Experience bistro, events and catering at one of Berlin's most important locations.
At the Humboldt Forum, we present various gastronomic offerings, from lunch in the Lebenswelten Bistro to major events. Our team stands for a clear stance and, of course, combines quality and responsibility in all our offerings.
Since our opening in 2021, we have been your committed gastronomic partner at the Humboldt Forum, present with three diverse units: our Lebenswelten Bistro, a stylish event room with bar and the inviting Forum Café.
The Lebenswelten Bistro is open daily and, as a self-service restaurant, invites you to enjoy uncomplicated lunches or enjoyable breaks over coffee and cake in a unique atmosphere. With a view of the Schlüterhof and the passage, it offers an impressive backdrop.
Our event room with integrated bar is the ideal location for receptions, workshops, meetings and private events. Flexibly designed, it can accommodate up to 70 people with bar tables or offers 50 seats. For larger events, the event space can be seamlessly combined with the bistro, accommodating up to 250 guests. During the summer months, the outdoor terrace in the Schlüterhof can also be used, offering seating for more than 300 additional guests. Our inclusive team supports you professionally from the planning stage through to on-site service.
The Forum Café is the perfect stop for exhibition visitors on the 1st floor of the staircase and offers coffee specialties, snacks and small meals for a relaxing visit.
Our bistro is officially certified according to the nationwide “Travel for All” labelling system. Transparently tested accessibility for a relaxed, self-determined visit — without any hurdles.
