I enjoyed a very good meal here during my recent visit to Berlin. The restaurant was recommended under the Bars section in the guidebook but the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food arrived very quickly but didn't feel rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, even being there alone. I especially enjoyed the spiced plum soup starter and carrot ice cream dessert. Both were interesting flavour combinations that worked very well.

Courtyard off Rosenthaler before the intersection with Hackescher Markt. Broad menu but opted for carrot and pumpkin soup with corriander. Excellent service. They do a take on the breakfasts of various nationalities which is worth a look.

Enjoyed my visit here, even though I was on my own, on a business trip. Started with the Sashimi, which was nice and fresh but lots of conflicting (in my opinion) flavours on the plate. I think a word from the waiter on what to eat with what would have been helpful. Fish pot-au-feu main course was excellent. Dessert of curd 3 ways was imaginative if not wildly flavoursome.

Portions quite small, so if you've a big appetite, go elsewhere, or fill up with bread.

Very nice genteel atmosphere with enough buzz to make the evening enjoyable but not too loud for my old ears.

Quite reasonable IMO - 3 courses (including the relatively expensive sashimi starter) plus 3 beers came in at 45 Euros.

Service was friendly although the staff seemed a little over-stretched and sometimes it took a while to get their attention.

This restaurant is in a wonderful location within Hackescher Hof 1. We had dinner here and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Everything was delicious - wine, starters, main courses, and cheese plate to finish. The atmosphere was delightful, and the service was friendly and attentive.
