I can't remember how I ended up choosing Volt for our anniversary dinner while we were in Berlin, but I liked the photos and thought it sounded pretty nice without being wanky. It's a large restaurant with a mezzanine seating area which is where they sat us. It felt a little bit like being in a cage but I've eaten in weirder locations, and actually it was quite a nice place to sit, looking over the restaurant and having a bit of privacy. We'd booked for 6pm (I don't know why) and we were the only people there for at least an hour, if not more. That was a little awkward and we actually wondered if they'd opened the restaurant just for us. They hadn't, thank god. We were served a glass of bubbles to start which was nice, as well as quite a few complimentary tasters. The first was served on a box with rocks which was kind of unusual and we were really impressed with the flavours from the outset. Each dish was explained by the waitress and they were happy to answer questions too. There's three set menus to choose from, or you can order a simple entree/main. If you're dining as a couple you don't need to order the same set menu, so we ordered one of each of the meat 5 course menus each. I actually really liked the sound of the vegetarian option but decided at the last minute to go with the first meat menu. Each set menu has one option that you can choose (e.g. a choice between two mains or two desserts) which gives it a nice feeling of customisation. I really enjoyed being able to try both dishes for each course and often I preferred the menu that Graeme had ordered. Stand out dishes for me were the zander & artichoke (mainly because I had no idea what zander even was, so that was pretty exciting. It's fish), seared whitefish with spinach, oats & brown butter and both the desserts - the cheeses and the plum/goats cheese. Service was friendly and helpful and very polite. I really enjoyed our meal here and while it was pricey (over €200) we were celebrating a special occasion, and it was nice to try out some modern German cuisine. read more
