aerde restaurant in Berlin

A very special spot for dinner. The vibes were intimate and food spectacular. I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit here.

Delicious food to share. Friendly, unobtrusive service. A bit cramped.

For me this is currently the best gastronomic experience in Berlin. Outstandingly good.

The food was great! Surprising, unusual, creative. All from the region and presented with impeccable craftsmanship. Yes, the portions are small, this is explicitly pointed out by the (not perfect German-speaking) service - also with a "quantity recommendation" so that you can easily estimate in advance that the evening will not be cheap. I don't agree with other reviewers that it's too expensive. I thought the €100 we spent per stomach was reasonable for a dinner of this level - although not a bargain. I would assume that ambitious fine dining in such a location at lower prices would simply not be feasible. The service was professional, warm and friendly, but not every guest spoke English - even though both ladies tried very hard to communicate their German to the guest. About the ambience: definitely a cool location, my age group might also call it “charming”, but perhaps not suitable for every guest target group. We found it to be very loud - both the music and the usual noises in a restaurant, which were not mitigated by the (interior) architecture. We were happy that we got a table for two and didn't have to sit at the large table with other guests. Maybe we're being too conservative... I don't remember whether there was a choice of tables when I made the reservation, but if not, I would definitely like that. We were only in Berlin for the weekend. Given the large selection in Berlin, I can't promise whether we'll come back next time, but I definitely wouldn't rule it out!

This restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the first bite to the last sip, everything was spot on. The venison tartare was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, the oysters were incredibly fresh, and both the pike-perch and braised ox cheeks were simply top-notch—rich, tender, and full of depth. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, making you feel at home right away. The crew is both highly professional and genuinely friendly, creating a relaxed yet refined dining experience. What truly sets this place apart is its unique interior. From the carefully chosen furniture to the calm, muted color palette, every detail feels intentional. Even the tableware tells a story—broken ceramics have been lovingly restored with Kintsugi, turning imperfections into beauty. A true culinary highlight in Berlin. Don’t hesitate—go!

We had an extremely lovely evening at Aerde: every plate was a delight, both visually and tastefully. A very memorable and sophisticated signature from the cooking team. Super nice team who explain the dishes and wines and spread a creative, powerful atmosphere. Great. Absolutely recommended.

The staff really know their stuff here. Exceptionally knowledgeable and witty sommelière. The kitchen handles the flavor palette of the seasonal and local dishes between subtle, simple, savory and surprising. It‘s one of the places successfully oscillating between keeping the atmosphere invitingly low key and offering a high end dining experience.

Since we like to try out new restaurants, we decided to pay aerde a visit based on the very good reviews. We were looking forward to a nice evening, but unfortunately we would be disappointed. The individual dishes were mostly creatively implemented and tasty. But we expected more for the price. The menu is rather small, all dishes are intended to be shared, but the portions are more suitable for one person. After 7 courses (which was almost the entire menu) and about 1.5 hours, we went home half hungry. The menu sequence also went quite quickly, which is a positive thing if you don't want to linger for long (unlike us). In addition to the portions, the temperature is another point of criticism. Despite sharing, warm food came at the same time, so it cooled down quickly. The service was attentive, a bit chummy in parts, but that's certainly a matter of taste. The dishes were well explained and the water bottles were filled quickly. Unfortunately, the ambience left the most to be desired. We sat at the bar on hard, backless wooden stools. Looks good, but unfortunately it's rather uncomfortable. The question whether another seat would be possible was answered in the negative, although some tables remained empty almost until the end of our stay. We would have liked more hospitality here. Even the constantly open window when the outside temperature was 0° did not create any comfort. For us, the question also arises as to which clientele should be addressed. In our opinion, the ambience is not right for fine dining, the prices are too high for a restaurant and the portions are too small for sharing. We can agree with the assessment: good food at star-level prices. The concept of sharing would need more choice. It's a shame, we would have liked to come back. But wish the team much success.

