Opening

EKD Hall “Delphinium”

Without a doubt, the opening night of eat! berlin is always one of our highlights. For weeks we’ve been racking our brains on how to kick off the festival this year. So let’s start with the venue: the EKD Hall dates from 1982 and is considered a masterpiece of GDR architecture. The basis of the extraordinary design is the illuminated glass floor, the former crystal chandeliers are now accentuated by interior and exterior light staging. A truly impressive room!

The evening’s chefs hold an impressive vita, too: Michelin starred-chef Anton Schmaus runs restaurants Storstad and Sticky Fingers in Regensburg. Since August 2017, he has also been head chef of the German national football team. Schmaus opened the sushi bar Aska at Storstad, which was also awarded one star in 2021.

We also invited Nicolai Wiedmer back to Berlin – he enchanted the audience with his exciting combination of French cuisine and Japanese-inspired lightness in 2018. The third member is Florian Glauert. He has been one of the most important partners of our festival since the very beginning. Today, he is head chef at Hotel Luc at Gendarmenmarkt.

Our go-to winemaker for the opening is Georg Prinz zur Lippe, owner of the VDP.Estate Schloss Proschwitz in Meißen/Saxony. His pinot blancs, gris, and noirs are among our absolute favorite wines.

‘Sup?

The first cabaret you can taste

Tobias Sudhoff is a jack-of-all-trades and a multi-talent. He is a professional musician, entertainer, cabaret artist, product developer, and cook. For many years, he has been teaching at Münster University of Applied Sciences among the ecotrophologists, explaining the scientific connections in cooking, and educating about food additives and the ecological consequences of the production of our food. As a founding member of the food lab muenster, he researches and advises companies and institutions, and as an author, he regularly writes for many magazines and of course his popular political cookbooks.

At the time of our festival, Tobias Sudhoff will be in Berlin and delight us with his cabaret programme ISS WAS. He’ll side-swipe at the food industry mafia, against sourpusses, grumblers and a lack of joie de vivre.

Sudhoff knows how to put his finger in wounds that no one else sees or ever questions. As a cabaret artist, Tobias Sudhoff relentlessly cuts to the heart of things and relishes the flesh of his cabaret fruits right before he friendly embraces his audience with wine-matured texts.

During his stage time, he’ll be cooking stock which will be tasted by the audience afterward. He has also promised to bring along a sample of his great “Happy foie”, an unstuffed organic goose liver that is skilfully enriched with fat so that it tastes like an original foie gras.

Tobias Sudhoff’s guest performances take place in different venues.

A culinary glance at the Czech Republic

For many years, even decades, the culinary world looked only to France, Austria, Italy, Scandinavia and Asia. This year, our gaze is directed towards the East and we are very pleased that we were able to bring the team of chefs from the 2024 Olympics to Berlin in cooperation with Czech Tourism.

Meet the team of Czech chefs bringing their refined classic cuisine to Berlin. Led by Tomáš Popp, the world champion in 2018, they work closely with regional farmers. Joining them are Martin Staněk, a top caterer, Vojtěch Petržela from the Michelin Guide recommended restaurant Výčep Korunní, and Lukáš Čížek, known for his international and artisanal approach.

Catch of the Day

der Weinlobbyist, Weingut Martin Schwarz, Weingut Dr. Crusius, Weingut Von Winning, Schlossgut Diel, Weingut Heitlinger, Weingut Künstler & Weingut Juliusspital

Naturally eat! berlin festival is organized exclusively for the guests and the city it takes place in. However, there is a slightly selfish motive behind it. The festival director, Bernhard Moser, who is also a qualified sommelier, often doesn’t have the time to visit all the winemakers and taste their wines in a relaxed manner during the evenings of the festival. To address this, Bernhard Moser came up with the idea of organizing a series of events called the “Catch of the Day.”

He invites those winemakers who already have evening events to participate in a lunch event. These lunch events take place at the wine bar called “der Weinlobbyist,” where chef Ronny Marx, who received a toque in the Gault&Millau last year, prepares a special lunch menu. The winemakers present their wines during these events, providing an opportunity for tasting and exchanging ideas in a relaxed and peaceful environment.

This series of events is developed in close collaboration with the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates), which is a partner of the festival. Admission to the VDP is considered a prestigious recognition for all winegrowers, further emphasizing the significance of the “Catch of the Day” festival.

  • All dates from Nov. 3.-Nov. 11.

