A visit to Restaurant einsunternull in Berlin Mitte goes far beyond an experience in fine dining. It is a harmonious ensemble of culinary creativity, thoughtful design, and Berlin’s warmest hospitality. Since opening in 2015, einsunternull has quickly become a part of Berlin’s elevated restaurant scene, earning one Michelin star and gaining a spot amongst the capital’s top ten destinations for gourmet dining.
Ivo Ebert, whose deep passion for cuisine, wine, and hospitality has served as the foundation for einsunternull’s success, is the restaurant’s managing director and sommelier. Silvio Pfeufer is einsunternull’s head chef, who joined the restaurant in March of 2019. Together, these two Berlin originals are seeking to answer the ever-prevailing question, “What is Berlin?” from a culinary perspective.
Berlin is vibrant, international, diverse, and multicultural – rich in history yet ever evolving. A city where trends don’t matter and anything is possible. The concept for einsunternull mirrors Berlin as so. Guests can experience creative interpretations of traditional dishes, all exquisitely crafted and accompanied by an exclusive selection of wines and non-alcoholic beverages alike. With regionalism still at the core of their ethos, einsunternull works closely with local farmers to bring the freshest seasonal produce to the table where they mingle with exotic flavors and spices.
The restaurant’s intimate dining room is set in the building’s original cellar, thus inspiring the name einsunternull, or “one below zero”. The dining room’s central window offers a peaceful view into the secret courtyard garden of Hannoversche Straße 1. Each table is assembled with the highest sensitivity towards design, featuring a range of locally crafted servingware – such as handmade porcelain by Claudia Schoemig, and mouth-blown glassware by Milena Kling. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, yet nothing is over contrived. This perfect harmony between atmosphere and menu is fused together by the sincerest hospitality, making dinner at einsunternull an unforgettable experience.
