This restaurant is a gem. I lunched twice over the course of a long weekend in Berlin. The restaurant offers a different set 4 course lunch every day, with a choice between vegetarian and carnivore for main plate. The ingredients are locally sourced, fresh, seasonal. The ingredients are artfully combined with a good balance of whimsy and classic. Expect fresh farm butter, cheese, and cream. Artisonal bread. and plenty of greens and vegetables. On my by lunches there was a soup course, a fresh salad, an animal protein (mussels and sausage), and a desert. Both days, the desert was extraordinary, with creme fraîche, home made yogurt, and berries. An example of the playful experientation: the yogurt and berries was drizzled with olive oil and herbs. To drink, they served a hot ginger and lemon what was fortifying on a rainy day. Also sampled some good artisonal beer, and a verbena citrus home made non alcoholic spritz. The atmosphere is welcoming and rustic. The windows are large and combined with high ceilings, the place feela bright and airy. Wooden tables reinforce the rustic - farm to table themed menu. Dinner is a la carte with a broader selection. I didn't have the opportunity to try it. Next time in Berlin I hope to. The closing time is last call. So don't worry if you arrive for lunch at 1:50pm - you are still in time. Service was exceptional. The servers made every effort to accomodate, were friendly and unhurried about our staying at our table long after closing. When mussels were served, they even brought a bowl of lemon water to wash hands after. They took their time to explain patiently any part of the menu we wanted to know more about. They were attentive when needed but discreet about not interrupting the group's conversation unnecesarily. The lunch experience was so memorable that I booked a night at the hotel. That will be the subject for a seperate review. Beware that the restaurant is closed on Sundays. The Michelberger also runs a bar with breakfast and snacks that's open from early to late 24/7. Also recommend it.
I went on my own and the very nice team made me feel more than welcome and comfortable the moment I arrived. the atmosphere is relaxed, the interior effortless and the food definitely worth a visit. actually I could have been just satisfied with the bread and butter alone - 100 one of the best I’ve ever had. but then the deer: perfection on point. honestly I did not even expect that much. also a nice selection of wine by the glass. highly recommend.
I had been looking forward to visiting this place for some time and i finally went with my wife just last week. We greatly enjoyed the food, the wine, the service and the atmosphere. The dishes were creative, very tasty and beautifully presented. We ordered a la carte, vs the chefs choices menu, since we wanted to try different things, but both options are good. It was very nice to learn that the menu changes a few times per year, since i am sure we will visit this restaurant many more times.