Erde is a beautiful restaurant hidden in a cobblestone driveway in Schöneberg. Its south-facing orientation makes it an absolute must to return in the summer to enjoy the stunning view of the sunset. The experience continues just as wonderfully inside. The small, beautifully designed restaurant impresses with seasonal and regional products, which are served to guests with great craftsmanship. The whole experience is accompanied by an excellent selection of wines, as well as non-alcoholic drinks like homemade kombucha. The team is not only highly skilled but also exceptionally friendly, making you feel as if you’re at home eating with friends. A visit is highly recommended!

Delicious, delicious, everything is great!

We had one of our best fine dining experiences here, if not the best! Fantastic food, extremely friendly service and a quiet and beautiful atmosphere! Particularly recommended - the Brussels sprouts! We'll be back :)

Ambience was nice. The food was fantastic and very tasty. You never had to wait long and the service was very friendly!

100% recommendation! Great food (also for vegetarians), best service and beautiful decor. A truly special place worth every penny.

We literally felt in love with this place: the location and the food are absolutely the best but what makes the difference here is the service and the people, they go the extra mile to make you feeling at home. Thank you to each one working here, we will keep great memories of our last night at Aerde (by the "two Italians sitting the French way" 😀).

Fantastic restaurant with the best team ever! We found the restaurant by chance and it has been one of the best experience ever! The design is super cool, the food is masterfully prepared by the chef using only local poducts. The organic wines are a perfect match with the food. What made the experience a memorable one was the amazing service of Hanna and her colleague! What a fantastic night!!! We will be back soon! Thank you from the Italian guys!!!

Good food with star-level prices. Small portions to share, ordering the entire daily selection will only fill you up. The dishes lack that certain something to surprise. Unfortunately, the service is not suitable, different wines for the individual courses are offered in the same glass. The ambience remains as beautiful as in Lok6. Rather cold in winter, as the window is open all evening to ventilate the open kitchen.

This place is just 10/10 Magnificent experience! The food was amazing and the service was friendly and professional. The atmosphere is unbelievably good, like another dimension. Highly recommended

We really had a great time at aerde. High-quality, creative and exceptional cuisine with exclusively regional references. Exciting and very tasty wines accompany it. A very attentive, great service rounds everything off - a place to feel good in an exclusive but relaxed atmosphere. Considering the quality and service, the prices are definitely fair.

A wonderful neighborhood restaurant with a very inviting atmosphere for multiple visits a week. I really ate really well and even found my favorite dish of 2024. Neither in Las Vegas nor Paris nor Berlin have I had a better dish cooked than this one this year. I will definitely plan another visit and maybe even add another great culinary treasure to my already well-stocked food habitus. Great thing. Thank you for the wonderful food and the exemplary hospitality. Because for me Both fit together perfectly and made the restaurant authentic and accessible with a feel-good atmosphere. Best regards! ·⟩ /·\ \/ ⟨·

Very nice atmosphere, individual service and food that stays in your memory. Highly recommended!

I found it hard to fault this restaurant even when the bill came up. At first you think its pricy for small plates but as you go along and try all the dishes on the menu, you realise why. The work that has gone into creating each one is clear to see, and I have come away with incredible memories. From the fermented potatoe waffle to the cauliflower... yep cauliflower but not just any old cauliflour. I couldn't begin to tell you how they made it taste so good! The service was perfect as was the atmosphere and surroundings. We paid just over 100 euros per person which included 2 bottles of wine and it was worth every cent. I have been lucky enough to have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world and this one would not look out of place in that list.

We would like to thank you for the excellent service as well as the creative and varied dishes with regional ingredients. The time with you really had a special experience. A restaurant with a mission. Thank you!

really sweet staff and perfect service. Beautifully plated food, relaxed vibe, the whole experience felt really complete, loved the music, my new favourite spot 🌹

I was absolutely blown away by the experience at Aerde. The food, service, and wine were all impeccable. The plating style was refreshingly simple yet perfectly executed, keeping the focus where it belongs—on the taste, which was easily a 10 out of 10. The venison tartare was hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and I’m saying that as someone who orders tartare almost every chance I get. The kitchen here has a unique creative intelligence; each dish was crafted with an exceptional level of harmony. Surprising ingredients made appearances in ways I never would have expected, but they worked perfectly with every bite. I couldn’t decide what to order because everything on the menu sounded amazing, so I asked the server to surprise me with dishes and wine pairings. Every dish was introduced with detailed explanations, and the stories behind each wine were fascinating, making the pairings feel incredibly thoughtful and compatible. In short, this was an unforgettable culinary experience with outstanding service. The staff here have a passion for their craft that comes across in every aspect of the meal. Aerde is truly a gem. Thank you for this unique experience!

