Caroussel Novelle

Bülow Palais, Dresden, Germany · June 2026

A Baroque town palace in Dresden's Neustadt with a small dining room that connects Saxon produce to French technique, and credits neither. Serious work with the materials at hand.

The Bülow Palais is a Baroque town palace in Dresden's Innere Neustadt, with the Caroussel Novelle restaurant at its centre. The kitchen connects seasonal Central European produce to French technique without announcing itself as either: game from the Saxon forests in autumn and winter, Elbe fish when the season allows, asparagus from the Spreewald through May and June. It has held a Michelin distinction for sustained attention to its ingredients.

The dining room is small and the service informed without formality. Saxon cuisine is not a celebrated category, which is exactly what makes the kitchen interesting: serious work with the materials at hand, in a city better known for other things.

Broeding: No Menu, One Room, and an Austrian Wine List Sold by the Case Next Door

A Munich restaurant with no choice on the menu, a new set menu every night, and a wine shop attached. The wine list is built by people whose day job is selling the bottles, which changes what ends up in the glass.

Le Doyenné

Two Australian chefs left the Paris kitchens for the stables of a château thirty-six kilometres out, and cook almost entirely from a market garden that was already there. The garden is the restaurant, not its supplier.
