A pleasingly vibrant restaurant and bar reminiscent of a traditional trattoria. In keeping with the Italian spirit, chef-patron Tyler Hanse serves up traditional yet ambitiously executed cucina italiana, with house-made pasta as the main event.

Choose from the à la carte menu or put your trust in the surprise menu. The classic interior, peppered with more modern, designer touches, is appeal

A long, mirrored corridor leads you to an interior characterised by distinctive architecture and a clean-lined, minimalist, Far Eastern design. The food is no less interesting: The Japanese-inspired cuisine is completely vegan, with fermented food playing a major role – hence having built their own Fermentation Lab. The creative seven-course set menu can be extended by an additional course. The dishes seem pleasingly pared back, although a lot of effort has gone into them.

In this tiny – perhaps even the smallest – restaurant in Berlin, authentic sushi is served in a minimalist setting as an affordably priced omakase menu.
