Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berliner Zeitung. 52.47850, 13.42378.

Practical

The address is Weisestraße 58, 12049 Berlin. The official site accepts reservations. The current menu lists hummus at €8, chopped salad at €8, beluga lentils at €9, freekeh with burnt aubergine at €12, and malabi at €6.50, with prices checked on 2026-08-02. The current sources recommend reservations or list a booking option, while queue conditions are UNVERIFIED. [1][2][3][4]

Times and seasons

The restaurant opens at noon from Thursday through Sunday and at 17:00 from Monday through Wednesday. The sources give no reliable seasonal difference, so that point is UNVERIFIED. [1][2]

Who it suits, and when

The menu suits vegan and vegetarian diners and people who want a plant-based Middle Eastern meal. People seeking meat or dairy dishes may avoid it because the current offer is plant-based. A rough visit takes 60 to 120 minutes, based on the shared-plate menu, and this is an estimate. [1][2][3]

What is not obvious

The official name also refers to a café and restaurant founded in 1938. [1]

History

Café Pilz GmbH was registered on 4 February 2020, and the company record lists Heiner Klemm and Itamar Anton Pilz in management. The official site connects the name to a historical 1938 café, while the sources do not document the earlier business in detail, so that part is UNVERIFIED. [1][2]
