Christian Rach

[1] He left university shortly before graduating without a degree, because at the time he had wanted to take the opportunity to work in a French restaurant.

So from 1983 he worked first with Philippe Boissou in Grenoble and then in 1984 as a sous' chef at Korso in Vienna, where he gained insights into creative, classical cuisine.

The Tafelhaus in an old cemetery house in the Hamburg district of Ottensen has received a Michelin star and other awards every year since 1991.

[2] Rach also ran the Engel restaurant in Hamburg with the Luzifer snack bar from 1997 to November 2007, bringing both to their current prominence.

In 2009, he and a partner took over the gourmet restaurant Das kleine Rote in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, changing the concept to a "luxury steakhouse" called Rach & Ritchy,[3] which closed in 2019.
