The luxury Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is located on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central Mitte district.

Primary sights like the Reichstag, Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie are all a short stroll away.

The interior of the restaurant is luxurious, prestigious and with some traditional German stylish elements.

Chef Hendrik Otto is in charge of the kitchen. He started working at the restaurant in 2010 and quickly gained recognition from the German and international gastronomy world. The chef serves an international style where he reinterprets famous classics and creates his own culinary works of art. Main products are served with respect. Wines are carefully chosen and presented by Iranian sommelier Shahab Jalali. The dynamic sommelier perfectly complements Head Chef Hendrik and Restaurant Manager Boris Häbel.
