Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro in Berlin

We had a great time at Bon Vivant! As mentioned in other reviews, you should plan on spending at least 4 hours there, but that wasn't a problem for us. The food was excellent, the service was perfect with explanations about the dishes, and the cocktails were great. We just wished the room was full!

A warm, welcoming environment, very knowledgeable and attentive staff, and the food, with such surprising, novel flavors and textures, was truly sublime. Ausgezeichnete Erfahrungen ✨️

Amazing experience! The pairing with the cocktails was a new concept to me and it was fabulous. Service is great, relax but elegant and the food absolutely delicious. We had a very great time. I loved it!

Unfortunately, the brunch was quite disappointing. Friendly service, but: 1. They couldn't offer an alternative to goat cheese (at a price of €20 for the dish, "simply leaving it out" is unacceptable, IMO). 2. The cilantro, which is notoriously controversial, wasn't mentioned in the menu and, after receiving it and asking about it, was simply removed – without actually getting all of it, of course. Nice atmosphere, but extremely cold – the heating apparently wasn't working. But €66 for 2 teas, 2 coffees, & 2 brunch dishes...

We were there for a corporate dinner. We arrived in two cars and asked that the first two be allowed to start with the seven-course meal, as we had to leave early. Flexible service, top-notch waitresses, and a generally good vibe. Personally, I don't like restaurants on streets—Bomvivant can't be blamed for that. The outstanding food deserves special mention; one of the best 1-star experiences I've had so far. Also worth mentioning is that, in the spirit of sustainability, cutlery is only refilled if you insist—we love it. One thing that shouldn't happen is that two drinks are forgotten during a cocktail pairing, which shouldn't happen in this (price) segment, given how relaxed our group was. Hence the point deduction; it actually deserves a 5/5. Clear recommendation!

Brunch was enjoyable. The food was delicious, and the service was good as well. However, for a Michelin-star brunch, I expected a bit more of a wow factor; otherwise, I was completely satisfied.

Very nice place, kind service, I recommend!

For vegan fine dining fans, this is one of the best, if not THE best, address in town. Every course (be sure to try the chef's signature dish) was flavorfully balanced and finely composed. The non-alcoholic accompaniments were carefully selected. Attentive service, a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended, and excellent value for money.

Comfort and style are debatable, but taste is also a matter of debate, not here. The food and drinks here are of a standard we've never experienced before. We're talking about vegan cuisine that doesn't shy away from comparison with other diets. Regional, innovative, harmonious, and inspiring. As a couple who regularly dine at Michelin-starred restaurants in this country, we dare to ask why this restaurant doesn't have a second or third star. It can't be the fault of the food, drinks, or service team.

Thank you for the great service! Very friendly staff and good food.

Simply a taste experience. Excellent service, beautiful ambiance. Highly recommended.

We were there for brunch; the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly and was a real explosion of flavor—simply wow. I highly recommend it!

Great healthy food in super location

The Bonvivant is a truly fantastic restaurant. I highly recommend it, even for non-vegans.

A place that convinces even the most hardcore carnivores (I am one) that animal products aren't necessary for a high-class meal. The menu is light and perfectly balanced. My secret highlight is the Buchteln (bunch of dumplings with tapenade) as a starter. The service also leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our time in Bonvivant. I haven't spent so long in a restaurant for years. We were made very welcome on arriving at our booked time, atmosphere was very chilled out, and given a choice of where to sit. We chose the bar and turned out that was absolutely the right choice! From start to finish the staff at Bonvivant made our time there (3+ hours) extra special, but we have to give a shout out to Joe, the absolute star of the show for our evening. Joe is super friendly, amazing at his job, and extremely knowledgeable about a lot of different stuff! Thank you so much for keeping us company during our dinner, me and my partner enjoyed our time here so much that in our usual "top five holiday moments" Bonvivant made both of our lists (in a city which is FULL of stuff to see and do, people to meet, and great food). Loved the ethos of the restaurant and it didn't feel pretentious in the way some Michelin star places do. Please share the recipe for the Buchteln, I have dreamt about it each nice since we ate it. Other staff very welcoming, friendly, and all with a good sense of humour. Enjoyed being able to watch the chefs at work :) Will definitely recommend! And loved the little touches here and there (He-Man in the toilets made us both smile).

