Walking into Tulus Lotrek feels like stepping into a world where fine dining meets circus whimsy, and it’s all the better for it. Chef Max Strohe’s playful, artful take on gastronomy combines serious technical skill with a cheeky irreverence. The name itself, a nod to the painter Toulouse-Lautrec, sets the tone: expect surprises, humor, and creativity at every turn.

Tulus Lotrek: Where Whimsy Meets Culinary Artistry

The space is warm and inviting, as if you’ve been welcomed into the stylish apartment of a friend with Michelin-level ambitions. Quirky artwork, intimate tables, and an open kitchen buzzing with energy create a setting that’s refreshingly unpretentious. This isn’t white-tablecloth territory—Tulus Lotrek invites you to laugh, drink, and delight in the unexpected.

And the food? Whimsy with a side of brilliance. A venison tartare topped with shaved truffles is so decadently rich, it’s practically a guilt trip. Then there’s the signature foie gras donut: a savory-sweet creation that’s as stunning to look at as it is to eat. If Berlin has an Instagram dish of the year, this might just be it.

Not everything is flawless—a fish course featuring char could have benefited from more acidity, and a deconstructed Pavlova teetered on being overly clever—but the hits far outweigh the misses. Co-owner and sommelier Ilona Scholl’s wine pairings elevate the experience further, with natural wines that push boundaries while feeling perfectly attuned to each dish. A sparkling German rosé paired with the foie gras donut was so brilliant, it almost felt like a crime.

Tulus Lotrek’s genius lies in its ability to mix contradictions: fine dining that’s approachable, dishes that are both serious and fun, and a Michelin star that feels weightless in its execution. It’s a place to linger, laugh, and savor the joy of great food served without pretense. In a city built on reinvention, Tulus Lotrek feels like it’s always belonged—a home for the bold, the curious, and the hungry.

Great restaurant, classical cooking techniques, but with a twist. For instance, they are not afraid of pungency.
