Touristic trap, shame of our lovely Berlin, parody on Michelin-style restaurant, the lowest price-to-value experience in my whole life. You should be banned from practice cooking.
1. We've informed about gluten-free preference of my wife. You mentioned that you noticed, but didn't bother even to propose gluten-free bread.
2. This guy, who drinks wine from my bottle... Who is he? Sous-chef? Sommelier? Does he have drinking problems? Have you ever been to any haut-cuisine restaurants? Have you ever seen there that a waiter drinks not only after opening the bottle, but also in the middle? Does he suspect that the wine became worse in last 20 minutes? And even after cork opening, he must smell, not drink!!
3. But let me go to the most important thing - food. The art of cuisine includes plating, combining sour/sweet/bitter/spicy tastes to build a unique experience. It is also a wonderful play with texture, a combination of soft and crunchy ingredients. Shouldn't I say that both plain out-of-season carrot and under-cooked pumpkin with egg yolk have nothing to do with that?

Our whole experience was disgusting. The only question I have - are you ashamed or is it intentional scam? I feel that this review must go to police and not here. It is not only a parody on a restaurant, it is a fraud. And dear funny dressed-up owner, I will dedicate all my efforts to recall your place from top 50 restaurants rating even if it would require me to proceed with lawsuit. We should be the last people to be scammed.

Eating and cooking is my passion. I love new inspirations and good local cuisine. That was the main reason why I chose Nobelhart & Schmutzig.
A dinner is not just about good food - it's about the experience. How do you feel during and after the meal?
The service and atmosphere play a big role. At Nobelhard & Schmutzig the food was good - regional and seasonal. Sustainable. What ruined the whole experience was Billy Wanger's demeanor. He rushed back and forth, shouted at his people in front of the guests and embarrassed us because a glass broke. Instead of dealing with this discreetly, he told us in a didactic manner that we had to pay 30 euros. We paid 750 euros for 2 people. Is it worth it? No, I didn't feel welcomed after the meal. Unfortunately, Billy Wanger's demeanor and the way he deals with customers is far from all the top 50 restaurants that I have enjoyed.

Definitely disappointing

Food:
*Best Dish: The bread and butter stood out as the highlight.
*Veal: Considered nice but not exceptional.
*Dessert: Didn't meet your expectations of what a dessert should be.

*Value: Not worth the price you paid.
*Ingredients: Focused on German ingredients with exceptions for coffee and Italian wine.

*Presentation*: Courses included raw carrots, sprouts, and large vegetables, which seemed unusual for two-course servings.

Drink:
*Wine Pairing Cost*: €74 for four courses, which includes:
- One Italian wine (10cl)
- One German wine (10cl)
- One cider
- One German beer (retail value €4)

Service:
Drinks were poured without any introduction, which diminished the experience.

Only one female staff member stood out for her friendliness.

-Rushed Service: The remaining staff seemed hurried in their approach.

- **Boss and Chefs**:
The boss was drinking wine in the kitchen, and the chefs were engaged in conversation while cooking

- **Cutlery**:
Lack of sufficient knives affected the dining experience. A tray of cutlery without a knife was provided, requiring diners to use the same knife for all courses.

### Overall Impression:
The experience didn't align with typical expectations for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The value, service, and presentation seemed lacking, making you wonder how it earned its star.

It sounds like you'd prefer a dining experience that's not only about the taste of the food but also about the overall quality of service and presentation. Maybe next time, a visit to a farm offering fresh, wholesome meals could provide a more satisfying and authentic experience.

We recently dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant that’s ranked among the top 50 in the world, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. The menu advertised six courses, yet the final “course” turned out to be a small takeaway biscuit, which felt underwhelming.

While the butter, bread, and the strawberry non-alcoholic drink were truly outstanding, the main dishes didn’t live up to the same standard. The veal, in particular, was dry and lacked flavor, leaving us disappointed. Overall, the meal didn’t justify the reputation or the cost. We had high hopes but left feeling underwhelmed.

This restaurant turns each ingredient into the true star of the dish, delivering flavors that are both simple and incredibly complex at the same time.
