Nobelhart & Schmutzig in Berlin

I cried twice while eating, because they served the best version of Himmel&Erde and Tarte Tatin I've ever tasted.

Cheap products, well interpreted. The cost of goods sold at McDonald's is significantly higher. The restaurant is very well done – something different for a change. The waiter, or rather the owner, is incredibly rude. He's got the wrong door; he'd be better off at the police station next door. There, his customers have to do what he wants.

A little joke right at the start: the doorbell thing was unexpected for my friends and, combined with the photos of a bra in the shop window, caused some confusion about the establishment… The presentation of the double juniper liqueur from Hagen was/is a highlight – some people were really taken with it. The wine bottle suggestions were excellent! – Thank you for that. The price-performance ratio was very fair! Everyone loved the snacks! The pumpkin was a bit bland for some. The pierogi, on the other hand, received high praise. And the kale! THAT was the best dish. And they'd never even heard of your mashed potatoes! I thought they were practically world-famous! So, to paraphrase Pink Panther: I'll be back, no doubt about it!

I came to this restaurant during my first trip to Berlin in 2025. The staff was especially friendly and inviting. The menu had a well-welcomed variety and tasted amazing.

We pondered it for quite some time... in the end, the best description was: The Emperor's New Clothes! Very simple home cooking with a lot of fanfare, but ultimately just home cooking with a Michelin star. Add to that a "Berlin style" setting and service, and most unpleasantly: a series of rules and requests that you can only appreciate and understand if you've lived in Berlin for a very, very long time. Just in case: Dinner on November 28th, receipts etc. are available.

So, if you're looking for traditional French cuisine (Adlon or similar), this isn't the place for you. Here you'll find modern, exciting, regional, and unusual dishes. The food and staff are superb! A truly Berlin restaurant!

Beautiful location, attentive staff, allergies are spontaneously accommodated, and the schnitzel and drinks are absolutely delicious.

This is not just amazing food, but an experience to enjoy young, enthusiastic chefs that go into detail of every aspect of their culinary creations! The wine and drink recommendations are suggested to go with each course, and you can try a sip before you land on the perfect one. The non-spirit herb-infused creations were remarkable, as well. Be sure to request to sit at the open kitchen bar to watch the magic happen- we loved the concept.

Another fantastic evening at Nobelhart. From the moment we walked in, Billy and his team made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone seemed very passionate and did a great job. The food was exceptional and Billy’s wine pairing was spot on. Thanks again for this wonderful evening!

We had another fantastic evening at Nobelhart. The service was, as always, unbeatable, and the atmosphere was simply wonderful!

Yeah, right, folks. With all due respect to sustainability, the cost of materials, the culinary experience, and the wine pairing are completely disproportionate to the price. And the fact that the "sixth" course is served as a rushed encore is downright cheeky. All the best!

This evening was once again an extraordinary experience for me and my friends. Go and enjoy this atmosphere and the excellent menu. It's worth it!

For me, this is one of the most beautiful places in Berlin. The way pretty much everything is done is unique. You know beforehand that it's expensive. Unlike many other restaurants, though, here you also know where the money goes. The quality is incredibly good: the dishes, the glasses, the atmosphere, the service. It's perfect in its own special way.

Our visit to nobelhart & schmutzig was wonderful – starting with the delicious pork schnitzel with mashed potatoes, which was absolutely superb: wonderfully crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. A dish that demonstrates how much character can be found in honest, straightforward ingredients. A second highlight was the lamb pierogi with homemade dough. Tender, aromatic, and perfectly balanced – the filling intense yet elegant, the dough delicate but with a satisfying bite. Combined with celery and garlic. A wonderful example of how the team takes regional products and reinterprets them in their own unique style. The service was, as always, attentive, competent, and pleasantly unpretentious. The drink recommendations were perfect and rounded off the evening beautifully. A fantastic experience from beginning to end. We'll definitely be back.

The exclusively regional and predominantly organic approach is truly fantastic. The staff is friendly and clearly tries their best. Nevertheless, I wouldn't come back, as the price-performance ratio wasn't quite right for me. Yes, the staff, location, organic ingredients, etc., are incredibly expensive, I absolutely acknowledge that. However, for more than €200 per person including drinks, the menu wasn't high-quality enough for our individual tastes. It consisted mainly of well-seasoned, but ultimately very inexpensive vegetables (carrots, turnips, pumpkin) and a tiny meat main course with half an onion. I wouldn't recommend the open wine; we had a bottle that cost €100, but it was very good, and the wine list was truly superb. The wine pairing, on the other hand, would have cost €115 for four glasses per person, champagne €50 per glass, aperitifs around €20 for 1 cl, and so on… For me, the price/performance ratio just didn't quite add up. Furthermore, I'm not a fan of sitting next to each other at the bar. If I want to enjoy my meal, I prefer to have a table with a companion. But of course, that's entirely a matter of personal taste!

Left-wing and overpriced shops are getting their comeuppance.

