Overview
- Sphere Tim Raue is now fully operational after its cash system failed on opening night, with all guests receiving full refunds and vouchers for future meals.
- Signature dishes include Oma Gerdas Eisbein vom Spanferkel, Königsberger Klopse vom Kalb and Berliner Schweineschnitzel interpreted with Raue’s modern twist.
- Head chef Rolf Gerz, a native Berliner, leads the kitchen and shapes the menu around Berlin and Brandenburg culinary traditions.
- Raue declared sweet-and-sour kidneys “horrible” and said he avoids Nierchen süßsauer despite its presence on many local menus.
- While filming in Munich, Raue praised Bavarian taverns and urged the establishment of similar casual guesthouses in northern Germany to enrich national food identity.
