we really liked eating, but were not too happy about the drinks. in the lowlands we often visit michael star restaurants and it is quite normal to order water from the hahn. the waitress said that would be possible, but we got bottled mineral water and later saw that they cost almost 10 euro per. also in a three smichelin star restaurant is the water cheaper. in the lowlands I ordered the half of the glasses of the pairing wine. that's never a problem. but at taku it is. they do not serve half glasses and the price of the pairing wines is also ridiculous. 85 euro for 6 glasses of 100 ml (and 100 ml it is, no more nips) and the pairing was mostly ok, but sometimes I did not agree with the som...
Does one Michelin star justify Euro 300 for 4? Maybe, but we felt underserved: for one, while delicious and accompanied by many greetings from the kitchen , the Euro 24 32 priced entrees are very small even if it were appetizers. Now, if you do not...want to order a whole 4 7 course menu, some items are priced separately. If you think you can order these a la carte think again: the rule is that every table can only order from the same 6 7 menu courses, e.g. the so called Spielwiese . Should you have the idea to order items that are marked with a price, but are from other several course menus, your order will not be accepted. Who came up with that? Finally, our server was friendly but couldn...
The evening got off to a great start. Perfect ambiance, well received and an exciting 5 course tasting menu. Then it went rapidly downhill. We had to wait 1 hour 20 mins to get the first course which was simple poached cod... and it was...tepid. The manager had decided that the pairing wines would be biological. They were not just poor but some not drinkable. The only redeeming point from the evening was that the rest of the courses were excellent. Pity that a potentially very good restaurant makes some basic mistakes.
When I was told an Asian restaurant had one Michelin star I was not interested. We have lived on Penang Island for 3 years so we know some of the best Asian food in the world, and you cannot walk around Penang Island awarding Michelin...stars as This style of food changes every day. However Taku is different. Although it is Asian in origin, I would not call it Asian, but modern cuisine. The food is superb, the chef’s skill at arranging and matching of flavors is delightful. Everyone should experience this restaurant.
a deserved michelin star, we enjoyed the experience. it was our first Asian inspired turn to a tasting menu. All about the experience was excellent.