Last night was our first time at Nobelhart & Schmutzig – and certainly not our last. Our goal was clear: the legendary pork schnitzel. The moment we stepped inside, we felt the wonderfully relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. No stuffy fine dining here, but a place where you can simply unwind. We opted for the cold cuts, the pork schnitzel, and a small selection of desserts – and every single dish was absolutely top-notch. The schnitzel was probably the most delicious we've ever eaten: perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, and simply an experience. Yes, it definitely boosted our appetites a bit, but that was a conscious decision for self-care that evening – pure indulgence. The service was superb: friendly, attentive, yet pleasantly relaxed. The drinks pairings were also perfect and rounded off the evening harmoniously. We felt completely at peace the entire time – simply in the moment, simply happy. The schnitzel was probably the most delicious we've ever had. Anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience that combines enjoyment, authenticity, and a relaxed atmosphere shouldn't miss this place. Highly recommended.

Always a pleasure – very attentive service, great dishes with a particularly good feeling about the origin of the products. Everything is exemplary!

The food is good, but the wine is bloody expensive. We took an additional course (€35) and had to pay €110 for 2 glasses of wine. We already had a pairing wine arrangement but where not told that this glass was far more expensive than all the other ones. Take the €135 menu and drink water.

The food was fantastic, as was the wine. The chef's pretentiousness, who just wandered around and wasn't even bothered with his food, was completely out of proportion. He was arguing with his staff. Chef: shed some of your ego and be truly modern, instead of filling social media and acting like you used to... walk the talk!

Wonderful experience, thank you so much for the exceptional food, the pleasant atmosphere, and the excellent service! However, the lack of transparency regarding the wine prices per glass means that a repeat visit is unlikely anytime soon.

Excellent wine selection and perfect recommendations, amazing food, thanks for the evening! 🪄🚀

Phenomenal meal. All dishes were thoughtfully prepared without being too pretentious/over the top. Add on the drink pairing, and you get a perfect meal. Service was excellent.

The care for detail in the food and the service was outstanding! Definitely would recommend to everyone back in Copenhagen

We're giving this place only one star, and that's not to be confused with a Michelin star. (We know what those are.) We got a table at short notice after calling ahead. It was opposite the bar and by the record player, but right next to a solo diner already sitting there, even though there were at least eight more free seats along the entire length of the bar. A seat's distance would have been easily possible and sensible. But more on that later. To start, we asked for a glass of champagne, which they serve by the glass. No problem, we were offered a very good one ("with all seven grapes"). We found the drinks menu a bit suspicious from the outset, especially since €110 for four 0.1-liter drinks, including one beer and one cider, was quite steep. So we opted for a bottle of champagne (one we knew from the southern Champagne region) for €130. This was served, but the staff gave the impression that we'd only made a mediocre choice. . , ... The bread course with long-fermented butter was intriguing and good. This was followed by two salads (radicchio and herb), one with beetroot dressing. We were encouraged to eat with our fingers (“an experience…”, questionable). A spaghetti squash with duck jus and coriander seeds was quite interesting, especially the coriander, but the fact that the producers and perhaps even the squash field are personally known doesn't automatically make it Michelin-starred cuisine. An ambitious home cook could achieve that. Similarly, the smoked mashed potatoes with undeniably delicious onions and wild apples were good, but not sophisticated. The meat course was very good. The duck breast and the small piece of leg were perfect, not rubbery at all, and harmonized beautifully with the plum compote with fermented chili. So much for the average meal. To finish, we declined the (offered) schnapps and opted for another glass of the house champagne. (A bottle on the menu costs €180). The guest right next to us had gotten up five times, made about four loud phone calls, and sent/read numerous text messages. He even handed his phone to a server to charge it, without receiving any explanation of the house rules. So much for the "no phone" policy… (As it turned out later, he was a high-spending regular, so they're not so strict with him.) A word about the bill: the food was absolutely overpriced, but at €140 it was just about acceptable, though far from Michelin-star quality. And what did the open glass of champagne cost? €50! So, €200 for four 0.1-liter glasses of a €180 bottle served by the glass. Overall disappointing, and not just for that reason. First time and last time! What a shame.

We were here for the second time and were absolutely thrilled again! You can feel the passion of everyone at Nobelhart! The food, service, wine pairing, and overall experience were 10/10 for us. Highly recommended.

Overrated and overpriced. It’s more a theater show than Michelin star dining.

The community is a fantastic, diverse team where everyone seems to know what they're doing. The ingredients are exceptionally good, and what they create is equally as amazing.

I appreciated the attention to local and seasonal products and I also understand that October isn’t the best month in Germany to get a wider variety of ingredients. Ours was a journey through relatively bland, simple dishes, with minimal elaboration. Particularly disappointing was the vegetarian main, especially in comparison to the duck in the standard menu. It amounted to two variations of kale, one grilled one raw, where creativity and substance were kept to a bare minimum. Our highlights were the porcini (which we decided to order extra) and the quince-based dessert. The rest was easily forgettable and actually it’s already forgotten. All in all the price of the menu is not commensurate with such a simple (yet high quality) offer. We loved the wine list, the service, the setting

An incredible experience! We'd love to come back. ❤️

Wonderful evening. Great concept – honest, regional, "brutally local." Our sommelier Greta took excellent care of us. Greetings from the Rhineland.

A conceited, overly sophisticated shop. Everything is completely over-the-top, far too expensive, and the taste isn't great. Better off going to Tim Raue around the corner – everything there is top-notch.

