\n Munich. The fine-dining restaurant THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer
\n at BMW Welt has been awarded with two Michelin stars by the \u201cMichelin

\n celebrates the culinary signature of chef de cuisine Jens Madsen,
\n restaurant manager Mona R\u00f6thig, sommelier Luigi Pecchia and the entire
\n team. With its concept of \u201cCULINARY NOMADISM\u201d, THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer

\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Michelin Guide\u201d defines a two-star restaurant as \u201cTable
\n excellente, m\u00e9rite un d\u00e9tour\u201d; in English: \u201cexcellent cooking, worth a
\n detour\u201d. This definition now also officially applies to THE CLOUD by
\n K\u00e4fer at BMW Welt. Also winning the \u201cOpening Of The Year\u201d award, the
\n fine-dining restaurant demonstrates that its concept has struck
\n exactly the right note: \u201cCULINARY NOMADISM\u201d \u2013 a culinary journey.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two Michelin stars are a great honour for our entire team. We
\n are delighted by this recognition, yet we remain focused on what
\n matters most to us every day: working creatively and with
\n concentration, treating high-quality products with respect, and
\n creating a special experience for our guests,\u201d commented Jens Madsen,
\n chef de cuisine of THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer, following the announcement.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe warmly congratulate Jens Madsen, Luigi Pecchia, Mona R\u00f6thig and
\n the entire team at THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer on this very special honour. The
\n two Michelin stars recognise the team’s outstanding culinary
\n achievement and confirms the high standards that have shaped an
\n exceptional fine-dining experience at BMW Welt in collaboration with
\n K\u00e4fer and Designworks. We are really looking forward to Season II, as
\n THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer continues its culinary journey,\u201d added Sandra
\n Wittemer, head of BMW Welt.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
From 8 July 2026, THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer at BMW Welt will embark on its
\n second culinary journey, entitled \u201cSEASON II \u2013 WHISPERS OF THE
\n RAINFOREST\u201d. The new menu draws inspiration from a journey supported
\n by the BMW Group, during which chef de cuisine Jens Madsen travelled
\n deep into the Amazon region. There, he immersed himself in ancestral
\n techniques, indigenous produce and a deeply respectful approach to
\n resources. At THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer, he translates these impressions into
\n a distinctive culinary signature \u2013 characterised by local ingredients,
\n masterful execution and a profound respect for origins and context.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fine-dining experience at THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer is complemented by
\n exclusive services offered by BMW Welt \u2013 the so-called \u201cBMW Welt
\n Signatures\u201d. These include a private shuttle service in a BMW 7 Series
\n across the Munich area, valet parking and the opportunity to book an
\n exclusive guided tour of BMW Welt.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team at THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer has already received several
\n distinctions this year. Jens Madsen was recognised for his vision by
\n German-language restaurant guide \u201cDer Gro\u00dfe Guide\u201d as Best Newcomer.
\n Culinary magazine \u201cDER FEINSCHMECKER\u201d also named sommelier Luigi
\n Pecchia among Germany\u2019s most promising young talents in its “Top
\n 30 Under 30\u201d special. THE CLOUD by K\u00e4fer at BMW Welt also featured in
\n the \u201cCond\u00e9 Nast Traveller Hot List 2026\u201d as part of a highly
\n international and creative selection of restaurants.<\/p>\n
