IKIGAI **

This mindset guides the restaurant’s culinary direction blending French-Japanese cuisine, as well as its treatment of both employees and guests. The philosophy promotes appreciation, mindfulness, and a harmonious atmosphere. Executive Chef Christoph Rainer has for many years been at the helm of the Ikigai, one of the best restaurants in Germany which has been awarded two Stars in the Guide Michelin and five toques in the Gault Millau.
