A Michelin-starred tasting menu in the basement of one of Europe's largest gourmet supermarkets, where chef Egor Hopp folds his Kazakh roots into precise, produce-driven modern-European plates.
Opened in 2018 in the basement of the Zurheide Feine Kost supermarket at The Crown, Setzkasten turns market ingredients — dry-aged beef, truffles, fish straight from the counter upstairs — into a genuinely serious six-course tasting menu. It held a Michelin star from 2020, lost it in 2022 under a change of kitchen leadership, and won it back in June 2025 under current chef Egor Hopp, who has since defended it. Hopp folds in Kazakh touches — smetana, okroshka, dumplings — without turning the menu into a gimmick.
The chef's table, ten seats in the open kitchen, is the way to see the produce-to-plate pipeline up close. A corkage fee unlocks the entire wine department upstairs, which is most of the point of eating in a supermarket basement in the first place.
