Nobelhart & Schmutzig in Berlin

This was an incredible experience. The food was so delicious, local. The service was also great, with nice recommendations and explanations. Quite expensive, but looking forward to going back. It’s an open kitchen concept which makes it a really nice atmosphere. They don’t allow photos in the restaurant so unfortunately I can’t post.

Interesting concept, inspiring to see how simple local ingredients can make delicious food😊

Great food, excellent wine list. Really enjoyed our evening there.

Hot air when it comes to the food. No pepper (because it doesn't grow in Berlin) but coffee and wine from many other countries... In order to leave without feeling hungry, (very tasty) bread is put on the table for the entire meal, because with the minimal, very simple portions you really won't make it. Drinks list is impressive, atmosphere is fine, service good. Obviously very good at marketing and creating a cult.

All dishes are prepared with locally sourced ingredients. My favorite was the apple bread pudding with cream yogurt. The service was warm and courteous. <3

excellence for those who are satisfied. Very expensive, without personality other than the passion with which the staff tries to sell hot air. Banal dishes that could be served in any decent cuisine buffet but at costs beyond any reasonable request. Maybe it's fine for the Germans, but we in Italy are used to a much different level. The service is generally hasty and rude (they slam your bill on the table), making it clear that you have to leave. For a bill of 330 euros for two people, never again.

Delicious food, matching wine accompaniment, great service. Thank you for the successful evening

A great atmosphere! We were very excited about the snack and dessert!

Unfortunately, the food is only very good. Not a single dish blew me away which is my criteria for these kind of prices. I admire what they are doing but they need at least one banger. Wine choice is excellent but it must be where all their margins are. Beautiful space and concept.

Not worth the hype. The staff treated my friend poorly and the food wasn’t that great for the status of this restaurant. It’s unfortunate but I wouldn’t recommend. Very underwhelming.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my visit today. I would have expected more for €650 (two people including wine accompaniment). Uncomfortably loud music, so I could hardly understand the person I was talking to. We were given a pack of condoms with the bill. My father accompanied me. Very uncomfortable.

A wonderfully pleasant ambience, a wealth of ideas, exquisite cuisine, great craftsmanship at its best, taste experiences, a great wine and, last but not least, fantastic service make the evening unforgettable. THANKS

Do not waste your money the food is very disappointing.

The Nobelhart team does a sensational job. The service is uncomplicated, but attentive at all times. The wine list is one of the best I personally know, the advice is even better and the food tastes simply excellent. The highest value is placed on everything, which is evident, among other things, in the fact that glasses from Zalto and Josephinenhütte are offered, depending on the drink or the guest's preference.

Es ist schon einige Zeit her, dass wir im "Nobelhart & Schmutzig" essen waren. Es war alles sehr ernüchternd und so war auch meine Bewertung, die ich bei Google hinterlassen hatte. Bei Google gab es viel Resonanz auf die Bewertung, offenbar hatten nicht nur wir eine solche Erfahrung gemacht. Wir waren also am 24. Januar 2020 dort, nicht im Januar 2024, nur lässt sich Januar 2020 bei Tripadvisor zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt nicht mehr einstellen. Heute erreicht mich ein Hinweis von Google, meine Bewertung sei auf Betreiben des "Nobelhart & Schmutzig" gelöscht worden, sie sei verleumderisch. Nun: Verleumderisch war sie sicher nicht. Sie war authentisch und sie war so schlecht wie das Essen, das abschließend servierte Dosenbier und der Service. Es ist schon erstaunlich, dass ein vorgebliches Spitzenrestaurant so seine Bewertungen frisiert. Hier also meine Bewertung von damals und mal schauen, ob sie bei Tripadvisor Bestand hat: "Wer schon immer mal viel Geld ausgeben wollte, um unfreundlich empfangen, widerwillig bedient und schlecht bekocht zu werden, der ist hier genau richtig. Wir sind Berliner und gehen recht häufig gut essen. Ich erinnere mich nicht, dass wir uns jemals so deplatziert fühlten. Wie überhaupt eigentlich alle Gäste in diesem Raum etwas deplatziert wirkten. Offenbar kommen hier überwiegend ältere Touristen her, die eine sichtbare Dissonanz zu dem hippen Image und lässig-abgeranzten Äußeren des nobelhart & schmutzig bilden. Das Motto findet man draußen an der Eingangstür: „Esst mehr Fett!“. Und so ist dann auch die Küche. Die Gerichte waren einfach und ohne Raffinesse. Mit einer Ausnahme: Topinambur, gefüllt mit Schweineschmalz. Das war wirklich lecker. Bei der Schweinskopfpraline musste ich mich überwinden, ich habe sie aber geschafft. Ich habe gelernt: Manche Dinge muss man lieben, um sie zu ertragen. Beim Schweinenacken – eine Scheibe Speck mit Spuren von Fleisch – hat sich mein Magen dann verweigert. Unvergesslich wird mir das Gespräch mit dem jungen Mann bleiben, der meinen Teller abräumte und dem ich Rechenschaft ablegen musste, weshalb ich das nicht aufgegessen hatte. Die Getränkebegleitung war besonders originell. Der Boden der Weingläser wird leicht benetzt, ebenso gut könnte man den Wein in Schnapsgläsern oder im Fingerhut ausschenken. Genial dann der Schluss- und Höhepunkt: Eine Dose Bier, die man sich zu viert teilt. Ist Dosenbier, schmeckt wie Dosenbier, kommt aus München und hat so rein gar nichts mit dem wie eine Monstranz hochgehaltenen Konzept regionaler Produkte und ressourcenschonender Küche gemein. Großartig auch der Abschied: Da werden tatsächlich die Stühle zusammengerückt, die Musik lauter gedreht und mit großer Geste die Tische gewischt, während man noch am Essen ist. Und dann ist wirklich Zeit zu gehen, noch ein verständnisvoller Blick für die übrigen Gäste und tschüss, auf Nimmerwiedersehen."

