Der Hahn ist Tot!

Prenzlauer Berg


A French children's ditty inspired the curious name, which translates as 'The rooster is dead!'. At this homey restaurant the deceased chicken is turned into coq au vin, the classic French country stew, which always features on one of the three weekly changing four-course dinners (one of them meat-free) that shine a spotlight on the best of French and German rural cooking.
