Overview
- Die Spelunke’s two‑person portion features Wagyu, 23‑karat leaf gold, 125 grams of Royal Caviar Imperial Auslese and an in‑house lemon parfum.
- Chef Alexander Knelle says the goal was an exceptionally good reinterpretation that preserves the dish’s identity rather than a price stunt.
- PR representatives say the item is intended to attract affluent international visitors, especially from the Emirates, and claim no pricier Wiener‑style schnitzel exists worldwide.
- Reactions on Instagram and in coverage range from curiosity and praise to criticism of decadence and doubts about the flavor pairing.
- BILD reports two preorders for the weekend, and the restaurant continues to offer a conventional schnitzel at about €29.
