Estelle

Rebecca and Jared Bassoff's neighbourhood restaurant on Kopenhagener Straße: modern European cooking from a Gozney stone oven.

Rebecca and Jared Bassoff met in New York, at Joël Robuchon's Atelier in the Four Seasons, where Jared was sous chef. Rebecca comes from a family of restaurateurs in Baden and started at Traube Tonbach, then worked at the Four Seasons in London and spent five years at the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong, with chefs such as Pierre Gagnaire. Jared cooked at the Hôtel de Ville in Crissier, at Café Gray in Hong Kong and for four years with Matt Abergel at Yardbird. In 2016 he came to Berlin, first to The Store at Soho House.

Estelle on Kopenhagener Straße, a few steps from Schönhauser Allee S-Bahn station, is their own neighbourhood restaurant. The cooking is modern European, with produce mostly from the region. At its centre is a Gozney stone oven that reaches up to 450 degrees and turns out oven dishes and pizzas. Open for lunch and dinner, from 11 am at weekends.