We had a wonderful evening. Cheerful, relaxed, and attentive service. Great food. The endless selection of drinks would have overwhelmed us, but we received perfect advice. A big thank you to the entire team.

Cheap ingredients although claim to be organic. 5 courses meal but bread is considered one course. And smashed potatoes is one course. And main course is tiny. Wine recommended was expensive. Overall doesn’t live up with the one star expectations. Not value for money.

Because waiters and waitresses should receive a fair wage even without tips.

We loved the ambiance in the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the kombucha was amazing. We'd love to come back.

We had a wonderful evening with excellent and sometimes surprising courses and an exciting selection of drinks. All the staff were very friendly and competent.

Because tips are always just a nice gesture from the customer! Not a means to an end.

The welcome was friendly, and the seat at the bar with a view of the kitchen and the open concept were a great start. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill after that. The menu prices are ambitious, and while the food is good, it's not up to the standard you'd expect. The portions are rather small, just filling, and some dishes arrived lukewarm to barely warm. This is especially noticeable in a multi-course meal. The wine pairing was one of the biggest disappointments for us. For a three-figure sum, you get two glasses of wine, a beer, and a cider, which seems completely disproportionate to the price. Anyone who opts out or asks about prices is drawn into an unpleasant discussion, as if they were questioning the integrity of the establishment. Transparent pricing information regarding the range of bottles is completely lacking, and wine recommendations are poured without being asked. The final bill included dessert wine (0.1 l) for €40 and a schnapps for €35. The atmosphere is mixed: the seating area and the view are truly beautiful, but the music is sometimes so loud that it's difficult to have a normal conversation. The service varies greatly; some employees seem very professional, while others seem more like they're just starting their week. The absolute low point, however, was the handling of a broken glass. Despite a bill of €1,000, we were charged extra for the broken glass. Instead of being accommodating, they simply stubbornly added a fee. This doesn't fit with what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber; in fine dining, a certain degree of generosity is considered good manners. The bottom line is a mixed impression: a nice start, solid cuisine, but no "wow" factor, coupled with questionable pricing and discordant service. For a Michelin-starred restaurant that promises a special evening, this was overall disappointing.

The restaurant makes a great impression at first glance: lovely ambiance, good service, and the food was truly delicious. Unfortunately, the overall package doesn't match the prices. The wine pairing is completely overpriced. It was particularly disappointing that a broken glass was charged without even mentioning it. In a restaurant of this caliber, you expect goodwill rather than pettiness. So, despite the good food, there's a bitter aftertaste. For me, that's not enough to make me come back.

We came with an open mind and left thrilled. A unique evening. We don't understand the negative reviews. Toasting a glass with an obviously delicate glass is, who would have thought, a bad idea? Maybe we should just avoid it. We were also very surprised by the comments regarding the price, which we still consider very competitive, if not comparatively cheap. So, here's a piece of advice: If you're not up to it, or are traveling with a hole in your pocket or stomach, there's no shame in looking elsewhere. Billy Wagner and his crew treated us excellently and won't have seen the last of us ;) Best regards!

Steve is the best sommelier I ever encountered and Billy is just an amazing character, thanks for the beautiful evening guys!

We went here for our wedding anniversary on Saturday evening. Billy and the team are lovely- there’s a contagious passion for the place that all the staff have. The food was delicious- the flavour in the sauces was immense. Would highly recommend. The menu is fixed so I can see how fussy eaters may have an issue but I would recommend that you let the team guide you and be open to try the seasonal and local food. Just make sure you skip lunch before going. :-)

I have to say upfront that I was surprised by the many rather negative reviews. That's rare in the Michelin-starred restaurant sector... I really wanted to form my own opinion. And lo and behold, I can relate to all of them. After a wonderful welcome, we took a seat at the long bar with a clear view of the kitchen. Absolutely fantastic! The first disappointment came when I looked at the menu: 4 courses for €140, that's quite a statement. The food was good, but lacks the wow factor of a Michelin-starred restaurant. I can make smoked mashed potatoes with apple even in the Thermomix. I can also make bread with butter, tomatoes, and peppers as a starter at home. Only the duck as the main course was really great. Because we were still hungry, we also ordered the chanterelle mushrooms; this brought the menu price up to almost €180. And that's despite the note on the menu that four courses are enough to fill you up. I should have eaten more bread... The advertised wine pairing is an absolute, truly absolute outrage. It consists of two wines, one beer, and one cider. For €120! If you then consciously decide against it, you're immediately given a strange look. Wine recommendations are then simply advertised without giving a price classification. So I don't know whether the bottle will cost €80 or €200. If you then ask about the prices, you immediately get drawn into a discussion about whether the innkeeper is trying to cheat you; very, very unpleasant for the guest. Up to now, I would actually give it a solid 4/5 stars. But they really took the cake with something else: the calculated glass breakage! One of the very delicate glasses shattered when clinking glasses together. Whether this was the guest's fault or whether the glass had perhaps already been subjected to wear and tear, no one can say. But then charging for the wine again, plus a €30 glass breakage fee, is truly outrageous. We were left speechless. For me, Michelin-starred dining is always associated with generosity. I'm generous with my orders and tips, but I also expect generosity from the host. To then impose a penalty for broken glasses on a guest who has paid over €300 for five courses is almost audacious. This leaves a guest after a good meal, punished like a schoolchild, and sent home. An absolute no-go. Despite an initially positive experience, we won't be seeing the restaurant again. And of course, we won't be recommending it to anyone.

