Vau Restaurant Berlin - Michelin Star Excellence

Vau restaurant scores well from the moment you walk in. Very modern and sleek in appearance it is very comfortable and undeniably up market! Superb evocative artwork by the multi-prize winning Cologne artist Oliver Jordan adorn the walls. A nice touch were the glossy catalogues of his work which we all enjoyed looking through. The architecture is exciting and thought provoking and over all it has a lovely atmosphere.

We were there for lunch with no time pressures and were very relaxed. A very good Saar riesling priced at 30 euros got the ball rolling. Not over alcoholic it was dry but with lovely pristine fruit, very easy drinking and would never give you heartburn and we stayed on it through out the meal. After considerable debate we all chose different things off the menu to get a good idea of what was on offer.

I had a homemade tagliatelle with venison ragout followed by roast halibut with cabbage and caraway. The venison ragout was the highlight for me but everyone's dishes challenged the taste buds and sensibilities. The presentation of the food was very imaginative and they are seriously trying here. The service was efficient, charming and friendly and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The portions are tiny which did not matter as we had eaten late the night before, had breakfast and were after being tempted by food rather than stoking up. But if you were in the mood to just normally eat then you would have to eat 4 courses plus the appetisers to fill up which would not be a cheap experience. The lunch for four cost 400 euros for two courses each, with 3 bottles of wine with a tip. We would all go back and felt that is was worthy of its michelin star.
