Who's Cooking?
Chef Bogdan Alexandrescu, also known as Dexter, has over 12 years of experience in gastronomy and has revolutionized the local and international scene, promoting respect for nature and local and sustainable culinary traditions.
He is part of L'Équipage des Cuisiniers de la mer Ethic Ocean, was Executive Chef at Relais & Châteaux and graduated from the exclusive Advanced Studies in Gastronomy and taste program organized by the University of Reims-Champagne-Ardenne & Le Cordon Bleu Paris. In 2023, he was named Romania's Best Hotel Chef.
Recognized in top Parisian gastronomy and lifestyle magazines such as Vogue, Le Figaro, Le Fooding, he has received rave reviews from prestigious culinary critics such as David Lebovitz and Alexander Lobrano.
“(…) telling you the meal I had the other night was one of the best I’ve had all year doesn’t deliver adequate praise for the excellent “neo-nostalgic” Romanian cooking of chef Bogdan Alexandrescu a.k.a. Dexter chef. So instead I’ll only say that this dinner was not only the best non-French meal I’ve had in Paris during the last twelve months, but one of the best ones full stop.” 2019, Alexander Lobrano
Through his contributions to gastronomy, both locally and internationally, Dexter has established himself as one of the most appreciated young Romanian Chefs of the moment."
Who's pouring wine?
Ramona Enache-Lorenz founded Pointer in 2014. Her love for wine started in the vineyard of her grandfather. She learned from him how to care for the vines and how to make wine. Spending so much time amongst the wine barrels, Ramona further developed her taste and preferences during her travels and became a WSET Level 3 certified sommelier in 2023.
In Ramona's opinion, Romanian wine has great unlocked potential and deserves to be better known around the world. Romanian food is a topic that has been coming up at almost every meal with international friends for the past 10 years and it is finally time to bring that to Berlin.
What kind of magic table set-up is this?
We will be using Romanian hand-made ceramic objects, designed and produced by Atelier Lutfain, a ceramic studio based in Bucharest and run by designer and fellow architect Andreea Chiser. Candle holders belong to Radu Abraham, a Romanian designer based in Cluj, Romania, whose work we have been admiring for years. Last but not least, wood planks are signed by Atelier Vast, a woodcraft studio run by one of our oldest friends and fellow architect, Stefan Nechita. We are so happy to have them all on our pop-up dining table!

Menu
Menu
We are trying to eat with awareness and reduce our meat and fish consumption to the minimum. Romanian cuisine uses a lot of that, however there are plenty ways to navigate it and we are happy to offer Vegetarian, Pescatarian and Meat menus without compromising the recipes, but rather giving them the right twist.
Food Waste
Food Waste
In the process of creating the menu and planning the events, we highly value all the ingredients and make sure we use as much as we can from every vegetable or fruit. We are big fans of fixed menus and limited seating because this helps the staff plan the quantities accurately and avoid waste. Whatever is left after the event will be either donated or eaten by us, so stick around in case you haven’t had enough.
