About Restaurant Tim Raue

Restaurant Tim Raue does not whisper. The cooking is built on the chef's long-running obsession with Chinese, Thai, and Japanese flavours, but the grammar is his own: no starch-heavy comfort, no dairy blanket, and no fear of sharp sweetness or chile. Langoustine with wasabi and Cantonese-style duck remain the reference points, yet the menu keeps enough speed to avoid feeling like a museum of signatures. In a city that often prefers understatement, Raue still cooks in neon.

Menu highlights

  1. 4.0
    Editorial sample

    The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into asian-inspired detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured.

  2. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    Restaurant Tim Raue feels completely anchored in Kreuzberg: the room, pacing, and kolibri menu all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration.
