MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Two Stars: Excellent cooking

The location on the Landwehrkanal in lively Kreuzberg, among other restaurants and shops, is special and a draw in itself. Out front is a lovely terrace shielded from the street. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and cosy . The combination of old wood panelling and chic, modern design, along with a striking mural by Jim Avignon, draws as much attention as the glass-fronted kitchen. Here, Sebastian Frank conjures up dishes rooted in the culinary traditions of his Austrian homeland with plenty of creativity and an emphasis on sustainability. He showcases excellent ingredients, which he prefers to source from Berlin and the surrounding Brandenburg region, in an unembellished, seemingly unspectacular manner, and it is perhaps precisely for this reason that his cuisine is so memorable. Vegetarian dishes take centre stage. Tip: The signature dishes "celery ripe and young" and "soup greens 'Seleskowitz'"can be added to the current set menu. Cards provide information on each course. Sebastian Frank also enjoys interacting with guests and explaining his creations. Interesting wine list dedicated to Eastern Europe and Austria.
