Bonvivant: Where the Bar Belongs to the Kitchen

Cocktail Pairing at Star Level

Since April 2026, the establishment has been known simply as Bonvivant, a detail that tells more than it initially seems: Opened in 2019, it is one of the few restaurants in Berlin to hold both a red and a green Michelin star. Since January 2025, the evening menu has been served purely vegan. If you think this limits the drink selection, you’re mistaken.

Bonvivant not only impresses with its award-winning vegan cuisine but also offers cocktail pairings for its multi-course menu and a finely curated cocktail list. The creative cocktails are crafted with exciting aromas and ingredients from Berlin and its surroundings. Bar Manager Martin Wolf also works with ingredients like spirulina, beetroot, and pumpkin seeds. This sounds daring but works with astonishing precision.

Drink Pairing as a Concept

Next to each dish on the menu, a mixed drink is suggested – this is not an optional extra here, but an integral part of the evening. A highlight is the cocktail “Malt and Fire,” consisting of Malted Barley, pear, spices, and ginger. It costs 11 Euros neat; with Calvados, whisky, and smoke, it costs 14 Euros.

Those who order a 6- or 7-course menu can look forward to carefully matched cocktail variations for each course, which cannot be found on classic cocktail menus. In addition, the bar complements its menu with selected biodynamic wines from Germany. The constant changes to the menu keep the symbiosis between kitchen and bar always fresh and exciting.

The products for both kitchen and bar mostly come from Brandenburg producers. In an uncomplicated, relaxed atmosphere, the dedicated young service team explains the individual courses of the menu and the accompanying drink. So, if you’re looking for a cocktail bar that also has something culinary to say, Bonvivant is one of Berlin’s most consistent addresses.