What a gem! Really interesting menu, cozy stylish atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Thank you ! Go people !

We were warmly welcomed. We were well advised about the food and wine. Unfortunately everything is in English, so one or two "descriptions" were not understood correctly, even though we both work with English-speaking customers. The exact components of the meal were told to us in German by the boss (cook?) after the service. We would have wished it was the other way around. In our opinion, the “wow” feeling is not true, but the price-performance ratio is not correct. But as we all know, tastes are different. The wine recommendations were awesome. Not exactly cheap but as I said... awesome! The location could be a little brighter because we like to see what's on the plate. Furthermore, there was a very bad indoor climate after the restaurant was fully occupied. I would also be interested in which clientele should be addressed. Fine dining? Or just a la carte? All in all a “good”. Good luck.

We are experienced in fine dining and were disappointed. The portions are very small, even for fine dining, and we found the service to be arrogant and self-absorbed. When we arrived at the restaurant we were noticed, but only after a while were we shown to our table when we asked. We found the obvious approach and explanation in English to be inappropriate when accompanied by visibly older people. Upon request, an explanation was given in German that the whole group could understand. No consideration was given to any allergies we had registered in advance, so one person could only eat two courses. Overall, in our opinion, the price is not justified.

I give Aerde highest praise. I think this is the first time I award 5 stars all throughout— The team around Justus does everything right: - Creative, aspirational cuisine, locally scouted & sourced ingredients. 60-70% vegetarian. International, yet local. Special. - Design driven interior, cozy & small—a gem. - Great (natural) wines from small winemakers & an attentive & knowledgeable sommelier. Thanks, Hanna! - Relaxed. - Super music selection. - Overall, a fun & inspiring & unique (!) dining experience. Aerde, bitte so unbedingt weitermachen. Ihr rockt!

Our visit to the aerde restaurant was definitely something special. The stylishly minimalist restaurant at the locomotive depot impressed with its ambience. The service impressed with personality and great attention. The food was exciting, especially with the emphasis on fermented ingredients. However, some dishes were missing that certain something or a surprising highlight. We were less enthusiastic about our placement: we had the choice between bar stools or a large 8-seater table around the corner. At first the corner seat seemed fine, but when a group of six joined us we felt uncomfortable. It was just uncomfortable to suddenly be sitting at a table with a group of strangers, disrupting the intimacy we wanted on our anniversary. Even though we hadn't explicitly requested a table for two beforehand, we found it inappropriate to combine such different reservations. In addition, the strong smell of food, which persistently lingered in our clothes and was still noticeable even after two days, was very annoying. We expect better ventilation from a restaurant in this price range. Overall it was still a positive experience, even if there were a few points that marred the experience.

Excellent food and friendly service. Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere

The Aerde team would like a review. I thought for a long time whether I should comply with the request, as my review will certainly turn out differently than I hoped. But since the request also includes the desire for constructive criticism, here are my impressions. Aerde was recommended to me and since I regularly try out new restaurants in Berlin, it was high on my list - even for a special occasion. To be fair: the food was good and the taste was quite surprising! However, that's what I expect from a restaurant of this level. The service was friendly as long as we were willing to play the “small portions for a lot of money - wow - how extraordinary!” game. The team celebrates itself and its supposed exclusivity, but real guest loyalty does not come from repeatedly asking whether everything is okay and you are doing well - that requires a little more than fake friendliness. When it comes to the price-performance ratio, Aerde goes far beyond the mark. This starts with the drinks – €8 for a bottle of water, €14 for a 0.1 glass of wine – and continues through the dishes. A slice of bread with butter for €6 and the high-priced mini portions are more reminiscent of appetizers than full meals. I'm an avid restaurant-goer, including Michelin-starred restaurants, but rarely have I felt like I got so little value for my money as I did here. When it became clear to the service that we would not be ordering dessert or additional drinks, we were subtly given the feeling that our stay was no longer desired. The table was cleared quickly, even the cutlery shelves disappeared. Overall, the lightness that makes a successful restaurant experience was missing. In which service, ambience and food form a harmonious unit. Where it's fun to linger, you feel welcome - regardless of whether you order up and down the menu or not and you can spend an unforgettable evening. The evening at Aerde will be unforgettable, but not in a good way.

