barlevain

Neighbourhood bistro on Vorbergstraße by Facil and Tulus Lotrek alumni: small plates, oysters, terrine, Saxon skewers.

barlevain on Vorbergstraße is the first place of their own for Maximilian Hühnergart and Anna Hernandez Götz. Hühnergart cooked at Facil and was sous-chef at Barra; Hernandez Götz comes from front of house and wine at Tulus Lotrek. The result is a small neighbourhood bistro, understated but very carefully thought through.

The menu is short, made up of small plates and snacks to share: oysters with tomato hot sauce, house-made terrine, pork neck skewers based on Saxon family recipes and simple pasta dishes with familiar flavours. The cooking is distinctly German without being nostalgic. Open Monday to Friday in the evening.
