Description

A fine dining restaurant in a supermarket? You can experience this novel culinary concept in the basement of The Crown, one of the largest food markets in Europe. It is not only the location that is worth mentioning: in addition to the smart decor and the partially open kitchen, the dedicated kitchen team turns out creative, modern and pleasingly pared-down dishes made using select produce. Chef Egor Hopp also successfully brings in influences from his Kazakhstan homeland, such as Smetana sauce or raschenka cream. There is a set menu comprising six courses in the evening and four at lunchtime.

Review summary

Located in the basement of a central Edeka market, Setzkasten offers modern international cuisine. Food quality is highly praised for its creativity, freshness, and precision, though some note small portions or occasional saltiness. Service is generally professional and attentive, yet occasionally criticized for being too rushed or intrusive. The stylish, relaxed atmosphere appeals to many, but the hidden underground location and limited views are drawbacks. While the concept is unique, some guests question the value and wine policy. Visitors should allow ample time for the multi-course experience.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking a unique culinary experience and refined modern cuisine who do not mind a hidden underground location.
