How to Book Restaurant Horváth, Berlin (2026)
Published · Updated
The bread course is a set piece at Restaurant Horváth, not a warm-up. Sebastian Frank cooks vegetable-led Austrian food on the Paul-Lincke-Ufer, the Kreuzberg canal. Two Michelin stars. The four-course menu opens near €100. Booking runs through the restaurant, not OpenTable.
Sebastian Frank's two-star vegetable Austrian on the Kreuzberg canal, from near €100. Book weeks out for a proposal.
Horváth is a small room with two stars, which makes it a real book. There is no app shortcut. You go to the restaurant's own calendar and you go early.
How Hard Is Horváth to Book?
Hard. Two Michelin stars, a compact dining room on the canal, and a weekend-heavy demand mean Friday and Saturday close out first. Give it three to four weeks for a weekend, two for a weekday.
Weeknights are the smarter target if your date is flexible. A Tuesday or Wednesday table is easier to land and the room is quieter, which suits the occasion this kitchen draws most: a proposal.
The Platform and the Booking
Horváth books through its own website at restaurant-horvath.de and by phone, not OpenTable. The calendar releases on a rolling window. A deposit or card hold is standard for a two-star room, so read the terms before you confirm.
If your weekend is full, check the site again in the days before; a cancellation-refresh often frees a single table. For a fixed proposal date you cannot move, a concierge can help; see the concierge route to hard tables.
What You Are Actually Booking
Sebastian Frank cooks vegetable-led modern Austrian. Meat and fish are not the point; technique and the pantry are. The bread course is the dish people remember, and the menu builds around roots, ferments and herbs rather than luxury proteins.
The four-course menu opens near €100 a person, with a longer seven-course running higher, and a full vegetarian or vegan version offered. Horváth holds two Michelin stars in the 2025 Guide Germany and sits on the Paul-Lincke-Ufer in Kreuzberg, on the Landwehrkanal. For scores and the full read, see our Horváth verdict, and the Berlin dining guide maps the alternatives. It is one of the city's best rooms for a proposal.
Don't bother booking Horváth if
You came to Berlin for a steak or a classic protein tasting. Horváth is vegetable-led by design, with no off-menu meat course. A committed carnivore should book Tim Raue instead.

Is Horváth good for a proposal?
Yes, it is one of Berlin's stronger proposal rooms. The canal-side setting, the small two-star dining room and the quiet weeknight service give the moment its frame. Book a Tuesday or Wednesday table three weeks out and tell the team it is a proposal so the timing works. See more options in our proposal guide.