Unusual combinations of flavors. Absolutely amazing food. Portions to share. We tried everything except the dessert.

Very hard review to write. On one hand I got served one of the most stunning dishes I’ve ever seen, on the other hand I feel the experience overall was a bit inconsistent. Food-wise, there are some high highs and average dishes (chicken dish and desserts). The interior design is probably one of the best I’ve seen in the city! I have feedback on the seating. Our party of five, with a reservation, was seated at a small table, with one person uncomfortably placed near the restroom. Although staff tried to help, this should’ve been planned better. The sharing menu also felt imbalanced for five people, making it hard to share with the table setup. Perhaps limiting reservations to 2 or 4 people could improve this. That said, I’m still curious to return, maybe during a different season, as the staff suggested.

A cool place in Kreuzberg, but on the paving stones you would like larger tables outside and more comfortable chairs, inside alternatively small, but very cozy. The staff is very nice, but for us old "West Berliners" they couldn't speak English but German, especially since they are very Good dishes need to be explained due to various fermentations. A successful evening if there was an espresso at the end...

Top-notch service and great food! You can tell they love what they do.

Although expectations were high, our visit to Aerde exceeded them. The atmosphere, service and drinks were already of a very high standard, but the food surpassed the other aspects. Both the quality of the ingredients used and the composition of the individual dishes were completely convincing. The highlight of my accompaniment was the earthy taste of the venison tartare with fermented trout. I was particularly impressed by the variety of flavors of the salmon trout with apricot and chili. Of course there is a strong focus on working with fermented products, but you know that beforehand. All in all a very successful evening, we can only recommend Aerde to everyone.

Super expensive tasteless food with a bit cocky service. It hasn’t even been 24 hours and I don’t remember a single dish, however I do remember the incredibly steep prices. Spent over 100 euros pp and we all left hungry. The server also smelled like cigarettes - bit weird for a fine dining place. Would not go back.

intimate feel-good setting. Friendly, approachable support throughout the evening and through the menu. Wine recommendations (natural wines) for the dishes were exciting and sometimes wonderfully unusual. Nothing wild or surprising about the dishes - it was calm and consistently good (recommendation: cauliflower). Great for me: the würztraminer (Skilled, Le Schlouk) with the trout and the Greek sparkling natural wine with the dessert. All in all, a lovely evening thanks to the cozy ambience and the casual attitude in the service; brings joy!

We had a very nice evening at Aerde. Nice food combined with a good wines and great Service. I Highly recommend

Had a wonderful date night! Great service, super nice space and mood, and fantastic food! We had almost all of the dishes on the menu and each of them was delicious. Can’t pick a favorite, but the tartar was amazing, the wines I tried were great and the kombucha (also made by them) was 10/10 Really enjoyed the food and the time there, would recommend for anyone looking for a proper “culinary experience” without breaking the bank

Oh what an experience I had! I celeberated my birthdaydinner at aerde yesterday and was not only mindblown by the venue (very clean and warm designwise - the sunset light makes it magical) but also by the food and the service! Hanna is very warmhearted and always had an eye for our table, also allowing me to try a new drink she just tried out. The food is - hands down - incredible. We tried every dish and there was not a single one that wasn't superb. Can't wait to try the new seasonal menu.

I visited my sister in Berlin over the weekend and we couldn't have had a more magical evening than at aerde. The atmosphere is really nice, you feel like you're among friends and the food and wine are amazing. Everything is totally fresh, original creations and regional. A truly fantastic restaurant!