The restaurant had my review deleted because of “defamation.” How poor is that? Here again, even though the criticism will not be tolerated here and will soon be deleted: The restaurant is nice. The 10 courses were good, although not at the level of the prices (subjective opinion). We paid €600 for two - light wine accompaniment included. 3 stars so far, but the unfriendly behavior of one of the employees ruined my evening. I understand that the cheeky behavior fits Berlin's image quite well, but treating one's guests in such a condescending manner is completely alien to me. It's a shame about the evening.

Una piacevole scoperta Siamo stati a cena ieri sera in questo ristorante informale dalla cucina semplice ma curata. La filosofia si basa sulla scelta delle materie prime: dal pane e burro fatti in casa all’utilizzo di tutte le parti degli ingredienti. Non avevo studiato la carta dei vini (mia colpa visto che sono appassionata) e abbiamo optato per l’abbinamento al calice con le singole portate: una scelta (non economica) azzeccata perché ci sono stati proposti abbinamenti classici e più arditi. Solo un abbinamento non era nei nostri gusti ed è stato subito cambiato. Tutto lo staff è stato cordiale e si è preso cura di noi spiegando i singoli piatti. maître superlativo: ottimi consigli e ottime scelte musicali. Anche locale ci è piaciuto moltissimo: abbiamo cenato a bancone ed è stata una bella esperienza vedere lo staff al lavoro. Grazie! A pleasant discovery We had dinner last night at this informal restaurant with simple but refined cuisine. The philosophy is based on the choice of raw materials: from homemade bread and butter to the use of all parts of the ingredients. I hadn't studied the wine list (my fault since I'm passionate about it) and we opted for the pairing by the glass with the individual courses: a (not cheap) choice that was right because we were offered classic and more daring pairings. Only one pairing wasn't to our taste and was immediately changed. All the staff was friendly and took care of us, explaining the individual dishes. The maître was superlative: excellent advice and excellent musical choices. We also loved the place: we dined at the counter and it was a great experience to see the staff at work. Thank you!

Nix cool, war kein Sterneniveau. Die Local Ingredients waren völlig phantasielos gekocht. Hauptgericht z.B. ein sehr schönes Stück von der Spanferkelschulter aber ohne einen Tropfen Fleischsoße, ohne alles, dazu ein Stück geröstete Zwiebel, auch ohne alles, daneben ein Klecks Tomaten-/Pflaumensosse. Oder die Spätzle: Nudeln mit viel Dill, alles puristisch aber phantasielos und geschmacklich langweilig. Ich kenne einige bessere Restaurants, die keinen Stern haben. Nur das Ambiente ist cool: Eine U-förmige Bar für 30 Personen um die Küche rum und ein separater Tisch für 20 Personen. Kommt man schnell ins Gespräch. Meine Nachbarn waren auch enttäuscht.

Attention FRAUDULENT behavior on the part of the restaurant regarding Google reviews here. There are already other comments about this, but they will probably be gone soon.... I gave a 1 star review here two years ago. We really weren't happy with our visit (which, by the way, cost over 800 euros!). Now my review has been deleted because of alleged defamation. Providing such a poor price-performance ratio as a star restaurant is one side. Not seeing the negative reviews as an opportunity for improvement, but simply having them deleted is simply brazen. This restaurant is incredible. So you will only read positive things here. Everything else is left deleted. Not only will we never come back, but we will also be happy to report again and again about the worst restaurant of all time!!!

The concept, the food, the service and the wine were sensational. We were served extremely courteously and friendly, the food showed every pore what food can actually do and what rubbish from the supermarkets I unfortunately consume far too often and far too much. A really great evening and an experience that impressed me and continues to have an impact.

First of all: The quality of the products was outstanding, the creative implementation was irrelevant. From the front: A warm welcome from the staff, including explanations of the concept and what to expect. What I don't think is successful is the counter concept. On a special evening, I want to be able to have a conversation without being interrupted every 5 minutes by further explanations about where the butter or bread comes from. This was presented very charmingly, but please give the guest a little space for conversation and exchange. The explanations about the wineries were great, but in the end you are simply overwhelmed. On my birthday I like to spend €100 on a bottle of wine, but it was too much for me to decide between 40+ in this price range. In the end we stuck with: caramelized root vegetables, sourdough bread with butter, spaetzle with dill. Three small pieces of meat of outstanding quality with a greatly reduced sauce, very tasty. Fits on a fork. Cheesecake as a dessert, very successful. Ultimately, the ongoing and overemphasized explanation of regionality annoyed me a bit, as the concept is well known through the press and social media. In the end I found 540 € for 3 people, including aperitif and wine, too much. More creativity and I would have liked to have paid more, so it somehow had a slight aftertaste. To the boss: Your capital is your staff, give them more freedom. A lot of things seem too rehearsed. They all had class and charm. Trust them!

