Horváth

Berlin, Germany

Saunter along Berlin's Landwehr Canal to discover this idiosyncratic icon of Kreuzberg's food scene. A cosy dining room provides contrast to a menu that feels rebellious. Austrian chef Sebastian Frank combines myriad textures and flavours in a modern vegetable-driven twist on his country's heritage dishes. His aim? Free ingredients from their preconceived ties or, as it's termed on the restaurant website: 'emancipate vegetable cuisine'. Case in point, his Young and Old Celeriac – salt-baked root aged for a year before being shaved, like truffle, over the young, steamed incarnation. Other picks include mushroom liver with apple balm; and caraway meringue with woodruff and sour ice cream. There's a shorter Quick 'n' Dirty set menu – both come with a wine pairing, the list focusing on rarities from Eastern Europe, Germany and Austria, particularly from biodynamic winemakers. For a fearless, fresh meal, this is it.
