Duke

City West & Charlottenburg


Reservations for the Sunday jazz brunch in the spot where Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald once performed are much coveted, but Florian Gauert's aroma-rich locavore cuisine gets rave reviews at all other times as well. The airy dining room channels understated 1920s elegance, and the lovely courtyard is a great place to hang when the weather plays along.
