Troyka

Chef duo Alexander Wulf and Marcel Kokot propose a one-of-a-kind culinary experience, serving up Russian dishes with a modern twist and packed with flavour. The set menu is served by a highly adept and knowledgeable yet laid-back young team led by sommelier Ronny Schreiber – a real wine connoisseur, he surprises diners with interesting, not always conventional wine recommendations. In summer, the minimalist-style indoor dining space is complemented by a gorgeous terrace. Tip: Nab a seat at the counter facing the open kitchen for some fascinating insights into the chefs' work. There is also a screen showing the action at the kitchen pass. Incidentally, the name, the Russian word troyka means trio and refers to Wulf, Kokot and Schreiber – the three men who run this operation like a well-oiled machine and with great dedication. As an alternative to the fine dining set menu, you can order more down-to-earth bistro fare à la carte.
