Fischer & Lustig

For those navigating the high-stakes agenda of late February, the eat! Berlin 2026 festival (Feb 19 – March 1) offers a masterclass in culinary diplomacy. A standout highlight is the „Butt bei die Fische“ evening on February 26 at Fischer & Lustig in the Nikolaiviertel. The event pairs the technical precision of Michelin-starred guest chef Marcel Kube with the regional expertise of Holger Mootz, creating a five-course „Sea-to-Table“ menu that elevates traditional North German fare into a sophisticated international format. Interspersed with the dry, sharp-witted punchlines of comedian Manuel Butt, the evening serves as a quintessential Berlin experience: where technical excellence meets unpretentious ground-level realism – proving that the city’s most impactful dialogues often occur over a perfectly executed plate.
