The story

aerde – Berlin | Modern Cuisine in Kreuzberg, Michelin Recommended

A Neighbourhood Table Rooted in the Region

In Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, aerde operates as a small neighbourhood restaurant with a clear focus: the flavours of the local forests and fields. The kitchen works with a seasonal à la carte menu built from smaller dishes meant to be shared, drawing its identity from the Berlin/Brandenburg region. Sourcing is deliberate—ingredients come from local producers, farmers, and hunters, and the team preserves and forages their own produce, partly in the restaurant itself and partly in collaboration with those producers. Fermentation is central to the philosophy, adding depth and complexity to each plate.

A Beverage List That Follows Suit

The same care extends to the drinks. aerde’s beverage list balances natural and low-intervention wines with classic selections, alongside a wide range of homemade non-alcoholic options. The approach is consistent: every element on the table reflects a commitment to the season and the surrounding landscape.

Recognition That Matches the Philosophy

This thoughtful, grounded approach has earned aerde a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026—a nod to its quiet excellence in modern cuisine. The restaurant’s constantly changing menu responds to what the seasons offer, so each visit brings something new. Whether you come for a few small plates or a full evening of shared dishes, aerde offers a genuine taste of Berlin’s regional larder.