Unfortunately, the non-vegan menu used to be much better. What a shame.

I had a fantastic evening & I’d need to learn new adjectives to properly describe every dish and drink. I love vegetables, and what Bonvivant creates with them is simply extraordinary.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a 6-course vegan dinner with a non-alcoholic drink. The service was genuinely friendly and attentive. The dishes were unusual and extremely delicious. Only the time interval between the individual dishes could have been slightly shorter, and the chairs and benches could have been made a bit more comfortable with cushions. Otherwise, a first-class experience if you want to experience something completely new and exciting in terms of cuisine.

This was our second time here for the dinner menu. The last time was in 2023 – shortly before they received their first Michelin star. The food is delicious – the mushroom course (pictured here) was particularly great. The cocktail pairing (also non-alcoholic) is probably the best we've had at any Michelin-starred restaurant here in Berlin. Creative cocktails that perfectly complement the dishes. And the service leaves nothing to be desired. Mariami and Lenny guided us wonderfully through the evening. Highly recommended. :)

I was here for brunch. A very nice cafe/restaurant. The food was so delicious. Highly recommended! The service is very friendly and it's a pleasure to eat here. The prices are also more than justified for the great quality and quantity of the food. This is now one of my favorite restaurants!

Food and service of a higher standard at a corresponding price. Purely vegetarian cuisine. However... Some of the guests were rude, shouting "move to Brandenburg" at local residents because they pointed out that families with strollers couldn't get through the crowded sidewalk. Staff stood by and didn't care. Not nice :-/

My favourite brunch spot since the restaurant was opened! Eggs benny are exactly the same taste wise - one of my favourite! Over the years the quality hasn’t changed, however we all miss the huge pancake in the pan :) here are the photos from today’s brunch!

Quite pricey for the amount of food you get. Nice atmosphere though

An absolute highlight. Great taste experience, fantastic service. We went for dinner, the full program – seven courses plus a signature dish, with a non-alcoholic accompaniment. Expensive but worth every cent. Outstanding quality. Allow a little over three hours due to the many courses. Fine dining, and still filling ;)

I was here for Sunday brunch and was very satisfied overall. The quality of the food is truly outstanding—it's no wonder the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. Since then, however, you've noticed that a lot has changed: it's busier, the atmosphere is livelier, and you can expect somewhat longer wait times. There was a small mistake during my visit; I was initially brought the wrong dish. But the service reacted immediately and professionally and gave me the choice: eat the dish for free or get the dish I actually ordered. Very fair treatment, which I really appreciate. The atmosphere is modern and rather hip; a bit hectic, you won't necessarily find peace and quiet here, but the place has an energetic dynamism that many will surely appreciate. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but overall, reasonable considering the quality of the food and service.

1000 Flavor Explosions The menu was simply divine; we thoroughly enjoyed every single course. The non-alcoholic beverage pairings were also fantastic and very imaginative.

