Coda

Coda is the dessert-only tasting menu room René Frank opened on Friedelstraße in Neukölln in 2016, and the only restaurant in the Michelin Guide Germany whose programme is built entirely around dessert. Seven or eight courses, savoury components used as bridging seasoning rather than as primary, no refined sugar, the protein-and-fat structures of cooking technique applied to ice creams, fermentations and grain. One Michelin star since 2018. The room is small and dark; the format reads as a deliberate provocation that the guide accepted.
