Volt
by James Glazebrook
As far as we’re concerned, the “Christ” in Christmas still stands for something – as in, “Christ, we’ve eaten SO much!” A few days and many kilos ago, we started the season’s eatings in style, with a slap-up meal at Landwehrkanal eatery Volt. Zoë’s family and I enjoyed a modern take on traditional meat/fish and veg in the stunning surroundings of what appears to be a converted factory. I *nailed* my menu selections with the salad of rabbit followed venison; my only regret was eating so much delicious bread (with pistachio butter!) that I didn’t have room for a desert of dark chocolate and orange. Amazing food, amazing backdrop, amazing company. Recommended!
The building was erected by architect Hans Heinrich Müller between 1924 and 1926 as the first transformer station of the Berliner Städtische Elektrizitätswerke AG (“Umspannwerk Kreuzberg”). Given up in 1989 the building has been renovated and re-opened in 2002 as event location.
Thanks for the info Onnola! Great to have the backstory to the place
That looks absolutely fantastic – food and decor – thanks for the tip.