One of my favorite restaurants in Berlin. Reminds me of Julius in wedding. Excellent vegetarian fare and nonalcoholic options. Inventive. Delicious. For the quality, the prices are reasonable. Cozy indoor seating and a beautiful serene space outside in the summer. My second time now and I don’t know why I haven’t been more often.

I don't even know what I liked best here. The food was creative, fresh, delicious and, on top of that, regional. The service? I immediately felt like a regular! The ambience was also really cozy, great atmosphere despite the small size of the restaurant (the kitchen above the dining room has something special). Everything just fits here, which is why aerde is now in my personal top 5 in Berlin. See you soon! 🤤

We enjoyed our time at aerde so much - the restaurant is at a very nice location (not very central which I like) and the food is fantastic. The dishes are surprising and the flavors are unusual. This is definitely one of the restaurants in Berlin we will be going back to!

11 euros for a puddle of cloudy (senseless) red wine...absolute rip-off....

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. The team is great and the restaurant is very cozy.

There were three of us. From the outside, the small restaurant is inconspicuously embedded in the residential complex on Lokdepot Street. Inside it is modern and simply furnished, with the kitchen located upstairs above the guests. Overall, the furnishings make a harmonious impression. You will be welcomed by a very friendly English-speaking waitress and then competently served. The dishes on offer are limited to a small but also fine selection. Each dish is different from the other and tastes very good. It’s not “zero eight fifties kitchen”! You can simply taste that the kitchen enjoys cooking unusual and good dishes. The price-performance ratio is completely OK. A place you can go to again and again.

Great food, original wines, self-loving service, close cooperation. The kitchen is great - without any ifs and buts, surprises in many courses and is great in terms of price-performance. A round of applause to the balcony floor where the cooking takes place. Great! Unfortunately, the service is only good when it has decided to be good - the focus is not on the guest but on the service itself: the table is not ready at the time of reservation, there is a relaxed smoke in between and the first wine (advice) comes after the first course and selected guests receive close support others do not. But you seem very self-satisfied. The tables are cramped, relaxed eating is different... Overall, they didn't make it easy for us to come back - a shame, because the food was great!

The location itself has a wonderful cozy and chic atmosphere at the same time. We were there during sundowner, which created a great light. The owner and service are very attentive and unbelievably friendly—they take time for you and your questions. We felt very welcomed. Taste-wise, the food was delicious, but I expected a bit more sophistication for the price range. Nothing really surprised me, but perhaps that's not the concept of this restaurant. Technically, the food was well-prepared, and the drinks are excellent. Our favorites were the turnip, venison tartar, and the pastry with poppies. The lilac spritz was also very good. After 8 savory dishes and 2 desserts, there was still room for more, but we were not hungry anymore. There are a few small things to improve: - I would have loved to have small plates for each person from the beginning (sometimes things were hard to share). - The holes in the center of the small tables are impractical.

absolute best experience in Berlin; food, wine and service are impeccable

I have no words to express how delightful and special our experience was!! The food was Devine and tasteful, crafted local ingredients. The wine, specially chosen based on our dishes. We couldn’t resist and ordered the entire menu. Our experience wouldn’t have been the same without the owner( unfortunately I don’t remember his name), super nice chap, and Hanah, they made the difference about our experience. Special shout to the chef and his assistants and the business initiative for working with seasoned/local products. It was around €140 per person, totally worth it, bear in mind we have different special wine bottles. I’m definitely coming back and make sure to spread the word around my friends.

The location alone is a dream, the service more than cordial, the wine selection great and the menu something out of the box. I can only recommend trying everything and enjoying a fine dining menu in a relaxed atmosphere with a very fair pricing. The kohlrabi and pickles were a highlight - highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal and would love to come back!

Had a wonderful dinner. Food, service, wine, ambiance, interior design, all brilliant. Would warmly recommend ♥️

I know a lot has been written here about the wonderful food and the unpretentious but very attentive service, and yet it's all true. Sitting outside we could see the kitchen staff working non-stop, whipping up one perfect dish after another, while the two service staff looked after all the guests in a calm manner that seemed almost effortless, with a smile and attentiveness that you don't often come across in Berlin. Thank you for an amazing experience, we can't wait to try more of your fabulous food.