There seems to be only love or hate in the reviews here. I found it a pleasant experience, but one I wouldn't necessarily repeat. The food is relatively simple, even a bit over the top in terms of the service monologues (among other things, they explained to us that it was a bad year for tomatoes near Berlin. What nonsense, the tomatoes in Grandpa's garden near Berlin hardly ever grow well), and overall too expensive. On the plus side, in addition to the interesting ambiance, there's a great wine list, which actually includes some fairly priced gems. Just avoid the wine by the glass. 5cl Banyuls, where a 0.7l bottle costs around €50 - €17 😂😂😂

Overall pleasant meal, no phones & cameras allowed but they gave me some books to read which I appreciated. Energetic staff and food was varied.

Perhaps the best restaurant in Berlin

This has been one of the worst service I’ve ever experienced from any fine dining, and I’m very experienced. First off I arrived at 6pm, but was ignored to almost 6.30pm. Other guests who arrived after me got their first and second dishes even before I do. The amount of effort the staff put in to ignore me, while catering to other “non asian” customers is upsetting. Second, during second and third dish the staff/chefs who brought the dishes over just smile, attempted at explaining but when they can’t think of the word in English they just walked off. Didn’t even ask for other staff who can speak English to attend me instead of them. This is beyond rude. Thirdly, when i asked for a wine or drink to accompany me on my third dish, the sommelier poured me a drink and walked away. Tasting the drink I find the flavour to be confusing even what the third dish could be. Yet no one ever comes back to me to ask if I want the drink or not until a guy staff walked over around 15 mins later. I asked if this pairing was intended for the third dish, to which he said no this is to be paired with the second. It wouldn’t work with the third dish. Yet it was your sommelier who brought this pairing over for me. Even the staff don’t know what to do and their comments crashed one another. While I’m still waiting for my third dish, the guy next to me who came almost half an hour after me just about to finish his 4th dish. The worst experience to be deliberately ignored. Lastly, when I’m to leave I was completely ignored by the staff in getting my coat. I was left standing at the front door for so long despite the staff telling me they are coming. My entire night I feel like I have been racially under serviced while non-asian customers around me have all received a better service. For a restaurant with this level of accolades this is highly disappointing.

A Masterclass in How Not to Do Fine Dining This was the first time I’ve ever walked out halfway through a dinner. What was billed as “fine dining” felt more like a parody of it: courses arrived bland, unimaginative, and utterly lacking in flavor. Photography is strictly forbidden—a rule that suddenly makes sense once you see the plates. If pictures of this food circulated, I doubt anyone would book a table. Service was polite, but no amount of courtesy could rescue such an uninspired meal. Fine dining should excite the senses. Here, it only drained our patience and our appetite. We left early and never looked back.

The food, service and atmosphere were all great, creating a wonderful dining experience. Each course was presented in an artistic manner along with an easily understood explanation about the food and how it was prepared. Everything was delicious with the pierogi, the chicken and the deserts being outstanding! Bravo!

Rarely has a restaurant visit given me so much food for thought. That's a very positive thing to begin with. Nevertheless, my evening at N&Schmutzig left me with mixed feelings, more negative than positive. Yes, the restaurant is an experience. The decor, service, atmosphere, and concept are very special. The food itself is good, but doesn't leave a wow impression. Water is free, for very good reason. But is the message of this political restaurant really that "Brutal Lokal" = chicken from Hamburg? That wine can be excluded from this because a 0.1 glass can cost €20-30 (or even €50-60...!) and Brandenburg wine is too arbitrary? That regional cuisine with 4.5 courses (because I wouldn't call bread at the beginning and a Rauswerferkuchen (= provisions) a course) for €120 per person, excluding drinks, can only be afforded by the absolute upper class? I'm sorry. That doesn't add up. The concept seems more like this: we're looking for a platform that makes a very special wine bar accessible to more people, thereby generating revenue across a wider area. Strictly speaking, this is capitalism in its purest form, which is actually indirectly and massively denounced by many of the menu's wording... Conclusion: You can try it once, but I definitely won't be coming back. The evening, costing €300-500 (for two people, depending on the wine consumed), is unfortunately absolutely not good value for money, even when I factor in the Berlin factor.

We had a great evening and are already looking forward to the next time.

This was a gem after a week of trying German food that’s didn’t really suit us. The service was friendly and the staff was perfect. Super knowledgeable and inviting. It has a speakeasy vibe and you are not allowed to take pictures so make sure you are mindful of that. The plates were delicious…however, for some it might not be worth the cost. We spent almost $800 euros but i could definitely say it was one of the best meals I’ve had. Simple but tasty. Dishes were small as they have a pre-set menu but you will like some, and you will hate others. They are German dishes which is what I loved the most since had not tasted a good German dish until then. The atmosphere is quiet, private and very trendy. You can watch the chef’s cooking and the wines are a plus +++

It was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had. Their non-alcoholic beverages were the best I’ve ever had. The staff was friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. Watching the kitchen ballet their way to create the food was incredible to witness. The subtle layering of flavors, explode in your mouth. We flew all the way from Canada and we don’t regret it. 10/10. No notes.