Very nice with friendly staff and nice atmosphere, I throughly recommend 👌🏻

Enjoying Life – Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro in Berlin The Berlin sky is brighter than ever. This year, Michelin has awarded 22 restaurants in Berlin one, two, or three stars. Here, the creative chefs, with their cosmopolitanism and diverse philosophies, are stirring things up and letting us taste what's currently in vogue. For me, it's especially the culinary diversity of the vegetarian and vegan cuisine of owner Nikodemus Berger, who was awarded one star and an additional green star for excellent sustainability. In 2025, Berger and his highly talented team completely converted their cuisine to a vegan approach. Sustainability, in particular, is one of the team's greatest motivations and also creates a completely new and creative culinary art, which is gently presented to the plates and the senses of the guests with great passion and sensitivity. Nikodemus Berger enjoys experimenting with and within his team. Here, boundaries and traditions blur to find the best vegan techniques and ingredients. This also applies to the exciting and enjoyable exploration of aquafaba, a cooking or soaking water for legumes. Or the facets of roasted baker's yeast and potato proteins, which in some versions are reminiscent of meringue. Yes! Here at Nikodemus Berger, many vegan creations are still being discovered and finely cultivated. And that's precisely what makes vegan cuisine so incredibly exciting and creates a great desire to taste its creations. But at Bonvivant, vegetables don't just appear on the plate. Bar manager Yvonne Rahm likes to enrich her cocktail creations with a dash of spirulina, beetroot, or pumpkin seeds. Here, the diversity of the cuisine is complemented by an unusual selection of drinks, which, contrary to the usual standards, impresses with creative, specially created drinks. The menu presents a changing selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Served as eat-easy cuisine for sharing, the variety of colors and flavors is a wonderful treat, best enjoyed with a few friends, and underscores the joy of being together. At Bonvivant, the highest priority is given to the ingredients used: products are sourced exclusively from trusted producers or come from the Bonvivant team's hand-picked herb-gathering selection. Bonviant, by the way, means "enjoying life." The team at Bistro Bonviant lets you feel and taste the joy of living. Chapeau!!!

We had a very nice evening - excellent and personal service and an equally great menu.

The two of us sat at the bar for brunch. The service was extremely inattentive; it took 15 minutes for us to receive the menus. Another 20 minutes passed before we were allowed to order. Our coffees arrived fairly quickly, while we waited around 50 minutes for our two dishes until I asked the server at the bar if our food was still coming. He checked with the kitchen and returned after some delay, informing us that our order had indeed been missed. However, there was no apology or offer of a second drink on the house (our coffees had, of course, been long finished by then). None of the staff noticed that we had to wait so long for every step. Our food finally arrived, and I politely asked for compensation in the form of two orange juices on the house, to which the somewhat rude reply: "If you want." After that, however, another 10 minutes saw no reaction, and my eye contact was lost. The oyster mushrooms were oversalted, the tomato bread tasty but nothing special (especially for this price range), so the food didn't make up for the long wait. However, we decided not to mention it, as we expected further delays. We did receive our free orange juices after all. Overall, not a great experience. Our neighbors received the wrong dish and waited about 45 minutes for the correct one. Suggestions for improvement: Point out long waits right from the start, be more attentive, offer a compensatory drink, and be friendly. For a restaurant in this price range and with a Michelin star, there's definitely room for improvement! We've had significantly better experiences at Breakfast 3000, especially in terms of the dishes and service.

The food and cocktails were both so delicious! Hannah and Lasse were both great and very attentive. Highly recommend!

Exceptional even at this level, pleasantly surprising at every turn. All dishes converge in very subtle and German flavor experiences that could not be more inspired and better technically executed.

The conjuring work of chef Nikodemus Berger makes you completely forget that the dishes are vegan. Even meat and fish eaters won't miss a thing.

I had a great time with the 6-course menu and the accompanying cocktails. Fast, very professional, and friendly service. I was almost pleasantly surprised by what the kitchen and bar conjured up – I've only experienced such creativity at CODA before. The Michelin star is appropriate here, too! If you're coming alone or with a partner and don't necessarily want to sit in a quiet corner for two, definitely sit at the bar and eat: it's a real treat!

The team was very friendly, the evening was well-rounded and thoroughly enjoyable, and the food, along with the drinks, was very good—heavenly. There was never a shortage of meat; in fact, I found it inspiring to eat more vegan food in the future. The regional connection and the palpable enthusiasm for plants were fantastic. We were very well seated, and our dog was warmly welcomed and felt at home, too. The beetroot tartlets and truffle brioche with mushrooms were incredibly good, as was everything else. The music wasn't too loud, as other reviews have written. In fact, the concept of a single menu for all guests created a pleasant sense of calm in the room, as everyone was equally involved in the dining experience, with no customers coming and going. New favorite place!

