(25 Französische Straße in Berlin, Germany)

Aigner restaurant in the heart of Mitte Berlin enjoys views of the charming Gendarmenmarkt from its ...terrace and vistas of the French and German cathedrals. Aigner has furnishings rescued from the legendary Café Aigner in Vienna, from the billiard table to the modernist Thonet furniture, wine bins along the walls and mirrored ceiling, giving an air of elegant restraint. Private groups may make use of the billiard room. This is a fine restaurant and watering-hole for Berlin’s high-fliers – like former Chancellor Schröder -- though award-winning chef-owner Herbert Beltle cares little for that moniker. Instead, he concentrates on using the freshest ingredients to create excellent regional Austrian and south German cuisine alongside newer, lighter inventions. Signature dish is Tafelspitz, served in a brass kettle with haunch and shoulder of beef, veg, savoy cabbage, crème fraiche and apple-flavoured horseradish. Other dishes include ice cream of potato-leek soup with fried scallops, pink-fried calf’s kidneys in mustard sauce with potatoes, and Tete de Moine with fig mustard. Strong wine list. A few steps from the Schauspielhaus theatre. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable.

(5 Wartherstraße , Ecke Denningenstraße in Munich, Germany)

Champor Restaurant is reputed to be one of the best Asians dining experience in Munich (sometimes it...s wise to believe what you read in the papers). What’s certain is that it’s the Bavarian capital’s very first Malaysian restaurant. This colourful, sitting-room style restaurant is hot news, and pretty much always full at weekend. The food is excellent – fresh and spicy but not over powering, and definitely not Germanised. No doubt, the curry powders’ providence is of significance – they’re imported from Penang. From rendang curry to spicy chilli prawns, each dish is unique and no two sauces taste the same. And no MSG is used (the owner’s allergic). In summer, the crowd spills outside onto Champor’s cosy courtyard. If you’re in town as a visitor, you might like to know that Champor Restaurant is a short cab ride away from the Englischer Garten or English Garden, a glorious 18thcentury park bigger than New York’s Central Park, stretching verdantly from the city centre to its northeastern limits.

After 15 minutes the table will be given away Opening hours: Mon - Fri 11:30am - 2:30pm & 6pm - 11pmSat 6pm - MidnightClosed Sun Run by Kiren Alt, a Malaysian from Penang [moreless]

(Liebigstraße 47 in Frankfurt, Germany)

Since July 1993 the restaurant Gargantua has been located in Liebigstraße 47, in a beautiful town ho...use built in 1902. The building belongs to the Westend of Frankfurt where many houses have survived the war and also the building craze of the early seventies undamaged. Liebigstraße is a street with much green and many linden trees. It is located between the English style Grüneburg Park, Palmengarten and the synagogue. In front of the restaurant there is a garden where in summer we have room for about 30 guests. The garden is richly grown with ivy and equipped with traditional French garden furniture and marble tables. Here our guests are served in summer at noon and in the pleasant temperatures of the evenings - in late afternoon the garden lies in shade, and at night it is cooled by a gentle breeze stirring from Grueneburg park above. Our rooms point North, and that is why we have chosen warm tints of apricot and ocher for our walls, painted in an old technique from the South of France ? a style that may well be called an elegant country house style. The guest room is L-shaped, with two parts of about the same length. In the entrance there is a long table from cherry together with a wooden bench of Biedermeier style and old bentwood chairs. Here our guests can just have a glass of wine. All in all, the Gargantua provides space for about 45 to 50 guests. For the Gargantua cooking, only fresh ingredients are used according to the season. Our menu changes with the market. We cook according to the recipes of Klaus Trebes, who travels a lot and collects impressions to transform them into dishes that distinguish by the first class quality of the used products.