Anyone who rings the bell is ushered into a rather dark, noisy restaurant with a long counter overlooking a rather hectic kitchen. The food is grain-focused (rye, barley, spelt on my visit), but quite acceptable; the piglet was absolutely perfect! Regional produce is given a strong emphasis. €135 for the meal is okay, but the wine pairing, very Savoy-oriented, at €120 is definitely too expensive. With a glass of sparkling wine and coffee, the evening came to €284 for one person. Conclusion: You can do this every 12-18 months or so. I'd put the restaurant on the same level as the sadly soon-to-be-closing Tante Fichte, but definitely below Skykitchen.

Some restaurants really take on the personality of their owners and this is certainly one of those places. I had the pleasure of dining here 3 times. Twice in April 2025 and once in June 2025. All 3 dinners were memorable. The service and hospitality are exceptional. The wine list is a 200 page book that even the most experienced wine connoisseur will find stuff they have never drank. The food is all sourced from the region around Berlin. No lemon, pepper, olive oil, blue fin, Japanese Wagyu etc. eclectic Records play on a turntable at the bar. You can’t take pictures of the food but you can take photos of the records and the wine. I highly recommend coming for the experience. The wine bottles posted are from two separate dinners.

I came all the way here just to eat some healthy food... and it was burdensome to keep offering alcohol along with a long explanation.

An exciting concept with regional ingredients. A truly unique experience.

Location: The far end of Friedrichstraße, directly at the "Kochstraße" subway exit. Less than a hundred meters behind the famous "Checkpoint Charlie." An unpretentious building; at first glance, nothing suggests the existence of a restaurant, which is clearly part of the atmosphere. A friendly welcome. The ambiance: Pleasantly dim lighting in a single room, where you sit with all the guests at a U-shaped bar. In the center, the kitchen workers are busy. Yes, that makes a noise. You sit on hard bar stools, which, thanks to the (occasionally available) fur cushions, make you sit a little longer. Adequate, but uncomfortable. The movements of the service and kitchen staff do not provide much inner peace, as they draw attention to themselves rather than to the "plate as the star." This also allows you to witness the sommelier tasting wine and regularly pouring it into the spout. Not to our taste. An employee in street clothes and carrying a backpack also trudges through the middle of the kitchen. Irritating. Aesthetics: Pretty, very coarse stone plates, pearwood butter knives (a pleasure to the touch), and a long, beautiful wooden counter. Good lighting for the dishes, which is often different. Restrooms: Even the soap has its own calling card. ;). Food: 6 courses for 120 euros each per person. Overall, of very good quality, without needing to describe them in detail here. We would have preferred the presentation on the plate to be a little less austere. A piece of meat with a dollop of sauce next to it. Aha, you could call that purist. Apart from the dessert, we missed the taste "wow" moments you expect at this level. Drinks: Good, non-alcoholic alternatives as a discovery. Staff: Committed with plenty of background information about producers and ingredients. We had to laugh when a young chef explained to us that the pig wasn't slaughtered on request, but rather that it was slaughtered based on demand. We then suggested that it would probably have to die naturally first. This could be considered a sustainability tip, but keep in mind that the guest inevitably imagines an old animal on their plate. The sommelier (Steve): actually the most unpleasant part of the evening. There's no question about it, the man is knowledgeable. But as a guest, I was reprimanded for not being specific enough about my taste preferences. Overall, the staff was very (professionally) friendly. Farewell: A very nice gesture: a small donut with filling for the journey home. Conclusion: High-quality food. Overall experience: unusual, but not necessarily worth repeating.

I had an all-around wonderful and relaxed evening. The restaurant creates a very sophisticated yet very relaxed atmosphere. I can only recommend it and would be happy to come back. Many thanks to the entire team.

The food was delicious, and well thought out. Service was great and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate about what they do. I also really loved the ambiance and music from their vast record collection. My only gripe is that after service, they let people smoke in the dining area, which is basically a big bar top around the kitchen, so there was no escaping it. I expect that at many bars in Berlin, but at a fine dining establishment with a Michelin star, cigarette smoke is the last thing patrons should smell. But otherwise, I recommend a visit.

The service and food were excellent; you're well informed about each course and the origin of the ingredients. The beautiful glasses alone are worth a visit! The only criticism is the music; for me, it was personally exhausting.

A beautiful, original experience that extends from the setting to the plate, from the music to the ingredients. We enjoyed a delicious wine pairing. This is a bit like how we imagined inventive cuisine in Berlin. Plan a budget that matches the excitement!

A truly special dining experience that inspired my imagination, my palette and my appetite. Kudos to the staff for their breath of knowledge and their efforts to make my experience complete.

Es war wie immer ein phantastischer Abend in einer lockeren und unkonventionellen Atmosphäre mit wunderbarem Essen, ausgewählten und besonderen Produkten und tollem Wein

The cuisine and service are both straightforward and competent. Great art is offered, and it's a joy to dine in a pleasant atmosphere and have questions answered in detail despite the hectic pace. This wasn't our first visit and won't be our last. Thanks to the entire team!

