In the pedestrian zone on Boehmischer Platz in Rixdorf, Sarah Hallmann has run her Hallmann und Klee since 2016 and in 2024 took the only new Berlin Michelin star of the year. Her menu costs 128 euros including filtered water, the drinks pairing 68 euros, and at the houses high tables single courses are served without a booking.
A corner house on Boehmischer Platz in Rixdorf
Hallmann und Klee sits at Boehmische Strasse 13 in Neukoelln, in the pedestrian zone on Boehmischer Platz and therefore in old Rixdorf, a quarter whose low houses make it feel more like a village than an inner city. Karl-Marx-Strasse station is within walking distance, and the ring railway and buses stop nearby. It all began in 2016, in the rooms of a former breakfast cafe; the second part of the name goes back to Frizzi Klee, at that time Sarah Hallmanns partner. In 2026 the house turns ten. The dining room is kept spare, with whitewashed brick walls and around thirty-five seats, and in the warmer part of the year a terrace is added. Sarah Hallmann is head chef and owner in one person, while the sommelier Alex Lepianka answers for the cellar. Because the square outside belongs to the pedestrian zone, it stays unusually quiet here even in the evening for Neukoelln, and the walk from the table to the old village centre is short.
Honestly good cooking, and a Toast Hawaii in the menu
As a motto Hallmann und Klee has given itself a phrase that sounds almost defiant for a starred restaurant: honestly good cooking. The house describes its line as clear, pared back and warm; Sarah Hallmann takes her cues from far beyond Berlin but cooks with what the region currently has to offer. The house received its Michelin star in March 2024, and it was the only new star in the city that year. A menu is served for 128 euros, filtered water included, and it can be extended by two further courses. The drinks pairing costs 68 euros and the non-alcoholic version a little less. That a course called Toast Hawaii appears on a starred card, and another is simply called potato, fits that attitude: the houses signature dish joins potato, lovage and whey. Anyone who comes without a booking can take single courses at the high tables, as long as there is room. Gault und Millau awards three toques.
