I organized a large group dinner here and selected an €89 menu. We only discussed the food menu…read morebeforehand. When our group arrived, there was already poured champagne on the table, even though we had guests who do not drink alcohol for various reasons. Since they already opened the bottles (without discussing with us), they put them on our tab. As the initial courses were served, they kept opening wine bottles, whites and reds, and pouring them. I told the staff I never discussed wines when I booked the menu, and their response was, "Oh you want to choose the wine?" Well yes, and we had a budget so stop opening more when we didn't have many alcohol drinkers (1 star off). Even the wine drinkers were irritated that the staff kept topping off their glasses when they didn't want anymore. Needless to say, our final bill was much more than our initial agreement due to all the alcohol opened and poured without our consent. The food was well-plated and showed creative combinations. I liked most of the combinations. The herring-green beans-tomato-apple salad was my favorite, followed by the elderberry ice cream-white chocolate dessert. I did not like the corn mousse stuffed inside a white chocolate shell; I was confused if it was supposed to be a savory or sweet dish, and the combination tasted weird (1 star off). The cheese course did not need a second dollop of cheese foam on top of the cheese. The deer was too gamey for me, but that could have been a personal preference. Service was good at first, but slowed down and became very inattentive at the end...maybe because we asked them to not open more bottles of wine? Our guests really wanted to leave at the end because it took too long between courses. When I asked for the check, it took 20 minutes to get it. We were there for a total of 4 hours.

(Last visited 1/24/2023.) While working in Hamburg, Germany for the first time visiting this…read morewonderful country, I decided to take a drive down to Berlin and visit the biggest city in the country! Often when in Europe my wife and I like to visit Michelin Star rated restaurants because they're typically cheaper, more available and the tip is included (thus cheaper)! Lol. So today, we checked out Bieberbau, a Michelin 1-Star restaurant! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set a bit outside of the city center is this gem that genuinely is a bit hidden among some residential neighborhoods. This place is built inside an old studio house that was built at the end of the 1800s. The decor is so cool, laid back and filled with history. The carpet is bright red, the archways are so incredibly detailed and the energy in here was laid back. Service: Like an any Michelin-rated restaurant, the service was EXQUISITE. Beyond good. However, almost everyone has an accent of some kind so you have to really pay attention to when they're explaining things to you. Needless to say, we had no complaints. Food: This is going to be the hardest part for me to explain. Lol. Since I wasn't taking notes on each dish as I was eating them, I can't describe everything to you. What's most important is that the food is TOP TIER. The menu is designed to tell a story of the colder months in Germany, which it does. One thing I do absolutely love about these kind of tasting menus is that when you first sit down to check out the menu, you see 6 courses. But there's almost always extra. Lol. Amuse bouches come out then the pre-desserts after the savory courses conclude. The dinner winds up being like 9 and you're completely stuffed. Value: I mean, look. If you're coming to a place like this, you should know you have to pay to play. However, Bieberbau is willing to work with you. So they have several menus you can choose from and you can choose 3 courses for 86.50€. However, there are MANY more courses you can add to seemingly create your own menu and it's only an addition 12.00€ to do so! So if you're on a date and you get some wine, you can easily come out around 400.00€ at the end, but like I said, this is an experience, a journey in food. Totally worth it. In conclusion, I'm sitting in Berlin, Germany RIGHT NOW as I type this over 2-years later and this took me back down memory lane. I'm considering revisiting this place since they change their menu often... We shall see... Thank you for reading!

This dinner was quite the experience, as each course was played beautifully and paired with wine that complimented the dish very well. The service was excellent. We also had cocktails, which were excellent. There was a long wait time between each course, which would have been fine if each course wasn't merely a few bites. I left this dinner buzzed but still hungry, which is pretty crazy considering we spent nearly €300 on dinner. Which is also quite crazy. But it was definitely an experience that we will never forget, and if you enjoy the finer things in life, we recommend this hotel. Not sure that we would ever do it again as the food was mostly way over my head (potato foam in a glass bottle to drink through a straw??) But this restaurant left no detail overlooked and we will surely talk about this meal for a long time.

On my recent trip to Germany, Hugos in Berlin was highly recommended to me by a close friend. My experience was phenomenal, from the service and expertise on the food and wine pairings to the views of the city. The restaurant is located at the top of the InterContinental Berlin hotel, serving French and Mediterranean fare in a coursed style experience. You can opt for 4, 6 or 8 courses, and add wine pairings to each of the courses. If you'd prefer, they can prepare a larger portion of some of the courses for just one main entree. We opted for the 8 course with wine pairing. The whole experience took around 3 hours, but we were certainly taking our time and enjoying every bite! With 8 courses I was definitely full, but keep in mind this is much more about art and flavor profiles than it is large portions. If you have any questions they are more than happy to help answer them, and the sommelier explains the wine pairings in as much detail as you prefer. As you can imagine, the menu changes frequently, but I will share what I had in June of 2019. I'd HIGHLY recommend Hugo's for a unique experience you won't forget!

How ingredients like parsnip, peas, pickled gherkin and horseradish, though familiar, transformed the dishes in unexpected ways.

One dish, for me, that perfectly highlighted the familiar with the delightfully unfamiliar was the mieral pigeon. So beautifully done.

Got the mozarella appetizer... however they made those tomatoes... they were super tasty! Then main course (because its spargel season) I got the spargel pasta. If you come here thinking this is italian food, it really isn't but it is equally as tasty. The pasta looked as if it was made in house and the asparagus/spargel was well cooked. I wish the dish had a little more flavor but overall it was really good and I would like to try something else more original to the restaurant next time. The reason they get 4 stars is because the service was pretty slow but aside from that, very cute and I would go back again to try something else.
