Do you have two beating hearts? One beating for the traditional foods of your (adopted) German homeland, the other beating for the delicacies of the UK? Then St. Bart is the perfect eatery for you. Located at the lower end of the Graefekiez, this pub-meets-restaurant has been serving fine seasonal British-German cuisine since August 2017. Divided into “small plates” and “large plates,” tasty German temptations such as smoked eel with fennel or Himmel und Erde (“Heaven and Earth”) can be found on the menu in perfect harmony with British culinary delights like Scotch eggs and ham hock terrine. Our tip: come with at least a party of four so that you can share everything. The conversation about the food alone will fill the entire evening as every dish is somewhat of an embodiment of a specific texture or taste. The fried chicken is crispier than crisp, the “burnt Jerusalem artichoke” is not for novices, and the pavlova is the epitome of delicious fluff. By staying true to their cuisine and offering us an unwavering concept, St. Bart provides a true culinary experience that is both down-to-earth and contemporary. Their wine selection is genuine as well: each glass has its own distinct character. The cocktails too are tempting, and the large bar at the entrance lends itself well to a start, or end, of evening drink. I must say, I’m a big fan of this two-state solution.
