bianc Hamburg: Michelin 2-Star Mediterranean Cuisine by Matteo Ferrantino

A Philosophy of Open-Eyed Dreaming

“Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming but always with open eyes.” This is the motto that drives chef Matteo Ferrantino at bianc, his Hamburg restaurant. His cooking is built on refined creativity, high-quality ingredients, and clear aromas—a foundation that has earned bianc two Michelin stars. Ferrantino’s kitchen operates like a silent orchestra, where every component matters in composing a memorable meal.

Setting the Stage

The restaurant’s name, bianc, speaks of purity, sensitivity, and harmony. These qualities are reflected in the space designed by Julia Erdmann, which evokes a Mediterranean piazza. Located among the office buildings of Hamburg’s HafenCity district, the warm, elegant interior draws inspiration from Ferrantino’s hometown, blending colors and textures into a single, floristic stage. The choreography of service adds to the evening’s emotion.
