outpaces availability. Book as far in advance as you can , six to eight weeks minimum is a reasonable baseline for dinner; further out if you are targeting a Saturday or a specific date. Flexibility on day of week will improve your chances. Lunch slots, if available, are typically easier to secure than dinner at this tier. There is no listed phone number or website in the current data, so reaching the restaurant directly through their reservation system or via a hotel concierge is the practical route.
KOMU is the right choice if you want two-star precision in the Classic Cuisine tradition for a special occasion dinner, and you are willing to plan well ahead to secure the table. It is a strong pick for couples marking a significant event, small groups wanting a shared tasting experience, and business dinners where the setting needs to signal seriousness without veering into the theatrical. If you want more culinary adventure or a fusion approach, Tohru in der Schreiberei's German-Japanese register or JAN's creative format may suit you better. For Munich dining at a step below this price tier, Blauer Bock, Broeding, and Le Stollberg are worth considering.
