It’s an odious cliché that crises represent opportunities. And yet we’ve found it to be true. Covid, for us, has been a much needed kick in the backside.

To some it might only be a restroom sign. To others – ourselves included – it’s a stubborn artefact of a society badly in need of change. Read more about how (and why) we’re bringing inclusivity to Nobelhart’s bathroom.

You need to ask, communicate. And respond with empathy if other people’s boundaries are different from your own. Now on @theworlds50best – @billywagnerwirt on the challenges of reopening during coronavirus…

From the beginning of the year, we are showing new works by the Berlin artist Torben Giehler at Nobelhart & Schmutzig. We invite you to a glass of Petitant Natural from the winery Brand Bros on February 22, 2020 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

It all started back in 2016 when the power went out in Copenhagen. Matt Orlando and the team at Amass had 60 guests to feed but no power. Instead of giving up, they leaned in and ended up creating a truly memorable dining experience…

What, you’ve never been to Albania? That means you probably don’t know Mullixhiu, run by Bledar Kola. You’ve got to go there, Ursula Heinzelmann told me. We listened, and on our way to Greece we took a detour through Albania, …

Domaine Julien Guillon is visiting Germany for the first time. The director of this festival isn’t a fan of natural wines, or at the very least is highly skeptical of them. Wagner, the owner here at Nobelhart & Schmutzig, doesn’t much like absolutes…

We stand behind the things we do. Our eatery: vocally local, working closely with local farmers, cooking recipes that heavily feature veg…

Don’t have rich parents? Your big-shot lawyer aunt from the US isn’t planning to visit anytime soon? We get it: KONAK GRILL – iZMiR KÖFTECiSi’s extra spicy köfte plate is great every once in a while, but sometimes you just find yourself wanting to have something special. And so you should. Even if you’re on a student budget…

We were in Istanbul last year, cooking with Mehmet Gürs from Mikla. Not long before that, the superb Hans Haas and Siggi from Munich’s Tantris journeyed to cook with us here in Berlin. We and others travel regularly, seeking out contact and dialog to help…

Kristiane Kegelmann to take over the space between the glass and curtains of their shop window. During this period, the restaurant’s traditional small treat for the way home will be a praline of Kegelmann’s label PARS Pralinen. Head-Chef Micha Schäfer and…

What’s the world we want to live in in 5, 10 or 50 years? And what does our food culture have to do with it? Everything, it turns out.

If you’re reading this, then you more than likely have already been our guest here at Nobelhart & Schmutzig. And so you know that we don’t do the cheese trolley thing. Which is not to say that we’re not huge cheese fans. In fact, we do something special each year…

The show must go on, even on Sunday, 1 December — the day of the RAW Wine Fair at Markthalle Neun. We for our part intend to drain quite a few extra bottles in its honor at Nobelhart & Schmutzig. As every year, we’ll be taking a few days off for Christmas (24 – 26 December). Otherwise we’ll be…

It’s been a while since we last gave ourselves over completely to one single winegrowing estate.
It’s time, and mama mia! What an estate we’ve chosen.
It’ll cost you a whopping 830 euros per head to sit in with us, meal and water included. There are precisely 14 seats.

We are once again tremendously fortunate to have been named to the list of the world’s best restaurants. One of the major sponsors of…

It all started back in 2016 when the power went out in Copenhagen. Matt Orlando and the team at Amass had 60 guests to feed but no power. Instead of giving up, they leaned in and ended up creating a truly memorable dining experience.
The following March, Amass decided to launch his first Black Out Dinner, inviting guest chefs from Brighton, Paris and Copenhagen to take part…

I’ve known Uwe Schiefer for a long time. In fact, back when I first met him, people were maybe aware that there were some decent wines in the Wachau and Kamptal regions. Beyond that, Austrian reds were, with very few exceptions, terra incognita. If people did happen to know about red wine from…

The Cheese Berlin festival at Markthalle Neun (2 – 4 November 2018) will culminate with a grand showdown on 5 November 2018 at Nobelhart & Schmutzig. Some of the world’s best cheesemakers will be in our fair city. That’s right, here in Berlin — in a region not particularly known for its local cheesy…

It was only a matter of time before we hosted an evening focused on Spanish wine. And it was equally clear that R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia would be the only winegrowing estate we could possible start with. It’s taken us two years to wheedle the family that runs the estate into a YES — we’ll come to Berlin…

