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. A shining example is the raw marinated Icelandic char, thinly sliced and artfully arranged in the shape of a rose, accompanied by slivers of daikon radish and pear, as well as a green bergamot and coriander sauce, creating a harmonious interplay of acidity and fruitiness. Here, top-notch ingredients take centre stage. 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 comprises seven courses (slightly more expensive Fri-Sat). A vegetarian alternative is also available by prior arrangement. On Wed and Thu evenings, the "midweek special" is an additional five-course option. At lunchtime, there is a four-course set menu.
