Welcome to Faelt, the culinary jewel in the heart of Berlin’s “Akazienkiez” neighborhood.
Faelt has been awarded a Michelin star since March 2021 and is known for simply doing certain things a bit differently . because we don’t wanna be your “typical” Michelin starred restaurant 🙂
We are no hipsters, no dogmatists and simply appreciate very good craftsmanship, a relaxed atmosphere and kind service for the benefit of our guests.
If there’s no availability on a certain date, please write is on email – most of the time we’ll find a solution in your best interest.

German-American with Swedish roots. Star chef. Family man. Entrepreneur. Berliner.
My way into the catering trade was unconventional and maybe that’s why it was crowned with success. Looking at things differently, thinking “outside the box” and always acting in a solution-oriented manner have always been attributes that have distinguished me from other chefs. I never see problems, only opportunities and solutions. This has enabled us as a company to expand in the middle of the pandemic and to consolidate our market position.
I don’t need false luxury or status symbolism in my restaurants. What we and I want to stand for is very simple: cordiality. Perfect authentic service and to the point, clear taste – paired with traditional craftsmanship.
Jan has been head chef at ‘FAELTküche’ since August 2023 and has been putting his very own stamp on it ever since. Working closely with Björn, he creates menus that Berlin has never seen before. Since its opening, FAELT has always done things a little differently, but thanks to Jan, this line is now even more clearly defined.
Jan and Björn not only share a love of clear umami flavours, but also a very formative period under Christian Lohse at the two-starred Fischers Fritz – where Jan completed his apprenticeship. This was followed by long spells as sous chef at Cookies and his first head chef position at TISK.
