Berlin, Germany
From Michelin Guide
As you enter the exclusive Hotel Adlon Kempinski, the lobby sets the tone for the refined feel of the restaurant on the first floor. With a little luck, you will get a table with a view of the Brandenburg Gate. The sophisticated, classically opulent interior meets its match in Reto Brändli's wonderfully refined and creative French cuisine. Consistently top-notch ingredients are used to create elaborate and exquisitely balanced compositions that showcase superb technical precision – the sauces are extraordinary with their flawless consistency and aromas! The service team led by Oliver Kraft and sommelier Hans-Martin Konrad is also outstanding: from the outset, diners are treated in an extremely courteous and professional manner. Judicious wine suggestions plucked from a comprehensive wine list.
