REMI
The modern-European Mitte restaurant from Lode van Zuylen and Stijn Remi, on the ground floor of the Suhrkamp building on Torstrasse.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
After closing their acclaimed Lode & Stijn in 2023, the Dutch duo regrouped here on Torstrasse with a looser, more à-la-carte register — regional ingredients given global verve, 'uncomplicated and fun to eat' rather than a fixed tasting-menu march.
Our read - 02
The glazed ground-floor room is bright and contemporary, and the cooking still carries the same precise hand.

The plates that decide it
- Beetroot ravioli with smoked ricotta — a representative plate of the kitchen's regional-with-global-verve style
- Braised wild boar (cold-season game) — freshwater fish and game lead the colder-month menu; lighter Northern-European cooking in summer
- A glass from the wine list — a reliable complement; the duo lean on regional and small-grower bottles
Plan it well

- Upper-mid; à la carte modern-European
- Allow
