Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!

Was für ein tolles Essen, unglaublich guter Service, schönes Ambiente. Ich kann nur gutes berichten! Muss man selbst erlebt haben. Unbedingt reservieren, am besten bereits 1-2 Wochen zuvor. Immer voll!

Pros: Nur vegane Optionen, Zero Waste Küche, Gehobener Standard

Looks good, but the taste is disappointing

Except for the dessert, the taste of the courses were ok or not good.
For example, they put a raw carrot on the plate as one of the center pieces. The combinations of the courses were neither interesting nor a fit. The seasoning needs improvement.

When we handed in the critic, the male server came back and told us how we were wrong. In general, he had a condescending attitude.

For this price range, I expected more. I would compare it to a normal vegan restaurant, that is expensive, but it has nothing to do with fine dining.

Pros: Nice decoration

Cons: Not tasty, expensive for what you get...

Waste less fine dining

We had reserved an outside place, but due to weather issues this could easily be changed to indoor seating. The staff was friendly and well organized. There was always fresh water on the table.
I had the four course meal with the wine pairing and each course was quite delicious and we were quite full afterwards. Love the concept and the Food. The prices are fine dining like.

Pros: Fully vegan, Zero waste

Cons: Fine dining prices

1A Essen, Atmosphäre und Service

Bereits beim Betreten des Lokals würden wir sehr herzlich begrüßt. Das Restaurant ist vorwiegend in warmen Tönen mit viel Holz und Pflanzen eingerichtet, was sofort eine gemütliche Atmosphäre zaubert.
Wir haben uns für das Drei-Gänge-Menü entschieden und unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen: leckere, saisonale Speisen, die sehr kreativ kombiniert und obendrein ansprechend präsentiert werden. Mengenmäßig haben die drei Gänge uns trotz der recht kleinen Portionen mehr als ausgereicht.
Der Service war ebenfalls während des ganzen Abends hervorragend. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Pros: Vegane, saisonale Speisen

Cons: Vergleichsweise kleine Portionen

One of my favorites

Frea has become one of my favorite restaurants in Berlin. The staff is always very friendly, the interior is nice, the food is delicious (it’s not just vegan, but healthy plant-based cuisine) and above all it’s zero waste!
My only wish is for one or two more gluten-free options as well as more options of fresh juices.
Besides that it’s perfection here!

Delicious food

Really amazing food and such a nice concept.
Three starters, three mains, two desserts, a great selection of wine.
Everything we tried was extremely tasty.
The staff is nice, they have found us a table without a reservation on a week night.

Pros: Incredible taste

Cons: Small portions, Expensive, Loong waiting time

A restaurant the way it should be

This place is incredible. Local, organic, seasonal, no-waste, vegan, craft beers and natural wines. I was brought here as a surprise by my partner for my birthday not knowing what to expect and I was just simply amazed. The food is haute cuisine and was outstanding. The natural red wine from the Palatinate was out of this world. Do not miss this place!

Pros: Organic, local, no-waste, vegan, haute cuisine

Cons: Acoustics, Raised prices since the last time

What a dream, FREA I love you !!

Sadly my one experience was lunch (which I believe they discontinued) on a scorching hot August day. Everything was DELICIOUS and the staff was so nice and helpful. Absolute gem. Can’t wait to return!

4 Stars!

It was really tasty and I really appreciate the zero waste concept! But imo portions are too small. I would rather pay a little bit more and get a bigger portion. Staff was nice!

Zero waste, regional, fresh food. Very nice interior, incredibly friendly staff explaining what you are going to eat. Composting machine in front of the toilets to take a look at.

Fine dinner

Very fine dinning in a cosy restaurant. The dishes were all fragrant and each ingredient complement the other very elegantly. The value of the restaurant are also very nice as the place is Zero Waste and has its own compost. We very much enjoyed ourselves and only regretted not staying long enough in Berlin to come back

All the menu is vegan

Pros: Values (Zero Waste), Fresh ingredients

Cons: Tend to be busy

Zero Waste - Zero Complaints

We reserved a table here for my birthday and Frea had been on my list for a long time. It didn't disappoint: The food was great (just a bit too salty for me), service was great and I was able to buy their AMAZING sourdough bread to take home at the end. Highly recommend to eat at Frea - the whole concept is so inspiring.

Very nice restaurant

First things first: you need to reserve a table to eat there.
Apart from that, the food was delicious and innovative and the staff was friendly and attentive. One thing that bothered me though was the fact that the portions were kind of small and therefore, the meals were overpriced.

Pros: Very nice and attentive staff, Delicious food, Concept: seasonal, regional, zero waste

Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Délicieux

Déjà conquise par l'initiative du 0 déchet, je l'étais encore plus par les plats absolument délicieux! Les plats sont travaillés, différents des restaurants vegan classiques. Nous n'avions pas réservé, nous étions sur le point de partir quand le serveur nous a rattrapé pour nous offrir une table. Vraiment gentil. L'endroit est assez classe, les prix correspondent à la qualité des plats. Vraiment, à tester, mais avant, réservez!

Pros: Plats délicieux , Ambiance/lieu, Personnel gentil

Very unique!

Even for a city like Berlin frea is absolutely unique since it’s the first zero waste restaurant in Germany!
They also offer lots of fermented foods (and even [censored]) which are all homemade and pretty amazing.
Loved it!

Love the vibe

Large vegan cafe in the heart of Berlin. I went for lunch. I was told that this is the last week for lunch. They are going to be dinner only restaurant. The place smells great from the open kitchen

The food quality was a 5
Speed if service 2
Freindly staff 4
English speaking staff 5
Atmosphere 4
Menu option 3


Their 3 course lunch special a great deal. 13 Euros for soup, main and a drink I skipped the bread because it was not gluten free. They had 2 option O had a delightful lentils with mashed potatoes.

Pros: All vegan, High food quality

Cons: Limited menu, Slow service
