Dinner evenings
What the year brings to the table.
Behind the scenes, time does the work. Vinegar, shoyu and other ferments age in our jars and barrels. Out front, we cook with them.
As a set menu or with sharing plates
Ticket required
Food: vegan
The bright acidity of a vinegar, the depth of a shoyu, the floral scent of wild blossoms. We cook vegan and source our vegetables from the region, in the best quality we can find. Our ideas come from right outside the door and from the other side of the world. We bring what we know about our edible surroundings and about fermentation onto one plate. And we bring you to a shared table, in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sometimes 50 people and sharing plates, sometimes 20 and many courses. Usually starts at 7 pm. Group size, format, menu and price are listed with each date.
The drinks pairing comes with or without alcohol.

On request
Food: vegan
Heading out. Being outside together. Putting names to the small things by the wayside. We stoop down into the herb-covered hollows and stretch up to the fruit-laden heights. Here, sweet clover smells of tonka bean. There, garlic mustard seeds fire us up with a sweet, wasabi-like heat.
We take the day's wild ingredients into the kitchen. There we show you how to prepare and preserve what you've gathered, with recipes and techniques you can repeat at home. Then we sit down at a table laid with exotic flavours from right here.
Foraging & dinner has no fixed date. Tell us when you'd like to join and how many of you there are.
We usually reply within 2 working days.
Pop-ups
Street food from the lab
No sign-up needed
Food: listed with each date; about half of the pop-ups are vegan
Every now and then we take the lab out. One hand-held dish, built from what has aged in our jars and barrels, with the same standards as at the table. Standing up, in places where nobody expects fermentation. When and where is listed with each date and on Instagram.
Pop-ups with the Berlin Ramen Society
Since 2025 Simon has run the food side of the Berlin Ramen Society. You can try it at joint pop-ups and events and at the Berlin Ramen Festival. More about the collaboration
Open Lab
The lab is open.
No sign-up needed
Food: vegan
About once a month we open up the lab. There are small dishes made with our ferments, plus drinks. Sometimes there are ferments to take home. You pay on the spot for what you eat and drink. Just drop by. You don't need to sign up or have a ticket. We announce the dates in the newsletter and on Instagram. There are no fixed opening hours.
Location
Sonnenallee, Neukölln.
Most dinners and Open Labs take place in our lab on Sonnenallee. Some evenings and the pop-ups happen elsewhere in Berlin. The exact address is listed with each date. You'll find the lab at Sonnenallee 61, rear courtyard (Hinterhof), 12045 Berlin.
The nearest U-Bahn station is Rathaus Neukölln (U7). Hermannplatz (U8) is another option, a little further away. At Sonnenallee 61, walk into the rear courtyard (Hinterhof), then through the passage. Take the door on the left. Access is step-free.
Your own private menu evening
A dinner just for your group? We plan the menu, date and setting with you. We agree the location together.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a dinner last?
It usually starts at 7 pm. An evening lasts around 3 to 4 hours; the exact times are on the ticket.
Can you cater for intolerances?
Where possible, yes. Let us know anything relevant when you book, the earlier the better.
Can I cancel my ticket?
Yes. Up to 14 days before the dinner you can cancel free of charge. 7 to 13 days before, we refund 50%; after that the full price is due. If you can't come, you can pass your ticket on to someone else at any time.