The concept is interesting, but really the food was so underwhelming. Also the seemingly a bit forced enthousiasm about the local products just kind of gets old. There’s something about it that feels so much more like a business concepts than heartfelt. And the German straight forwardedness/sternness might be an interesting cultural experience for some, but honestly we believed it kind of just masked the lack of good and attentive service? We got the drink pairing and often nothing was explained. The most interesting dish were the spaetzle with dill, which, as some other reviewer said, is not saying much. I’ve had better local, simple food in so many places and honestly do not really understand why this restaurant is counted among the best in the world. The food was just kind of… bland, in a white Western way. That being said, the atmosphere is cool, and we had a lovely night. But that was mostly because of the company, not so much N&S, unfortunately…

We were just there to drink wine. The wine list is as extensive as it is confusing. The snack was tasty. The service is unfriendly and Billy Wagner is Billy Wagner.

Phenomenal evening: excellent food, absolutely delicious non-alcoholic drink accompaniment (highly recommended!!! Especially the currant milk) and very friendly staff! We would love to come back!

Tyvärr kan jag inte rekommendera restaurangen. Vi hade trevlig personal, bra musik och okej vin, men maten är för tråkig. Kanske är det därför personalen måste prata så mycket om de olika rätterna och produkterna. Maten talar inte för sig själv tyvärr. Ganska smaklös och utan finess.

Great evening. The new concept is great. We probably wouldn't have come during the week otherwise. I was skeptical, but the food was great and the service perfect. The sommelier had a great wine recommendation. Gladly again

I was almost more excited about the wine accompaniment and the stories that accompanied it than the meal. But maybe just because I had wanted to visit for years (which has finally come true) and that's why I pursued the concept of local ingredients and products. I think you can escalate in style here if you have really deep pockets. A phone-free evening is recommended, there's plenty to see when you're sitting at the kitchen counter!

The concept is good. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in implementation. Price-performance ratio is not right at all, a lot of hot air. We were very disappointed!!

We were 'served' in 90 minutes, everything is timed, places have to be cleared for 2nd service, economics matter. Menu is 4 dishes plus bread and butter for starter and a small cake when leaving the place. A lot of explaining where the ingredients come from and... Quality was excellent but not one of The World's 50 Best Restaurants. Go tue-thu for a more inexpensive meal

Rarely have we experienced such good table support. Sommelier who knows his craft. Billy plays good vinyl on the side. Food was high end. Berlin par excellence! Wine accompaniment with wine bottle on the table. Sometimes as a guest you just have to have the courage to refill yourself, no false modesty :-)

Dieses Restaurant muss man als Gesamterlebnis sehen. Es ist ein Sternelokal a la Berlin. Angenehm ist, dass man hier auch alleine essen kommen kann und dann mit anderen Gästen an der Theke nebeneinander sitzt. Das Essen wird innerhalb von 2 Stunden serviert. Die regionalen Produkte sind sehr gut, dem Essen fehlt leider jegliche Raffinesse. Das Erlebnis als ganzes möchte ich nicht missen.

Very worth it! Unassuming exterior takes you to a sit at a square counter around the open kitchen. From the delicious bread and butter, to the exceptional veggies to the best chicken I’ve ever had, the waiter/sous-chef will charm you with suggestions of delicious schnapps and viby vinyl records. Deeply original, an experience!

Yesterday I visited Nobelhart und Dirtig, a nice location that serves regional food in the form of deluxe home cooking. The focus on local ingredients is commendable. However, the prices appear excessive and difficult to understand compared to the service offered. Despite the nice atmosphere, the impression remains that there is much ado about nothing here.

Bin mit sehr hohen Erwartungen in das Restaurant gegangen und wurde enttäuscht. Die Gerichte sind sehr einfach gehalten, was ja auch zum Stil passt, aber es fehlt im jeden Gang die raffinesse und die Kreativität, was ich mir erwartet hätte (bin selbst in der Gastronomie tätig). Für ein Restaurant das mit einem Michelin Stern ausgezeichnet ist, war es bis jetzt mein schlechtestes und ich versteh nicht wie es zu einem Stern kam. Auch die Weinbegleitung um diesen Preis, war sehr schwach. Einzig das Personal war immer sehr höflich und professionell.

We chose this place for dinner on our last night visiting Berlin. The concept of the restaurant is really interesting, and some of the courses were good. However, for the price the food and experience was a little lacking. One of the first things you experience is absolute panic when a massive drink menu tome is set down in front of you. I kid you not, this drink menu was bigger than some textbooks. I get offering a healthy selection, but I wonder if anyone has actually enjoyed looking through 200 pages of options to find something to drink. You can do the pairing, which almost seems like what they want you to do as they just set this massive tone in front of you without any helpful suggestions at all. That being said, the inclusion of water was nice, and the drink pairing worked very well with the food. The food was sadly underwhelming. I like the local and seasonal sourcing, but for what you pay you’d expect more complexity and better execution. The spaetzle with some kind of dill pesto was quite good, likely my favorite of all the courses, but that isn’t saying much. The main dish was pork that night and it was quite pink in the center, which very much concerned us. Moreover, the sear on the pork was done in such a way that it was incredibly difficult to cut with a knife, and consequently difficult to chew and eat. It was extremely disappointing and actually quite hard to stomach. Again, interesting concept, but not worth it for us.

Ganz toller Service. Das Personal weiß Uber so viele Details Bescheid. Das essenzielle war erstklassig und die Portionen großartig. Wir hatten unserem Spaß! Kommen gerne wieder

Really great service. The staff knows so many details about Uber. The essentials were first class and the portions great. We had fun!

Unsere Bewertung bei Google wurde gelöscht. Angeblich Verleumdung. Wir hatten nur geschrieben, dass mit den 1 Sterne Bewertungen alles gesagt ist

Nothing special. I was there month ago. I was born and rise in Poland, where my grandmother grew lots of vegetables in the garden. serving them in a basic way is downright arrogant to the recipient.

