Troyka

Chef duo Alexander Wulf and Marcel Kokot propose a one-of-a-kind culinary experience, serving up modern dishes with a Russian twist – sometimes incorporating quintessential flavours such as dill, sour cream or beetroot, and at other times creating elegant interpretations of Russian classics such as vareniki or zakuski. Shining examples include "red cod, Russian kimchi, kohlrabi, peanut" or "Maibock (seasonal venison), vareniki, mushrooms, pine cones". The set menu is served by a highly adept and knowledgeable yet laid-back young team led by sommelier Ronny Schreiber – a real 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. Fun fact: The name, the Russian word troyka means "three-horse team" and refers to Wulf, Kokot and Schreiber, who run this operation like a well-oiled machine and with great enthusiasm. As an alternative to the fine dining set menu, you can order more down-to-earth bistro fare.
