The story
NANINKA Picanteria & Piscobar brings a focused Peruvian kitchen to the Arminius-Markthalle in Berlin. The venue operates as both a picanteria and a piscobar, mirroring the dual traditions of grilled meats and coastal seafood found along the coast. Guests navigate a straightforward menu where freshness dictates the daily offerings. The approach prioritises seasonal ingredients over complex presentations, letting regional techniques speak for themselves.
The culinary lineup highlights two distinct pillars of Peruvian cooking. Ceviche arrives with tightly controlled acidity, while fish in leche de tigre rests alongside roasted sweet potatoes. The picanteria side features grilled beef heart prepared over open flame, a staple cut that demands precise heat management. Each plate follows a clear logic: simple marinades paired with direct fire and bright citrus balances.
The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the venue one Kochlöffel for its 2026 edition, highlighting the authentic Peruvian cuisine served inside the Arminius-Markthalle. The market environment provides a casual backdrop for the detailed preparations. Guests sit at communal tables or counter seating while waiting for their orders. The layout keeps the kitchen visible, reinforcing the focus on straightforward cooking.
