Celebrated table
The story
Der Weinlobbyist - Restaurant & Weinbar sits at Kolonnenstr. 62 in Berlin, where a World Cuisine kitchen shares the stage with a wine list built on German and Austrian bottles. The Schlemmer Atlas gave it 2,5 Kochlöffel in 2026, praising its convivial wine bar and inner courtyard.
The wine list leads, and the food is written to keep it company. Ham and cheese platters sit beside house-cooked plates and Flammkuchen. Owner and sommelier Serhat Aktas has curated the bottles since 2020, with a focus on German and Austrian wines chosen for their honesty and the occasional surprise. The menu changes, so the four-course option may look different from one visit to the next.
The green inner courtyard has string lights and a Mediterranean feel, suited to summer evenings outdoors. Indoors, a private event room seats up to 40 guests and is lit warmly. The venue also hosts winemaker evenings, tastings and seminars throughout the year.
