What Paul Fröhlich dislikes about Taku:
The evening got off to a great start. Perfect ambiance, well received and an exciting 5 course tasting menu. Then it went rapidly downhill. We had to wait 1 hour 20 mins to get the first course which was simple poached cod... and it was...tepid. The manager had decided that the pairing wines would be biological. They were not just poor but some not drinkable. The only redeeming point from the evening was that the res... View all feedback.
Fantastic atmosphere, flavors, and service. Although I am not sure how much snickers has to do with Asian cuisine...the end snickers deconstruction dessert was spot on
We really liked eating, but were not too happy about the drinks. in the lowlands we often visit michael star restaurants and it is quite normal to order water from the hahn. the waitress said that would be possible, but we got bottled mineral water and later saw that they cost almost 10 euro per. also in a three smichelin star restaurant is the water cheaper. in the lowlands I ordered the half of the glasses of the pairing wine. that's never a problem. but at taku it is. they do not serve half glasses and the price of the pairing wines is also ridiculous. 85 euro for 6 glasses of 100 ml (and 100 ml it is, no more nips) and the pairing was mostly ok, but sometimes I did not agree with the sommelier. I wouldn't sauvignon blanc with a spicy dish. the funeral of my friend went better with the court and a cocktail with the dessert? I would have preferred a white wine. the atmosphere is luxurious and the staff ok. I missed a table or something to hang up my bag for my bag and if you go to the plough, don't expect your serviette to be folded by now. Maybe I'm too critical.

Pity that a potentially very good restaurant makes some basic mistakes.
Very satisfied from start to finish. Friendly staff, not pushy. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and imaginative. We enjoyed the 6-course menu, plus several amuse-bouches, for 3.5 hours at Taku. The price is reasonable.
We ate there quite spontaneously. The dishes were all decent, but nothing special or surprising compared to others. The service was okay, but the constant upselling was annoying, and the waitstaff kept changing. We're used to better than other restaurants, especially considering the price per person was around €400 (including wine). Overall, rather disappointing.
