The story
At Restaurant Treptower Klause in Berlin, owners Anne Köster and Jussuf Kremke refresh their Mediterranean menu every seven days. The Schlemmer Atlas highlighted this rotating schedule in its 2026 guide, noting how the compact space trades formal pretense for consistent execution. Diners encounter dishes like homemade goose liver ravioli swimming in poultry consommé or Brandenburg porcini carpaccio dressed with lime and parmesan. This culinary rhythm favors seasonal sourcing over rigid tradition, letting local ingredients dictate the week’s offerings.
The kitchen bridges French technique and German produce through a Mediterranean lens rather than heavy sauces. Green asparagus paired with buffalo mozzarella sits alongside Irish entrecôte finished with onion roast and new potatoes. A poached skrei fillet arrives with vegetable julienne and a sharp mustard sauce, while summer goose noodles offer a lighter alternative for warmer evenings. Every plate reflects the same deliberate attention to texture and temperature.
Thirty interior chairs and an equal number of outdoor tables create a neighborhood scale that matches the venue’s unpretentious character. Staff members prioritize handwritten notes and direct phone calls when managing evening reservations. This tactile approach to hospitality extends to the dining floor, where polished wood and simple linens keep the focus squarely on the food. Guests settle into a relaxed cadence that rewards unhurried conversation.