The "no-choices" fixed menu was an experiment in letting go of control but worked out well. Lovely sequence of great ingredients and preparations. Staff was charming and eager to share about their provisioning partners. Nice but very expensive.

We loved every bit of the experience. Yes it’s expensive, some might think it’s a bit pretentious but I don’t see it that way. When you go for a fine dining experience you are likely to come across professionals who are passionate about what they do and love to tell you about it. It’s all part of the fun! The whole set up is great, with a wide large counter and high chairs all surrounding the kitchen and the chefs. Each bit of food is sourced locally and with care. My tip would be to study the extremely lengthy wine menu ahead of your visit (they email it to you beforehand) so you can get an idea of what you want to get and how much this is going to cost you. All the staff were very friendly and not pompous in the least. We had a great time !

Top tier spot for fine dining in Berlin. They use only German-grown/raised ingredients and focus on updated and inspired versions of classic German dishes. Would recommend as a must try.

The only good thing about a restaurant is that it was an idea that came up 10 years ago; now any cafe near your home can offer it. The cuisine is mediocre, not causing any response in the soul. I do not recommend visiting. Michelin, as it turns out, is not an indicator.

The place is very beautiful and the fact of all sitting around the "same table" is very friendly. The staff's explanations of the dishes are correct. The person who offers the wine is very friendly and puts you at ease. However, for a Michelin star it is clearly not the level for us. I didn't really discover any particular taste or different way of presenting a dish (for example the Spätzle which was simply a Spätzle... but without the touch of a Michelin star). As for the Michelin green star, it’s perfect with regional products. Special mention for the cooking of the Veal which was excellent! Dessert without more... So for 130 euros it's a lot to pay. I hope the criticism will be taken in a positive way to improve yourself.

Most of the employees were friendly. Very heteronormative audience and interaction. There is still a lot of catching up to do when it comes to dealing with diversity. I found this disappointing and unfortunately had a negative impact on the evening.

a dinner with a difference. Super cool atmosphere and great selection of wines and regional dishes. If you're a wine fan, the top sommelier Greta will advise you. Super friendly and very attentive! Gladly again

Looking into the kitchen and directly at the counter, we were able to observe everything closely. There is a menu for everyone. The chefs presented their dishes personally. Everything comes from producers in Berlin and Brandenburg who follow the same concept: regional and seasonal with outstanding quality. We were also very satisfied with the advice from the sommelier. An all-round successful evening. Always happy.

I've left the below review 1 or 2 years ago. Now, the restaurant is trying to remove it and threatens other customers with letters from lawyers. This behaviour is all you need to know about how they treat their customers. Original review: I’m really sad to leave this review: You can argue about taste, menu composition, etc. But you can not argue about SERVICE. Rather quick service for this price tag. A major part of the staff is doing a good job, but if you are paying 200+ just for wine pairing and the bottles are dropped on the table without a word and the attitude says that you are not welcome, it leaves a taste. Regarding menu: good approach, local ingredients, etc. but all a bit too much „I am special without being outstanding at my basic craftsmanship / Berlin style“. By far the worst experience from guide Michelin so far.

Yes, Nobelhart & Schmutzig has a Michelin star. And yes, it made its way into the “top 50 restaurants” of the planet. However, after a six course dinner, I wasn’t convinced that it lived up to its reputation and its very high prices. N&S likes to emphasise that they source everything locally. And they make sure that you are very, very aware of this. Each course is introduced at length. Honestly, a bit of info can be nice, but I don’t need to know the name and place of work of the guy who raised the guinea fowl which somehow ended up on my plate. I honestly don’t care. If I did, I would ask. The proof should be in the pudding. Let the food speak for itself. And this is - unfortunately - where N&S didn’t quite deliver. A little side note on “ambiance”: The restaurant likes to play music at a rather high volume. Sells more drinks, I guess. Yet, for me it got a bit in the way. Also, the place smells, well, like a kitchen where things are fried. Because you sit right next to the kitchen, and ventilation can be tricky. Which not only impacted the way I tried to enjoy my food, it also left a lasting stench in my clothes. Back to food and drinks: As my partner put it bluntly yet accurately, you end up having “your grandmother’s cooking at a very high price.” The first course, “Brotzeit”, was exactly what it said on the menu: bread, self-made butter (so what?) and a couple of vegetables. Nothing special, really. Followed by grilled white asparagus in a béchamel sauce. Nicely done, yet again nothing to write home about. Third: “Käsespätzle” - kind of the German equivalent of mac & cheese. Again, well prepared, however, it is not exactly a high bar to get this right. Fourth: asparagus (again), this time green with lots of herbs and a (truly fantastic) parsley cream. For me, this was the best course of the evening. Fifth, pieces of the aforementioned guinea fowl with mashed potatoes, some salad and an egg yolk sauce. For me the disappointment of the evening. The little meat I had on my plate was ok, however, the potatoes were mostly tasteless, and I found the texture of the salad in this combination irritating. Desert consisted of a piece of strawberry roll (with verbena cream, interesting), some strawberry sorbet (fine, yet lacking sparkle) and a dash of double cream. All of this for €160 (including tap water) per person left me wanting. And a bit hungry. On the drinks side, N&S showed some potential, yet could still not live up to its high prices. The sommelier was mostly friendly, yet always a bit hectic, spoke too quickly with a weird focus on the tiniest details of the wines served. He sometimes just forgot his clients and their tastes. One can get individual glasses of (few) wines to accompany the menu, however, you’ll have to pay: €25 for only 0.1l (!) of a wine listed in the wine menu for €120 a bottle. You do the math. The sommelier poured out small tasting shots of (the few paired) wines. However, he didn’t quite accept a “no” from us when we didn’t like the wine in question, giving us push-back. Sorry, it’s our taste, and no, we don’t have to defend it. In one case, a red wine had bits of depot floating around in the tasting glass, and he dismissed it as “normal”. Only for us to discover he later decanted that same wine for other patrons a few seats over. Which would have been the professional thing to do in the first place. Staff were mostly nice, friendly and helpful. Although points have to be deducted for a comment about the single (!) knife each guest gets for the evening: “Yeah, if you take that one home, we charge you €400.” Neither do I understand the note in the drinks menu to charge patrons €30 for each glass broken. Is there a massive wave of glass-smashing going on in Berlin’s restaurants? Doubt it. Overall, we ended up paying almost as much for our (non-excessive) drinks as we did for our food. Which in our opinion was too much for the kind of food and drinks served. Your mileage may vary. We shall not return.

