Here, a native Italian brings the flavours of the South to Hamburg. Matteo Ferrantino, who, together with Dieter Koschina, previously ran the kitchen of the two-star Vila Joya restaurant in the Portuguese city of Albufeira, presents a modern and creative take on Mediterranean cuisine in the form of two set menus named "Emotion" and "Garten" (vegetarian). Each begins with an array of amuse-bouches and is rounded off with a series of equally delicate petits fours. In between you might opt for Iberico Secreto with shellfish, chorizo, pearl onion and Dijon mustard. With his great taste and considerable technical prowess he prepares premium ingredients, creating exceptionally interesting flavour combinations. Architect Julia Erdmann has designed a chic interior that has all the flair of an Italian piazza – plus a view of the kitchen.
