Tantris

Tantris is definitely one of my Michelin highlights and an experience I’d love to repeat. Its interior is a piece of art as well as the food. Portions were very generous and there was a great mixture of creativity and harmony behind each dish. Wine pairings gave me a chance to learn more about some exquisite German wines once again and service was excellent: attentive, knowledgeable, warmhearted and truly passionate about their job. An absolute 10/10 evening!

Inventive and delicious, delivered with flawless, kind and knowledgeable service. The dishes were unique with extravagant ingredients and cateful balance. Wine pairing was a great tour of mostly local icons with some notable neighbors as well. A truly world class experience.

Very friendly service, great wine recommendations and a 2-star worthy 8-course dinner. Even one of the chefs came out and brought us our dish so we had the opportunity to chat about other topics than cooking. Would definitely come back to this „institution“ and only the Atelier under Jan was able to be slightly more impressive.

Dined in different 1-star and 2-star Michelin restaurants around Europe before and have to say that the overall experience at Tantris left me unimpressed. Out of the 8 course menu I only really liked two of the dishes and felt the rest of it was not very creative or special. The wine-pairing was very underwhelming. There was only one wine that really matched my expectation and taste. We did have a non-alcoholic wine pairing from which most of the liquids smelled and tasted like tea. There are some amazing and great non-alcoholic wines out there. In my pregnancies I tried many and what I got yesterday unfortunately wasn’t tasty but just felt like tea or juice. That being said, everybody has a different taste of course and it simply hasn’t been my taste. However I wish there would have been more background information such as why to pair this with that or what led the chef to compose the dish like that. Also it felt strange to have a bowl of mushrooms that was presented with the entree that was passed along all the tables. The best part of the dinner were the greetings from the kitchen from which I enjoyed all. The service was way too slow, at times I felt like as if we were forgotten. The overall atmosphere therefore wasn’t giving me a good feeling. Like said in the beginning, I’ve been to 2 and 1 star Michelin restaurants before and I simply don’t see the 2-stars reflected in yesterdays dinner experience. My favorite dishes in pictures:

If you are interested in culinary delights, you will stumble upon the name Tantris. My expectations were correspondingly high, even though it was my first personal experience in a 2-star Michelin restaurant. I was definitely not disappointed. The atmosphere at lunch was calm and pleasant. The decor was elegant, albeit classic. The service staff were always attentive, friendly and courteous without being intrusive. Especially if you have not eaten in a high-end fine dining restaurant before, the thought of feeling like a stranger in the restaurant could keep you away. However, I found it inviting and welcoming at all times. The food was a real experience. Visually, the plates were almost too beautiful to eat. The small snacks at the beginning alone were simply exciting. All the elements were well coordinated and made sense, although you have to expect that there are also corners and edges. New and innovative ideas are the reason I go out to eat and I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to taste the menu today. Keep up the good work! Thank you very much!
