Concept An exciting culinary journey on a high level! Cuisine Style Head chef and owner Julia Komp has traveled the world. In her menu, she dedicates each course to a different country. From the very beginning, it is clear: the seasoning is perfectly executed, and the intensity builds with every course. The journey begins with fruity pan con tomate from Spain, followed by a delicately tangy bread salad from Lebanon. The first spicy course is ceviche from Panama served with a jalapeño ice cream. It gets intense with a sweet potato dish from Sri Lanka – rich, full-bodied, and with the perfect amount of heat. Fine dining that dares to push boundaries – that's fun! For the cheese specialties, we return to Germany, sourced from affineur Waltmann. Wine The wine list is extensive, featuring 450 selections, with 25 available by the glass.