André Macionga & Sebastian Leyer

Chef Sebastian Leyer and luminary of wine-marrying André Macionga are throwing a pub party that’s a riot. Loud music, banging aromas and top-class wines willplay the main roles. Food will be served as flying menu, and Macionga’s wineswill either stay in your memory for a long time or cause a temporary film break. Either way …

Sebastian Leyer is a master of flavours. He was, among other things, sous chef and head chef at Pauly Saal and head chef at Le Faubourg.
André Macionga was the outstanding sommelier of Tim Raue restaurant, is the great creator of cuvées, cuvées, and owner of a wine shop. With his own restaurant he has fulfilled a dream he started dreaming during lockdown.

Travelling with Tim Raue

Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Havana, Tokyo, Vancouver und Singapore

We never imagined us quoting an Magenta TV Original format. The way German television generally treats culinary arts is not as appreciative as we would like it to be. The format “Travelling with Tim Raue – This is how the world tastes” is luckily a great exception. In this series, the wellknown chef travels around the world and encounters other cultures and delicacies with a great deal of respect.

We are over the moon that Tim Raue takes us on an international journey and brings us to Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Havana, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Singapore. Travel companions are Wagyu, Norway lobster, grouper, and other delicacies.
The extraordinary lunch will take place at the restaurant Tim Raue. It is ranked 31 st of the 50 best restaurants in the world, owns two Michelin stars, and has a sensational five out of five toques by Gault&Millau.

Pack your bags, bring your partner, your friends, your lawyer, or your tax advisor, and join us for this wonderful lunch. Tim Raue will be hosting and guiding us through. But don’t be surprised if he is not holding an umbrella in the air, but an exquisite bottle of wine. Enjoy!

Makoli Tasting mit Yeojin Yoon im Kochu Karu Deli

Makoli … what? The naturally cloudy drink is considered the oldest type of alcohol in Korea. Traditionally, it is brewed from water, rice and Nuruk, a Korean yeast culture, and is thus closer to beer than to rice wine. For decades, makoli fell out of fashion and eked out a sad existence as “peasant alcohol”.

It has been rediscovered by the younger generation and now makoli bars line up in Korea. The drink has about 6–7 percent alcohol by volume, a range of flavours from fruity-sweet to tingly-tart, and a milky texture. It has what it takes to become the Korean counterpart to Western craft beer.

Kochu Karu Deli now introduces you to this trendy drink in a two-hour excursion to Korea. For this, the owners Bini Lee and José Miranda Morillo, have invited a true master: Yeojin Yoon from Maison de Makoli Paris. He brings a few selected bottles of his rarity for tasting – quite exclusively, for only ten guests. The team of Kochu Karu Restaurant will serve matching culinary delicacies. Make sure to join this unique opportunity to get to know a traditional and highly popular drink.

Travelling with Tim Raue – from Paris to Tokyo

Dominik Obermeier and Tim Raue

Tim Raue & Dominik Obermeier serve three courses each

As an attentive reader of this magazine, you might have seen that Tim Raue has already traveled around the world once (see yesterday’s program). Today his route brings him “only” from Paris to Tokyo. His cuisine and his handling of acidity, sweetness, and spiciness directly affect the soul of the eater. It is not for nothing that Raue is by far the most internationally famous chef in Germany; in the list of “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants” he ranks 31st with Restaurant Tim Raue.

Travelling at Tim’s side tonight is Dominik Obermeier, kitchen director of Brasserie Colette Tim Raue and the residents’ restaurants of the Tertianum Premium Residences in Berlin, Munich, and Constance.

Each of them will contribute three courses, but you’ll have to find out yourself who will be preparing beef fillet Wellington with shitake and umeboshi jus, sagohachi pike-perch with einkorn soy sauce or tamari egg yolk with foie gras and truffle. Definitely not a secret: who serves the “wasabi prawn”?
The wines will be chosen from the team of the wonderful Brasserie Colette Tim Raue.

Time for a confession: The CARL & SOPHIE Spree Restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants when stressed and in need of a deep breath. It is beautifully located on the Spree, with breathtaking views, and the wine list leaves us breathless. CARL & SOPHIE is both the right and the wrong place to take a breath. Schrödinger’s tavern.

This evening is all about him – HE is Anthony Sarpong from Michelin-starred restaurant Anthony’s Kitchen in Meerbusch. Anthony was born in Ghana, he trained among others at Fischer’s Fritz in Berlin and has worked as a private chef in France, Spain, Kasachstan, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates.

