Why is this restaurant run by Ilona Scholl and Maximilian Strohe so popular? For one thing, there is the gorgeous setting. Housed in a pretty old building in Kreuzberg, the dining area boasts high stuccoed ceilings, wooden floors, artwork and original wallpaper. For another, the informal yet well-drilled front-of-house team, which is headed up by Scholl, fosters a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. But it is of course primarily the cuisine that draws diners in. The chef-patron and his kitchen team use premium ingredients to devise really interesting combinations. Their secret? Vibrant stocks and sauces that bring the different flavours together beautifully and give the dishes that certain something. The whole thing comes in the form of two 7-course menus: omnivorous or vegetarian. And don't miss the charming terrace.
