In the neighborhood, on Potsdamer Straße, modern French gourmet cuisine comes to life at Irma La Douce, all while maintaining a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The elegant interior, with the large clock above the counter, is reminiscent of Parisian nights where time stands still and art and politics are discussed. Floor-to-ceiling wine racks, elegant wooden tables, and classic mirrors enhance the ambiance. Of course, the stylish white tablecloths, on which the dishes are attractively presented, are also present.
As guests, you can choose from classic dishes such as oysters, escargots, veal sweetbreads, or Filet Mignon. French cuisine is complemented by Italian culinary arts, combining refined gourmet dishes with simple ingredients. Risotto with wild mushrooms, gnocchi and beetroot, goat cheese, and Italian herbs refine the Boeuf Bourgignon or the classic Ratatouille. Even the exquisite beef tartare is not missing if you want to feel completely like you’re in Paris. The selection of dishes is sophisticated and varied. Champagne, French wines, and aperitifs are also available.
The service is pleasant, uncomplicated, and attentive. You can get advice on wine selection without immediately revealing yourself as a non-connoisseur. The modern creations are not available as prescribed menus. You can order à la carte as you please, enjoy a bouillabaisse before the main course, or have seasonal specialties served. Typical of French cuisine are rich sauces, fine meats and fish, and intense flavors.
