Fancy and artsy - Edit
When we first arrived at the address, it just looked like a few boutique shops next to each other without a sign of a restaurant. I had to check their website to find out that we indeed had to walk down the alleyway to the left of the shops, turn right, left, and then right again. There is plenty of bike parking in front of the entrance at the end of the alleyway, so you don’t need to park it far away on the street.
Read moreAlthough considered a fine dining experience, the atmosphere was relaxed and inclusive, which I appreciated. You can dress up or down as you please. The staff were all very kind and tried to accommodate my partner’s request to finish our 7+1-course meal in under three hours since he had to meet up with a friend who was leaving the next day. Everything is presented beautifully, and I was impressed with the non-alcoholic pairings. They really put a lot of effort into each dish and beverage! Our +1 course was the one with seaweed caviar. My omni partner went with the onsen egg version, and I enjoyed the miso cucumber vegan version. Don’t miss this signature dish!

Fine dining in Berlin - Edit
We had the 7 course menu and it was really nice.
Read moreThe venue is really difficult to find. Down an alley at the side of the opera house by the bins. Then you go through a dark bar area to the restaurant upstairs.
As it is a fine dining establishment I was a little sad to see so many people dressed casually. It’s a dining experience and you should dress accordingly.
For the actual food though we had the 7 courses and it was timed very well by the staff to last for 2 1/2 hours
We had three cold dishes and 3 warm with a desert at the end. I could have done without two of the cold dishes as they were not as delicious as the other courses. That being said the food is great.
It was expensive but that’s what you get when a venue gets a Michelin star

A real experience - Edit
High quality vegan food. It was really a food experience. So much flavors and textures. Very different than I’m used to.

Outstanding food experience - Edit
Simply delicious. I had to remortgage my house and spend the children’s’ inheritance but it was well worth it. Ignore the biased reviews below re not worth a Michelin star - it’s a culinary treat to do once in a lifetime for a vegan or veggie.

Mind-blowing! - Edit
So exciting to have such interesting high quality food for vegans and vegetarians! We got the full 7-course tasting menu and the wine pairing with it - highly recommended! Even though many of the wines weren't great on their own (and the servers were really frugal with the size of glasses they poured), the unique tastes in the wine really helped to compliment the food and turn the whole thing into a truly sensual taste explosion! It was pure food art!

First of all the staff was only smiling and really attentive. I felt welcome since the first moment! The diner was one of my best vegetarian experiences since a long time, so many different flavours and textures!! This is a creative menu you don’t want to miss!! Every dish from the menu is also possible in a vegan option, even the butter and it tastes so goooood

Wish it was all vegan! - Edit
I came with a couple of open-minded omnivore friends. They got the full 7 courses. I opted for getting the first 5, which were all vegan. I don’t like sweets so I was fine just skipping dessert. The dishes were all so beautiful— a visual and gustatory art! The first course, the potato and the last course, the celeriac, were my favorites. The celeriac had a verjus glaze that gave it a delicious tartness and it was served something lemony, might have been a chutney. loved it. The bell pepper dish was also very unique. It had some pepper sorbet in the middle giving it this combination of flavors, textures, and temperatures unlike anything I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion.
Read morePS Just let your waiter know you’d like to order vegan and they’ll let you know which dishes are vegan or what they can substitute. They will bring you vegan butter for your bread.
Cons: They use egg for some dishes

An experience of special tastes - Edit
As Hamburg does not have any veggie Michelin star restaurants we combined our Berlin trip with the visit in Cookies Cream. Initially we wanted to go to Lucky Leek, but decided against it, since their website failed to mention that their menu is vegan.
Read moreWe had some difficulty to find the entrance, even though the description on the website actually said everything you needed to know. Still the location is quite unusual for a restaurant and a sign or arrow pointing us in the right direction would have been appreciated. Once found, we were greeted and offered a drink in the bar until our waiter got our table, one floor up, ready. We decided for the 5 course menu which consisted of
Potato Cevice, Braised peppers, Courgette flower, Beetroot and Mango and Fragola. Due to my immense distaste for vinegar, I despised the first course, the rest was good, we especially liked the 3rd and 4th course. The service was quite quick. The portions could have been bigger as the 5 courses plus a basket with bread and butter in the beginning were not filling enough. The waiters were dressed rather casually and some "only" spoke English or at least no German.
What I would love for the next time is to have 3 savory courses and 2 dessert courses!😄
Pros: Friendly staff, Unique food creations, Interesting location
Cons: Expensive , 7,5 € for a bottle of water, also serves vegetarian