A very nice evening. Excellent food. Good service.

Awesome evening. Excellent food, imaginative and new. Great wine and service.

Wir gehen gerne gut essen und haben dabei schon einige herbe Enttäuschungen in allen Preisklassen erlebt. Das hakt man normalerweise ab. Bei Nobelhart gelingt mir das nicht, denn noch nie habe ich mich so verarscht gefühlt wie dort. Die Diskrepanz zwischen den nicht besonders kreativ zubereiteten und präsentierten guten Produkten und der arroganten Attitüde, mit der man durch den Abend begleitet wird, war einfach zu groß. Das Marketing ist sehr offensiv. So wird behauptet ein politisches Restaurant mit einem einzigartigen Konzept zu sein und schon deshalb zu den Guten zu gehören. Wer nicht begeistert ist, wem die unbestritten sehr guten Produkte zu einfach, zu langweilig zubereitet und präsentiert sind, wem die Menüfolge zu einfallslos ist, wer im Nobelhart keine Küchenleistung sieht die einen Michelinstern verdient hätte oder gar die Aufnahme in eine Liste der 50 besten Restaurants der Welt für völlig absurd hält, versteht das Konzept nicht und kann deshalb auch kein Guter sein. Wie war das im Märchen „Des Kaisers neue Kleider? Nur intelligente Menschen konnten die nicht vorhandenen Kleider sehen. Auch das umfangreiche Storytelling gehört zum offensiven Marketing. Man wird mit rührseligen Geschichten voll gequatscht um von den kleinen Portionen und der meist völligen Belanglosigkeit der Zubereitung abzulenken. Schon aus Respekt vor der apfelbäckigen, alleinerziehenden Bäuerin die bei Mondschein diese Radieschen aus der biodynamischen Erde gezogen hat, damit Nobelhart sie nun, bestreut mit ein paar Krümel, seinen hoffentlich ehrfürchtig lauschenden Jüngern kredenzen kann, wird man doch nicht fragen, ob der überschaubare Teller das zu spät gebrachte Amuse-Gueule, eine vorab gelieferte Beilage oder doch, wie vom „Küchengott“ behauptet, ein Gang ist. Eine enttäuschte Rezensentin schrieb: lest einfach vorher die Speisekarte. Ich empfehle dazu die Rezensionen aufmerksam zu lesen. Schnell stellt man fest, es gibt absolute Begeisterung, meist pauschal und ohne zu benennen welches Gericht und welche kreative Küchenleistung tatsächlich begeistert hat (nach einigen heftigen Kritiken viermal alleine in den letzten 2 Wochen) und auffällig viel Kritik. Diese wiederum mit genauer Beschreibung, was, wie, warum nicht gefallen hat. Bei letzteren kann man sich sicher sein, das genau dieses Restaurant von echten Gästen aus eigenen Antrieb beschrieben wurde.

Wir hatten einen gelungenen Abend in einem außergewöhnlichen Restaurant. Die Qualität der Speisen und der tolle Service waren den Preisen angemessen.

Lugar increíble. Vale la pena visitarlo si estás en Berlín. Merece cada premio y reconocimiento que ha recibido. El personal fue claramente muy apasionado e informativo. Ningún curso era un caos y no había dos que fueran remotamente similares. El ambiente y la onda que desprenden es perfecta para relajarse.

I was really looking forward to this visit, which I had been planning for a long time! It is a great experience and adventure if you enjoy wine, with an unexpected selection that overwhelmed me even beforehand! I was very grateful for the wine pairing with the menu, which I can only recommend to everyone, as this is the only way you can get served wines that you would otherwise never drink or choose! So this is the place to be in the “colorful” world that Berlin is known for - fantastic 👍 We also really liked the general attitude towards food, everyone here is up to date and knows the suppliers, and the explanation of the homemade butter and its degree of ripeness alone was a perfect introduction - one would only wish for more restaurants to offer this, or even guests who appreciate what is done here!

We had a wonderful evening with regional snacks and a nice bottle of white wine. All made with regional, organic ingredients from producers who have been working with the restaurant for a long time. The staff explained everything perfectly. They also gave excellent advice on the wine. We then had two delicious courses and a superb dessert. Highly recommended; we'll definitely return on our next visit to Berlin to try the menu. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Desde la gran bienvenida, hasta las historias y antecedentes sobre los platos y las bebidas de todo el equipo, no podríamos haber tenido un mejor ambiente en el que disfrutar de esta muestra de ingredientes locales. Apreciamos plenamente la misión del restaurante y disfrutamos cada plato. ¿Lo recomendaría a un amigo? ¡Ya lo tengo!

Delicious meals, professional team, extremely big variety of wines. Mysterious atmosphere, Berlin vibe, sophisticated and different! We had a WOW experience! Thank you x

As a Michelin-starred restaurant, you expect a different level. The main course was tasty, but unfortunately, it consisted almost entirely of gristle and fat. The kitchen team was yelled at by the manager in front of the guests. The kitchen team was very nice and accommodating, but the service showed no interest in the guests or their time. The wine wasn't served with the courses. It was purely a matter of passing the time. When we asked if they still had a star, the answer was: "Yes, we don't want 2 or 3 stars." We had to restrain ourselves from laughing. By the way, the main course wasn't replaced, and there was no alternative on the house. Addendum: What's also sad is that when I read the other comments here with the same rating, I see that the restaurant hasn't responded... absolutely not worth a Michelin star.

