Virtualounge Lan-Wohnung

The name sort of gives it away if you have any German: This attractive modern brasserie is housed in a former sugar factory, now a listed building. Exposed red brick walls and high ceilings give the setting an appealing industrial feel. In summer, the terrace is shaded by awnings. Flavoursome seasonally inspired dishes are served à la carte, with an additional set menu available. The waitstaff are pleasantly down-to-earth, very friendly and well organised.

This compact restaurant started out in autumn 2024 as a pop-up serving dishes à la carte. Today, it opens its doors in the evenings to present modern and creative cuisine in the form of two five- or seven-course set menus: "Eine Rundreise" and the vegetarian "Botanischer Garten". At the helm in the kitchen, Valentin Thesing (previously at Aqua in Wolfsburg) delivers expressive, harmonious flavour combinations in dishes such as "scallop, water spinach, coconut", complete with robust sauces and stocks. The restaurant is housed in the stately, lovingly renovated Jugendstil building of the Lindenh

In less than a minute, the lift takes you up to the 18th floor of the BraWoPark building near Hauptbahnhof. People come here to enjoy modern cuisine in a trendy, chic setting – not to mention the view. Try the choice cuts of the excellent beef aged in-house. Incidentally, the concept is the brainchild of TV chef and food professional Tim Mälzer. NB: two sittings per evening. On the floor above, rooftop bar and terrace.
