The Cloud embarks on its second culinary journey

MUNICH. Shortly after being awarded two Michelin stars and named ‘New Opening of the Year’, The Cloud by Käfer is embarking on its second culinary season.

The restaurant embraces the concept of “CULINARY NOMADISM”, combining international influences, precise craftsmanship and an exclusive dining experience under the roof of BMW Welt. From 8 July 2026, THE CLOUD by Käfer at BMW Welt will launch its second culinary journey, “SEASON II – WHISPERS OF THE RAINFOREST”. The new menu is inspired by a journey supported by the BMW Group, which took Head Chef Jens Madsen deep into the Amazon region. There, he immersed himself in traditional techniques, local produce and the respectful use of resources. At THE CLOUD by Käfer, he translates these impressions into a distinctive culinary style – characterised by local ingredients, precise craftsmanship and respect for origin and context.

The concept has won over the Michelin Guide. “The two Michelin stars are a great honour for our entire team. We are delighted, but we remain focused on what matters to us every day: working creatively and with concentration, treating high-quality produce with respect, and providing our guests with a special experience,” said Jens Madsen, head chef at THE CLOUD by Käfer, following the announcement.

“We warmly congratulate Jens Madsen, Luigi Pecchia, Mona Röthig and the entire team at THE CLOUD by Käfer on this special accolade. The two Michelin stars recognise the team’s outstanding culinary achievement and confirm the high standards that have gone into creating an exceptional fine-dining experience at BMW Welt in collaboration with Käfer and Designworks. With Season II, THE CLOUD by Käfer is now consistently continuing its culinary journey – something we are very much looking forward to,” adds Sandra Wittemer, Head of BMW Welt.

The fine-dining experience at THE CLOUD by Käfer is complemented by exclusive services from BMW Welt – the so-called “BMW Welt Signatures”. These include a personalised pick-up in a BMW 7 Series within the Munich area, valet parking and the option to book an exclusive guided tour of BMW Welt.

The team at THE CLOUD by Käfer has already received various accolades this year. Jens Madsen was named Best Newcomer by the restaurant guide “Der Große Guide” for his vision. Sommelier Luigi Pecchia is also listed by “DER FEINSCHMECKER” in its “Top 30 under 30” special as one of the most influential young talents among sommeliers in Germany. Furthermore, THE CLOUD by Käfer at BMW Welt was featured on the “Condé Nast Traveler Hot List 2026” as part of a highly international and creative selection of restaurants.
