Tulus Lotrek

Berlin, Germany

The name is a requiem to French impressionist and bon vivant, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, in honour of his famed soirées and gourmand proclivities. But this isn't classic French cooking. Nor is this your archetypal Michelin-starred establishment. Chef-patron Maximilian Strohe and co-owner and maître d' Illona Scholl's menu flows transnationally from cacio e pepe to scallops and sea urchin in XO sauce; barbecued quail with bergamot to turbot in sauerkraut beurre blanc. Dishes are often surprising, always skilful and sublime. Ocean trout with goat's milk and jalapeño? Why not. Beyond the quiet blue façade, the space marries simple Nordic wood with rich algae green paintwork and wallpaper depicting Rousseau-esque jungle scenes that playfully hide ingredients – much like Strohe's style of cooking. This place is buzzing and you'll definitely leave happy and smiling.
