Fantastic Greek chef on Sundays. But everyday the chef changes. They have a menu fix, prepared by a different artist each night. Quite fun and always a surprise.

I don't know the curator, but he/she must be quite a person as there are really good art shows put on here. The building next door, the Liebeskind building, is a must-see. The architecture is quite breath-taking and can make you feel manic, and i guess that's pretty much the architect's point!
