OX

OX is a casual fine‑dining restaurant in the heart of Darmstadt founded by brothers David and Norman Rink in November 2019. The team sources from regional producers and partners such as slowmeat® and retails Bellota ham and curated fine‑food items via OX Manufaktur. An online shop sells house products, sauces, wines, gins and house‑brewed OX Draft Beer. Recognition includes three F in Feinschmecker, two red hats in Gault&Millau and, as stated on their site, a Michelin star for the third consecutive year. An intimate dining room with 24 seats, a Mediterranean inner courtyard and an OX‑bar offer a refined yet casual setting for relaxed fine dining. The kitchen pursues a contemporary, product‑oriented philosophy emphasizing seasonal, international, European and regional top ingredients refined with French, Mediterranean and Asian nuances. David Rink completed his chef apprenticeship in 2005 and worked at Backmulde Ladenburg, Schlosshotel Münchhausen and as sous‑chef at Trüffelschwein in Hamburg under Kirill Kinfelt before opening OX. Specialties include seafood and fish preparations, fresh pasta, Bellota and other cured meats, OX Manufaktur fine‑food products, house‑brewed OX Draft Beer and sous‑vide‑prepared grill meats.
