The story
Die Drogerie in Senftenberg anchors a distinct approach to regional cuisine within a protected building that once housed a twentieth century chemist shop. Careful restoration work finished in October 2016 revealed three connected levels where original architectural bones meet contemporary furniture. The Schlemmer Atlas noted this thoughtful transformation when granting the kitchen two spoons for 2026, praising the balance of refined dishes and relaxed surroundings. Patrons move freely between a ground floor dining room, a paved summer terrace, and a brick wine cellar below.
Chef Buri directs a compact brigade that treats honest preparation and seasonal sourcing as daily priorities. The kitchen treats regional cooking as a practical framework, starting with skin fried zander accompanied by horseradish foam, braised cucumber, and nut butter potatoes. Cook Axel contributes a slow braised boeuf bourguignon loaded with pearl onions and glazed carrots, while hand cut beef tartare arrives alongside house mustard and fried capers. Seasonal shifts bring plant focused mains like an African peanut stew alongside dry aged entrecôte and fresh river trout.
Drink selections pull heavily from Brandenburg producers who share the restaurants dedication to craftsmanship. Espresso comes freshly roasted at Markt 15 in Senftenberg, while the wine list highlights Solaris whites and oak matured Pinotin reds from the Großräschener vineyard. Stork Club rye whiskey and raspberry aperitifs complete the glassware collection. Framed canvases by local artist Chris Hinze hang throughout the corridors, framing an environment designed for steady conversation rather than rushed service.
