Cookies Cream

A great experience with vegetarian high quality fine dining. A unique location sets the mood and the service is great, friendly and open. Surprisingly unpretentious. The food was great with lots of care for detail. My favorite was probably the asparagus soup that has such a depth of asparagus flavour in its broth. The non-alcoholic pairing was really nice overall, some where great and others were interesting. The dessert was a bit of a disappointment, it was unbalanced with to much sharp rhubarb and not enough sweetness to balance it with. The other components was great but not enough of it. Overall a great experience with great food, but not quite enough for 5 stars.

It was wonderful. The staff is incredibly nice and the atmosphere is really cool. A bit hard to find but once you are there everything goes smooth and perfect. We will come back for sure for our 5 years anniversary :-)

(Short version—run, don’t walk, to Cookies Cream) Being a vegetarian, I usually stay away from tasting menus because they are almost never worth it (at least for non-plant-based restaurants). I’d been to one highly-rated vegan restaurant in the US and the tasting menu pretty good, but gimmicky. I don’t regret going, but I wouldn’t go again (given the cost). I’d heard great things about Cookies Cream, so when I went to Berlin for work I had to check it out. OH MY GOODNESS!! WOW WOW WOW. I have been raving about it ever since I got home. It was all DELICIOUS and some of the dishes were downright mind-blowing. (Whatever that egg thing with the seafood caviar was sumptuous—and that was just one of the delicious things!) The service was wonderful. In addition to being great in the traditional sense, my waiter heard that I was trying to plan my one day for sightseeing and gave me suggestions I had not heard of. I did them the next day and was so happy I didn’t just do the “greatest hits” of Berlin. I never have had a desire to be wealthy, but eating here made me want to be. I could definitely splurge on this several times a year (or every other month?), but if I were wealthy I would eat here every day!!

We absolutely loved our 7 courses menu with pairing dinning experience at Cookies Cream. It was our second time dinning here and it was phenomenal. I highly recommend it to anyone living or traveling to Berlin looking for a unique, cozy atmosphere with delicious vegetarian delights.

The best food experience I’ve ever had, and I’m a very picky person. A special thank you to Armen, whose warmth and sincerity added so much to the evening. Fine dining can sometimes feel a little stiff or intimidating, but he was genuinely approachable and lovely. My grandpa is Armenian, so that ended up being a nice coincidence as well. By the end of the meal, we felt completely blissful. There was a sense of lightness that is hard to describe. I just wanted to giggle and dance. I don’t think I could really grasp words anymore. 😂 The food genuinely had that effect on us. And as a vegetarian, I left feeling spoiled, which is not something I get to say very often.