As every year, we’ll be taking a few days off for Christmas (24 – 26 December). Otherwise we’ll be welcoming guests as normal, Tuesday through Saturday, during the Advent season. Sundays we’re either at church or at Berghain, or maybe both, and Mondays are…

The world’s best restaurants — you know the list. On June 12, a jury of almost 1,000 voters from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awarded Nobelhart & Schmutzig a spot in their rankings, namely: number 88 out of 100…

We are what we eat. In fact, eating itself is a political act, and what we consume impacts our society. These considerations drive us to champion the consistent use of natural products from our region and inform our position against standardized foodstuffs. We reject mass production based exclusively on price, not origin, that floods local markets with…

Normally we take Sunday off. Packing the pews, of course. But on May 13, Berghain will just have to get by without us. Sunday or not, we’ll be welcoming guests to our eatery. Why? The RAW wine weekend is returning to Berlin. Please note that on Saturday, May 12 Nobelhart & Schmutzig will be hosting a special…

We’ve made many new investments into Nobelhart & Schmutzig in recent months. Investments in the employees who’ve shown us long-term loyalty and in equipment for the restaurant — at this point our kitchen is almost exclusively using stainless steel and clay instead of plastic. We’ve also invested in the quality of the products, especially in the wine…

Wagner’s been drinking le vin since 2001. He trained under Ivan Jakir, at the time the restaurant director and sommelier at one of Germany’s best restaurants, Essigbrätlein in Nuremberg (2 stars, 18 points blah blah blah, just trust us you should go). And the lessons Wagner learned there continue to shape him even today…

It’s easy for Billy to pinpoint his Eureka moment, when a fundamental part of his understanding of wine fell into place. It came during his visit to Dominik Huber, a former potager from Munich now running the Terroir al Limit estate in the lovely Catalonia district of Priorat. That same weekend happened to bring the young Eichbauers, also from Munich,…

New Year’s Eve costs more. It just does. That’s what happens when even the amateurs are out looking for a good pour. It’s one of the few times of the year when seats are reliably scarce and restaurant owners really have something to toast. But tried-and-tested ain’t our thing. What better time than the end of the year to pull a few unusual corks. We’re exiling…

Our last seating of the summer will be on Saturday, 29 July 2017. First day back: Friday, 1 September 2017. In between: records, books and all the things that we barely get around to once…

Unfortunately, la dolce vita comes at a price… Topic: “Italy – The New France” Wagner says it all the time: France is the benchmark when it comes to wine. Except Riesling. That’s Germany’s gig. So where does that leave Italy? Berlin’s got tons of Italians, but no place to get…

The recipe was inspired by Sebastian Frank. Sebastian Frank is the owner and head chef at Restaurant Horváth on Paul-Lincke-Ufer in Berlin Kreuzberg. His version involved cooking the celeriac in a salt crust. The idea stayed with us, and we were moved to come up with our own interpretation. Wash and dry the celery root and bury it completely in salt…

White asparagus has come to represent German cuisine like no other product. We are proud to draw our share of this “white gold” from Teltower Rübchen. This farm works solely with the rhythms and products of nature: no plastic wrapping to speed up the process, and nothing but horse dung as fertilizer. We keep our role to a minimum as well by adding only a…

The distinguished ladies and gents in the world’s oldest profession have seen it all. So we have to admit a certain pride when the pros at Hetaera and Wayfare Escorts give our eatery their blessing. If you want real rare air, though, you’ve got to go for the improbable. Like, say, building an atmosphere where escorts and their dates can dine happily right next to Millennials trying to impress…

We opened Nobelhart & Schmutzig just under two years ago knowing we were a bit different from other restaurateurs. It’s given us the freedom to embrace and explore some unconventional ideas…

Monday, 28 November 2016 | 200.00 EUR per cover | Menu of Micha Schäfer | Wines by »Emidio Pepe« | You list to Chiara …

Last year during December we welcomed guests six days a week. It was a bit much. Here’s our new schedule through the end of the year: Sunday, 27 November 2016 – OPEN BECAUSE OF THE RAW WINE FAIR, Monday, 28 November 2016 – OPEN – SPECIAL EVENT WITH EMIDIO PEPE…
