2 Stars rightfully so.
Friendly service. Awe taking location even though it’s right on the street side.
While I want to share my appreciation for this place, I do not want to give away too much for those who will go. I had this place on my list since it’s only 7 u-bahn stops away from my door step. Glad I did yesterday quite spontaneously with my head chef of my restaurant.
He had the vegan menu and I had the Kolibri x Berlin one that you see in the pictures.
All in all, I found this to be the boldest and tastiest representation of German food that I ever encountered. Sure enough, that it was not an authentic way since the spices and textures were reinterpreted, but yes they worked.
The „Eisbein“ (pork shank – and in this case suckling pig) to me was the most controversial. I didn’t necessarily enjoy the aesthetic of the gel on the base. Nor did I understand the portion size. But it was a damn good piece of crunchy juicy piece of pork.
The bottle of selosse was grand with the dishes and I’m happy to go to a place where I spend the slight upcharge for an undoubtedly grand wine without being checked if I can have it. You know what I mean.
The desserts didn’t disappoint either though the Bienenstich did not remind me of the classical dish.
