(1 MINUTE READ)<\/span><\/p>\n

Soo Choi, owner of Korean bar and restaurant, Choi, shares a motto that I think we could all do with remembering: \u2018stay foolish, stay thirsty!\u2019<\/h5>\n

Tucked away on Fehrbelliner Stra\u00dfe in Prenzlauer Berg, Choi is the perfect place to exercise such mottos. Operating as a restaurant and wine bar for just over a year, Soo brings contemporary Korean cuisine to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Twelve seats make up the solid wood table that surrounds the bar, with another two or three tables for couples, creating an intimate yet totally relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The wine list is carefully curated including wines from small-scale, family-run vineyards. Soo worked closely with producers to find the perfect wines to complement the food, with a focus on German, New Zealand and Argentinian wines.<\/p>\n

\nDishes are served both as \u00e0 la carte and from set menus. We\u2019d recommend opting for one of their three, eight course menus ; \u2018sinseon\u2019, \u2018seonbi\u2019 or \u2018sura\u2019. These can be made with meat, fish, vegetarian or vegan and comprise of seasonal ingredients that emphasise fresh, crisp flavours.<\/p>\n

Each dish that arrives looks like a work of art, and is served on beautiful, antique or contemporary ceramic dishes designed by Korean artists; the mismatch of plates and bowls serves as a reminder of Soo\u2019s ambition to marry contemporary and traditional cuisine.<\/h6>\n

With the eight course menus, you can enjoy dishes like blanched monk-fish with chilli sauce, squid and pickled radish roll, minced beef with lotus root and shrimp and finish it all off with some creamy black sesame ice cream.<\/p>\n

Restaurant Choi strikes a careful balance between fine dining and feeling like you\u2019re having dinner at a friend’s house. It\u2019s obvious how much care has gone into creating a balanced menu that honours traditional elements of Korean cuisine while elevating those dishes with a modern and innovative take.<\/p>\n

Remember- arrive foolish, thirsty and hungry!<\/p>\n
