Nobelhart & Schmutzig Berlin Reviews from The Last Year
Don’t buy into the hype: You can get a better (Michelin) bang for the buck elsewhere in Berlin
Yes, Nobelhart & Schmutzig is one of the (many) Michelin star restaurants in Berlin. And yes, it somehow made its way into the “top 50 restaurants” of the planet. However, after a six course dinner there, I wasn’t convinced that this place lived up to its reputation. And certainly not to its very high prices. The Nobelhart & Schmutzig likes to emphasise that they source everything locally. And only that which is seasonally available. Ok. Fine. I get it. And they make sure that you are very, very aware of this. Each course is introduced by someone from the kitchen staff. At length. Ad nauseam. Honestly, a little bit of info can be nice, but I really 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. Or that the chap who baked the bread had his parents send him this kind of bread to wherever he happened to be on the planet. I really, honestly don’t care. If I did, I would ask. And as the saying goes: The proof is in the pudding. Let the food speak for itself. And this is - unfortunately - where Nobelhart & Schmutzig didn’t quite deliver. A little side note on “ambiance”: The restaurant likes to play an eclectic mix of (or course) vinyl records 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 chefs preparing your dishes, 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 course: “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 course: 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. In my eyes, 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, to say the least. The final course, desert, consisted of a piece of strawberry roll (with verbena cream, an interesting combo), some strawberry sorbet (fine, although a bit lacking in sparkle) and a dash of double cream from happy cows who lived in Berlin’s neighbourhood. All of this to the sound of €160 (including tap water) per person left me wanting. And a bit hungry. On the drinks side, Nobelhart & Schmutzig showed some potential, yet overall - in my eyes - could still not live up to its very high prices. The sommelier was kind of friendly, yet always a bit hectic, and spoke too quickly with a weird focus on the tiniest details of the (sometimes exotic) wines served. And over all this, he sometimes just forgot his clients and their tastes. One can - kind of - get individual glasses of (some) wines to accompany the menu, however, the prices for these wines by the glass were a bit high, even for a Michelin star restaurant: Around €25 for only 0.1l (!) of a wine which was listed in the wine menu for €120 a bottle. You do the math. The sommelier on the one hand was nice enough to pour 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 on two occasions. Sorry, it’s our taste, and no, we don’t have to defend it. In one case, the (light) red wine had significant bits of depot floating around in the tasting glass, and he basically dismissed it as “normal”. Only for us to discover he later decanted that same wine for some other patrons a few seats over. Which would have been the professional thing to do in the first place. Apart from this exception, staff were generally nice, friendly and helpful. Although some points have to be deducted for a comment about the single (!) knife each guest gets for the evening: “Yeah, if you take this one home, we will charge you €400.” Neither do I understand the (for lack of a better word) threat in the drinks menu to charge clumsy patrons €30 for each glass broken. Is there a massive wave of glass-smashing going on in Berlin’s Michelin star 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.
Amazing food 5*, lacklustre service 3*
I once read an article in Vanity Fair about fine dining titled ‘Who are they cooking for?’, they being the owners of the hailed restaurants in the big western cities. That title sprung to mind immediately when visiting N&S. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the chefs very warm and skilled, clearly taking pride in their craft. The hosts (among them seemed to be the owner) however did not possess the qualities of the chefs. We felt as though we should be grateful to be accepted as diners and that we were somewhat in the way of their performance. I still reccommend this place highly due to the amazing food but be aware - you might be the ones that the chefs are cooking for, but the place exists for the the staff, not the patrons.
That there are other star restaurants
I found the ambience with the open kitchen very pleasant and it contributes to good service, as there is always someone there to serve guests. The regional concept is consistently followed and the visit is an overall result. The fatty schnitzel is recommended.
A relaxing evening focused on tastes and aromas
We had dinner at the counter of this interesting restaurant which by choice offers cuisine that is as simple as it is refined, using exclusively Brandenburg products. The atmosphere is convivial and welcoming, maintaining a very high level of attention to the customer, but in an informal way. It's really interesting to see the team working together, letting everyone interact with the customer by explaining the choices and philosophy of the restaurant. The dishes are excellent, with particular attention to cooking that respects the raw materials and leaves the possibility of enjoying flavors and aromas intact. Immense wine list with very high choice: we stayed in Germany (studying first😀) with an excellent Moselle Riesling…. So this restaurant really deserves both the Michelin star and the green star for sustainability. Prices in line with the proposal. Two tips: - try to book at the counter, where the experience is complete; - let yourself be involved in the interesting mood of this “Speiselokal”.
Pedestrian meal
We were looking for a Michelin star restaurant in Berlin to have a special dinner and we were greatly disappointed with the dishes served that evening. It was very pedestrian. The best part of the meal was the bread and butter. Main course was a chicken thigh, mashed potatoes and a few leaves of romaine. Really? For more than 100 Euros? We would not recommend it especially for the price. The wines were also very underwhelming. Service was very good.
Not classy, not harsh, but fortunately not dirty either. Not worth a visit.