There were four of us there, and with a final bill of €2,000, you'd think it could only be wow; unfortunately, it wasn't at all. The menu (€250 per person) – created in collaboration with the Italian guest restaurant Trippa – was advertised with great hype and was disappointing both in terms of taste and ideas. The sommelier, Billy, is a good wine connoisseur and "salesman." Unfortunately, one server was very snooty, and the others were friendly but somewhat clueless. We unfortunately cannot recommend this restaurant! The men's restrooms were dirty, and the urinals were locked... In every Michelin-starred restaurant, the waiters are happy to take photos with guests; here, photography was even prohibited...

Simply wonderful. Billy Wagner and his team are outstanding hosts. The restaurant offers outstanding culinary quality. Regional, seasonal, and without much fanfare. I've been there twice now and look forward to the next visit. The wine list alone is worth a visit.

"Don't go" was the advice given to us by 2 Chefs we met in Bangkok from Berlin. Unfortunately we did not listen. The 6 Course Menu was actually a 4 Course. The 1st & 2nd courses were amuse bouche & bread which were usually complimentary in most high-end restaurants. When I did not eat the 2 out of 3 radishes on the 3rd course, I was asked if I did not like it. When I politely answered I wasn't a big eater, the server suggested to serve me smaller portion, which I declined. The 4th course was a calf-meat-ravioli with really thick outer skin. The 5th (main) course was pork belly with supposedly crispy skin which was not crispy. The last desert was strawberry tart with strawberry ice-cream. Overall, taste of food was mediocre. The Owner-Chef was doing nothing but walking around focusing on serving drinks, which obviously earned him more money much easily than the food. Wine-pairing was 120 per person, with really small portion being served. When my hubby did not like the red wine being served, the sommelier served him another more classic wine. At the end, another 12 was being charged, either on the first glass of tiny portion being served for him to taste, or to the tiny portion she added to his glass realizing he hasn't finished his main with no wine left in his glass. When we left the restaurant, we were asked not to leave at the door, together with another couple already waiting. We were each offered a strawberry bun. This is the 1st time we were offered a parting gift with no packaging. It was really ambarrassing to carry a strawberry bun with a napkin to walk on the street. Of the restaurants we visited during the last 3 weeks, this one unfortunately ranked the lowest. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

Respect the approach to food - local, clean and simple. The staff were great. The wine pairing was enjoyable. But the whole experience was a lot of fun, worth it for a celebration meal.

An unusual place where photos are prohibited. You have to ring the doorbell to enter the restaurant, which is invisible from the street. The menu showcases local products from eastern Germany. Many of the produce is very fresh from the market garden; the strawberry dessert was also a success. The restaurant boasts the "non-intensive" methods of their producers, such as slow-growing asparagus without plastic sheeting. They make their own butter and cream. You eat at a U-shaped counter in front of the team who cook and serve. A sommelier offers good advice.

We waited outside the locked door where two other parties had gathered. Five minutes passed. Everyone looked a bit confused. Someone discovered a doorbell and rang it—there was no mention of a doorbell in the reservation email. A host emerged. She invited a party of two inside, asked everyone else to wait outside. We waited. More parties arrived and waited with us. Ten minutes later, someone rang the doorbell again. The host returned, looking almost surprised to find us there at all. "Plenty of open seats," she announced, and waved us all inside. Except for a long table at the back, everything is counter seating, arranged in a U-shape around an open kitchen. Only two people sat at the otherwise empty counter. Given the open seating and our newly abandoned host, we chose our own seats. A woman from behind the counter watched us as we settled. "Do you have a reservation?" she asked quickly and sternly. We did. "You have assigned seats." We moved to our assigned seats. The food was unremarkable and unfulfilling, improved only slightly by practiced stories of the ingredient origins (hyperlocal). The wine pours were unmeasured and ungenerous. The service and pacing was uneven. Near the bottom of the menu, a saffron bun is listed as a "parting gift." We expected something to anticipate, a treat to take home and enjoy later that evening or the next morning. Something like the jars of granola gifted at Eleven Madison. Instead, they handed us a small bun on a napkin at the door. It's not clear why the bun is a "parting gift" instead of simply a part of the meal, as if we might enjoy it more while walking. My best guess is they expect photos of the bun shared on social media, which is only possible outside given the restaurant's strict no phone policy. Unfortunately for them, we finished our three-and-a-half-hour service hungry and ate the bun before we could post.

A place that doesn't need a recommendation, simply awesome, the food is sometimes almost perversely good.

