We went to Barra on Tuesday evening for my birthday, and it blew me away. My favorites were the Iberico pork loin and the trout entree. The pork was cooked perfectly, evenly pink all the way through, I'm guessing sous vide was part of their process. The seasoning hinted at cumin and worked beautifully with the charred broccolini, while the barley risotto tied everything together in a rich, savory sauce.
The trout was delicate and well-balanced. The fish, trout roe, and what seemed to be a mussel-based crème was fresh, sooo flavorful, and came together perfectly.
My partner, who usually avoids coffee desserts, loved the milk ice cream with cacao nibs, coffee caramel, and olive oil. The wine pairings the staff suggested were spot on for the savory courses, especially the trout and pork loin.
The vibe is relaxed and casual but with the precision of a much higher-end place. Service was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable without ever feeling pretentious.
At €79 for the tasting menu, this is one of the best value fine dining experiences in Berlin. I've been looking for a spot like this for ages, and I'm so glad I finally found it.
