Guest Chef December 2023: Kevin Fehling
Located in Hamburg’s vibrant HafenCity district, The Table promises a great experience for food lovers from all over the world. One highlight follows the next, whether in terms of cuisine or architecture. In creative menus, three-star chef Kevin Fehling builds an arc of suspense course by course, reinterpreting familiar dishes and adding surprising twists to the narrative – from the opening scene to the sweet happy ending.
The eponymous table is the conceptual centrepiece of the restaurant: up to 22 guests dine at a single, serpentine, dark cherry wood counter overlooking the open kitchen, right in the middle of the action.
With The Table, we wanted to set new standards, inspire our guests and offer them an alternative to traditional fine dining with our cosmopolitan, creative cuisine and easy-going style.
He trained as a chef at the Hotel Thomsen in his hometown of Delmenhorst and then went through the school of chef legend Harald Wohlfahrt, among others. Soon the enthusiastic young chef was unstoppable and just three years after completing his training he was head chef at the Venezia restaurant on the MS Europa. From 2005, his professional home was the Baltic Sea, where he created a culinary sensation in the spa town of Travemünde. La Belle Epoque quickly became a mecca for gourmets from all over the world, and the Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant its first star in 2008. Two more followed by 2013, making Kevin Fehling the youngest three-star chef in Germany. In 2015, he realised his dream of opening his own restaurant with The Table in Hamburg, achieving a sensational three Michelin stars in the very first year. This puts the creative culinary virtuoso in the select circle of only ten restaurants in Germany currently holding this top rating.
Hamburg has always been known as the gateway to the world, and the international flair of the port city is reflected in The Table’s menu. Kevin Fehling’s recipes and creations showcase his extraordinary talent and groundbreaking ingenuity. The celebrated chef nuances classic dishes with global influences, superior product quality and perfect craftsmanship.
