Food

Dominik Matokanovic is responsible for our cuisine. And he presents at Tante Fichte a cuisine with character, based on the classic French techniques of his training and combining the best regional products with influences of Croatian cuisine. Of course, this is no coincidence. Rather, his family is behind it, because they originally come from Croatia. From countless vacations, Dominik knows above all the traditional village cuisine of the East, which is strongly influenced by the former Ottoman Empire. And this has influenced him so much that individual components of this cuisine flow into his creations today. At the same time, Dominik prefers to use the products that the Berlin region provides him with – because this has been his home since 2016.

On Fridays and Saturdays, a signature menu consisting of five to seven courses is served, either with whatever the region and season have to offer, or purely vegetarian. On Wednesdays and Thursdays you can also enjoy our a la carte menu. In good weather, we also serve our “Abendbrot – The Aunt on the Sidewalk”. Rustic dishes are then served on the sidewalk or at our bar. We do not serve a vegan menu variant, because butter is a matter of the heart for us. Reservations make life easier for you and for us. Please indicate any intolerances when making your reservation and let us know if you prefer to avoid meat and fish.

Beelitzer Asparagus / Magnolia
Salad of raw asparagus with magnolia blossom, roasted asparagus, and a broth made from juiced asparagus with pickled magnolia blossoms and a hint of lavender oil.

Risi Bisi
Everyone knows Risi Bisi, right? Rice with peas. We prepare our Rizot, the Istrian term for risotto, using pearl barley. Enhanced with fresh peas, goat cheese, and Belper Knolle. This is a cheese specialty from Switzerland.

Punjena Paprika / Škuta / Rice
One of Dominik’s family’s favorite dishes. We prepare peppers stuffed with feta cheese and grains, enhanced with puffed rice and Paprikaš broth.

Sarma / Chicory
Sarma are actually fermented cabbage rolls filled with minced meat and rice. We serve our very own vegetarian twist on the classic: chicory is wrapped and filled with a ragout of braised chicory. Seasoned with cloves, allspice, and pepper. Accompanied by a sauce made from the black walnut brine.

Mušmula / poor mans Olives / Honey
Mušmula are Croatian medlars. There is a medlar sorbet, a medlar ragout, seasoned with “poor man’s olives”. These are unripe plums that are pickled like olives. Additionally, there is angel hair pasta and a sauce made with honey and olive brine.
