Despite its location at the end of busy Friedrichstrasse in Mitte, the newly opened restaurant “Pantry” feels covert and hidden. Entering through the bamboos and the screens, you’ll find yourself in a peaceful and cozy interior. The heavy leather seatings allow you to let go of time and space, inviting you to lean back and enjoy; an easy task if you ask me, since everything on the menu stimulates your appetite. Although this does make it difficult for you to decide what to have. I had perfectly seared scallops as a starter, entrecôte from the grill with green asparagus,red wine infused shallots plus sweet potatoe crullers for a main dish. I was perfectly satisfied afterwards but of course couldn’t resist the “Rise of Death by Chocolate” – and yes, this fondant was a dream come true!
