Restaurant in Berlin, Germany
Two-year Michelin streak. Book early.
hallmann & klee holds a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025 and prices at €€€ — a tier below most of its Berlin starred peers. Chef Guillermo Tellez runs a seasonal modern cuisine kitchen in Neukölln that delivers consistent quality across 763 Google reviews. Book early: this is one of Berlin's harder tables to secure, and it earns the effort for a special occasion dinner.
Getting a table at hallmann & klee is genuinely difficult, and that difficulty is proportionate to the reward. This is a Michelin one-star restaurant in Neukölln — not a central Berlin address, not an easy walk from a major hotel — and it books out weeks in advance. If you are planning a special occasion dinner and want a starred room that feels like a discovery rather than a fixture on the tourist circuit, the effort is worth making. Book early, plan your visit around what is in season, and go in knowing this is one of the more considered modern cuisine experiences the city offers.
hallmann & klee sits on Böhmische Strasse 13, in Neukölln, a neighbourhood that has shifted considerably over the past decade and now holds its own as a destination for serious eating. Chef Guillermo Tellez leads the kitchen, and the restaurant has held its Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025 , a consecutive recognition that signals consistency, not a one-year anomaly. For a special occasion dinner in Berlin, that kind of track record matters more than a single accolade.
The €€€ price point is one of the most relevant facts on this page. Among Berlin's Michelin-starred restaurants, the majority of hallmann & klee's direct competitors , Rutz, Nobelhart & Schmutzig, Horváth, and FACIL , price at €€€€. hallmann & klee sits a tier below on price while holding equivalent star recognition. That gap is the core value argument for booking here: you are accessing the same quality tier at a lower outlay.
The editorial angle that matters most for planning your visit is seasonality. hallmann & klee operates in the modern cuisine format, which means the menu shifts with what is available, and the experience in March is meaningfully different from the experience in September. The current season is the right frame for thinking about when to go. Winter and early spring in Berlin lean toward root vegetables, preserved ingredients, and richer preparations. Late spring through autumn bring lighter compositions and more produce-forward plates. Neither period is wrong, but if you have flexibility, late spring through early autumn tends to show modern cuisine kitchens at their most varied. Book for the season that suits your preferences, and check whether the menu has recently changed before you go , a restaurant of this calibre updates its offering regularly, and going in with current expectations matters.
Google rating of 4.6 across 763 reviews is a practical trust signal: this is not a restaurant with a thin review base inflated by early enthusiasm. Over 700 data points at 4.6 indicates consistent execution across a wide range of diners, not just the kind of crowd that gives stars reflexively to anything with a Michelin badge. For a special occasion, that consistency is what you are paying for.
Neukölln is not where most visitors to Berlin stay, so build the logistics into your planning. The restaurant is at Böhmische Str. 13, and the area is well-connected by U-Bahn. If you are coming from central Berlin or a hotel near Mitte, allow around 25-30 minutes. This is worth factoring in for a dinner reservation where you do not want to arrive rushed. Booking is hard , treat this like a Paris or London starred reservation and contact them as soon as your dates are confirmed. There is no available booking method data in the public record, so go directly to the venue to confirm their current reservation process.
For context on how this compares to the broader German starred scene, restaurants like Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, Aqua in Wolfsburg, and JAN in Munich are all operating at higher star counts and higher price tiers. hallmann & klee is not competing at that level on paper, but its price-to-star ratio within Berlin is among the most favourable you will find. If you want to benchmark internationally, modern cuisine restaurants at this price and recognition tier , think along the lines of Maison Lameloise in Chagny , consistently deliver the format hallmann & klee is working in.
Within Berlin itself, the restaurant sits alongside aerde and SKYKITCHEN as part of a generation of restaurants pushing Berlin's fine dining offer beyond its traditional anchors.

The bottom line: hallmann & klee is the clearest value argument among Berlin's Michelin-starred restaurants right now. It is not the easiest table to get, it is not in the most convenient location, and it does not have the name recognition of some of the city's longer-established rooms. All of that works in your favour. Book it for a date night, an anniversary, or a business dinner where the food needs to do the talking , and book it before you arrive in Berlin.
See the comparison section below for how hallmann & klee stacks up against its Berlin peers.
Yes, at the €€€ tier it is the strongest value argument among Berlin's starred restaurants. Most of its Michelin-starred peers , Rutz, FACIL, Horváth , price at €€€€. You are accessing the same level of recognition for less. The 4.6 rating across 763 Google reviews confirms the kitchen delivers consistently, not just for critics. For a special occasion where the food needs to justify the spend, this is one of the easier yes decisions in the city.
No dress code is confirmed in the public record, but a Michelin-starred room at the €€€ price point in Berlin reads as smart casual at minimum. Berlin's fine dining scene is less formal than Paris or London equivalents , you do not need a jacket , but you will feel underdressed in trainers and a t-shirt. Aim for the level you would wear to a serious dinner with someone you want to impress.
There is no confirmed bar seating information in the public record. Given the restaurant's booking difficulty and the fact that it operates as a destination modern cuisine venue rather than a neighbourhood bistro, walk-in bar seating is not something to rely on. Contact the restaurant directly to ask about counter or bar options before you arrive expecting flexibility.
No group booking policy is confirmed publicly. At a small Michelin-starred restaurant in this price tier, large groups are typically not the format , most starred rooms in Berlin prioritise tables of two to four. If you are planning for six or more, contact the restaurant well in advance to confirm capacity and whether a private arrangement is possible. For larger celebration dinners, Hugos may be a more practical option.
Rutz is the most direct alternative if you want a higher star count and are willing to pay €€€€. Nobelhart & Schmutzig is better if you want a strong point-of-view concept and a wine-led experience. Horváth suits diners who want modern Austrian inflections at two-star level. FACIL is the better call for business dinners where a hotel setting and central location matter. For something with a more experimental edge, CODA Dessert Dining is in a category of its own. See our full Berlin restaurants guide for a broader view.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Group bookings at a 1-star restaurant in a neighbourhood setting like Neukölln are typically constrained by room size — expect limited capacity for parties above four. check the venue's official channels at Böhmische Str. 13 to confirm availability before planning a group occasion around it. For larger gatherings, Rutz or FACIL may offer more flexible private dining arrangements.
Nobelhart & Schmutzig is the closest in spirit — a counter-led, chef-driven format in Berlin with strong tasting menu credentials. Rutz and Horváth both hold Michelin recognition and suit guests who want more formal room service with comparable price points. FACIL is the right call if you want a quieter, hotel-backed setting. CODA Dessert Dining is worth considering if you want something genuinely unusual at the €€€ tier.
Bar or counter seating availability at hallmann & klee is not confirmed in available venue data. Given that this is a Michelin-starred restaurant operating in a compact Neukölln space, walk-in bar dining is unlikely to be a reliable option. Book a table through the venue directly at Böhmische Str. 13, Neukölln.
At €€€ and with back-to-back Michelin stars in 2024 and 2025, hallmann & klee is delivering at a level that justifies the spend — particularly if you want Michelin-tier cooking in a neighbourhood rather than a hotel dining room. Chef Guillermo Tellez has built a consistent record here, which matters when you're committing at this price point. If you want comparable credentials at a more central location, Rutz is the direct alternative to weigh.
Dress expectations at hallmann & klee are not formally stated in available data, but a Michelin-starred modern cuisine restaurant in Neukölln suggests a relaxed but considered approach — think contemporary casual rather than formal dress. Avoid overly casual sportswear; the room and price point warrant some effort. Berlin's fine dining scene broadly skews less formal than Paris or London equivalents at the same star level.
