The partner's word

Kochzimmer serves menu-only, opulent four- to six-course tasting menus with no à la carte. The team comprises host Jörg Frankenhäuser, owner Claudia Frankenhäuser and sommelier Michael Fischer. The restaurant has held a Michelin star since 2015 for a cuisine described as having special finesse. On selected days it presents a four-course "kochZIMMER STARS" package, offers curated wine and non-alcoholic accompaniments, and sells a Sterne‑Menü‑Box for at-home preparation with nationwide shipping. Private dining and focused wine pairings further distinguish the guest experience. The house occupies the imposing listed townhouse Gaststätte zur Ratswaage at Potsdam’s Neuer Markt, a building with an inn tradition dating back to 1783. Guests enter through a formal, red‑carpeted entrance. The interior includes a dining room for about 40 guests, a separate chimney room with a fireplace for up to 14, and a romantic courtyard that seats an additional 24 in summer. Kochzimmer presents a self‑styled "New Prussian Cuisine" as a modern interpretation of regional Prussian dishes, combining regional artisan products with international influences and refined presentation. Dishes are carefully staged as multi‑course tasting menus and are indicated as gluten‑ and lactose‑free, with a vegetable menu available on request. Specialties include Stone mushroom & spruce (parsnip milk · wood sorrel · radish); Braised beef shoulder (celery · onion · chicory); and Pears from Zechin (parsley · guanaja chocolate · buckwheat).