The AIRstream is his beautiful, futuristic-looking food trailer with all the possibilities to conjure up anything from a classic star menu to elaborate street food. Anthony sends three gourmet courses from this mobile kitchen aka cult caravan. Three more courses will come from Martin Höse, chef de cuisine at CARL & SOPHIE. Claus Burmeister, winemaker at the award-winning VDP.Estate Heitlinger will provide you with the adequate wines. Take a deep breath – and a long sip.

An evening on science-fiction

If we could get into a time machine today and fly into the future: What would we eat? Where would our food be grown, how would it be harvested? There is hardly a topic that moves people as much as the topic of “food of the future”.
We explore the topics of taste, sustainability, and resource consumption in the Futurium, with great chefs and winemakers.

Daniel Finger presents our sensory examination. Prof. Dr. Guido Ritter and Tobias Sudhoff discuss “The Future of Food” and introduce “Happy foie,” a cruelty-free alternative. Heiko Antoniewicz provides a comprehensive outlook on future eating, while Micha Schäfer, Billy Wagner and Arne Anker surprise us with their innovative dishes. The Genusskombinat treats us to a culinary course, and VDP.Weingut Brüder Dr. Becker shares insights on PiWi and biodynamic viticulture.

Do you remember what you did in 1993? Czechoslovakia became the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Bill Clinton was inaugurated as President, and the new five-digit postcodes were introduced in Germany… If you remember all this, then this is not the right evening for you.

We are very pleased that Herbert Beltle said yes once again to host everyone under 30 for just 30 Euros. If you were born IN or AFTER 1993, i. e. 1993, 1994, 1995, and so on, then you can buy a ticket. If you want to give the ticket as a present, then please ONLY to people who were born IN or AFTER 1993. We’ll check ID cards at the entrance and turn away people older than that without any ifs or buts. “Age discrimination!” shouts someone back there? Exactly!

Oh yes, there is one big exception: Herbert Beltle himself. He is already in his mid-30s or so but is allowed to stay all night – provided that he is cooperating. We would like to thank him for the offer because, in times of an energy crisis, inflation, and a survived Corona pandemic, it is not a matter of course that a gastronome can make such an event happen.

You can almost always eat well at good winemakers. And almost all top chefs are wine-loving, one cannot exist without the other.
However, no other chef in Germany takes it to the extreme like Christian Stahl. As far as we know, he is the only person to have been awarded both for his wines and as a chef by Gault&Millau.

His Müller-Thurgau “Hasennest” is one of our favourite wines of this grape variety. As a chef, Christian has also been accepted into the elite community of Jeunes Restaurateurs, which is a masterly achievement as a self-taught chef

Bonvivant – the sweet life, la joie de vivre. Head chef Nikodemus Berger created a gastronomical phenomenon and it is kind of surprising that an Austrian, of all people, runs the second star-restaurant with a vegetarian concept in Berlin.

Arne Anker formerly worked at Pauly Saal where his fine cuisine earned him a Michelin star. He is one of two chefs in Gault&Millau history to be awarded 20 out of 20 points. In November 2020, Arne fulfilled the dream of his restaurant BRIKZ and has been cooking his way into the hearts of the guests ever since.

We have already sung such praises about Massimo Ferradino that we can hardly find any more words. Whenever there are truffles involved, he is our man.
The first Rooted, Anchored, and Truffled journey on 8.11. starts at Restaurant Bonvivant. There we enjoy a vegetarian menu, with two courses from Nikodemus Berger and Arne Anker each. The next day we turn tables and Nikodemus serves as guest chef at BRIKZ. This time there may also be fish and meat. Your choice!

Originally, “The First Avenger” fought against Nazi Germany as Captain America. But of course, that has nothing to do with this evening, even though Björn Swanson, owner of Restaurant Faelt, is half-American. In Berlin, he fights exclusively against the appetite and hunger of his guests.

“The first Avenger” in this case would be Max Kockot. He was Daniel Schmidthaler’s very first apprentice at the Michelin-starred restaurant Alte Schule. Today, Max is the head chef at Faelt, which has also been awarded a star. Kockot and Schmidthaler will join forces again in the kitchen, and Swanson will support the kitchen team with his tasteful expertise.

We are very happy to have one of the founding members of our favorite association VDP with us: the VDP.Estate Georg Müller Stiftung.

“No limits, no boundaries”: theNOname stands for exciting variety and freedom in every aspect. Arie Oshri will be performing that evening. She is a wonderful drag performer, singer – simply a nightclub diva. Oshri is also a trained chef and worked at the Israeli Embassy from 2019 to 2022.

