Rutz is just great! Very nice staff, super friendly and always a smile on their faces. We took our kids for dinner and it was no problem at all, they even made special food for them. The wine service was super friendly and very attentive. Food was simply amazing, we chose the Berlin Size Menu, wich was perfect in size and amount of dishes. We loved the easy going atmosphere which made it very easy to enjoy 3 star Michelin with our small kids.
The ambiance is modern but not cold.
It’s highly recommended, we loved it and we will come back. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience. I was super sick that day but couldn’t cancel on time, I’m glad I didn’t. Even tho I wasn’t at my 100% the flavours in every dish were amazing!! Technically perfect, not much they can improve tbh. All the temperatures, textures, techniques were executed perfectly. Service super friendly and attentive, timing between every dish was long enough to enjoy the company and the place but not to long. It took us 4 hours to go through the tasting menu, but time flew! Nice detail with the soap, every time I use it and smell it, reminds me the restaurant. Amazing experience! Thank you!

It was an amazing experience! Can really tell that the chef put their hearts into creating something different for the guest. A mix of interesting taste and texture. And as the staff explained, the food was not heavy. Definitely recommend! (Forgot to take a fish dish photo…)

I had the pleasure of dining here in April of 2024. They were accommodating of my 6 year old son. He has joined me on many dining experiences and is very well behaved. The food was creative, and expressed amazing flavours. The wine pairings were fantastic I will definitely return.