Very attentive service, very delicious, high level cuisine with interesting twist.

Excellent differentiated varied food with excellent wines. Food sharing recommended.

Wonderful little restaurant with exceptional cuisine and excellent service. Everything is very locally prepared and always new and special in a pleasantly surprising way. Many good restaurants make you think, I should cook that at home again. Here you can enjoy dishes that are only prepared here in such a delicious way. Cooking at a star level, but at the same time completely unpretentious.

Very, very good food, nice and personal atmosphere. Happy to come back!

Very nice, small restaurant to feel good. A great example of what you can do with little space. Great atmosphere and excellent food + drinks. Absolute recommendation

Great food, great atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Really good food, concept, ambience and service. Would come back for sure, but the ventilation system needs to be figured out. All our clothes smelled heavily from the food cooked in the kitchen upstairs. Given the prices and expectations, this aspect left a slightly bitter side note to the experience.

Well hidden pearl. Outstandingly good cuisine, small, finely balanced overall result. Very warm hospitality and a highly professional, yet family atmosphere. Very consistent in the locomotive depot context

I was lucky enough to witness the sunset during my stroll to the restaurant, perfectly complementing the vibes of my evening at aerde. The concept is incredibly appealing, with extensive preparations involved despite the minimalistic presentation of the dishes. Though they appear simple, they are anything but; how the flavours complemented each other gave you a hint of the time-consuming work behind them. The regional aspect added to its attractiveness and my soul longing for sustainability really felt at peace. I had the vegetarian menu and as much as I wasn't feeling like I missed out on anything, glimpses of trays adorned with perfectly cooked meat and fish made me a tad nostalgic for my carnivorous days, I have to be honest. Besides the food, the ambiance really made me feel like I was in a (chef's) living room and/or pantry - in the best way possible. I must also mention the hearty welcome I got when I visited; Justus is an amazing host with a beautiful energy and mood that's really contagious. While respecting personal space (as I shielded myself with my book), he still managed to bring his burning passion for what he does to light. I personally also loved that he was singing along with the songs of the playlist the whole time. (He probably picked them himself, which makes it a bit easier, but not any less impressive or positive. 😃) Overall, I highly recommend aerde to anyone who wants to feel down to earth connecting with it - in the most luxurious yet unpretentious way possible.

I was amazed by the quality of the food, the entire team and the atmosphere. The boss welcomes every guest personally and helps you feel at home. Absolute recommendation!!!

The food is amazing, the care and detail in the ingredients sets this restaurant apart from many in Berlin. Highly recommend trying it out

Hey people, A few weeks ago I was in this small, relatively new restaurant in Schöneberg, which I was very impressed with, which is why I would definitely recommend it! You are greeted by an atmosphere that is almost like a living room, with a large, square wooden table in the middle of the room, which invites several parties to sit at it. On the wall there is a shelf with a wide variety of fermented and other home-made products, which unfold their “magic” in the regional menu. What is unusual is the kitchen, which is located on the 2nd floor in a small gallery --> you don't see it often. But enough of that, the friendly service explained the menu to us quite quickly, using the sharing plates concept, and we decided to just try out all the courses and share them (highly recommended, sharing concepts are great!). The food was delivered quickly and the attentive service always took the time to answer even the smallest questions about the courses --> Big praise, you felt like you were in very good hands 🙏. Now let's get to the menu... It was simply amazing!! With each of your dishes you can feel the craftsmanship and the ideas behind keeping everything as regional as possible. The corridors remain exciting throughout and you always look forward to seeing what will be carried down the small wooden stairs next. Be it the regional style ramen, the almost melting pike perch in the brown butter or the game goulash which was really so perfectly balanced and simply delicious!! In summary, I can only say you are doing a great job, dear team at the AERDE restaurant, and I hope you stay that way, because we had a lot of fun and will definitely be back ✌️ P.S. I would like to add more pictures but unfortunately Google won't let me :/

Possibly the best dining experience I've had in 9 years in Berlin. Just go here before they get a star and then you can't afford it any more.

