La Soupe Populaire in Berlin

La Soupe Populaire opened in the former Bötzow Brewery building in Berlin, from where it inherits its' extremely industrial aesthetic, being 100% authentic thanks to the remnants of the building’s past. The concept for La Soupe Populaire combines art and the culinary arts: as part of what is known as the Studio House, where changing exhibitions of contemporary art will be shown, La Soupe Populaire enters into a fascinating symbiosis with its environment.

It’s vintage wherever possible, with simple table settings and the food dished up on plates featuring a 1930s design from the Royal Porcelain House. The pared down and affordable menu – just four mains courses are being offered along a “people’s kitchen” line – continues the theme of simplicity and give diners plenty of time to enjoy the interesting surroundings of salvaged plank tables and wicker chairs. [1] Along with the focus on the essentials, what is special about the dishes is that each course is served on white Urbino porcelain, a design from the 1930s produced by the Royal Porcelain Factory, Berlin.
