Leglers

In the small, refined bistro, big things get cooked up — seasonal and French-international, always rich in contrast and with a satisfying depth of flavour. Chef Max Legeler knows his craft inside out, and host Jörg Brandt doesn't just have excellent taste in wine, he's also an outstanding barman.

Insider tip
The cocktails and drinks here are excellent: the pear sour, say, or the Old Cuban, or the Espresso Martini, subtly sweetened and seasoned with nothing but blackberry liqueur. At this bar, real discoveries can be made — over apéro, through the meal and after.
What you should know

The kitchen

A modern bistro with a precise hand: sashimi of Faroese salmon with radish, grapefruit ponzu and beurre noisette. Braised lamb shoulder with artichoke vegetables, potato gratin and black garlic jus. Veggie: grilled pointed cabbage with cauliflower purée and curry sauce. For dessert, semolina flammeri with ginger crumble and rhubarb compote.

Atmosphere

The small bistro is designed with a clean-lined elegance, yet feels cosy all the same. Especially on weekends, Legeler's is particularly popular and wonderfully bustling and lively — booking ahead is a must.
