Michael Geißner

Owner & head chef

Trained in France and Portugal, among other places. Years ago came the first kitchen he shared with Robert – French cooking hasn’t let go of him since.

Portrait of René Lindemann

René Lindemann

Chef

Gets the pans glowing in the early hours – and was already part of Robert’s kitchens back in the day.

Yukihiro Takahashi

Chef

Our man for the cold kitchen, with a perfectionist streak. Before this: almost twenty years in the same house.

On En Parle

Talk of the town.

When it looked like ROBERT. might have to close in late 2025, the support was overwhelming – and it’s now settled: ROBERT. carries on. The city’s restaurant guides keep listing it anyway. Articles in German.

En Ce Moment

Right now at ROBERT.

The menu moves, and so does the day. What Micha is cooking, what has just come in fresh, what’s going on in the house – we post it on Instagram between services.
