In Vienna, there’s an excellent restaurant called Mraz & Sohn — if you happen to be traveling there any time soon. Amelie and Alan met there and then moved to Berlin in the summer of 2023 — luckily for us Berliners. Here, they founded their artistic-culinary duo Studio Schmaus and offer conceptual catering, events and private dining experiences, all with regional products from small, fine producers that they know personally. Sounds fantastic? It is. We were able to find out for ourselves at our first Berlin Bites Dinner, where Amelie and Alan created a course menu for our guests. If you don’t have an occasion to book catering but you’re already working up an appetite reading this, we recommend the beer dinner they’ve organized with Schneeeule. The small Berliner Weisse brewery still brews with the yeasts of the last traditional Berliner Weisse manufactory yeasts. This small business has come under a bit of pressure in recent years. To prevent closure, there is a crowdfunding campaign and the aforementioned beer dinner: food and a toast for a good cause. All proceeds go to the small brewery and its brewer Ulrike. Amelie and Alan cook with verve and vegetarian ingredients. And if you can’t get tickets, don’t feel you’ve missed out, the pair are opening their own studio space in Kreuzberg in July 2024. A space for events, collaborations and experiments — so many more dinners will follow.