very fine and also very expensive

All in all, really stable 😉😘 your Franco 😉

We were in Berlin at the beginning of May and had high expectations of "Nobelhart & Dirty", as it is considered one of the 50 best restaurants in the world and has a star. Unfortunately the experience was rather mediocre. The ambience and decor of the restaurant are undoubtedly stylish and inviting. The concept of local and seasonal cuisine is also interesting and promising. However, the food did not meet my expectations. Nothing against the simple dishes that reflect the location, we were rather disappointed that they didn't taste exceptionally good. The chicken was chewy and the best part was the buttered bread at the beginning. However, the staff was particularly disappointing. Unfortunately, some of the staff were unfriendly and seemed to have little interest in providing guests with a pleasant experience. The Somali in particular was initially very stressed and didn't make any effort. When you spend a lot of money on wine you expect a different service. Then there is simply no tip. What we would like to emphasize is that Billy is the exception, he was very friendly and really tried hard and you could feel his passion. Overall, my visit to "Nobelhart & Dirty" was unfortunately not the culinary highlight that I had hoped for. I would have expected much more for the reputation of the restaurant.

In my opinion, a relatively bad fine dining restaurant. We took advantage of the menu on New Year's Eve and were unfortunately a little disappointed afterwards. The dishes were tasty but nothing special. The wine selection was very good, the sommelier also had a clue, although we felt a certain cheekiness on her part. The four of us had paid over one thousand five hundred euros. But you get significantly more service, affection and better food in other restaurants in Berlin. We won't go there again.

Outside it's difficult to guess that this is top restaurant. Inside, bar around open kichen allows to get familiar with all the staff and to observe them at work, which is very interesting. Than there is food - fresh, tasty, from locals, typical german, just perfect. We had brotzeit, asparagus, spätzle, chicken and strawberries everything you would like to eat at the beginning of June. List of drinks may be wide but you can either chose yourself or be guided by sommelier. Price is absolutely adequate to quality and amount of food.

A late review. We’ve tasted flavors we’ve never experienced before. At one point, I thought I ate an entire forest. I will never forget their crazy butter, strawberries, all the desserts, and all the herbs/flowers I’ve eaten. Will be nice to go back again and try their new menu.

Concept is nice But Really hostile atmosphere, bread is served for “filling”, impossible sommelier, Greta, rude, annoyed and almost aggressive. Never again

This restaurant takes the concept of "terroir" (the idea that something - usually a wine - should reflect a sense of the place it comes from) and extends that to the food. They therefore use only ingredients they can source locally (so no pepper, no lemon juice). The new “2.0” version of the restaurant serves fewer, larger courses (with a smaller bill!) but remains true to its ethos. The food is excellent, service is informative and fun and the accompanying drink options (including non-alcoholic) are extensive. As good as ever.

Price is not commensurate with quality. Over the top. We have eaten in many very good restaurants throughout Europe but this restaurant is not one of them. Nice decor, but food is very ordinary. Not special at all. Huge list of often very expensive wines, but I don't see the point. Consciously did not opt ​​for wine pairing given the uncertainty about the cost. According to the menu, 4 glasses of 0.1 liters could cost €84.

Incredibly authentic evening with rough edges, thank you! Gladly again soon

I find it "exciting" when you ask whether you can have the hazelnut madeleine, which is sold as a separate course, with your coffee in advance, and get the answer: "We are a pub and not a restaurant, if I give it to you now, Then everyone comes along in the end...!" This is true guest culture and makes me feel very comfortable as a guest in the evening despite the generally arrogant presentation. The ladies and gentlemen already know how great they are - and they let the guests know that too.

An inspiring evening with great people and culinary delights

Very nice interior and nice experience sitting at the counter overlooking the kitchen area. Friendly staff. Concept with regional cuisine is generally welcome. However, the menu didn't convince us. To say the least we found it very boring. It lacked any form of sophistication. We have already tried a lot of star cuisine that also uses local products and were surprised with much more creative courses. The pastured chicken on the main slope could have been juicier, the mashed potatoes tasted a bit watery. The dessert lacked any form of creativity. What impressed me most were the butter and the green asparagus. Strict attention was paid to any intolerances. However, the omission could have been replaced with something more palatable in my opinion. Unfortunately, the white asparagus ended up tasting boring without a sauce. My husband really liked the food. In return I got a boring mini meringue. I was disappointed. And at the end a somewhat surprisingly expensive wine accompaniment. Knowing the price beforehand would be an advantage. Instead, only a wide price range for the drinks is mentioned.

