Fillet of Soul

Frommer's Review

Its name implies a role as a jazz club, but that's not the case with this cozy, postmodern dining room that's positioned on the ground floor of the wing of the Deichtorhallen that's devoted to the photography exhibits. Here, within a minimalist setting that includes walls painted in a vibrant tone of red, but softened with lots of exposed wood, you'll find a restaurant favored by local residents who seek it out as an entity unto itself, with little or no intention of ever actually visiting the museum that contains it. The place does a somewhat languid business as a morning and midafternoon cafe, but its real heart and soul is devoted to its role as a restaurant. The kitchen changes its menu according to the seasons and the availability of fresh ingredients, but regular menu items are likely to include pink-roasted breast of goose with saffron-flavored rice and Thai basil; pan-fried zanderfish with bacon-studded sauerkraut and parsley sauce; and, for lighter appetites, spinach salads accented with grilled strips of salmon. Raspberry-flavored tiramisu makes for a tempting dessert.