Tim Tanneberger will be cooking a wonderful menu. It was already a sensation when Janina Atmadi, the managing director,was able to announce the transition from eins44 to theNOname. This also caught the attention of the Michelin Guide, which awarded the restaurant one star.

As always in the restaurant, sommelière Sarah Buchbinder and restaurant manager Mathias Raue provide a corresponding beverage accompaniment and great service.

Turkish cuisine is one of the most exciting, vibrant food cultures. And while a cheeky köfte at Köftecisi is nothing to be frowned upon, we are nonetheless quite adamant that your appreciation of Turkish food shouldn’t end at Kotti.

So it is just as well that we were able to invite one of the protagonists of Turkey’s food scene for a very special evening – one that has been years in the making! Joining us will be none other than Mehmet Gürs, who is the mastermind and chef behind restaurants such as the incredible Restaurant Mikla and Mürver, an open fire place restaurant. As pioneer of a culinary movement that has rapidly spread through the region, Mehmet’s unique creative process unites traditional and modern techniques and products.

For his night at Nobelhart, Mehmet has promised us a wide-ranging feast of Anatolian cuisine, for which he will be bringing some local Turkish ingredients. Mehmet holds the reins on this occasion and the Nobelharts will contribute where needed. Alexander Seiser will be making sure you won’t go home thirsty, Juliane Winkler an her team will take care of you during the evening.

Lorenz for President

The reason for this evening is quiet obvious: Clinton’s Restaurant in Hoppegarten sounds like one of the favorite American presidents. Head chef there is Stefan Lorenz, and we are always very impressed about the high level he cooks, a real enrichment for the outskirts of Berlin. He was born in Dresden 33 years ago and has cooked there at bean&beluga with Stefan Herrmann, with Benjamin Biedlingmaier at Carousel, in Berlin with Marco Müller at Rutz, and with Sonja Frühsammer at Frühsammers.

He will dedicate different plates of the menu to the following presidents: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln.
Gunter Keßler from VDP.Estate Münzberg (Pfalz) will to come to Berlin and select the wines for this very presidential evening.

Brothers in Spirit

Lode van Zuylen, Stijn Remi & Lukas Hesko

In April 2016, a restaurant opened in Kreuzberg that many Berlin gourmets and food journalists hadn’t properly noticed for far too long. To be honest, we discovered the restaurant with its friendly owners Lode van Zuylen and Stijn Remi much to late, too. But, as Schiller said, “Good things come to those who wait”.

Speaking of good. We like the fact that Lode & Stijn specializes in seasonal and regional produce from small-scale farmers – a fact that they have in com mon with Lukas Hesko from Bratislava. Lukas has been running Restaurácia Adademia in the centre of Trnava since 2018. He struck a nerve with the concept of combining craft beer with outstanding food.

Really good food can only be accompanied by really good wine. One of the great pioneers of German winemaking, Clemens Busch, will join us that evening. He converted his VDP.Estate Clemens Busch to organic biological in 1984, and since 2015 it has been certified as biodynamic as well.

Creating menus to the year’s cycle, to what soil and nature, offer us, make these four main actors of this special evening “brothers in spirit”.

Rooted, anchored, and truffled

Nikodemus Berger & Arne Anker

Bonvivant – the sweet life, la joie de vivre. Head chef Nikodemus Berger created a gastronomical phenomenon and it is kind of surprising that an Austrian, of all people, runs the second star-restaurant with a vegetarian concept in Berlin.

Arne Anker formerly worked at Pauly Saal where his fine cuisine earned him a Michelin star. He is one of two chefs in Gault&Millau history to be awarded 20 out of 20 points. In November 2020, Arne fulfilled the dream of his restaurant BRIKZ and has been cooking his way into the hearts of the guests ever since.

We have already sung such praises about Massimo Ferradino that we can hardly find any more words. Whenever there are truffles involved, he is our man.
The first Rooted, Anchored, and Truffled journey on 8.11. starts at Restaurant Bonvivant. There we enjoy a vegetarian menu, with two courses from Nikodemus Berger and Arne Anker each. The next day we turn tables and Nikodemus serves as guest chef at BRIKZ. This time there may also be fish and meat. Your choice! Massino Ferradino is the host on both evenings telling us a lot about truffles. Matthias Hey from VDP.Estate Hey in Saale-Unstrut is also joining us.

