The story
Küche im Keller at Lutherstraße 20 in Gera is a fusion kitchen led by chef Marco Brauch, rated 2.5 Kochlöffel by the Schlemmer Atlas in 2026.
The kitchen describes its approach as classic modern meeting the present. Traditional dishes are reworked with fresh seasonal products, some of them almost forgotten, alongside goods from the region. Brauch's guiding thought is that anyone who can savor a meal has mastered the art of living.
Two four-course menus are on offer, and guests can adjust them to their taste. The Schlemmer Atlas points to a family atmosphere and fine cuisine, driven by a chef with real passion. The restaurant is also tagged as vegetarian, and its world cuisine leanings show in the way old recipes are reinterpreted.
