Undergound dining: Berlin's Shy Chef

The Shy Chef is a secret supper club in Berlin, Germany. Tucked away in a 19th century flat in Berlin’s bohemian district of Kreuzberg, the Shy Chef regularly cooks a delicious five-course set menu for up to six guests almost every night.

In the intimate setting of her own living room, guests get a genuine Berlin experience – a guerilla dining event in the home of a local Berliner.

With regards to the actual chef – well, the Shy Chef is called ‘shy’ for a reason, so she won’t let us give you that much information, we can tell you however that she has an international background, an enormous curiosity for food and an intense love for art and culture.

The Shy Chef has been cooking for years, starting off with a humble one-ring hot plate in London and moving on to a more well-equipped kitchen in Berlin, where she can happily attack any unsuspecting creme brulee with her cooking blow torch.

The Shy Chef finds her inspiration in the many places she has lived, including Scandinavia, Ireland and Italy.

As a supper club, the Shy Chef only accepts donations. A typical set menu includes asparagus cappuccino, scallops with an orange sauce, pancetta & leeks, mint-cured fillet of lamb with a goat’s cheese salad, fillet of cod with rhubarb salsa and walnut vinaigrette, milk chocolate creme brulee and warm berries, coffee and biscotti. Each course included a carefully matched wine.

    A total rip off that is how we felt when we left The Shy Chef-dinner. There was nothing unique or spectacular about the food. I don’t pay 60 Euro to be served lentil/bean soup, green salad with salmon or an average ravioli. The menu had absolutely nothing to do with what is shown on the website. Besides the actual chef was to full of himself and the atmosphere when he crashed on the couch obviously waiting for us to leave was more than unwelcoming.Anytime I would spend my money in one of Berlin’s many restaurants where the standard is much higher at a lower price, and where there is nothing secret about the concept.
