My wife and I last visited the Setzkasten gourmet restaurant in April 2024. This was my third dinner there after Dec 2021 and Jan 2023. Service: The team was very friendly and very accommodating. There was a good atmosphere, which had a pleasant effect on the relaxed atmosphere. Eat: The menu was again carefully planned and implemented. I would now generally choose the kitchen style. as a mixture of classic and modern elements. What was very striking in my opinion was the extensive avoidance of Asian interpretations. For this purpose, some Eastern European interpretations have been used under the again changed - namely now sole - kitchen management of Mr. Hopp. In my opinion, the cuisine largely maintained the standard compared to the last visit: I found the confectionery very good, but noticeably reduced. Overall, I would rate the starter with bluefin and the main course with lamb as very good. I found all of the other dishes to be at least excellent. Particularly noteworthy in my opinion were the wonderful amuses, an excellent intermediate course with John Dory, a great pre-dessert and the impressive dessert with cherry. Wine: Overall, I really enjoyed the wine pairing. The style, character and origin of the wines were again very varied. All of the wines tasted at least very good, but mostly excellent, and all of the wines went very well with the dishes. This time some wines had characteristics that were new to me - in particular a wine from Patagonia. Presentation: I would still describe the presentation of the dishes and components as very good to excellent. This time I didn't think the color schemes and decorative elements were worth highlighting to the usual extent. The textures were perhaps no longer as elaborately arranged as on the last visit, but I still liked them very well to excellently - several spheres stand out in particular and I would still describe the textures as a strength of the cuisine. The presentation again included a whole series of beautiful “special effects”. These were several simple positioning effects, a simple DIY effect, and two or three simple surprises. Also two or three notable sculptural elements and one or two fake effects. The service intensity of the extensive team at and around the table was very high - however, components at the table were only added or changed in a few cases. I found the introductions and explanations of the dishes to be very good to excellent. The kitchen team, including the head chef, took part in this on several occasions. The team has recently announced and visualized the individual dishes using stylized images and descriptions in postcard format. The pictures remain on a stand at the table. The portion sizes were perfect again this time. The team improved the timing, I thought it was very good now. I thought the presentation of the wines was excellent. All wines were presented with appealing introductions and explanations. Rooms and location: The restaurant is easy to reach by public transport. The location in a supermarket is a great unique selling point. In my opinion, this doesn't detract from the fine dining experience - nor does the fact that the room is in a windowless basement. In my opinion, the ventilation and the noise level were impeccable. The furnishings have been loosened up and I would still describe the style as elegant. Many tables offer an extensive view of the kitchen. The restaurant shares a toilet with the supermarket. Price: In my opinion the food and wine were excellent value for money. In summary, I would say that the case easily met my expectations and in some respects exceeded them. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.
