A Michelin-starred culinary concept, inspired by classic patisserie techniques and a different way to dine.
Thanks to my good and dear friend and chef Thomas Bühner, I got to know Rene Frank.
We once met in Thomas's former 3 Michelin star restaurant, La Vie in Osnabrück where he was working as a pastry chef at the time.
We shook hands and there our ways parted again. Until a while ago, when I got an assignment for which I needed a pastry chef. I called Thomas who in turn called Rene.
At that moment I remembered Rene again but that he had developed so far had completely escaped me.
Very impressed with what I had heard, read and seen, I called him and we have been in contact ever since.
Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, I have not (yet) had the opportunity to visit him and see his restaurant and try the menu, but I can tell you that I already know that what I suspect will come true: get a fantastic experience at CODA!
