“Usually private rooms are booked. Now for brunch we have decided to convert them into kitchen theaters. It’s all about craftsmanship. We don’t do much at the back of the house, everything is done in front of the guests to show the chef’s freshness and know-how, ”explained Breuer.

“It was very important to us – we want the guests to feel and see the freshness and the tempura is on the other side. Yes, freshly made tempura,” he added.

Breuer said beef and seafood dishes are the most popular on the menu. Ramen is also available.

“I mean I would challenge you to try every dish, but you won’t be able to… But yeah, it’s a really nice variety here,” he said.