We ordered and food and drinks came so fast. The outside seating area is really lovely ❤️. The eggs Benedict were great. The French toast was quite nice as well however we didn't love the pancakes. It had this cardamom taste in it which we didn't love, maybe someone else might appreciate it. When it comes to service, i expected at least a smile from the person who was waiting on our table but she gave us a poker face. I could rate the overall experience 7/10.

The brunch is incredibly good. Perfect eggs Benedict. Boozy, just as a brunch should be, combined with cheerful service and good vibes. Those who like can upgrade the wine and sparkling wine selection to perfection. A great "Berlin fun" experience.

Brunch: We were here a year or two ago and it was fantastic. I was extremely impressed by the miso hollandaise sauce. Unfortunately, today's food wasn't as good. The fried potatoes are no longer served with the delicious miso hollandaise sauce, but with a truffle sauce. The oyster mushroom bread was unfortunately too salty. :/ The service and ambiance are otherwise still very good. Perhaps the bathroom could be cleaned more often.

There were five of us in the restaurant, and we each had the five-course menu. The service was very friendly and attentive, and some of the courses were truly creative and of a very high standard in terms of flavor. Other dishes, however, were rather minimalist/"simple" and, in our opinion, didn't always fully justify the price. A major drawback was, unfortunately, the wait between courses: The menu took us almost 4.5 hours in total. We had reserved a table at 7:30 p.m. and didn't leave until shortly before midnight. After almost three hours, we had barely reached the first main course and even asked for a shorter wait between courses. The restaurant was busy but not fully booked, so we couldn't quite explain the long waits. It was a shame, because as time went on, the wait for the next course became increasingly exhausting, especially with the loud music. Towards the end, we felt more like we wanted to "get the menu over with" than be able to relax and enjoy it. We actually had plans for another evening, but unfortunately, that fell through. Overall, a mixed review: There were some culinary highlights, the service was very friendly, but the long wait and the loud music unfortunately spoiled the experience.

Is it the case these days that people laugh at you?

A wonderful evening with attentive service and a menu that amazed us with every course. Thank you for this unique experience!

A culinary journey in a class of its own!

The two of us had an excellent meal. Each course offered such wonderful flavors and textures. Nothing was run-of-the-mill, and everything was perfectly balanced. The bolete and the Douglas fir pre-dessert were our favorites (everything else was also delicious). In a very pleasant atmosphere, they also offer exciting non-alcoholic drinks to accompany (or accompany) the meal.

A super lovely place. The vibe is very nice, the staff is super professional and friendly. The food was really really good. My only criticism is that some of the dishes have a very prominent Indian spice, and it’s not mentioned in the menu. It took me by surprise and it’s not my cup of tea, but other than that- superb food. The cocktails are also very very good. Delicious with great layers of flavor. I highly recommend.

Old Berlin cuisine and very nice owner

Anyone who still has reservations about the word 'vegan' can experience for themselves how diverse and varied vegan and, in this case, regional cuisine is. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, even for those who sometimes find a Michelin-starred restaurant 'too stiff'. The team is great, and the service is attentive but never intrusive. Only the 'a bit too loud' music fits more to a bar than to a restaurant.

It was a little disappointing tbh. Went there because of a coupon. The food was great. We had Benedict’s egg, the price was shown 16 euro on Neo app but actually 22 euro in in the restaurant. The drinks are very expensive but understandable if it was marketed as used to be Michelin star restaurant. The service should definitely be improved. Our water was once forgotten and also the table next to us got earliwr serving even though we ordered earlier. Indoor was relatively hot in a summer day.

We were there for brunch. The dishes were exceptionally good, imaginative, but perfectly flavorful. Great, very friendly service. Absolutely top recommendation! Foodies might wonder why only one star. We'll be back and are already looking forward to it.

