Tulus Lotrek: Top Cuisine Without Pretensions

Tulus Lotrek was founded in 2015 by Ilona Scholl and Max Strohe and has since been among the top echelons of Berlin’s cuisine. Since then, the restaurant has been a fixture in Berlin’s gourmet scene. It is named after Toulouse-Lautrec, the painter of the Parisian Bohemia. This sets the program: it’s about excess, enjoyment, and people.

In a beautiful old building in Kreuzberg, the dining room welcomes guests with high stucco ceilings, wooden floors, artworks, and originally preserved wallpaper decor. Romantic charm is added by finely restored rooms with creative forest wallpapers. In summer, the terrace invites as a wonderfully green seating area. So the evening starts strong visually.

Eight Courses You Won’t Soon Forget

Guests choose between an omnivore and a vegetarian eight-course menu, which can be supplemented by up to three optional additional courses. Maximilian Strohe’s cuisine is not purely French but also plays with Japanese influences. No dogma about regionality at any price, no obligation to a puristic three-component aesthetic. Global products, yes. But always with context and attitude on the plate.

The service perfectly matches this. The informal but well-coordinated service team, led by Ilona Scholl, ensures a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The global wine list shines with exceptional pairings and creative non-alcoholic beverage accompaniments. Due to high demand, reservations are strongly recommended.