Nice ambience of the open kitchen. Of course you have to like the regional approach, but taking that as a reason for not using pepper is questionable since the drinks hardly follow this philosophy. Furthermore, regional doesn't automatically mean good, e.g. the slow-growing strawberries definitely tasted worse than those from my farmer. In any case, there is a lot of gossip about the products that I can't follow. So far so good, let's get to dinner. The starter with the vegetable variants, although I doubt that the fennel was regional as it is usually not sown until July. The cheese spaetzle was the highlight, but I can easily do that myself. The main course with the chicken, which had to go from Uelzen to Berlin, had a few deficiencies apart from the chicken. Half the head of romaine lettuce was still wet so that the vinaigrette stuck to it and the stalk had not been removed. The mashed potatoes had no taste whatsoever. The dessert with the strawberries was poor in my opinion. The companion, actually a good idea, ended up in the bin after leaving the restaurant. The wines I tried lacked any depth and for the sake of mercy I drank a glass. I think the €130 for the menu is completely excessive, as I've often eaten much better for half that price. The drinks prices are completely non-transparent and beyond good and bad. You're not allowed to take photos either, because there's obviously a reason for that.

A real experience in a very cool restaurant with a great concept, ambience and staff. We really enjoyed it and we'll definitely be back! Why is there still only 3 stars? The menu was reasonable at €115. We chose the wine accompaniment, which consisted of a glass each of Chardonnay, Riesling (2015! ❤️), Beaujolais and a long-fermented beer. Everything was very consistent - but 130€ for the wine accompaniment, which was not priced on the menu, is clearly excessive and leaves us with a stale aftertaste after a really nice evening. What a pity!! Plus another €38 for a glass of champagne…. Sorry! 🫣

I have to preface my review by saying that I am a trained chef, so I have at least a bit of a professional background compared to some of the “review writers” in the older reviews. It is an absolute mystery to me how one comes to claim, for example, that the price-performance ratio is not appropriate or that the price of the accompanying drinks is too high, none of which corresponds to reality in my opinion. But now to my review: I was allowed on May 18th. be a guest at Nobelhart & Dirty. To put it bluntly, it was a perfect evening. As soon as you were greeted at the door in a very friendly manner by a member of the kitchen crew, you were immediately told that you were welcome here. Throughout the evening, the service was very attentive and courteous, but not pushy, as I have experienced in other restaurants. We chose the wine accompaniment to the menu and were not disappointed by the wine served with any of the courses served! Many thanks to Billy Wagner for the great accompaniment. The courses served were sensational in terms of quality and taste. I could start a huge list here with points like: perfectly cooked, incredible taste...but the bottom line is that one word sums it up exactly: PERFECT! Many thanks to Billy Wagner and his entire team for an evening that I will remember for a long time.

First of all, the evening did not leave us untouched in every respect. After a meal, we have never looked so closely at the products, the concept, sustainability or our impressions. Many thanks to the whole team and to the producers of the products presented. After the many explanations on the homepage, we were really excited to get involved with the concept. We are totally thrilled by the intensity of flavors that the products bring, which is further boosted by the kitchen. Accompanied by perfectly matched wines. That's just how it is...! Only after a visit do you realize the treasure of this place and understand even more what it is about. Maybe it's about putting aside learned behavior for a moment - even if it's difficult. This also has something to do with diversity, tolerance and respect. Thank you for this great evening, which we will happily take home with us in our hearts.

A higher-end restaurant with ambitions to locally source all ingredients. One server proudly announced „brutally local“. As a matter of fact you get fairly detailed descriptions of the sources of many ingredients, as dishes are presented. Unfortunately, the ingredients did not always turn out to be „amazing“ in flavor or quality, and some of the execution lacked refinement or elegance. I found the food mostly rustic and fairly basic. My chicken, the main dish, was actually dry and too firm. Many of the open wines offered were more on the „creative“ side. If you prefer something more classic, it may take some trial and error. I recommend to ask for the prices for everything poured by the glass, as they are not listed on the menu and the server doesn’t tell you unprompted. Unfortunately, I did not walk away from the experience thinking that it was money well spent.

Food was as expected for the price, which was high. But experience totally ruined by the rudeness of the staff. Would only recommend visiting if you have passed the WSET… otherwise you will be made to feel belittled.

The first surprise after entering was that a Michelin starred restaurant was only 30% occupied on a Friday night with what appeared to be exclusively tourists; but we would soon find out why. The place consists of a large windowless room with dim lighting and fairly loud, alternative music/soundscapes playing that made it hard to talk to anyone not sitting right next to you. Throughout the evening, different waiters would introduce each course with varying levels of charm. While some appeared to be very enthusiastic about their so-called "food concept", others made you feel like it was beneath them to have to explain their great work to you. The theme of the menu was "brutal lokal" with ingredients only sourced from around Berlin and Brandenburg (except when they could not find them there, like cheese) meaning they tell you the name of the farm and farmer for each individual ingredient. All of this would have been fine by us if the food had tasted great, however it was simply incredibly plain throughout. It started off with some bread and spread which was fine but nothing you can't get at your local bakery for 3 euros. What followed was a radish salad that had no taste at all, bland cheese spatzle which I can make better (e.g. by using Swiss cheese and black pepper but alas, that would break the concept), a dry piece of chicken and some rhubarb with ice cream. Nothing tasted particularly good and nothing had any sort of twist or something special you would expect from the price range. When leaving, we each got a canele which tasted like burned dough, presumably because they made it without rum, vanilla or sugar and it ended up in the trash can of outside. Overall, this place is was hugely disappointing and just a collection of Berlin hipster snobism. I am sure a local concept can be a great experience if done right but this was not it. How this place was ever even considered for a Michelin star is beyond me.

