Worth it for travellers on a budget, if you've only got a day and couples; not for families with kids.
What to order
The plates that decide it
Beetroot ravioli with smoked ricotta — a representative plate of the kitchen's regional-with-global-verve style
Braised wild boar (cold-season game) — freshwater fish and game lead the colder-month menu; lighter Northern-European cooking in summer
A glass from the wine list — a reliable complement; the duo lean on regional and small-grower bottles
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
The follow-up to the duo's much-loved Lode & Stijn — the same precise, produce-led hand, now in a more relaxed, regionally-rooted modern-European format.
Not independently verified — estimated
A genuinely chef-owned room run by Lode van Zuylen and Stijn Remi themselves, not a big-name brand, in the Suhrkamp publishing house on a foodie stretch of Torstrasse.
Not independently verified — estimated
It's a known, well-reviewed table on a busy strip, so book ahead — and the à-la-carte modern-European style is more relaxed than the marquee tasting rooms, which is the point, not a knock for everyone.

What it feels like
Reading the room, traveller by traveller
Couples
Quiet and considered — a good pick for a food-led date without the formality or expense of the top-tier rooms.
Solo
Comfortable for a solo diner; the à-la-carte format means you can come for two plates and a glass rather than commit to a full tasting.
Good to know
Before you go
Cost
Upper-mid; à la carte modern-European
Time
2–2.5 hours
