Berlin | Second Visit to Otto – Weekend Treats

Recalling a weekend dinner from last month I visited twice in one month, both times sitting at the bar. The young chef recognized me and made up for my previous missed dessert. 🍽️✨ Picture 3: Some of the kale was roasted to a crisp, giving it a unique texture similar to seaweed. Mixed with raw kale and a tangy dressing, it was refreshing and made for a decent appetizer. 🥬🍋 Picture 4: Kale-wrapped lamb. The sauce was delicious, but overall, the combination was just okay. Picture 5 shows the cooking process by the chef. I couldn’t help but feel their technique was a bit clumsy. Sitting at the bar, I kept worrying the leaves🍃 would burn—almost every plate had uneven cooking, some parts darker, some lighter 😳... though maybe it was intentional? Picture 5: Hands down, this is the best beetroot (Rote Beete) I’ve ever had—no earthy taste at all! After roasting, the flesh slightly shrank, paired with a rich cream sauce. The texture was incredibly genuine. Highly recommend this dish! 🍠🧈 Picture 6 (Left)⬅️: The Meringue dessert is a must-try! It’s not the usual solid, overly sweet meringue—it’s rich and creamy with a strong milky flavor! 🍰🥛 Picture 6 (Right)➡️: Another dessert, a sorbet with tangy berries wrapped in bubbly, wine-infused foam🫧, was dreamy and refreshing. 🍓🍾 It was a delightful meal! Though the kale-heavy dishes were a bit concerning—cruciferous vegetables, when undercooked, can inhibit iodine absorption, and dairy and gluten can increase inflammation. Graves' disease patients really have it tough~ 🥦🚫 #SavorTheFlavors #Berlin #Foodie #CityTastes
