FACIL Berlin

An Oasis of Culinary Art at Potsdamer Platz

In the vibrant heart of Berlin, nestled within the elegant architecture of The Mandala Hotel, the restaurant FACIL unfolds as a true oasis for fine‑dining enthusiasts. Since its opening in July 2001, FACIL has stood for a cuisine that masterfully unites light elegance, puristic luxury, and modern avant‑garde. Under the leadership of two‑Michelin‑star chef Michael Kempf and his team, guests embark on a culinary journey defined by finesse and creativity. The menus — ranging from five to eight courses — celebrate premium ingredients in their purest form and allow flavors to melt on the tongue. The philosophy: the lightness of being, expressed through a cuisine that is natural, unpretentious, and ingeniously crafted. FACIL is not only a place of indulgence but also a retreat from everyday life. Surrounded by bamboo, glass, and reflecting water surfaces, the restaurant offers an atmosphere of calm and focus — perfect for anyone who views gastronomy as an experience. With accolades such as 2 Michelin stars, 10 Gusto pans, 4 Gault&Millau toques, and a place among Germany’s best restaurants, FACIL remains a cornerstone of Berlin’s top culinary scene.

At FACIL on Potsdamer Platz, Michael Kempf delights guests with cuisine defined by lightness, precision, and creative depth. The Executive Chef — who earned his second Michelin star in 2013 — balances international influences with regional finesse, always relying on ingredients that meet the highest standards. A particular favorite of Michael’s is Japanese Wagyu from Kagoshima Prefecture. With cuts such as rib‑eye, sirloin, and tenderloin in A5+ quality, he creates dishes that set benchmarks in both flavor and craftsmanship. His cooking showcases how tradition and innovation can meet in a single perfect bite — tender, aromatic, and unmistakable. We are proud to be a partner in this culinary journey. Our close collaboration with Michael Kempf and the FACIL team inspires us to provide only the best products — driven by passion for quality, origin, and flavor.
