Thorsten Bender's creative cuisine certainly explains the popularity of this little restaurant nestled on a quiet residential street. The chef's distinctive style shines through in his technically accomplished, clearly structured dishes, into which he seamlessly incorporates Asian flavours. The power and intensity of the flavours are as impressive as the finesse and refreshing accents. Top-notch ingredients take centre stage, such as Icelandic ikejime char confit in ox marrow fat with roasted leek, leek ash, white Alba truffle and verjus sauce. The upscale interior has a chic, modern feel. Friendly service comes courtesy of Franziska Dufner's experienced team – the chefs are also on hand to serve their dishes. The evening set menu consists of six to eight courses, with optional specials to add on. A vegetarian alternative is available by prior arrangement. Their "Midweek Special" comes in the form of a five-course surprise menu (available Wed, Thu and Sun evenings). At lunchtime, the four- to eight-course set menu can also be "upgraded" with extra dishes.
