Throwback to a beautiful afternoon at our Flower Café with artist and illustrator Kera Till. 🎨💐

Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming for a very special illustration workshop surrounded by flowers, creativity and plenty of late summer sunshine. As we enjoy what might be the last warm and sunny days of the season, we are looking back on this wonderful afternoon with a smile. ☀️

And there is already something to look forward to: next year, Kera Till will return to the Flower Café for another illustration workshop, with tickets available for guests to join. More details coming soon. Stay tuned! ✨

The taku anniversary month begins! ✨

This October, we are celebrating a very special milestone: 25 years of taku. To mark the occasion, Restaurant Manager and Sommelier Daniel Malskorn has created a special anniversary w**e in collaboration with the renowned German w**ery Schlossgut Diel. The 2025 Riesling Kabinett combines delicate sweetness and vibrant acidity with notes of white peach and green apple, rounded off by a cool, saline minerality. Light, fresh and beautifully balanced, it is a w**e created to celebrate 25 years of taku. 🍷

Throwback to taku & friends no. 15 by Mirko Gaul! 🎉

Last Sunday, taku opened its doors once again for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience. Guests enjoyed a unique glimpse into the Michelin-starred kitchen and followed Mirko Gaul and his team up close, right in the middle of the action. An evening defined by vibrant energy, personal encounters, and exceptional flavors. 🍽️

Thank you to our guest chefs Filip Czmok from Boutique Hotel Marielle, Frédéric Morel from Restaurant Cœur d’Artichaut and Fritz Benson from Restaurant THEODOR'S for bringing their individual culinary styles and creativity to the taku kitchenparty. ✨

A special thank you also goes to sommeliers Lucas Wenzl from Zwanzig23 by Lukas Jakobi and Dennis Ruhl from Restaurant Vendome for accompanying the evening with a selection of their personal favourite w**es, to the PULS team for their signature cocktails, and to DJ Basti M for setting the mood with the perfect soundtrack. 🍷🍸🎶

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made taku & friends no. 15 such a memorable evening! ✨

25 years of taku! A journey shaped by memories, passion and the people who have made it what it is today. 🎉

What began on 9th October 2001 has grown into so much more than a restaurant. For those who have shaped taku over the years, it is a second home, a place for creativity and a shared passion for creating memorable experiences, both on the plate and beyond. 💫

For more than 17 of those years, Michelin-starred chef has left his unmistakable mark on .taku. Together with his team, he has continuously evolved its cuisine: freer, more creative and always driven by one simple idea: to create exceptional food and memorable experiences for our guests. 🍽️

Throughout October, we invite you to experience a menu that brings the story of taku to the table, with six dishes from different chapters of Mirko Gaul’s journey reinterpreted with the creativity and signature of taku today, accompanied by our anniversary sparkling w**e and Riesling Kabinett, specially selected to complement the menu. 🍾

Here’s to 25 years of taku and to everything still to come! 🥂
