| Last reviewed: Mar 2026 Chef Cem Eksi, German-born and trained at Hotel Bareiss in Baiersbronn, flips the script with a tiny street food kiosk on a Beyoğlu side street. Currywurst with handmade sauces, fresh sucuk bread, mac & old cheddar, pici cacio e pepe. The name references Friedrich Durrenmatt, the interior is designed by his wife Pinar Karasu, an interdisciplinary artist. Serious craft disguised as casual chaos.
Editor's Tip
A Bareiss-trained fine dining chef making currywurst. The intellectual depth is hidden in the apparent simplicity. Featured in Vogue Turkiye.
