Fodor's Expert Review VAU
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Exemplary and innovative food served in a refined atmosphere defines the experience at VAU. Much-lauded chef Kolja Kleeberg is a stalwart on the Berlin dining scene, and his Michelin-starred pan-European menu might include duck with red cabbage, quince, and sweet chestnuts, or turbot with veal sweetbread and shallots in red wine. The four- to eight-course dinner menus are €120 to €160; some dishes can be ordered à la carte. Lunch might be the best time to visit, when entrées are a bargain at €18. The cool interior was designed by Meinhard von Gerkan, one of Germany's leading industrial architects.
