Tim Raue was one of the first Michelin-star restaurants I experienced.
Let’s say – Check-point Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, Tim Raue – a great experience in Germany. Although Tim Raue is known for his excellence and appreciation for Asian cuisine, Brasserie Colette, a toned-down French-style restaurant is one of Chef Raue’s creations under his empire of restaurants.
With Tim Raue, once again making the top 50 in the World’s Best Restaurant List ( if you believe and like the list!), Michelle Tchea’s Chefs Collective shares Tim Raue’s Brasserie Colette Boeuf Bourguignon<
