Weinbar Rutz

Weinbar Rutz Review

The Rutz might be the most unassuming Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. Its narrow facade is tucked away on a sleepy stretch of Chausseestrasse (the northern extension of Friedrichstrasse), but its location belies its excellence. The victual creations of chef Marco Mueller are small masterpieces. The elegant and enjoyable ambience matches the quality of the food, with surprising combinations like roe deer with stinging nettle puree, or monkfish with a ginger and radish ragout. For a truly astonishing array of flavors, try the "Inspiration" tasting menus, which offer dual interpretations (labled "experiences") of luxury ingredients like goose liver or Wagyu beef. Sommelier and owner, Billy Wagner, is there to recommend wines from a list of more than one thousand vintages—the largest selection in all of Berlin.
