The Nobelhart & Schmutzig
An Interview with
Micha Schäfer
Politically radical passion for cuisine: Nobelhart & Schmutzig is a culinary gem in Berlin, attracting gourmets from around the world. This Michelin-starred restaurant embodies a devoted unique philosophy of regionality and sustainability. Under the direction of Micha Schäfer, a creative fusion of traditional German flavors and modern cooking techniques is served here.
In an exclusive interview with our founder Stefan Rennicke, culinary director Micha Schäfer takes us into his world of culinary delight and experimentation and reveals what it means to work in one of the best restaurants in the world.
"It was a very short, steep career path with a lot of luck and little sense. It all came together within four weeks: I really want to cook, I can cook, and this is how I want to cook."
Minimalist look, maximum commitment
Every single ingredient is crucial, and every single ingredient comes from the Berlin surrounding area. Even sea salt from the Atlantic would alter the taste of an authentic Berlin cuisine.
"Especially the people who like what we do also want to feel that we understand what we're doing."