Nice place, service was very slow, food was ok, coffee came with oat milk without the menu or the server saying that they don’t have normal milk.

We had a wonderful evening with many delicious snacks. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, and we would be happy to return.

Michelin starred vegan restaurant where natural colors, animal-friendly flavors, and sustainable liquids bang and mix in your delighted mouth. Some of the edible flowers are picked in a Berlin public park, pine needles from a neighbor's tree, and the chef grows his yuzu on the balcony. Not only is the approach thoughtful with hyperlocal ingredients but the result is spectacular. Try the pairing, with or without alcohol, and don't miss Chef Berger's signature dish - burnt broccoli and "Parmesan" tuiles.

We went to the vegetarian/vegan Michelin-starred restaurant Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro for both brunch and fine dining – and both were simply amazing! You don't even know where to begin: the combinations of ingredients are creative, sophisticated, and simply perfectly balanced. Each course was an experience in itself – and you can see that in the photos. And then there were the cocktails! Not only a visual highlight, but also a taste sensation of the highest quality – incredibly delicious and exceptionally well-crafted. The ambiance is stylish, modern, and cozy at the same time – you immediately feel at home. We would also like to particularly highlight the service: attentive, professional, warm, and highly trained. If you're looking for special vegetarian or vegan cuisine in Berlin – you can't go wrong here. Absolutely recommend it!

The best restaurant with exclusively vegan food that we've been to several times. Attentive service with only young employees ‼️😃 We can wholeheartedly recommend Bonvivant ‼️

We went to Bonvivant for holiday brunch. The absolute highlight was the 'Crispy Fried Oyster Mushroom,' which was incredibly delicious and I highly recommend it. The 'Eggs Benedict on Sourdough Bread' was also very tasty, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. The 'Smashing Granola' and 'Brioche Pancake' (all in the photos) are very interesting and good. We were a little unlucky with our drinks. Unfortunately, they arrived after the main course, and I found them a bit watery. So, unfortunately, I can't recommend the 'Vincent Spritz' and 'Way Better Than Aperol,' but the drinks menu has other promising options, maybe next time ;)

Can’t put stars as thought it’s too much price for us £150 for five small courses

Excellent brunch. Good creative food and drinks run by a passionate team in the kitchen and in service. Service is also very good and not your typical Berliner style. Also love the decoration. Need to come back for lunch / dinner.

Had Not a French toast and a Brioche pancake (shared between two). Food was so good and fresh. Really good coffee and cocktails too.

The 7-course menu was a magnificent treat! The service team was absolutely professional! The 1-Michelin star is absolutely deserved, and there's still room for improvement!

Everything was great. Service was excellent. Would recommend.

A really good brunch spot with top-notch vegan options. The bread with crunchy oyster mushrooms tasted fantastic! Good service, I'd be happy to come back. Reservations are best on weekends...

I loved it and recommend it to all my friends! I had such a great experience, both for the delicious food and the very welcoming and prepared staff. They accommodated all my allergies and delighted me with the tastiest vegetarian food! Thank you!

Overall, breakfast at this restaurant was positive. The decor is tasteful, and the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed. We particularly enjoyed the drinks. Unfortunately, my personal dish, the Crispy Fried Oyster Mushroom, was a disappointment. The mushrooms were significantly oversalted, which I didn't like. It's a shame, because the concept of the dish sounded promising. I would come back, but order something different next time.

A wonderful evening at Bonvivant! The menu was excellently put together and the flavors were truly impressive. I was particularly impressed by the creative cocktail pairings – perfectly matched to the individual courses and a real highlight. The service was warm, attentive, and pleasantly unobtrusive. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience with great attention to detail. We'll definitely be back!

