Soul food and sunset

The Rooftop Grill is the perfect place to enjoy the summer: delicious grilled dishes, juicy burgers and fresh starters in a unique atmosphere. Book your table for a relaxed dinner with the best view. Or simply drop by spontaneously for a refreshing drink in our lounge. And your visit isn't dependent on the weather. We have an awning that can be extended to provide shelter in the event of rain or strong sunshine.

Burgers, brisket and burrata

There’s something for everyone on our menu! Our chefs grill the finest meat from selected suppliers just for you. How about a veal ribeye, an ‘American-style’ chicken, or perhaps ‘Dada-style’ short ribs? A 1.1kg Caveman steak or simply a beef entrecôte?

Do you prefer vegan BBQ specialities? No problem – vegan burgers or grilled tofu with cauliflower are waiting for you. Fish lovers will be in for a treat with a Swiss salmon steak from the grill. Our varied selection of starters and numerous side dishes round off your evening meal with a unique view.