Lovely little place outside of the usual dining hotspots of Berlin. Food is amazing, wines were delectable. The marriage of flavours and texture, spot on! Many surprises in the dishes and we like how fermented and/or pickled elements were used to elevate the dishes. Definitely will be back when the menu changes. The place has a somewhat laid back atmosphere, which makes dining a lot less stressful. If there is something to point out, it would be to improve on the ventilation.

Absolutely incredible experience. I stumbled upon this restaurant on my own while in Berlin for a work trip. Hands down the best fine dining I’ve experienced in this city, but still very relaxed and unpretentious. Every dish perfectly prepared, thoughtfully crafted and all the ingredients sourced locally. They were even kind enough to work with me on identifying gluten free options. Lovely natural wines, beautiful atmosphere. Great date spot or place for a special evening out.

What a gem this restaurant is! The love that has been poured into thos place by the owners and people working here is very noticable. The eye for detail and quality comes through in all facets, the food, the service, the design of the place and even the website. I highly recommend this restaurant! Also you will taste things you'll likely never tasted before :)

Very good food, great service, always again! Since everything is cashless, this should be known beforehand.

Delicious and original👌 The place, the service, the dishes: everything was perfect. Thanks again !

So rare to find a restaurant in Berlin that gets everything right!

I’ve been here a couple of times and have been consistently blown away. The space is so smart, lovely, comfortable, and unique. The service is incredibly welcoming and they really make you feel like you’re being cared for. But the true stand-out is the food. The flavors are innovative and absolutely exceptional. I think this is a highly underrated restaurant in Berlin that more people should go to.

Outstanding restaurant with pretty unique concept. I really enjoyed the evening and every course in it. Combining the flavors of fermentation with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients creates a truly unique set of dishes, which I did not taste in any other restaurant so far. The wine pairing was perfect and added an additional dimension for every course, without overpowering any of the ingredients. The only thing I can think of that could be improved would be the light levels, since I felt it was a bit too dark to really appreciate the compositions on the plates.

The food was very delicious, savory, and uniquely prepared. I was visiting my son who lives in Berlin and we were both very pleased. Service was great and enjoyed the chef explaining the preparation and making of the dishes. Excellent from all aspects.

super super super super delicious and a great evening - thank you very much!

Kleines, gemütliches Restaurant mit lokalem Schwerpunkt. Großartige Produkte. Einflüsse der New Nordic Cuisine - Fermentation ist kein Fremdwort. Sehr herzlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Ich saß allein am Bartresen und war rundum umsorgt. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre und ausgezeichnetes Essen :)

eine weitere 5*-Bewertung, leckeres Essen, toller Service, super Ambiente.. macht weiter so! 🫶🏼

Really refreshing to experience such creativity with lots of ingredients from the forest close by. The young team makes you feel welcome as soon as you step into the restaurant. We will definitely return.

Super Menü: jeder Gang war spannend, außergewöhnlich und sehr lecker. Service sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir kommen gern wieder!

We witnessed an incredible evening of flavours and hospitality from Justus and his dedicated team of chefs. Starting with an immaculate sourdough bread served with sweet caramelized butter and offset with a melody of fermented pumpkin, pepper and cauliflower pieces, this was closely followed by an outsanding pairing of fennel and tarragon and the menu then continued to roll through sublime & subtle shifts to end up with a dessert of cucumber, & popped buckwheat with a cooling joghurt. The wines were expertly selected & brought to the table by Justus who spent time to sit with us & give background to the choices and concepts behind this strictly locally sourced menu. Special mention to the young head chef who created magic behind the scenes but really this is project is a combined & collected labour of love & if Aerde continues like this, their first Michelin star will not be far away...

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend im aerde. Das Essen war super lecker und sehr besonders. Service und Ambiente waren grandios. Tolles Erlebnis. Wir kommen wieder und können es wärmstens empfehlen.

Wir hatten einen großartigen Abend im aerde. Der Service war aufmerksam, persönlich, unkompliziert und informiert. Das Essen hat Kopf und Bauch bedient – jeder Gang sehr abwechslungsreich und höchst lecker (Lieblingsgänge: Der Barsch und die Gelbe Beete). Die Atmosphäre ist außergewöhnlich und sehr intim, aber nichts für Leute mit Platzangst oder Sozialphobie :-)

Ich bin begeistert vom Essen, vom Wein, vom Service und von der Atmosphäre. Eine Reise wert!