My partner and I went there for brunch. First of all, the food was really bad. I initially ordered a green shakshuka but didn’t like the taste, so I asked the waitress to change my order and bring something different that could be prepared faster. I chose the Eggs Benedict. After 30 minutes, they finally brought it—cold. At the end, we asked for the bill and, surprisingly, they included the dish I didn’t like and didn’t eat at all. The person who brought the bill introduced himself as the manager and started arguing, claiming the issue wasn’t with the food but with my personal taste. After several minutes of arguing, they finally charged us only for the two meals. Besides, he also explained that their kitchen is small and they can’t provide quick service for everyone. In that case, I would honestly suggest closing the restaurant if you’re not able to serve simple egg-based dishes in a reasonable time. The service, the attitude, and the quality (taste and temperature) of the food were all very disappointing. Would not recommend this place if you value good service and good food.

Disappointing Brunch Experience – Not Worth the Michelin Mention We chose this restaurant for brunch because it was listed in the Michelin guide and had high expectations. Initially, things looked promising — the coffee was good and the ambiance seemed pleasant. However, the experience quickly went downhill. We ordered shakshuka and eggs Benedict. Despite the restaurant being far from full and at least 6–7 servers visibly idle, it took 25 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did, the shakshuka was inedible — the taste was strange and off-putting. My boyfriend took one bite, called the server, and asked for it to be replaced. We asked what could be prepared quickly, and were told eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict I had was served cold and drenched in hollandaise sauce. The flavor was mediocre at best — heavy, fatty, and underwhelming. After another 30-minute wait, the second eggs Benedict arrived, and it was again cold and just “okay.” It honestly felt like they were waiting for a chicken to lay a fresh egg. To make matters worse, when the bill arrived, we were charged for the shakshuka — a dish we sent back after one bite. The server’s reasoning? “It was cooked, so you have to pay for it.” This was shocking. After a 10-minute argument, he finally agreed to remove it from the bill, but that should never have been a point of debate in the first place. The bathroom floor was sticky, like it hadn’t been cleaned in days, which further tainted the impression. While the general atmosphere was fine, the overall service and food quality were nowhere near Michelin level. The staff lacked basic customer service skills, and the experience felt unprofessional and frustrating. We left very disappointed and confused as to how this place made it into the Michelin guide. Definitely would not recommend — and we won’t be returning.

Awesome staff but it was honestly too pricy! The water is given for free though which is nice:)

The visit to Bonvivant was great. We've been there several times and the menu just keeps getting better. The courses are very well coordinated with both the alcoholic and the non-alcoholic accompaniment, the quantity is neither too much nor too little and you can notice the sophistication of each individual course without there being too many impressions. Add to that the world-class service. The staff is super nice and you can have a great chat and feel very comfortable as a guest. It was a really great evening, many similar priced (and excellent) restaurants can still learn a lot.

We were guests in the outdoor area on a Saturday morning and were able to enjoy a really successful breakfast! The brioche pancakes were really great! The prices are a little higher but it's worth it! We'd love to come back! Thanks for the great breakfast!

Very good vegan restaurant, we have tried the 6 dishes menù with cocktail pairing; an excellent experience

We were there for breakfast and really enjoyed the food and nice service. Everything grest and strongly advice to visit when in Berlin.

The food and especially the sauces are so incredibly delicious. I never thought that vegan cuisine could be so diverse and tasty. We had the non-alcoholic drink accompaniment and in combination with the dishes it was simply excellent. The service was attentive and relaxed - it was nice that fine dining is no longer so stuffy. Great evening - thank you very much.

The breakfast is simply incredibly delicious and the service is very friendly and helpful. It's also great that there is a water flat rate (still or sparkling) for just 2.50 euros per person. Absolute recommendation!

Excellent, perfect service, perfect craftsmanship

I'm still excited. Vegan food can be so exciting. Was here for the fourth time and I was always thrilled

Delicious drinks and especially delicious food 😍

Great food, great staff, a work of art!

I was here for brunch (make sure to make a reservation!) and everything was super aromatic and delicious! Service also quick and attentive!

I have been a frequent guest at the bistro for several years and have always been more than satisfied. Absolute recommendation!

