Quickly becoming a prime location for food innovators to discuss & explore the future of sustainable food culture, by day HERMANN’S is an all-day restaurant & cafe with a visionary di�erence, and by night a stylish event space for food-related events. Not only are the lunches absolutely delicious, but the highly-talented kitchen sta� (and indeed whole team!) are very sustainable in their approach. We’ve sent co-owner Verena Bahlsen a few questions.... To read more go to ooohberlin.com/INTERVIEWS

How would you de�ne the goals of HERMANN’S in your own words?

Our HERMAN’S team seeks to �nd the world’s most interesting, or promising, or sometimes just fun, ideas on how to make food healthier & more sustainable. We bring those ideas back to Berlin and translate them into our cooking and baking. We are explorers & makers - we love exploring which new ingredients & techniques can make our dishes delicious, nourishing AND planet friendly. Our goal is to share our explorations with you, our guests, and hopefully get a conversation going (over lunch) on how we can make food better in the future.

With such ambition, what made you decide to open HERMANN’S in Berlin?We love the role Berlin is gaining in the European cultural landscape. Our team is crazy diverse - 12 di�erent nationalities currently! We are excited to welcome all of those nationalities to our capital city, because we like seeing & experiencing how they mix with our German heritage. We’ve now been open for nearly 2 years & we’ve never regretted it. What do you grow, ferment and bake on site? We planted our own little garden in our backyard. There we grow everything from tomatoes, herbs or sweet potatoes to more experimental ingredients, like tigernuts. We bake all of our cakes on site, using only unre�ned & natural sweeteners, no white �our, and whatever grains, spices or fruits we can add for taste and nourishment. We ferment our own kimchi, our own miso paste, and we’ve even befriended a local startup who are fermenting water ke�r drinks next to our bar.

WHO WE ARE

Oooh Berlin is us, Anika & Chris. We are only interested in putting our most favourite places in our guides... and that’swhat makes them so trusted by locals & different to mostother free maps you might see - this one is actually curated !

To create our guides, we start off with 200 + places we haveresearched in each area, before walking every single street tocheck them out & finding other cool new places to try on theway. We’re always searching for places that excite us !

We come from gastronomy & marketing backgrounds, so we really look at the small details in each place, as well as the passionate people behind them - rather than just what lookspretty on Instagram. We’re extremely picky, to ensure that youenjoy every single place we recommend. Thats important to us!

Whilst we can’t try every single restaurant in town, it’s notuncommon for us to share 3 lunches & test lots of coffeesin the afternoon before trying out dinner spots! This takesmonths, but we’re very particular about who we feature onour guides - so, do trust us, these places are really great !

Anika + Chris
