A two-Michelin-starred (2026) intimate old town restaurant focusing on vegetables and spices, utilizing home-grown produce and fermentation.
Located at Weinmarkt 3 in the Old Town, this restaurant holds two Michelin stars in the 2026 guide, helmed by Andree Köthe and Yves Ollech. The dining room is small and intimate, seating about 20–25 guests, and requires ringing a doorbell to enter. The cuisine is vegetable-forward, adhering to a leaf-to-root philosophy.
