Restaurant Tim Raue

August 28, 2025

Impeccable hospitality, creative Asian inspired menu, amazing wine cellar!! I had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Tim Raue, in May 2025. They were extremely accommodating of a reservation made on short notice. They were also very accommodating of my 7 year old son, who’s list of Michelin restaurant experiences is impressive and by no means his first experience. As I stated above the hospitality was world class. The food was exciting, incredibly tasty but approachable, and the wine cellar is incredible. I will definitely go back.

My wife and I were in Berlin for a weekend get away. This was our first 2 star Michelin Restaurant. We had high hopes only to be sorely disappointed. Food: Others said it best, the dishes lack any semblance of balance and flavors. Its either lacking any distinct flavors or is so unbalanced it is difficult to eat. They had a dish that had liquid nitrogen just for show, not sure what it added to the dish. The palate cleanser was a wonderful refreshing dish, light, sweet and refreshing, it was perfect, until you got to the bottom, there was an overpowering jalapeno, spicey flavor. We both couldn't finish our veal cheek and wagyu beef dishes, the concentrated flavor tasted burnt and salty. Take a look at the pictures, they are both small dishes, that's how disappointing it was. Service: Started out so good, she was wonderful and did her best to be welcoming. Then it went down hill, we had a conveyor belt of staff coming through with dishes, water and wine. It was just transactional and most of the staff seemed sad and tired. Decor: This is the first time I went into a high end restaurant to see a wall painting of a Berlin street with black garbage bags. Not sure who thought this would be a good idea. But I am not particularly fond of looking at garbage bags for 4 hrs. Summary: So many better places to spend your money and time as a added bonus, dinner for two was $1,000 with wine and upcharges. No idea what Michelin is thinking, 2 STARS.

This was truly a memorable dining experience. We ordered both menus and every single course across both the Koi & Traditional menus delivered a panoply of flavor, attention to detail, and top notch service. This is the first time I've dined at a Michelin star restaurant of any designation where every single dish was fantastic. Well worth the trip and experience!

Excellent meal and service. My waiter Oliver made particular effort to make me feel welcome and chatted as a solo diner. Food excellent, you definitely want to substitute a dish for the langoustine - my favourite course. Apparently it used to be punchier, which I would have liked. Running the marathon tomorrow so opted for the non-alcoholic pairing, which was excellent, probably the best AF pairing I've had. Would never choose an AF wine, especially a red, but the chilled pinot noir was great! As it was busy I was sat downstairs, which was fine but lacked a bit of atmosphere or being able to see the kitchen. They did pre-warn me to be fair to them.

Very interesting and unique food selection and flavors, loved it. Service was great, straight forward and great team all together. Wine selection is good, with some very special items. Hat off to the Sommelier that understands his job and makes the right decisions for clients.
