Borchardt

In the late 19th century, the original Borchardt opened next door at no.48. It became the place to be for politicians and society folk, but was destroyed in World War II. Now Roland Mary and Marina Richter have reconstructed a highly fashionable, Maxim's-inspired bistro serving respectable French food. So why not snarf down a dozen oysters and tuck into a fillet of pike-perch or beef after a cultural evening nearby?
