[Germany: Berlin] CODA - Germany's First and only 2* Dessert Restaurant

Rating: 4/5

A sweet adventure at CODA - Germany’s first and only two-Michelin-starred restaurant inspired by desserts! Helmed by World’s Best Pastry Chef Rene Frank, CODA is renowned for its non-conformist concept of applying patisserie techniques to both sweet and savory dishes. The team craft progressive dishes without any refined sugar - all sweetness comes naturally from fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients. The result is a tasting menu of beautiful creations that look like desserts but deliver surprising sweet and savory combinations. Included in the menu is a thoughtful pairing of complex cocktail concoctions. I did think that the overall menu could have been more savory as many dishes had an element of sweetness to it. Standouts included the raclette waffle, BBQ apple with chicken skin, dike cheese tart, and the iconic caviar popsicle with Jerusalem artichoke - an absolute must-try. Another highlight was the kitchen tour near the end of the meal where we learned about their chocolate making process from bean to bar. Don’t come expecting a conventional fine dining evening - CODA is perfect for adventurous diners seeking something truly different and unique.
