What’s the vibe?
Local Kreuzberg lad done extremely well, Tim Raue is a bit of a legend round these parts; his flagship has found itself on the World’s 50 Best once again, and he’s retained his two Michelin stars. His main restaurant is sleek and decorated with delicate Chinese pottery and dark wood furniture, sitting just 30.
While many of Berlin’s fine dining establishments follow the traditional French service dictum, here they pride themselves on informality, the front of house staff sporting jeans and trainers (the kitchen even has a TV mounted in the corner for football fans in the kitchen). None of this detracts from the exacting dishes.
What are the prices like?
The two six-course tasting menus come in at €292, the vegan at €248. It’s a splurge, for sure, but the food here showcases Raue’s fusion style: far east meets west on the former borderland of Berlin.
What should I order?
The tasting menu with wine pairings, of course. Just close your eyes when the bill comes. Think wagyu beef goulash, sprat and caviar, chicken fricassée with black truffle. There are signature specials too which can be incorporated into either tasting menu, like the Wasabi Langoustine and the Duck ‘Marie-Anne’.
