AS am See

AS am See is a vinothek, bistro and restaurant offering sophisticated, contemporary cuisine. The kitchen philosophy emphasizes seasonal, modern menus in which carefully selected components are creatively combined to produce surprising flavour experiences. The venue has been recognised by the Michelin Guide (SELECTED). The dining room presents a relaxed, stylish ambiance in a lakeside setting, with an informal yet elegant vibe and attentive, unforced service intended to pamper guests. The cuisine is contemporary and seasonal, focusing on sophisticated preparations with menus that change with the seasons and draw predominantly on regional ingredients. The team designs courses to highlight refined technique and seasonal produce. Andreas Staack is the head chef who composes the seasonal menus and personally recommends wines chosen to harmonize with the character of the dishes; he brought a considerable reputation from the Berlin restaurant scene to the Brandenburg lakeside. The combination of seasonal regional sourcing, wine-focused pairings and a chef who works across kitchen and front-of-house defines the house style. Specialities include three variations of duck liver with sour cherry chutney and brioche; gnocchi with morel cream and sot-l'y-laisse; cod loin with caper butter, tomato and chive oil; lamb saddle with sautéed beans and bay jus; and chocolate with kumquats and caraway ice cream.
