Two Michelin stars in the Mitte neighborhood — Rutz has been Berlin's most celebrated fine dining restaurant for over a decade, with chef Marco Müller building a deeply personal cuisine from German and European ingredients. The wine cellar (50,000+ bottles) and sommelier program are legendary. The tasting menu moves through wild herbs, North Sea fish, and game in a way that makes a genuine argument for the quality of German ingredients.
