30 restaurants and bars in Berlin, sorted by what you\u2019re looking for right now. The long lunch in the concrete courtyard. The three-star menu with wine pairing. The currywurst at three in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend following the reputation in the Berlin food scene; Google stars are secondary in this case. Some of our classics (Borchardt, Mustafa, Curry 36, Konnopkes) are in the low 4s in reviews. This has to do with waiting times and polarizing tradition. Nevertheless, they are part of the Berlin must-see list. For our guests at Kurf\u00fcrstendamm<\/a> There are three Ku\u2019damm insiders right in Charlottenburg. In the end you see what they are really like. Berlin Mitte<\/a>, from Ku\u2019damm and from BER Airport<\/a> is easily accessible. Breakfast has its own guide: Breakfast in Berlin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Berlin eats internationally and in unconventional ways. In Mitte, star cuisine sits next to organic back gardens; in Kreuzberg, currywurst, star menus, and Lebanese cuisine are close together; in Charlottenburg, you\u2019ll find Pho, schnitzel, and vegan bowls on Kantstra\u00dfe. No matter which of our three locations you start from: we\u2019ll show you what\u2019s worth trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On weekdays you\u2019ll find the regular stalls selling cheese, bread, wine and coffee from Berlin\u2019s artisan producers, along with small snacks for a quick bite. Thursdays evenings from 5 p.m. the hall transforms into a street food stage with rotating chefs from all over the world and long beer stands in the middle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Exposed concrete, a green inner courtyard and a small, daily changing menu with organic ingredients. Booking is recommended, because the tables fill up quickly.

For years, this unassuming eatery on Kastanienallee has been serving vegetarian fusion cuisine that on paper shouldn\u2019t work. Naan pizza with mango and coriander, Indian burritos, dal bowls.

Ottenthal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Austrian \u00b7 Charlottenburg \u00b7 \u20ac\u20ac<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiener Schnitzel and Austrian classics at Kantstra\u00dfe, right in the middle of the Ku\u2019damm area. The schnitzel is thin, crispy, traditional, served with potato salad instead of fries. Along with that, a small, well-thought-out Austrian wine list with recommendations for each dish. In the afternoons, it\u2019s usually more relaxed than in the evenings; in the evenings, booking is recommended.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currywurst, kebab, konnopkes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Berlin snack establishments for late evenings and short periods of hunger. Curry 36 is open until 5 a.m., Mustafa on weekends until 1:30 a.m., and Konnopkes only during the day, but has been open since 1930. When nothing else is open, our self-service shops in Berlin Mitte and at the airport help out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Curry 36<\/h3>\n\n

The Berlin question of faith for decades: Curry 36 or Konnopkes? We say both. Curry 36 has the advantage that there is still a queue in front of the counter even at three o\u2019clock in the morning. Classic order: Currywurst without intestines, with fries from Schranke. Next door is Mustafa, so you can easily combine that with a double round of street food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

The probably most photographed eatery in Berlin, right next to Curry 36 on Mehringdamm. In the flatbread they serve roasted potato and eggplant mix, feta cheese, fresh mint and a hint of lemon. The line is reliable; plan a wait of 20 to 30 minutes. If you\u2019re in a hurry, come on weekdays between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.; it\u2019s more relaxed then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Original from East Berlin with open-air seating, in winter with heating stoves. Important: Closed on Sundays and Mondays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

In Mitte and at the airport there is a pub directly in the building, open 24\/7. If there\u2019s nothing open in the evening, you\u2019ll find drinks, snacks and the essentials there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Schnitzel, beef short ribs or Parisian nostalgia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three addresses for a classic evening out in the city: all with their own history. Borchardt for the political must-try schnitzel in a room from 1853, Zur Letzten Instanz as the oldest tavern in the city, Diener Tattersall as a West Berlin classic pub in Charlottenburg. Reservations are recommended for all three, especially on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n

Borchardt<\/h3>\n\n

Probably the most famous Viennese schnitzel in the Republic, served in a high room with stucco and mirrors from the early 20th century. Politics, acting and business have sat side by side here for generations; sometimes at neighboring tables. The ordering process is automatic: schnitzel with potato salad and prunes. The online reviews are mixed; the schnitzel is not that good. Book several days in advance; on weekends, perhaps a week in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Berlin's oldest tavern, founded in 1621, and thus one of the few addresses in the city with a date from the Thirty Years' War. Lamb ribs, boulettes, Berliner Wei\u00dfe, plus tiled stoves and wood-panelled rooms. Obviously, that's touristy. But in the honest version. Closed on Sundays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Black-and-white photos of regulars from decades hang on the dark wooden paneling. On the map: Berlin specialties like potato salad, Wiener schnitzel, codfish, and K\u00f6lsch from the tap.