  • Thu. 9.11.
  • 4-course-menu plus amuse and bread as a course with accompanying wines

Battle for the sash of the Berlin Wine Queen

“The queen is dead – long live the queen!”. Well, in England it was “long live the king”, but we’re talking about the fact that all the “Berlin wine queens” we’ve ever crowned are in the best of health. Our first ever crowned queen in 2022 was Rachel Intervention – now it’s time to appoint the second.

Sheila Wolf, founder and producer of Vaudeville Burlesque Revue, will be again hosting the election of the Berlin Wine Queen. With her, there are as many glittering moments guaranteed as last year. Guests agreed that there had never been anything comparable that combined fine dining and an impressive queer stage show until now.

The spectacular event will take place at restaurant Frederick’s in the former Kaisersaal. With expansive murals, crystal chandeliers, and huge vintage mirrors the restaurant is a reminiscence of the golden 1920ies in Berlin.

As guest chef, we welcome the wonderful Kerth Gumps from London. After graduating from the famous Parisian cooking school “Le Cordon Bleu”, he worked at several top places around Europe and earned his first Michelin star at Ormer Mayfair in London.

The wines will come from the traditional VDP.Estate Juliusspital from Würzburg. Tanja Strätz will show us how the Juliusspital Foundation has reinvented itself again and again since its foundation in 1576 and nowadays delivers fresh and innovative wines.

Following the election of the Berlin Wine Queen 2023, the eat! berlin team invites you to the after-show party happening at the bar Frederick’s. Other talents and guest chefs from our events will us be joining here – you can expect the bar to be definitely the place to be that night.

Marco Müller and the Torres Brothers

Axis Berlin – Barcelona

At this point, a big thank you to Marco Müller. On his recent visit to Barcelona, our curator and festival director wasn’t able to get a table at the two-star restaurant Cocina Hermanos Torres. He was upset by that. However, in the spirit of friendship, Marco Müller is bringing the brothers to Berlin as part of our festival, which is borderline inappropriate.

But what do the brothers Sergio and Javier Torres have in common with Marco Müller? On the one hand, it’s the ease with which the three succeed in creating absolute top cuisine. Every portion, every culinary idea is newly conceived, newly interpreted and absolutely uncompromisingly innovative. However, all of this is done within the context of a product management that is deeply rooted in the local community. According to the brothers and Guide Michelin, Marco’s products are almost always produced locally (source Guide Michelin): “We have our own small farm estate in Extremadura, and each of our animals has a first and last name. To promote fair trade, we are committed to the circular economy, the digital world and buying directly from producers, rather than doing so through third parties.”

Michelin writes the following about Marco Müller: “Marco Müller places importance on carefully selected ingredients, places a high value on sustainability and origin, and works closely with farmers to produce some of these ingredients exclusively for the restaurant. Even supposedly simple products are transformed into incredibly intricate, thoughtful, and extremely creative recipes with a lot of detail.”

This couldn’t be a better match!

The wine accompaniment is provided by the great Nancy Großmann, the Gault&Millau “Sommelière of the Year 2020”.

The Grand Opening

7 Stars und 3 Chefs and Winemakers

The theme of “excellence” runs through the history of the Meistersaal at Potsdamer Platz like probably no other place in Berlin: Iggy Pop, U2, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Jon Bon Jovi, Max Raabe, die Toten Hosen, Herbert Grönemeyer and many other masters met here and filled the hall with music. In 2019 and 2020, we then opened eat! berlin there and our masterful top chefs flooded the room with the flavors of star cuisine.

Sascha Stemberg *, Alexander Koppe *, Philipp Liebisch *, Boris Rommel **, Sebastian Frank **, Pâtissière Karina Appeldorn and favorite caterer Sven Reschke let it rip in the two years, as we casually say. “How are they going to top that?” the guests at the two events must have asked themselves. The answer? Not at all… but least we can definitely maintain the level.

Now buckle up:

Thomas Bühner, who cooked at the restaurant La Vie in Osnabrück ***
Reto Lampart, who cooked at the restaurant Lampart’s Art of Dining in Hägendorf/Switzerland **
Hendrik Otto, who cooked at the restaurant Lorenz Adlon in Berlin **

The wines will be provided by the VDP estate.

In addition to the extravagant menu with exceptional wine accompaniment, you can expect a wonderful award ceremony: The “Förder:in der Genusskultur” will be awarded and we will award the GASAG Prize for innovative and sustainable gastronomy concepts endowed with 5,000 EUR. 

This year’s moderator is the wonderful Marie Kaiser. Throughout the evening, she will lead conversations with the chefs, the winemakers, and the award winners.
