Das Hoven

Das Hoven operates as a culinary sanctuary in Berlin’s Kreuzköllner Kiez, where the aroma of daily-baked sourdough and brioche sets a welcoming tone. The kitchen’s philosophy centers on ingredient-led simplicity, executed with refined technique. A standout dish is the hash browns Florentine, where the potatoes are grated and fried to a precise, lacy crunch, topped with perfectly poached eggs and a silken hollandaise. For dinner, the beetroot tagliatelle showcases a vibrant earthiness, the pasta tossed in a light cream sauce that balances the root vegetable’s natural sweetness. Texture is a recurring theme, from the soft, pillowy crumb of their homemade bread to the crisp snap of seasonal salads. The menu is thoughtfully inclusive, featuring a range of vegan options like the pulled mushroom sandwich, which utilizes slow-roasting techniques to achieve a savory, meat-like depth. It is a space where queer culture and high-quality gastronomy converge seamlessly.
