First things first: it is advisable to book well in advance, as this chic, modern restaurant is small and very popular. Little wonder it draws a crowd, given the passion with which the two amiable owners run the place. In the open kitchen, owner Elvis Herbek prepares a set menu comprising four or five courses. The creative seasonal dishes are inspired by Mediterranean and international influences: think "Potage – wild garlic, scallop, preserved lemon, shiso" or "Saltimbocca – veal, sage, hollandaise, Parma ham, Beelitz asparagus". Front of house, Nicole Hieke not only ensures everything runs smoothly but also adds a charming, personal and relaxed, neighbourly touch to the whole experience. And you can certainly rely on her wine recommendations, too.
