Asparagus dining at Bundesbüdchen: The Asparagus Festival with Beelitz Asparagus

If you want to eat asparagus in Berlin, Bundesbüdchen, starting May 1st, is one of the most atmospheric addresses of the season. The restaurant hosts an asparagus festival, featuring Beelitz asparagus on the menu: For decades, Beelitz has been known as Germany’s most famous asparagus region.

First, there are two appetizers to choose from, including an asparagus salad with green and white asparagus and spring herbs, and a cream of asparagus soup with sourdough croutons and spring herbs. The soup is a real opening favorite for us. For the main course, the Beelitz asparagus comes classically with Sauce Hollandaise and parsley potatoes, but can be wonderfully individualized. If desired, it can be complemented with Bozener sauce, truffle ham, Parma ham, cured char, a schnitzel Viennese style from Duroc, or fillet of golden trout. Thus, there is something for every preference. The meal concludes with asparagus ice cream with yuzu granita – a dessert not easily found elsewhere in Berlin. 

Bundesbüdchen: History, Concept, and Location in Mitte

Bundesbüdchen Berlin opened on June 25, 2025, and immediately caused a sensation. Owner Jochen Thoss is a big fan of the original kiosk in the former capital and therefore wanted to design his restaurant to be as original as possible. From the outside, it looks like a scaled-down version of the Bonn original: an oval pavilion that combines kiosk charm with modern pop art. Inside, 70s nostalgia meets stylish design.

Head chef Johann Maier, a native of Passau, came to Berlin in 2015 after his time in Vienna at Mraz & Sohn and has already proven his skills at renowned places such as Cordobar and Oh, Panama. With experience in international Michelin-starred kitchens, he combines classic techniques with modern ideas. His philosophy: Less is more, as long as taste, product, and craftsmanship are central. Bundesbüdchen is also open for lunch, and the building of the Federal Ministry of Economics is directly opposite, giving the place its own unique Berlin energy. If you want to take a walk after your asparagus meal: Invalidenpark and Charité are just a few minutes’ walk away.
