Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Thorsten Bender's creative cuisine certainly explains the popularity of this little restaurant nestled on a quiet residential street. The chef's distinctive style shines through in his technically accomplished, clearly structured dishes, into which he judiciously weaves Asian flavours. The power and intensity of the flavours are as impressive as the degree of finesse and refreshing notes. Top-notch ingredients take centre stage – think Icelandic ikejime char confit in ox marrow fat with roasted leek, leek ash, white Alba truffle and verjus sauce. The upscale interior has a chic, modern feel. S

At this fine addition to Karlsruhe's culinary scene, chef-patron Mario Aliberti fuses Italian cuisine with Asian influences. An appealing range of dishes is available: Lunchtime features reasonably priced set menus, plus a small selection from the evening menu. At dinnertime, there is a fine dining menu, an Italian menu and a sharing menu, as well as an extensive à la carte selection. Octopus cooked in black beer with ponzu beurre blanc and black garlic is a house classic. It is worth perusing the well-stocked wine list, too.