Very pretty place with delicious food and cocktails! I was here for brunch and I can totally recommend Green shakshuka. I also tried one cocktail Wacholder & Schaum which was excellent! I remove one star from food because I didn’t quite like the taste of coffee (maybe it’s because of pea milk, which I chose since they don’t serve a cow milk and I haven’t seen soy one) or maybe just grains… but it didn’t spoil my experience at all. Also as a quick note, I see that online menu is a bit outdated in comparison with the restaurant one, for instance it states that in hot beverages section there’s a soya milk, however I didn’t see it in the options on a menu at the restaurant.

I actually really like Bonvivant, but the development is becoming more and more negative. Last year there was a surprising price increase to almost 150 euros for a menu, which unfortunately wasn't really visible on the menu, at least not if you weren't expecting it. Because it was already very expensive at over 80 euros for a menu. This led to very long faces from my colleagues. Now the next attack, there is no more milk with the cappuccino, only a substitute with peas, for example. So no more cappuccino, the espresso was very good. The friendly waitress warned me that breakfast will soon be vegan. That means no more eggs. Then I won't want to come anymore. Totally a shame. Since the restaurant is quite full, it seems to be working. In any case, the food tasted very good. And the drinks are fantastic. I probably have to say goodbye with a crying heart, there is a lot of choice in Berlin, and I'm a carnivore and keto eater, so this was my only admittedly loved plant-based eating place that I've accepted so far. You find your favorite guests. Thanks for a great time, I've been there so many times, including with our team for Christmas dinner back then.

Excellent 5 course menu. Big praise to Nikodemus Berger and the team.

A truly fantastic all-round package with great service, unique dishes, and special drinks. The young team does an incredibly good job and doesn't make it look like work. For me, it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

Great atmosphere and fantastic vegan star cuisine!

An evening at the Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro – full of flavor and emotion We were fortunate enough to spend an evening at the Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro in Berlin – and it was simply fantastic. From the very first moment, the team took wonderful care of us – attentive, warm, but never intrusive. You immediately sense that they love what they do. The menu (there are 5 or 6 courses; we opted for the 5-course option with cocktail pairing) was surprising – in the best sense of the word. Each dish had character, depth, and was creatively composed without sacrificing flavor. We were particularly impressed by the balance between elegance and down-to-earthness. Nothing was "too much"; everything was harmonious. What we particularly liked: the consistent commitment to sustainability. The ingredients are locally sourced, used thoughtfully, and treated with genuine respect – you can taste it. The cocktails, perfectly matched to the dishes, were not just accompaniments, but an integral part of the culinary experience. One small disappointment – ​​we were sitting in a somewhat chilly corner of the room, which briefly reminded us that even the most beautiful things can sometimes have a slight imperfection. But even that had something almost charming about it, and was easily overshadowed by the overall experience. Bonvivant isn't a place where you simply eat. It's more of a small, refined experience – unpretentious, but with a high level of sophistication. Anyone curious about exciting plant-based cuisine served with heart shouldn't miss this place. We'll definitely be back. And maybe you will, too.

The food was delicious, but I found the prices a bit high. The drinks, on the other hand, are absolutely exorbitant. 5 euros for 200ml of Fritz Cola... 7 euros for 300ml of lemonade... I really like the place itself, and the employees were nice, too.

I had high expectations when I went to this Michelin-starred restaurant for brunch and was very disappointed. You walk in and are immediately overwhelmed by the extreme noise level. No small corners or niches, just a large space, and the bar stools are fine for a snack bar but not for a renowned restaurant for dining. Furthermore, the tables are extremely small and extremely close to each other, so you're surrounded by guests and can hear every word loudly... Then, all of a sudden, there wasn't even any cow's milk left for the cappuccino my mother was so looking forward to. Eggs are also supposed to be abolished and everything is supposed to go vegan... absolutely fantastic. When the plates arrived, there were actually several chipped spots. THIS, too, is completely unacceptable for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The waiters themselves seemed irritated by their boss's plans to go vegan and expressed this. The restrooms are also just average, sometimes dusty and dirty. THAT too... Well, you can imagine. The crispy mushrooms were unfortunately completely overseasoned and far too salty, a real shame. I found the potatoes with hollandaise sauce unimaginative and unworthy of such a restaurant, even though they weren't bad. But mashed potatoes with a bit of sesame sprinkled on top with what felt like 300ml of sauce? Come on! Oh, and we just didn't like the oat cappuccino, even though we wanted to be open-minded and try it. The coffee itself was good, but cow's milk is and always will be delicious. And I don't like freedom of choice in a kitchen instead of rigid rules and prohibitions. Of course, I chose to have my own "vegetarian-only" restaurant myself, but despite the openness, I'll never do that again, at least not in this establishment.