Ohne Worte 🥰 ein Erlebnis der anderen Art, es gibt dich noch kreative und engagierte Mitmenschen, die einem das Leben verschönern, danke dafür

Oasis in Berlin. 🪨🍃 Excellent service and amazing cuisine. After taking seats, the clerk handed us warm hand towels that exuded the aroma of rosemary, providing a soothing and relaxing experience. We were then served a special wild herb tea at the perfect drinking temperature. Before sipping, the fragrances of grass and wood gently wafted into our noses. Upon tasting the tea, we detected a delicate hint of strawberry with a subtle sweetness. Afterwards, the chef presented us with herbal potatoes, which were warm and infused with a plant aroma. Following that, we were served our six courses. I particularly enjoyed the celery, char, and cauliflower.

ganz großes kino. wir haben uns von der ersten sekunde wie zuhause gefühlt. persönliche begrüßung. exzellenter service. tolle weine. und das essen erst... unbedingt ausprobieren!

Ein Geheimtipp im kulinarisch verwöhnten Berlin! Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend mit exzellentem Essen, tollen Weinen (auch die alkoholfreie Begleitung war super) und unglaublich herzlichen Gastgebern. Vor allem die Herzlichkeit und der persönliche Service unterscheiden diesen Ort von anderen Casual-Fine-Dining-Restaurants in Berlin. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Wieder hatten wieder einmal einen wunderbaren Abend in der aerde. Restaurantleiterin Hillevi war für unsere 8 Personen-Gruppe perfekte Gastgeberin - immer zugewandt und auskunftsfreudig. Das Menü entwickelt sich seit der Eröffnung stetig auf sehr hohem und individuellem Niveau weiter - für Vegetarier:innen und Fleischfreund:innen. Die Weinbegleitung ist absolut stimmig und hat bei jedem Besuch mindestens eine schöne Überraschung parat. Gestern hat die aerde 2 neue Fans aus München gewonnen und wir Berliner kommen natürlich auch immer wieder gerne. Chapeau und weiter so!

Tolles Essen sehr innovativ. Ausgesprochen netter zuvorkommender Service und gute Weine ! Unbedingte Empfehlung!

Der Abend im aerde war von Anfang an hervorragend. Angefangen bei der überaus freundlichen, zuvorkommenden und dennoch entspannten Begrüßung des Services sowie den tollen Erläuterungen zu der Weinbegleitung und den Gängen. Man kann sich hier bei diesem Team nur wohlfühlen! Dass die drei Köche ihr Konzept durchdacht haben und in Perfektion umsetzen, zeigt das Präsentieren von eher wenigen Zutaten auf den Tellern, welche jede für sich herausragend zubereitet wurden. Jeder Gang war ein Genuss pur! Es war ein rundum phänomenales Erlebnis!

The best food I’ve eaten in Berlin. Delicious flavour combinations for vegetarians or meat eaters. And truly fantastic drinks. Great wine and the best selection of alcohol-free drinks I’ve had anywhere. I’ll definitely be back

Ce restaurant est tout simplement excellent ! Tout y est impeccable, le cadre, le service et la nourriture . A découvrir absolument ! Je ne serais d’ailleurs pas surpris qu’il obtienne rapidement une étoile au guide Michelin ⭐️

Our dinner at aerde was magical. The host Hannes greeted us like old friends and kept us comfortable, fed and entertained throughout the evening. The food and wine were incredible. Standouts for me were the juicy North Sea oysters elevated with fir oil (ask them how this is done), the haybutter served with subtly steaming bread, the young white wine recommended to us out of a wine menu sorted by soil, and the dessert, an unusual but surprisingly balanced combination of strawberries, sunflower seeds and black garlic. The restaurant is fittingly located in the red Schöneberg Lokdepot building and it’s ambiance is serene and added to experience. A truly memorable meal.

Staff, food and atmosphere just amazing. Give it a try. You won‘t be disappointed.

Amazing food, super friendly staff and the place is awesome!
