NEW GOURMET ADDRESS IN BERLIN! RESTAURANT GRACE OPENS AT HOTEL ZOO!
The Grace Restaurant at Hotel Zoo Berlin is becoming fast a hotspot of the city. The speakeasy-esque Grace Bar has already earned many devotees since opening in November 2014, and the new Grace Restaurant adds a finishing touch to the buzzed-about property on Kurfürstendamm.
The airy dining room of Grace Restaurant poozes laid-back sophistication, providing the backdrop for a menu where bold and unexpected exoticism elevates classic pairings.
The 200 sqm space offers 115-seats, is flanked by two terraces, and is accessed by a separate entrance on Kranzler Eck. White painted brick walls, champagne-hued wood paneling and industrial floor-to-ceiling windows are warmed by an open fireplace, ambient lighting and generous mirrors. Like the hotel, the restaurant bears the signature touches of LA/NYC based designer Dayna Lee.
The menu marries Asian and Italian influences with modern German musings, and in doing so, carves out a niche in the flourishing Berlin dining scene. A young, ambitious team leads the kitchen, playing with international flavors without overpowering the fine ingredients. The compositions are unique riffs on global favorites. Think tomato Yum Yum soup and tiger prawns topped with a pesto of Kaffir lime leaves and coconut cream, or pork belly roasted in sweet hoisin sauce and served with an edamame ragout. The timelessly sexy oyster is brought in fresh daily, served with Sicilian herb butter and gratinéed with aged Pecorino cheese.
About the Hotel
Hotel Zoo Berlin is once again the pride of Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm following extensive renovations in 2014 by American design team Dayna Lee and Ted Berner. Amid the revitalization of Berlin’s City West, the iconic Hotel Zoo Berlin is reinvented. With 145 rooms and suites, a rooftop terrace, a light-flooded Living Room, a winter garden, and the intimate Grace Bar, an iconic piece of Berlin history has made a grand comeback. Now, with the opening of Grace Restaurant and an entertainment concept run by the Berlin-based events agency Tehrani & Brandts, a legend is reborn. This venue is a fifth member of Design Hotels in Berlin.
