Kitchen Library

What awaits guests at the Kitchen Library?

Those looking for upscale gastronomy in Berlin will sooner or later end up in Charlottenburg, specifically at the Kitchen Library on Bleibtreustraße. There, Udo Knörlein cooks a set menu, while Daniela Knörlein, as the hostess, guides the evening precisely, warmly, and pleasantly relaxed. Furthermore, the restaurant truly feels like a library, as over 600 collector’s items related to cooking stand between the shelves. This creates an evening that feels less like a grand stage and more like a culinary salon, but with very sophisticated cuisine.

What is the insider tip for menu selection?

The Kitchen Library does not offer a classic à la carte menu, but exclusively seasonal multi-course menus in the style of Casual Fine Dining. Guests can choose between 5-, 6- or 7-course menus, which are creatively composed and change regularly. The menus are complemented by extras such as mise en bouche, bread, petit fours, and other small intermezzo courses. A suitable wine pairing can optionally be selected for each menu.

Editor’s Conclusion

What we love about the Kitchen Library is that upscale gastronomy here dispenses with show effects yet remains sophisticated and stylish. Furthermore, we are convinced by the menu, the intimacy of the location, and the host’s energy, which makes the evening feel seamless. Therefore, we recommend the Kitchen Library as a top address for Casual Fine Dining.