Food: Excellent local produce, local dishes (Spätzle, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, rye sourdough bread) with no twist that fit the concept perfectly. Very German, if that’s what you like great. Not the place to be if you want to be surprised by something exceptional. Service: Below par for a Michelin star restaurant. The sommelier asked for our preferences, we wanted to order by the glass, and despite us saying we liked opposite wines he offered us a glass of the same wine not once but twice. He, of course had attitude, I accepted the second one out of politeness. Nothing impressive. He didn’t know how to read our taste. Then he just offered a glass of wine of the pairing. Unfortunately that was the start of our experience and it blurred everything from there. Apart from that, the cast was great at presenting the dishes with the concept. Finally, German style, they started to clean up and set up for the next day at 22h30. Atmosphere: Vibey, good lighting and music.

Overall was a good experience. Sitting at the bar and watching as the food was prepared made for a unique meal. And the individualized service was very well done. However, I expected better food given the price and reputation. Specifically, serving seared chicken breast as the main dish was underwhelming!! For an organization that ages their butter for 2 months, I thought the chicken course to be, well, boring. My 2-cents…

One of the best meals of your life

Highly overrated venue. Spend your money elsewhere - maybe just down the road at TR.

The mashed potatoes were great.

I really liked the food (I ate fish) and the atmosphere was also good. We were there with friends and had a great evening. The service was not always 100% attentive, but otherwise highly recommended.

top menu and incredibly friendly service.

Update March 2024: Warning! The restaurant is trying to force the deletion of bad reviews through a lawyer. In my case they claim that I was never a guest. I therefore feel compelled to repeat my bad review from back then, including the impression that it was a rip-off, and to assure you that I was indeed a guest and that a look in the guest book should have been enough. Of course, I can't judge whether the restaurant has improved in the meantime - because we were never there again. Addendum: Manipulating reviews is a no-go, period. It reduces the rating system to absurdity if everyone can claim ratings as they see fit. Take your noble and dirty fingers off our posts! EDIT: I welcome the owner's offer to talk, but on the advice of my legal advisor I can only accept it once the current complaint procedure has been completed. Tip for everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation: The Google Maps timeline! Luckily I had the timeline turned on and my visit was recorded there. And keep the receipt for the long term.

I was a guest with my girlfriend on Saturday March 23rd, 2024. We really had a great evening with good regional cuisine. Service was super good and very attentive. The dishes were beautifully presented, very tasty, but I didn't quite get the real aha effect. There's still room for improvement in the preparation, I'm sure. But overall a great evening and yes there is HB Traunstein beer.... 😊 3 stars because the price-performance ratio wasn't right.

My favorite restaurant in Berlin and one of the best on the planet. Love the personality and how welcoming the team makes you feel. Can't say enough good things about it.

The concept itself is great: high-quality cuisine with purely regional ingredients. Everything was delicious and surprising how varied you can cook with regionally sourced food even in March. There are 5 stars for the staff. Without exception, everyone on our evening was nice, helpful and completely knowledgeable about the food. So why only 3 stars? Because in the end it still doesn't fit the price. The fact that the menu is more expensive at 195 euros is one thing. But then adding another 23 euros per 0.1l of the recommended wine accompaniment is quite steep. And then emphasize in the wine menu that you will be charged 30 euros for a broken glass? Somewhere the measure was lost for me. But maybe I'm just too poor. 😉

While the food and atmosphere were absolutely fantastic, what made the whole experience was Billy. He gave us a personal explanation of each dish, the heart behind each of them is palpable while he talks. There were dishes I was sure I wouldn't like, and was blown away with the deliciousness in such simplicity. He truly believes in making the ingredients shine, and the wine pairings were each excellent. Something very unique is he offered a non-alcoholic drink pairing option as well! What a lovely way to keep those he opt out of alcohol included in the full experience. While the cost of this experience for 2 was quite high (800+ euros) it was an amazing experience to enjoy the ambiance and passion of one of the top 50 restaurants in the world.

What a great dining experience! The food was unique, the wine was perfect and the staff attentive. The kitchen was able to accommodate one of our folk who had a lactose intolerance without any fuss. The sommelier gave us perfect recommendations on pairings that completed the meal. One of the best dining experiences I have had. We have now been a 2nd time and it was even better than last time.. Can't wait to come back again and try the new format when it is released!

We had a great evening here thanks to the wonderful service team and of course Billy Wagner. The food was wonderful, we really enjoyed every course and the wine recommendations were great! You certainly have to fully engage with the concept and be open. In any case, we felt very comfortable here and had the feeling that we had had a wonderful evening with friends.

We go to expensive restaurants often. After reading the website of this place we got skeptical and decided to skip this restaurant altogether. We just don't believe these people understand what a typical guest wants: good food in a friendly atmosphere. Simple as that! Instead their "philosophy" is really one common boring cliche phrase after another. It does not sound authentic to us at all. We believe a good cook can think outside the regular framework of what everybody else agrees to anyway. It is good to have a philosophy but we don't want to hear it. Instead we want to taste it when we sit at the table. We do not need any sense of "Sendungsbewußtsein" in a restaurant because it should be about the guest and not the owner. As a customer we want to be surprised with great skills, creativity and a friendly attitude. Berlin has a lot to offer!

Unfortunately, I have to say that hardly any course really convinced us. The prices are set far too high for this. The wine selection, however, impressed us. Also very expensive, but really good.

Nobelhart & Schmutzig is currently the No. 45 best restaurant on The World’s 50 Best List, and a Michelin Guide ⭐️ Michelin Star restaurant. The only photos I took during the entire meal, which was a first for me. They have an old school photo ban. You’re not allowed to take photos during service. Honestly, it was super relaxing and the food was incredible. An absolute amazing experience.

