Their promotion to three MICHELIN stars—the first for a German restaurant outside Europe—honors their masterful use of traditional pickling and curing techniques, blending the heart of heritage dishes with contemporary Central European influences. The experience blooms within a sophisticated, glass-walled garden setting that feels both nostalgic and avant-garde.
