ATAMA by Martin Stopp

In a chic space, Martin Stopp, who made a name for himself at LOUIS in Saarlouis, presents two exceptionally interesting set menus: Menü für die Seele (Menu for the Soul), which is pared back and ingredient led, and the creative, somewhat more playful Menü für die Sinne (Menu for the Senses). The former, for example, impresses with a perfectly cooked saddle of fallow venison with an exquisite black pudding crust and fresh cranberries, finished with a wonderful dense and intensely flavoursome shiso Rouennaise sauce. The other boasts exciting combinations such as veal and unagi, pea ash, myoga and mint. Both set menus are available in five-, six- or seven-course formats. The exceedingly friendly and professional service aligns perfectly with the sophisticated setting – even the chef and his team serve up dishes. Alternatively, there is the Bar Menu comprising nine amuse-bouches. At lunchtime, you can opt for the three-course Stammtisch-Menü or a five-course version of the evening fine dining set menu.
