Previously, this was situated in the historic significant and listed building of today’s ELLINGTON HOTEL. In the past, the stock of 70 million DM, among other things, was safeguarded here at the time of the sign-on benefit after the opening of the wall. Now, guests at the DUKE restaurant can discover history for themselves and select their wine for the meal. Wine lovers and wine experts can additionally participate in exclusive wine tastings at the DUKE.
160 different wines, mainly from France, Italy, Spain and Germany; topped off by Austria and South Africa, are stored in a 35m² large “wine vault”. These include specialties such as the 1971 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse as magnum, the 1983 and 86 Grand Cru magnum bottles Chambertin Côte de Nuits from Camus Père et Fils and the 1981 Sassicaia magnum. The offer includes wines from 22 euros for the crisp summer Rosé ”Chateau de Pampelonne“, 75 euros for Antinori’s ”Tignanello“ up to 480 euros for the Château La Mondotte 1999.
“Our pricing is very fair, and above all, customer orientated. We wish to make famous wines such as these accessible, particularly those which scare customers off in top restaurants due to their exorbitant prices and then end up with vino della casa,“ said the vicarious hotel manager, Gunnar Gust. Along with the classics, many “secret tips“ can be found in the “wine vault,” which perfectly complement the unique culinary creations of the DUKE chef, Carsten Obermayr. The restaurant was opened in May 2007 and presents a new highlight on the Berlin gastronomy scene with its creative and diverse top-quality cooking at fair prices, in the best city location between the Kurfürstendamm, the zoo and the KaDeWe. The menu boasts Mediterranean and Asian dishes, which are distinguished by their creative and original preparation and presentation.
