Restaurant Horváth Menu — What to Order & Prices

The verdict. Book Sebastian Frank's two-star vegetable menu on the Kreuzberg canal and order the aged celeriac — Berlin's most original tasting.

Not for: a big group or a fast dinner. The seven-course vegetable menu runs long and cerebral, wrong for anyone expecting schnitzel-and-beer Berlin or a loud table.

What the Restaurant Horváth Menu Actually Is

Restaurant Horváth sits on the Landwehr canal at Paul-Lincke-Ufer 44a in Kreuzberg, and chef Sebastian Frank cooks what he calls emancipated vegetable cuisine: a set menu that puts roots, herbs and preserves at the centre and treats meat and fish as accents. The format is a seven-course menu at 260 euros, with a shorter introductory menu for a first visit. Our Restaurant Horváth review and scores rate it one of the two or three most serious kitchens in the city, and it holds two Michelin stars.

What to Order at Restaurant Horváth

The one dish to seek out is the young and old celeriac: a root salt-baked and aged for a year, then shaved like truffle over the young, steamed version. It is the signature and the clearest statement of what Frank does with a single vegetable. Around it, the regulars order the bread course, which the kitchen treats as a proper plate rather than a filler, and the Knödel that nods to Frank's Austrian roots. The wine list leans Austrian and German and rewards asking the floor for guidance. This is a menu that asks for attention, not one to talk over.

When to Go and How to Book

Horváth takes few covers and books hard, so plan ahead. Our guide to booking a Restaurant Horváth table covers the reservation window and the best nights to try. Dress is smart casual; the room is quiet and considered, closer to a study than a party.

The Smart Play

For a special evening, book the full seven-course menu with a wine flight; for a first look, take the shorter menu and a glass or two. It is one of Berlin's strongest rooms for a proposal, for a birthday for someone who likes to eat seriously, or for impressing clients who have seen the obvious tables.

Our booking guide covers the reservation window and the best nights to try for a table.

Is Restaurant Horváth vegetarian?

Not strictly, but vegetables are the centre of the menu. Sebastian Frank calls his cooking emancipated vegetable cuisine, building the set menu around roots, herbs and preserves while using meat and fish as accents rather than the main event. The signature young and old celeriac is the clearest example. Guests who eat fully vegetarian should flag it when booking, as the kitchen can usually adapt the sequence.

How many Michelin stars does Restaurant Horváth have?

Horváth holds two Michelin stars and has done for several years, which places it among the very top rooms in Berlin. Chef Sebastian Frank, who is Austrian, has built that record on a vegetable-led tasting menu rather than a luxury-ingredient one. Those stars are the dated proof behind the price. Our Berlin dining guide lists the other kitchens working at this level in the city.

Is Restaurant Horváth worth it?

For a diner who wants an original tasting menu rather than a luxury-ingredient parade, yes. Two Michelin stars and a vegetable-led kitchen that few cities can match are the case, and the young and old celeriac alone is worth the trip. It is a quiet, cerebral room, wrong for a loud group or a fast dinner — see our proposal and birthday tables in Berlin if that fits the occasion better.
