Tim Raue at work. He’s one of the most acclaimed chefs in Berlin, and perhaps in all of Germany; his restaurant, named after him, is at number 48 in the 50Best
Milan-Beijing? Stop in Berlin. Well, yes, it is funny: you get ready for the weekend, book your flight and hotel, check the temperature (minus 3 at night, plus 5 during daytime), take the train to Malpensa, the flight to Berlin Tegel, a taxi to the hotel and then one to Mitte... So far, so good. Berlin, the capital of the new German empire, Merkel-stadt, the city of Chancellor Angela, as well as cultural, artistic, political capital of united Germany welcomes us warmly, from Potsdamer Platz to Pergamonmuseum. And then right after the Brandenburg Gate, after hotel Hotel Adlon, Unter Den Linden, the most famous alley, begins.
The staff at Tim Raue
His story is a nice one: a failed architect, since he couldn’t pay his studies Raue decided to express his creativity in the kitchen. He first worked in hotel brigades, then finally opened his own restaurant in 2010. Today, on top of the restaurant named after him, Tim Raue, he runs La Soupe Populaire, which serves (hear, hear!) popular German cuisine, and Sra Bua, at Hotel Adlon, offering Asian cuisine.
