Unlike traditional tourism or restaurant associations, eat! berlin is driven by independent chefs, sommeliers, entrepreneurs, and food enthusiasts with a shared vision. That is to create a festival that reflects Berlin’s diverse gastronomy scene and spirit. The organisation behind the event includes head sommelier and festival manager Bernhard Moser, managing director Sina Moser, and co‑founders Claudia and Siegbert Mattheis, who shape the festival’s public image and design.

Over its previous editions, eat! berlin has grown into a major cultural highlight for food lovers, drawing thousands of visitors to a programme of events featuring top local and international chefs, wine tastings, themed dinners and expert conversations. While the 2026 itinerary runs city‑wide, it also maintains a grassroots ethos that puts Berlin’s own producers and culinary innovators at the centre of the festival.

Event management for eat! berlin is handled by long‑time hospitality professionals, including Kerstin Beckmann, whose experience in Berlin’s top wine bars and restaurants feeds into the festival’s dynamic mix of tasting events, showcases and social gatherings. The festival’s ten‑day format is designed not only for gourmets but for anyone curious about contemporary culinary culture in one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals.

With eat! berlin 2026 running into early March, the city’s gastronomy community comes together to highlight both high‑end culinary artistry and the convivial spirit that defines Berlin’s food scene. From wine lovers and fine‑dining enthusiasts to curious newcomers, the festival offers a rich, inclusive exploration of taste, creativity and culinary culture
