Voluntarily in prison? The slightly different restaurant in Berlin-Lichterfelde in the former women's prison offers an elegant indoor dining room as well as high tables in the lounge. In summertime also wonderful garden. You can enjoy an à la carte selection of fine bistro dishes, every Wednesday to Saturday from 5 p.m. Familiar things - always interpreted in a modern and surprising way. Plus wonderful wines and a lovely digestive choices.

We value stimulating culinary moments in a special place and encourage our guests to get to know new people.
Very important: We are an adults-only concept. All experiences in our house are only for people over 18.

    Thank you for making our Valentines Day so special! We absolutely cherished every moment of this dining experience! Starting from the uniquness of the place (former women prison) and the great choice of wonderful dishes, up to our favourite highlights of the evening: the really high-end, elegant, with enormous knowledge and best attention service (thank you Johnny!) together with a discovery of the pre-selected, non-alcoholic wines which for was for me a definite discovery of the evening. Thank you and it was definitely not our last visit there! :)

    Ein absoluter Geheimtip. Jon und Niko sind die besten Gastgeber, man fühlt sich gesehen und umsorgt. Das, und die hervorragende Einrichtung im ehemaligen Gefängnis, sind schon die lange Anfahrt wert. Und DANN noch das fabelhafte Essen, gepaart mit dem richtigen Wein… Fine Dining at its best. Danach geht es noch hoch in die wunderschöne Bar. Alles sehr stilvoll. Perfekte Date Location für jedes Alter. Fünf Sterne.