Luckily, I was an invited guest and didn't have to shell out the excessively high bill. It all started well: On the outside door there was a notice saying that AfD members were not welcome, and the welcome letter asked us to refrain from using our cell phones as much as possible out of consideration for other guests. That's how it should be! (Among Democrats.) The presentation of the restaurant concept was also charming: The principle of "regionality" is taken so seriously, we were told, that even the pepper stays where it grows and AfD members belong. Chapeau! That takes courage and a deeply green soul! I secretly promoted the shop to my favorite place and happily asked for a regional aperitif, perhaps from Werder. The friendly waitress rejected this request as impossible. Because of the quality, there are exceptions. I should order a Cremant or champagne instead. The latter was unfortunately stale and corky. When we complained, she said sarcastically that corked champagne is never served, but that she would be happy to bring us another drink as a gesture of goodwill. The first course was bread and butter, with the explanation that it was a particularly old, matured butter. We couldn't find anything special about it, but were glad that it didn't have to be diagnosed with rancidity. At least the rye bread was convincing. However, bread and butter is served in every normal restaurant before (!) the start of the meal, without charge, to tide us over. Here it had to serve as a real first course, enriched for the sake of good form by microscopic green side dishes, which we were asked to consume without cutlery. The second course was 4 medium-sized stalks of asparagus. They were served with roasted elderflower. A nice idea, even if the aroma of elderflower is fleeting and of course couldn't survive the heat treatment. It was just embarrassing that you could order this dish separately for an extra 30 euros! The third course was spaetzle. These can definitely be described as regional due to the high proportion of Swabians in the Berlin population. But what was served were knöpfle. A trained chef would certainly have known how to distinguish them better. The "chicken" served as the main course came from Lower Saxony. That surprised me. Apparently Berlin and Brandenburg must be chicken-free and Nobelhart had the fluttering birds flown in from far away out of sheer necessity. At least we were told that these animals are constantly active all day, pecking wildly in a large area and that the meat is therefore firmer than we as broiler fans are used to. That was true, the beasts had been pan-fried so much that the 50 - 80 gram portions were bone dry and rock hard. At least: We hadn't been promised too much. I'll cut to the chase. There was also dessert, and when we gave up on the confusing wine list and asked the waitress to serve us a dry Mosel, she was lucky. Rating: 1. Cell phones should be turned off for the sake of peace and quiet. To compensate, we were constantly bombarded with music that made conversation at the table difficult. - Unsatisfactory! 2. The concept of "regionality" is inconsistent. Pepper is taboo, but not champagne from France. - Unsatisfactory! 3. Service - Overall still satisfactory! 4. None of the dishes were convincing. Kitchen with obvious defects in craftsmanship. - Unsatisfactory! 5. Not enough cutlery. Coleslaw had to be eaten with hands. - Unsatisfactory! 6. The claimed star is not a "real" one, but a green one. That should have been pointed out. - Unsatisfactory! 7. Price-performance ratio reminiscent of a rip-off. - Unsatisfactory! The whole performance was a parody of a Michelin-star restaurant. That's how we took it in the end and afterwards we were amused by the fact that we had been ripped off. But you have to be able to afford it.
Thoroughly Disappointing
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.
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.
insanely expensive and very poor products
We visited on February 9th, dinner was very long and terrible! They fed us delicious bread and that’s it, the rest is simple village food and not worth that kind of money... We took the set for 225 euros - it turned out to be a serving of tiny portions of potatoes, then a piece of beetroot, a little cabbage and onion, just trash The portions are very small and you would have left hungry, but here we had to eat bread, which we didn’t spare ( They even brought a calorie bun with cream for dessert... The wine list is large, but the wine turned out to be a simple Beaujolais for 190 euros. Apparently, they don’t understand at all what delicious food and presentation are! Hell, it’s definitely not worth the money, sausages taste better outside!
Expectations were high, and so was disappointment....
A lot promised, price/performance ratio completely unacceptable, own microcosm, drink prices not transparent We travel a lot around the world and have rarely experienced something like this. You're happy to spend a little more money on good food, but our visit there will definitely not be repeated. We went to eat fatty schnitzel, the quality was certainly not bad. A glass of wine with it, 0.1 for 21.00 euros (without mentioning the price...). They're probably speculating that you won't ask. The drinks menu with around 180 pages is a tome, the prices there are completely confusing. For drinks, the quantity on offer must be stated, that's what the law says... Luckily we pulled the emergency brake and ended up with 190.00 euros. Somehow a tip was expected, and when I asked what "soup with meaning" meant, I got the answer that the 1.19 per person was for homeless assistance. To be honest, I would have preferred to donate everything there..... And then on the subject of signage at the entrance. Excluding people just because they have a different opinion is no longer appropriate. I also don't want to indicate the political opinion of the owners at the entrance door, it's just disgusting to me. We'll be back in Spain soon, enjoying the uncomplicated hospitality, the good regional food and the much better wine. What a pity
Don’t bother
Rarely post. Feel the need to do so. Average food. Poor service. Grossly overpriced. Will never recommend. Not to mention go back (obviously).
Amazing food relaxed environment
While tricky to find, once we had found the restaurant we were greeted by our host who was amazing throughout. Very friendly and approachable and went well and beyond to find a wine to my partners taste. The restaurant is split into two seating areas one watching the chefs and one on a side table which is where we were. Each course was introduced with an explanation by the chef responsible for it and the fact they could do this so well in English was great. There were 8 food courses although a welcome drink and “parting gift” are also included on the menu. Each course was amazing and made from “local local” ingredients. The duck course and apple dessert were highlights but the smoked potato was also amazing. I left very full and happy. Compared to some Michelin star places everything here was more relaxed and approachable but the food remained amazing!
High price, low performance
Apart from the duck as the main course, everything was vegetarian. No fish, no meat, but expensive. You don't have to have it.
It's a gag but it's not funny
Completely agree with Murphy10000. It's a joke. The food is very ordinary but it is presented to you as if it were exceptional. The wine list is extensive and the sommelier is not bad. But the prices are totally overrated for poor quality food and wines that are not worth the price. Michelin really needs to wake up and remove this star which is not deserved, far from it. There are so many good cooks who deserve it much more
