MaMi's Food&Wine — Restaurant in Berlin

really nice place where you can order an 8 or 10 course tasting menu.

we chose the 8 course and were served: smoked leek dashi soup (complimentary, this was amazing, flavour bomb concentrate with such a warm and welcoming gesture tied to it) pastrami with bread, aioli spread and cabbage as a starter (felt that this wasn’t needed but the pastrami was one of the best I’ve tasted) salmon ceviche (unfortunately this dish was lost on me, it was probably the carrots and how the sauce was way too acidic and nothing to hold it down, the salmon quality was also below average…) leek, beetroot & saffron cream (this was amazing, the saffron cream was delightful) pimentos de padrón (the orange and cheddar seemed strange to me at first but somehow it works, I wished they used lemon instead of the orange for acidity as I felt the orange was too sweet) croquette with celery & chimichurri soup, the croquette + whatever sauce was underneath was so good one of my favourites of the menu main course of king oyster mushrooms with chili & salad, wonderful all together desserts: sour cream, apple, gochujang & honeybread, with uta pear in white chocolate and pumpkin seeds, the latter dessert...

Unfortunately not the best experience for a place that was recommended on the Michelin Guide. I understand that restaurants and chefs can be creative with the dishes, but maybe it was the pairing we had, that dishes were heavy to both my partner and I. 3 plates with crème fraiche or similar, 3 plates with lettuce, some too acid. Portions were small but not spectacular, and the price of 85 euros each definitely not good value for the type of quality we had.

What we didn’t like: Waiter was slightly invasive to our conversation, interrupted several times while we were chatting and eating. Food was a bit dull, I don’t think ingredients were of the highest quality. The water on a very warm day could have been at least cold or have ice, and was as warm as the day. The salmon trout was very salty, don’t mention the “lettuce tacos” never call a taco anything not made...

MaMi’s Food & Wine is one of those places that instantly makes you feel welcome – a mix of great service, warm atmosphere, and dishes that really surprise you. The menu is inventive without being pretentious, and everything I tried was bursting with flavor. Their wine selection is spot on and clearly chosen with love, making it easy to find the perfect match for your meal. What I loved most is that the staff doesn’t just serve – they guide, explain, and make you feel like you’re part of their passion for food and wine. It’s a place that works equally well for a cozy dinner for two, a relaxed evening with friends, or even a special occasion. You can tell that quality and sourcing matter here, and it shows in every bite. If you want an evening where food, wine, and atmosphere come...
