Schüsseldienst

Bowls from former Le Faubourg head chef Felix Mielke on Akazienstraße: catfish tataki, 18-hour beef shoulder, open sandwiches.

Felix Mielke spent seven years as head chef at Le Faubourg, cooking modern haute cuisine. Then he looked for a new challenge and chose the bowl. Schüsseldienst has been in the Akazienkiez since 2019, and since May 2021 in roomier premises at Akazienstraße 7. You order at the counter, self-service, at lunchtime and in the early evening.

The bowls carry the work of a starred kitchen. The catfish is cured and torched like tataki and comes with carrot salad, pak choi, sesame, coriander yoghurt and snow peas. The beef shoulder cooks for 18 hours and sits on potato-leek mash; the chicken Thai curry comes with cashew-chilli puffed rice and coconut foam. There is also a warm bowl that changes every month, a soup of the week and open sandwiches on spelt sourdough. Takeaway comes in reusable VYTAL containers.
