A private farm in the middle of the city with a hidden 1,000 m² permaculture garden: this restaurant and café in Berlin serves Italian-inspired cuisine made from its own harvest.

Especially at this time of year, cozy restaurant visits are the perfect way to escape winter. And just 15 minutes from the center of Berlin , there’s even a restaurant where it’s always summer in California. But even in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the big city, there is a quiet, green oasis reminiscent of Tuscany where you can enjoy excellent food: Café Botanico in Berlin-Neukölln. Here, Italian-inspired cuisine meets fresh ingredients from the restaurant’s own garden, which are harvested right next door and then served. Quality, sustainability, and enjoyment are clearly the focus here.

Café Botanico is a charming farm-to-table restaurant and café with its own 1,000 m² permaculture garden right in the backyard. The cuisine is closely linked to seasonality, sustainability, and nature : herbs, vegetables, and fruit are first grown in the garden and then freshly prepared in the kitchen. Guests can visit the garden during opening hours, and a guided garden tour usually takes place on the last Sunday of the month.

The menu offers a varied, fresh selection of the restaurant’s own produce and carefully selected regional products. These include salads and antipasti with herbs from the garden, pasta and risotto dishes such as strozzapreti with pesto made from fresh sage and homemade vegan ricotta, seasonal vegetarian and vegan dishes such as black bean cream with dukkah, and a spicy fennel and carrot salad. The menu is rounded off with desserts and homemade cakes, including a delicious crème brûlée. The cuisine is creative, Mediterranean-inspired, and places great emphasis on quality, freshness, and a conscious approach to food.
