The Rezidor Hotel Group owned Regent Berlin's Fischers Fritz
restaurant, has been awarded two stars by Michelin, the French guide to
fine dining, for the third consecutive year.
Chef de Cuisine, Christian Lohse, has succeeded in maintaining his crown as
Berlin's only two Michelin-starred Chef, with his classic French cuisine with a
contemporary twist. In fall 2007, Lohse's dedication to his craft and relentless
pursuit of perfection placed him firmly at the forefront of Berlin's culinary
world, when he became the first Berlin based chef in 13 years, to merit two Michelin
stars.
"I am delighted to be celebrating this most sought after culinary honour, with
Christian Lohse and his team", said Stefan Athmann, General Manager at The Regent
Berlin. "To receive two stars from Michelin is an impressive achievement, to retain
them for the third succeeding year, is a great motivation for us all to continue to
strive even further in the pursuit of excellence."
By retaining the two Michelin stars for the third time, Christian Lohse again
confirms his position as one of the most celebrated chefs in Germany and follows up
on his previous awards. Prior to his engagement at The Regent Berlin he worked at
such renowned places like three-starred "L'Espérance" in Vezelay, the "Guy
Savoy" in Paris and "The Dorchester" in London, where he became the personal chef
to the Sultan of Brunei.
The Fischers Fritz's menu is an artistic and modern approach to French-inspired
cuisine, featuring exquisite fish and seafood delicacies. Subtle yet sophisticated,
the dishes complement the restaurant's atmosphere of balance and class. Simple
creations distinguished by the high quality of fresh produce have made The Regent
Berlin's gourmet restaurant a place of pilgrimage for gourmets.
Lohse sees the award as a great honour as well as a motivating reward: "I am
extremely proud of the great team effort of everyone involved in sustaining two
Michelin Stars for the third time in a row. It demonstrates the commitment and
dedication of the team's exacting standards. Our challenge in gourmet gastronomy is
to maintain a high-level of consistency day by day."
The Regent Berlin is located on the Gendarmenmarkt square with a beautiful view of
the French Cathedral and the concert Hall. The boulevard Unter den Linden, the
Brandenburg Gate and Friedrichstrasse with their exclusive boutiques are just a few
steps away. The very personal service and luxurious furnishings of the 195 rooms and
suites make the five-star superior hotel a popular address for celebrities, holiday
makers and business travellers. With highly modern conference and meeting rooms, as
well as the Michelin-starred Fischers Fritz gourmet restaurant, The Regent Berlin is
the ideal setting for any event.