Five hours in heaven - Edit
This was my second visit to Cookies Cream, and it was wonderful. There were six of us for a special dinner and it ended up being a five hour experience. The food and service were, of course, exceptional. The restaurant has a new head chef since September, and a new manager as well. The flavors and presentation... my god. I wasn't aware that a potato could do that. And we had a *turnip* that looked and tasted so meaty it was unreal. A few of my friends opted for the wine pairing, while I had the non-alcoholic pairing. There has been real time and thought put into how these drinks compliment the food, in a way I have not experienced many places before. I particularly like that from the bar downstairs to the dining room on the first floor, everyone is incredibly professional, but not stuffy. We enjoyed our time chatting with the bartender, servers and the manager. It's not an inexpensive outing, but it's a memorable one that all of us agreed was entirely worth it.

Top quality veg/vegan taste experience - Edit
Cookies Cream is a super high-end dining experience (with the prices to match) that delivers a true taste experience. Both the food and the service are top-notch. That said, what it does not provide is an actual meal that satisfies hunger. The deal is a basic tasting menu of several micro-courses. The more substantial fare (or so it seems by the photographs) are available at add-on prices.
Read moreSo, by all means, go to this restaurant, but be prepared to spend a lot of money (at least 120 Euros each) and time (the service is leisurely, which can be a plus for a special occasion). And perhaps plan on a snack after 😉
Pros: Top notch, high end dining, Great quality , Excellent service
Cons: You might leave hungry…, Super expensive

nice - Edit
the vegan menu was excellenct. they could offer a few more non-alcoholic beverages/cocktails. the dessert was a little underwhelming but everything else was tasty. I didn‘t love the atmosphere and disco-style interior. It was pretty noisy and I would have preferred no music. It was a good experience but I wouldn‘t go back. Prefer Oukan Dining over this.

Good food, but service lacking - Edit
I wish I could have loved this as much as I should have, but I am comparing to Ark (in Copenhagen) that I was at in November which was a master class in service. There was something distant with CC’s service I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I will say, the cabbage with vadouvan was one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life.

First Michelin Experience - Edit
As a vegan you don't encounter Michelinrated restaurants that much, so Cookies Cream was our chance.
Read moreWe had a lovely evening and the food was really good. We are not really used to spending so much money on food, but the originality of the food makes it (kind of) worth it.
I had the special non-alcoholic drinks pairing. I would not take that option again....
Pros: Great experience, Nice location, Good food
Cons: Non-alcoholic drinks pairing not really worth it

Perfect for special occasions - Edit
I’ve never been to such a fancy restaurant. But it was a special day for me, so this was perfect!
Read moreTo me this is not a “normal” restaurant - it’s something for special occasions. Also, this is why I don’t get some of these ratings and statements, that people left here.
Is vegan food supposed to be cheap? Not sure.
The food was delicious - some I liked more, some dishes less, but still a very nice menu! The drinks were perfect hehe!
Also: the nicest staff ever. Alberto - you are such a sweetheart😄and We even got a 15€ dish for free as they said our main course would take some more time.

Amazing Michelin experience - Edit
I agree with the reviewers below that the place is very hard to find and very strange to enter. You go inside a garage where there were rats! Hardly the kind of place you want to enter for a fine meal. However the food is phenomenal and that’s what we came for. A true foodie experience. Yes the food is intensely flavored - umami *10 comes to mind. If you like savory umami flavors you will love it. If you are more into bland food- well you won’t. Highly recommend.

Not worth a star - Edit
I have eaten at a dozen one / two star Michelin star restaurants and this one is sadly not worth a visit. It felt underwhelming in all regards. The cuisine lacked the certain something and most of the wines where mediocre. The decor will remind you of your parents basement. I feel some shame that I spent €300 at such a bad restaurant. I confident to call it a rip off.