A very compelling concept, with regional, vegetarian, and sustainable cuisine wherever possible. New and creative cocktails than before, during, and after. And above all: very, very, very delicious, great crew, and the friendliest service. Deserves a Michelin star rating... Update after switching from vegetarian to vegan: Everything as before: regional, sustainable, but now vegan. Still highly recommended!

We had a beautiful exquisite evening in this vegan haut cuisine restaurant. Accomodating my allergy they lived up to although not the easiest and gave me alternative choices. While in a menu it's nearly impossible to match individual taste in all courses I must say they did an excellent job. Overall there was only one dish I wouldn't order again and one I found a bit underspiced. Props for the signature dish, whicht swept me off my feet. We're definitely coming again.

Vegetarian cuisine at a top level 😋

Top brunch, good drinks, friendly team. Always my pleasure.

Went there for brunch, the food looked nice, but unfortunately it didn't taste very good and the price wasn't justified for me, to be honest. The employees are really nice and friendly and the place looks very nice. Unfortunately it is very, very loud and overstimulating.

There were three of us here for dinner and the food was really of excellent quality and lovingly put together. However, we had a bit of a problem with the service. The drinks took forever. We had the food (ordered the menu) before the drinks, which was kind of stupid. Somehow things didn't work out so well with our waiter (interpersonally) and we sometimes felt a little (unnecessarily) being picked on. What I really don't understand is the colorful shirts that all the employees wear, which somehow seems intentionally casual.

A truly unique experience where the symbiosis of table service and food quality are at a level of excellence.

Modern, young and friendly. Great vegan Eat

The brunch was very tasty, but the prices were exorbitantly high for sourdough bread with two eggs… That's one thing, the other was the service. We got water on the table (actually very nice and attentive), but we were then charged for it - which is completely fine if you were informed about it in advance - we weren't. The same with cow's milk. I was charged extra for this for my cappuccino. My cappuccino arrived spilled and spilled. The waitress looked at us, smiled and said it could happen (but it shouldn't if I pay €5.5 for a cappuccino). When I asked for a review, I sent a message to bonvivant and nicely described that I was honestly dissatisfied with the situation - I was answered "[...] that's hard to imagine [...] ". What do you want to tell me? I didn't want to write a public review, but I'm really outraged by such a response and the fact that I'm not believed.

Highly recommended. Fine, vegan cuisine, friendly and attentive staff in a relaxed atmosphere. A very clear recommendation for me!

I've never eaten vegan so well. Thank you very much for this great evening with an incredibly diverse presentation and delicious vegan food. The most delicious thing was the greeting from the kitchen and the Douglas fir. Great flavors and wonderful to look at. The drinks were also very tasty. Three small points: Because we are in the high-end area of ​​gastronomy, other things should still be perfected... - The water ran out at our table twice - In my opinion, high chairs are not suitable for sitting for four hours - please check the drain in the toilet As already mentioned, we are in the high-end area here and the four of us left almost 700 euros on the table that evening. But the food, the ambience and the service were worth every euro! 🔥 I would definitely come back if there were new menus! ☺️🙌

It was a perfect evening. The food and service, the drinks, the ambience… everything is just perfect!

A wonderful evening with great service. All 7 courses were great
