24 hours in Berlin. Dinner at @ernst.berlin where we enjoyed a spectacular evening with the team from the excellent @sushi_anaba in Copenhagen collaborating with @dylan1watson Dylan and his team. An endless train of beautiful dishes from both kitchens, with the Anaba team utilising both seafood from the Nordics and fish sourced by Ernst from Normandy. I was so happy to finally get to try Sushi Anaba’s cuisine and can totally understand why it is now renowned as... More

Another visit to @ernst.berlin last year. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better 🤷🏻‍♂️🤯
Rightly climbing up the @oadtop100 and @theworlds50best rankings. This is basically my perfect restaurant.
A 40 course feast. And what amazes me the most is that I could return a couple of days later and have a completely different 40 courses (believe me as I have done this)

Two visits to @ernst.berlin in three days back in November last year. Ernst is one of my favourite restaurants in Europe. Their repertoire is incredible, on the second visit we had 30 or so completely different dishes than the meal we had had two days prior. Different wines aswell. Awesome stuff.

Another fantastic meal at Ernst in Berlin last month. I am really becoming a bit of a fanboy about this place. And to preempt the inevitable couple of people who historically have always piped up about portion sizes when I post my meals from here, remember that there are between 30 and 40 courses. No one leaves Ernst hungry.
I can’t really think of an example outside of Japan where the chefs are being so pure to the product. I think most dishes have 3 or less core ingredients here, sometimes just... More

I almost forgot the amazing wine pairing @ernst.berlin by the hugely knowledgable sommelier @christophgeyler
The restaurant only works with small wineries and dedicated winemakers whose agricultural philosophies echo that of the farmers that they use. 🍷 .

Last week I managed to secure a reservation at Restaurant Ernst in Berlin which, from what I had been hearing, would be worth the 4 hour flight from Turkey. I was not disappointed.
Canadian born wunderkind Dylan Watson-Brawn was previously cooking for just six people from his Berlin apartment (at the age of 19!!) under the project name ‘Jung, Grün & Blau but has now opened a 12 seat counter around his open kitchen in the area of Wedding. He was awarded his first michelin star last year and I... More

Lovely meal, still minimalistic, but now including some classical rich dishes such as the excellent brioche. Getting better and better, great quality of ingredients.

2nd visit at Ernst in Berlin. Dylan and his team continue to evolve and refine their offering. This is a very long meal with 30 plus dishes, some of them just small bites of one ingredient.
Highly recommended!

There is something about Ernst! They are still fine tuning the engine yet the standout quality, selection of produce, the engaged long time preparation and just genuine happy team elevate this to higher grounds...there is much more to come!

The small team at Ernst is truly exceptional. Somehow, they managed to serve 33 courses in just under 3 hours. The timing and pace was remarkable. So much of what makes Ernst special is the passion they express through their food and the respect they have for their raw ingredients. Ingredients are foraged and locally farmed in Berlin and its surrounding regions. A large portion of the menu changes daily. Ernst is quickly becoming one of the best restauarnts in the world. In April, Ernst was... More

Ernst in its current form is only 3 moths old, however it used to operate as a pop up restaurant in Chef Dylan Watson’s apartment. Now they stopped this format and have opened their own restaurant. And it is about to become the first true destination restaurant in Berlin.
These guys are really good, they have a concept loosely based on the kaiseki dramaturgy, tell a story and surprise you with great flavours. Dylan unpacks his experience working in the three star restaurant Ryogin in Tokyo in... More
