Dae Mon Modern Cuisine with an Asian Twist

The lighting showing the way above the entrance of Restaurant Dae Mon is so discreet, you can barely spot it from the street. A true understatement which continues inside. Mild lighting. Dark whitewashed walls. Classic designs from Hans J. Wegner.

An isolated dark counter in the middle. The kitchen team works in the open kitchen in the back. There is a large table with elaborate wooden inlays. Large-sized intense pictures from Berlin artist Tina Winkhaus. And brilliant lighting in the long hallway leading to the rear of the restaurant.

The harmonious interior designed by Felix Pahnke has become more intimate over the years. Cosier. Without losing it's coolness. Similar to in a home, the rooms have been changing constantly since the opening in 2014. They grow. They show more and more of the team behind Dae Mon's soul.

On its own, this masters first and foremost two things: cooking and hospitality. Head chef Raphael Schünemann has proven to be a real godsend. He has been creating a completely new signature line for Dae Mon since last September after having been a part of diverse stations in the star-awarded gastronomy. With absolute success: he received 15 points from Gault Millau in November already.

Stefan Reinhardt describes today's cuisine with Korean-Japanese influence as "open minded cuisine" - an uplifted cuisine in which Asian aromas play with regional ingredients and unexpected exquisite dishes are created. Although there are barely any carbohydrates and vegetables are increasingly becoming the protagonist. - You absolutely have to go.