Worst restaurant we have ever been to. This place is a disgrace. We left still starving and didn’t enjoy anything on the menu. Don’t be fooled by this place. They gave us the smallest piece of chicken I’ve had in my life. Horrible experience.

loved the concept of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, including happy meat and fresh herbs and flowers direct from the forest. seating at the bar was lovely with plenty of space facing the open kitchen. i was delighted by the quince juice with hay - a nonalcoholic drink option. overall a play on fine dining that i appreciated, although i didn’t think there was enough food or depth of flavour for the €140 per head price tag. it was gift for me so im grateful, but i wouldn’t pay for this myself :)

"Nobelhart & Schmutzig": A Disappointing Dissonance of Hospitality A visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant promises an experience that goes beyond mere dining – an expectation that "Nobelhart & Schmutzig" unfortunately failed to fulfill. The supposed avant-garde of the establishment was overshadowed by the uncouth presence of the owner, whose behavior exceeded the bounds of hospitality. The climax of this disconcerting experience was a trivial mishap: A broken glass was not recorded as a service gesture but was billed to me. This act revealed a purely economic perspective on the guest's part, which is in stark contrast to the standards of an establishment that operates at a high culinary level. Charging for a broken glass is a faux pas. It demonstrated that the "dirty" of the interaction tarnished the "nobleness" of the culinary offerings. Respect and courtesy are sorely lacking. You feel a bit cheated when you're asked to pay such a high price for mashed potatoes, asparagus, other vegetables, and two small pieces of meat served with only a few side dishes and simple ingredients. It seems like the restaurant is taking advantage of the enormous hype and exclusive atmosphere to offer a rather modest product at a disproportionately high price. Thanks, Billy, unfortunately, you "brutally" ruined our evening!

We arrived a little intimidated, as there were some rather strong negative reviews here and there. However, we received a very warm welcome, and from the very beginning, the service was incredibly attentive, meeting us exactly where we were. The non-alcoholic wine pairing was accepted without a qualm and proved to be an excellent choice! The food was pared down and thus focused on the product. Incredibly good, precise work, where no component would have been useless. Besides the guinea fowl and pork neck, our highlights were the mashed potatoes with smoked butter and the woodruff ice cream. The diverse personalities of the service staff ensured variety and an overall well-rounded experience. Great music, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and fantastic food.

So good, The things they do with spinach should be illegal!

I felt very comfortable! The food and service were better than expected! We'll see you again – but with wine pairing ;) Be sure to ask for a recommendation for a drink to go with the courses – it was great :)

A culinary experience of the highest caliber! "Nobelhart & Schmutz" is much more than a restaurant – it's a fully staged culinary journey with character. From the very beginning, it's clear: passion and a radically consistent concept lie behind it. The atmosphere is unique – urban, minimalist, and yet warm – and this is also reflected in the service: personal, highly professional, and never pretentious. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional wine expertise, coupled with precise, honest advice from the entire team. Each course is not only perfectly accompanied, but downright curated – coordination here becomes an art. One note: Photos are not permitted, which I greatly appreciate – the focus is entirely on the moment, the taste, the experience. Yes, the price is high – but every euro is absolutely justified by the quality, the ambience, and the thoughtful presentation. A must for gourmets.

Don't go Hungry! You will want a McDonald's after .

We were enchanted here yesterday. It was an extraordinary experience. The service, the exquisite food, the decor, the music (record player!)... everything was thoughtful, local, exceptional, and presented with stories. Even the non-alcoholic drinks blew us away with completely new taste experiences. We're still reeling.

The restaurant lived up to the hype and reputation. Ambience and service were tops. I love the concept of only using seasonal German ingredients from nearby regions. Well presented and each dish was explained to us. Some dishes were clean and light, others were rich and complex. German food with the best ingredients done beautifully.

Used to be nice, but that has changed.

the whole course is based on animal exploitation. Chefs are not even able to create somethink without milk - very basic and nothing special.

As I recently learned, vegan dishes have apparently been banned from the menu on the grounds that one cannot cook properly without animal products. It's a real shame about what was once a popular, safe place to eat in Berlin. But that statement (which, incidentally, doesn't exactly speak for creativity in the kitchen) has put a stop to any future visits. I can only marvel at such regressions to the dark ages.

The dining experience was extremely disappointing. When the main courses proved unpalatable and we couldn't eat it, the staff's response was shocking. Rather than offering a replacement dish with courtesy, our waiter was outright rude—scolding us and suggesting we "should have known their menu in advance and let them know in advance if we wouldn’t like something." He flatly refused to provide any alternative options, and just took our plates. What should have been an enjoyable evening ended with me leaving hungry, irritated, and burdened with a €500 bill.

Not for vegans! Unfriendly staff – absolutely not recommended.

I loved being here. Now that they've stopped serving vegan food, there's no reason to go anymore. The apparent reason isn't convincing either.

Zum Geburtstag haben wir uns einen Abend im Nobelhart & Schmutzig gegönnt – und es war die perfekte Entscheidung. Statt klassischem Fine Dining erwartet einen hier eine durchdachte, radikal regionale Küche, bei der das Produkt im Mittelpunkt steht. Jeder Gang war ein Erlebnis für sich – kreativ, geschmacklich auf den Punkt und perfekt begleitet, auch alkoholfrei. Der Service war herzlich, humorvoll und professionell. Besonders berührend: Das Team hat den Geburtstag auf charmante, unaufdringliche Weise gewürdigt – sehr stilvoll und persönlich. Ein besonderer Abend, der jeden Cent wert war. Wer in Berlin etwas wirklich Einzigartiges erleben will, sollte sich diesen Platz am Tresen nicht entgehen lassen.