Berlin all the way, so if you like it rough - that’s the place to go , arrogant service/ ownership or In other words - berlin schnauze. food is good, but definitely overpriced and the city has much better things to offer .not recommended.

I visited in January and I’ve take the view that I wouldn’t give a poor review to a restaurant in difficult times. However I went to a German Restaurant in Kings Cross in London and spent €50 on a meal which was much better in terms quality and taste than I experienced at this restaurant (where the bill was €700) and I felt I had to comment on this basis. I would say it probably, on balance, was one of the worst high end restaurant I have visited. The menu consisted of bed and butter (€30 extra), cabbage, mashed potatoes, leek with white sauce, and a bit of venison. Nothing was outstanding and most of it was quite bland although served like it was Michelin star. Although the service and the atmosphere was very good, I wouldn’t return to this restaurant as I found the food cheap, poor value and bland.

The Nobelhart & Dirty offers easy and relaxed access to fine dining. You can take the motto “brutally regional” at its word. All ingredients come from the region. Of course, they are of the highest quality. You also limit yourself to a small number of ingredients per dish, which is beneficial for them as a whole because they remain very tasty and don't get lost in the mass of the dish. Sure, you notice the difference to higher-starred restaurants. But you shouldn't focus on that, just enjoy the visit. The large selection of beers on the drinks menu is also great. It doesn't always have to be wine. We found the coffee served to be exceptionally good; we had never had such quality before in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Even the owner showed up and helped with the already excellent service.

Doesn't really live up to its reputation... too much fanfare... was a bit disappointing from a culinary point of view

While the atmosphere is funky, and the service excellent, the food served here is not up to the price that is being asked. Nothing in the menu was exceptional and many dishes were just... a tomato or a potato with no spectacular technique or idea to save the bland menu. Wine was mostly alright, but again nothing truly special — the addition of a cider and beer were nice. Don't get me wrong, I've eaten at restaurants two to three times this price, but this really felt underwhelming. The star this restaurant earned is not deserved. I still enjoy their online store with delicatessen.

The food quality is abyssmal and the service rude. Restaurant is overpriced. Not recommended! Go elsewhere!

Completely exorbitant prices. The quality and service don't justify it.

Can't recommend...too expensive for what you get. Unfortunately a bad experience. Unfortunately the service was also very unfriendly.

Completely overpriced juice shop

Somehow it all tasted very bland. The prices are high for the fact that your food is so bad!

It is so hard to describe how wonderful this restaurant is…it is like describing a perfect memory, which you can never quite depict accurately. The food was thoughtful and beautiful all while being fantastic. The staff from owner to Sommelier were attentive and friendly and the wine pairing could not have been better. I have been to many Michelin stars and mentions but this one has my highest marks.

Three stars out of pity, the price/performance ratio simply doesn't match here, very simple courses without wow, three onions and a noodle with a bit of sauce for €22?? It's crazy. Given the prices, I expect a lot more, poorly sorted wine list with little exclusive material, everything I've seen before. Friendly service, owner casually cool.

Были 9 февраля, ужин очень долгий и ужасен! Накормили вкусным хлебом и все, остальное простая деревенская еда и никак не стоит таких денег … Брали сет за 225 евро- оказались подачи из малюсеньких порций картошка , потом кусочек свеклы, чуть капусты и лук, просто треш Порции очень маленькие остались бы голодными, но тут пришлось есть хлеб, которого только и не жалели ( даже на десерт принесли тоже булку-калорийку со сливками … Винная карта большая, но вино оказалось простое Божоле за 190 евро. Видимо, они совсем не понимают что такое вкусная еда и подача! Адище, денег точно не стоит, сосиски на улице вкуснее !!

Well. . . . the noble hard and dirty so. Somehow I never got around to eating here. Yesterday it finally happened. (so good) The reception at the door was a bit chaotic but friendly and funny. Mr. Wagner is a professional, a charming entertainer. We were seated at the very nice counter and to my surprise the seats had an almost intimate quality to them. You sit very comfortably, have a good view of everything and yet you are somehow 'to yourself'. Mr. Wagner also told us a lot about the offer and what we could expect. Listening is not his strength. . . . but that may be due to its entertainer. It's kind of cute. So we ordered snacks and fatty schnitzel, which I'll get to later. . . The snack came promptly and we were hungry. So - exactly right. There was a long lecture about the butter, which then tasted like butter. Everything else about this snack was ordinary. But OK. There was also a very detailed lecture about the said fatty schnitzel, the name of which brought a little bit of a sweat to my forehead. The precise description didn't make it any better. My fears were then confirmed. The name is program. There is a reason why international cuisine eventually agreed on veal topside for Wiener Schnitzel. My father (born in 1919) would have loved the fatty schnitzel. I cut out a good third. Somewhere in the middle part I didn't seem to be listening, as I only realized after eating two thirds of the fatty schnitzel that the side dish was only available afterwards. Interesting concept. OK But then we didn't want to anymore. So coffee. I asked for espresso, somewhat intimidated, expecting to make a faux pas. It was like that too. There is filter coffee and mocha. So, we ordered filter coffee and mocha. Then a short time later came an impressive ceremony. Both hot drinks were prepared in front of us. Giant tray, coffee scales. . . . very good show. Unfortunately neither of them tasted good. I also took Buchteln with spruce needles. Yummy. When I got home I was hungry and ate some cheese bread. But - somehow the visit was like an entertaining variety show. Amusing.
