Maximilian Hühnergarth runs barlevain on Vorbergstraße in Schöneberg — before this first own place, the chef worked at the Tulus Lotrek star kitchen and at Barra (Bib Gourmand) in Neukölln.

The menu runs seasonal and compact, the focus on the wine bar — natural wine and non-alcoholic pairings are equally curated. Casual neighbourhood format, service briefs personally at the table. The pick: ask after the wine-buff special, the selection rotates with the menu.
