Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Brandenburg Gate's historic grandeur meets culinary artistry, Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer Berlin elevates fine dining to theatrical heights within the legendary Hotel Adlon Kempinski. This two-Michelin-starred sanctuary transforms each meal into an intimate performance, where select tables offer front-row views of Berlin's most iconic landmark.
The restaurant's heritage traces back to 1907, when hotelier Lorenz Adlon envisioned creating the world's most opulent hotel. Today, Chef Jonas Zörner continues this legacy of excellence, bringing fresh creativity from his acclaimed tenure at Michelin-starred GOLVET while honoring the Adlon's storied culinary traditions. Under Zörner's direction, the kitchen has maintained its prestigious two-Michelin-star status and 18/20 Gault&Millau rating, cementing its position among Berlin's finest restaurants.
Zörner's French-based cuisine showcases extraordinary technical precision through seasonally-driven tasting menus that celebrate Germany's finest ingredients. His signature marinated hamachi exemplifies this philosophy—pristine fish enhanced by green strawberries' gentle acidity and caviar's briny depth, finished with delicate beurre blanc infused with aromatic dill oil. The six-course tasting menu can be augmented with additional selections, allowing gourmands to explore the chef's full repertoire of refined compositions. Each dish demonstrates flawless execution, from tender beef with Roscoff onion to sophisticated pigeon preparations featuring black garlic and curry.
The dining room itself embodies classical luxury, with wood paneling, plush carpeting, and elegant bookcases creating an atmosphere of understated grandeur. The restaurant's intimate scale ensures personalized attention from Oliver Kraft's exceptional service team and sommelier Hans-Martin Konrad, recognized among Germany's top wine professionals. Their curated cellar features rare Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Tuscan selections, with pairings designed to complement each course's intricate flavors.
Private dining options include a cozy library with working fireplace for intimate gatherings, plus elegant salons overlooking Pariser Platz for larger celebrations. The restaurant operates Wednesday through Saturday evenings, maintaining an exclusive atmosphere that attracts discerning diners seeking Berlin's most sophisticated culinary experience.
Reservations at Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer require advance planning, particularly for coveted Brandenburg Gate-view tables. This is destination dining at its finest—where historic luxury, contemporary innovation, and impeccable service converge to create unforgettable evenings in the heart of Berlin.
