The story
Hugos serves French cooking on the 14th floor of the InterContinental Berlin, at Budapester Straße 2, and holds a Michelin star for 2026.
Johannes Gehrich took over the kitchen after Eberhard Lange's ten years, having worked as Lange's sous-chef for years. Lisa Schröder, formerly sous-chef at Alexander Herrmann's AURA, works alongside him. Der Feinschmecker describes the cooking as classic in its foundations but creatively refreshed.
Tasting menus run six or eight courses, and vegetarian versions are available. Scallops come with lemongrass foam, peanut vinaigrette and a carrot and ginger chutney. The bison fillet is served with trumpet mushrooms, teriyaki sauce, a hazelnut and amaranth crunch, cauliflower tempura and bison ham.
The dining room is stylishly modern, with table lamps that dim for a slower evening. Guests who book a window seat get the sunset over the city. Shahab Jalali has streamlined the wine list and focuses on classics. Private dining suits both small and large groups.

Concept A breath of fresh air in the gourmet restaurant on the 14th floor of the InterContinental. After ten successful years, Eberhard Lange has handed over to his long-time sous-chef, Johannes Gehrich. Standing by his side is Lisa Schröder, the former sous-chef from Alexander Herrmann's "AURA". Tasting menus are available in 6 or 8 courses (vegetarian options included). Culinary Style Still skillfully classic, yet creatively rejuvenated. For example, scallops are enveloped in gentle aromas of lemongrass foam, peanut vinaigrette, seaweed-carrot purée, and a warming carrot and ginger chutney. Boldly aromatic, bison fillet arrives with trumpet mushrooms, teriyaki sauce, hazelnut-amaranth crunch, crispy-light cauliflower tempura, and bison ham. The exquisite desserts transport you to another world. Wine Shahab Jalali has significantly streamlined the wine list and focuses on classics. Ambiance Stylishly modern, with table lamps that can be dimmed for a romantic atmosphere; best visited at sunset. Verdict A new dream team that fully deserves your attention.
