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 “The Aunt on the Sidewalk”. Croatian flavored Burgers and small 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.
