"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 seamlessly incorporates Asian flavours. A shining example is the raw marinated Icelandic char, thinly sliced and artfully arranged in the shape of a rose, accompanied by slivers of daikon radish and pear, as well as a green bergamot and coriander sauce, creating a harmonious interplay of acidity and fruitiness. Here, top-notch ingredients take centre stage. The upscale interior has a chic, modern feel. Friendly service comes courtesy of Franziska Dufner's experienced team – the chefs are also on hand to serve their dishes. The evening set menu comprises five to eight courses. A vegetarian alternative is also available by prior arrangement. At lunchtime, there is a four-course set menu, expandable to five courses." - Michelin Inspector

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Tucked away in Karlsruhe, this small restaurant truly delivered. The dishes showcased great technique, using some of the best ingredients available. We had one vegetarian menu and it was very creative, and showed unique uses of ingredients that we have never seen before. In my opinion, the desserts have room for improvement and are not the restaurant’s strongest aspect.

Excellent meal at this 2 starred place by Thorsten Bender. A small intimate restaurant with only 2 chefs!! running the kitchen the menu here is Scandinavian / Japanese minimalist with big flavors. Excellent value for money at €240 for 8 courses and plenty of amuse bouche and petit four. Service from Franzi and team also very personable and nice. I will be back. The langoustine dish was outstanding. TFF

I have dined here several times, and now the restaurant has been upgraded to a Michelin two-star rating, with a particularly extensive selection of appetizers and desserts. Today, I am having lunch here to celebrate my graduation from KIT 🎓. If I pass through Karlsruhe in the future, I will definitely come back to dine here.

Best Michelin star restaurant we've been to in Germany. It's modern, smart casual and unpretentious, just amazing food. I'm pleasantly surprised that they used calamansi creatively, it's a citrus from my country that we used in a lot of dishes too.

Interesting dishes with some Asian inspiration. The flavor is a bit too strong in my personal taste though, which could be polarizing for seafood.
