From February 19 to March 1, Berlin once again becomes a center of culinary art during the 15th gastronomic festival Eat Berlin 2026.
Restaurants, eateries and other food establishments across various districts of Berlin turn into venues for a large-scale celebration for gourmets during this period. More than 100 renowned chefs from different regions of Germany and from abroad present their refined and unique culinary creations.
The Eat Berlin festival, launched in 2011 on the initiative of a group of Berlin restaurateurs, entrepreneurs and sommeliers, initially consisted of around 40 gastronomic events across the capital. Over time, it evolved into a major and highly anticipated event where visitors can not only enjoy the artistry of outstanding chefs but also explore the world of professional winemakers, discover national cuisines and appreciate the diversity of exotic dishes.
The festival is rightly regarded as a true celebration for connoisseurs of high-level gastronomy, offering an unforgettable “journey for gourmets” that introduces new culinary discoveries against a “symphony” of carefully selected ingredients. Many experts in the hospitality industry recognize the significant value of such festivals. They provide an effective platform for direct dialogue between producers and consumers, as well as for professional exchange among specialists from around the world.
These popular events also encourage the emergence of new formats, such as “national cuisine days” or master classes by renowned Küchenmeister – a historical term referring to a culinary position at European royal courts. At the same time, they stimulate interest in new products and in the revival of traditional recipes.
This year, the Eat Berlin program features a number of remarkable events, including a specialized “Sparkling Wine Fair,” elegant gala dinners, engaging master classes, professional wine tastings, as well as thematic discussions and various cultural and entertainment activities.
