Otto

When the seasons rule the menu

It’s bright and fresh, open and lively at the neighborhood restaurant Otto, which serves smaller dishes to share, accompanied by natural wines, craft beers, and homemade soft drinks. The ingredients come from the Berlin region, especially during the summer and autumn — when farmers and hunters in the Schorfheide are their main suppliers. The cooking is simple and flavor-driven, and the staff who present it are both knowledgeable and curious about what guests are craving.

Summary:

• A network of growers and farmers supplies the restaurant with seasonal ingredients

• Its own small farm provides vegetables and herbs

• Serves wines only from Europe, with a focus on low-intervention wines

• Prioritizes organic ingredients, depending on availability
