Brothers
Munich, Germany




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The Brothers in question are the Klaas twins, who have already made a name for themselves as maître d' and sommelier on the restaurant scene; the name also alludes to the brotherly spirit in the team, which includes head chef Daniel Bodamer. He draws on experience gained during stints at some top establishments to create modern dishes with classical foundations and international influences, using excellent produce in the process. A set menu is also drawn from the à la carte selection and the well-curated wine list will delight lovers of sparkling wines, Burgundy and German Riesling. High-quality wine recommendations also by the glass. The atmosphere is laid back and urban chic. From the seats at the counter you can see into the kitchen.
