Die wesentliche Grundlage unserer Küche ist es, auf die klassische Menü-Folge Vorspeise-Zwischengang-Hauptgang-Dessert zu verzichten. Der Gast soll, ähnlich wie in den vielen sehr erfolgreichen spanischen Restaurants, jedes Gericht jederzeit bestellen können, also nach Lust und Laune nachbestellen, mit Freunden teilen oder einfach hintereinander weg als großes Menü essen. Dabei haben alle Gerichte die gleiche Größe und es wird keinen Hauptgang im dimensionierten Sinne geben. Die besten Grundprodukte stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Wir freuen uns darauf, Ihnen den Tisch mit kleinen leckeren Sachen voll zu machen. Wenn Sie noch nicht wissen, ob Sie großen Appetit haben, nehmen Sie doch erst einmal einen Drink an der Bar, ein Glas Wein oder ein erfrischendes Kölsch, dazu eine Kleinigkeit. Wenn Sie die köstlichen kleinen Gerichte sehen, kommt die Lust auf MEHR! Bestimmt.

    Very nice restaurant. Beautiful dining room but you do have to deal with the noises from the high speed trains constantly. Service was slow but very friendly. Great selection of vegetarian options. Cocktail was amazing!

    When traveling for pleasure, especially internationally, visiting some of the better restaurants in a given town is one of my higher priorities and pleasures. I have eaten at many restaurants with Michelin stars, and I can say with confidence that Taku is in the very top rank of restaurants at which I have had the pleasure to enjoy a supremely excellent meal and dining experience. The food is imaginative, thought-provoking, delicious, perfectly executed, and memorable in all positive ways. Each course was a true delight for the taste and for the eyes. The "club sandwich" course with a kind of Tonkatsu tuna "cutlet" on perfectly toasted brioche was a real standout. The servers are exceptionally talented, hitting just the right balance of friendliness and knowledge, without being stiff or robotic or overly formal at all. Each seemed to express real personality and enjoyment. I speak okay German, and everyone was willing to switch back and forth from German to English as needed. The sommelier was a real standout, sharing his enthusiasm for the wine choices, and explaining each wine happily and well. The pour on each wine-pairing was just right too. Sometimes in restaurants you barely get enough for 2-3 sips; however, here you received a nice half-glass ~ enough to enjoy with the course and a bit after until the next course. The pacing of the meal was excellent too, with no long waits between courses. All in all, it was an excellent meal. Highly recommended.