The menu is short: Beef Noodle Soup, Dan Dan Noodles, plus small appetizers like Mapo Tofu, cold cucumber salad, Wan Tan in chili oil. It tastes like Sichuan without any German adaptation. Cash only, so bring some cash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Arabic cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mezze, Falafel, Shawarma<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin has a diverse Levantine and Arabic-speaking restaurant scene, ranging from small snack bars to restaurant-bar combos. Two very different addresses: Marooush in Charlottenburg for Lebanese cuisine with a bar atmosphere, and Nour Lebanese in Kreuzberg as a small, family-run spot.<\/p>\n\n\n

Small Lebanese family restaurant in Wrangelstra\u00dfe, personally run by the owner. The menu is classic and focused on the essentials: falafel with various sauces, hawawschi (a type of Lebanese stuffed pizza), homemade shawarma, fresh flatbread, classic mezze. Guests praise the black tea that arrives unprompted at the table and the friendly family atmosphere. An honest address without marketing gimmicks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Star cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three stars or the Brandenburg Meadow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin has developed its own fine dining identity: less pomp than Munich, more concept than elsewhere. Rutz has three stars, Tim Raue two, Nobelhart and Schmutzig one each. Each of the three restaurants has a distinct, unique style.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rutz<\/h3>\n\n

Berlin\u2019s only three-star restaurant and thus the culinary highlight of the city. Marco M\u00fcller cooks modern German cuisine using consistently regional ingredients. Depth over effect, substance over show cooking. The wine pairing matches the menu. Book weeks, sometimes months in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Restaurant Tim Raue<\/h3>\n\n

Berlin's loudest and perhaps most polarizing star chef, with a line that he consistently follows: Asian-inspired cuisine without bread and without butter. Classic dishes on the menu include Wasabi Langustas, Pekingente, and the tasting menu. If you like Tim Raue, you'll appreciate this clear stance. Book weeks in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Nobelhart and Schmutzig<\/h3>\n\n

Brutal local cuisine is the concept here. All ingredients come from a 200-kilometer radius around Berlin. No black pepper, no lemon, no olive. Instead, everything Brandenburg has to offer is of the highest quality. One menu, one counter, ten seats. If you like that, you\u2019ll find a political stance on food here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Vegetarian and vegan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the star menu to the burger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two addresses, two approaches: Cookies Cream as a vegetarian speakeasy pioneer with a Michelin star, and Lia\u2019s Kitchen in Kreuzberg for vegan burgers and comfort food. Both avoid the abstinence rhetoric that has long accompanied the meatless cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cookies Cream<\/h3>\n\n

Hidden in a backyard behind the Westin Grand Hotel, the entrance leads through the delivery area. If you don\u2019t know it, you won\u2019t find it. The vegetarian fine dining restaurant has a Michelin star and remains one of the most unusual addresses in the city to this day. Tasting menu with wine pairing, secret bar charm, discreetly staged. Good for a first visit because the entrance alone is a story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Lia's Kitchen<\/h3>\n\n

One of the most consistent addresses for vegan burgers and comfort food in Berlin, consistently rated highly for years. On the menu: burgers with homemade patties and several vegan cheese varieties (including blue cheese imitation), plus fries, vegan chicken nuggets, coleslaw and vegan cheesecake for dessert. Plant wall, a mix of tables and seating arrangements, relaxed atmosphere. Prices are very fair compared to other vegan restaurants in the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Three restaurants where the location itself becomes the secondary protagonist: Ver\u014dnika at Fotografiska with high restored ceilings, Spindler at Landwehrkanal with water views, heimlichTreu in the backyard in Mitte with candlelight.

Ver\u014dnika is located in the former Tacheles, one of the most historic places in the Berlin art scene. Today, the Fotografiska is home here, among other things. High, freshly renovated ceilings, plenty of space, and a modern brasserie kitchen. Our tip for the entire evening: stroll through the changing exhibitions first, then have a drink on the rooftop terrace at sunset, followed by dining at Ver\u014dnika downstairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

Hidden in the second courtyard of a side street in Mitte and notoriously hard to find. That\u2019s part of the charm. String lights, candles, live piano in the courtyard in summer. The menu is seasonal and international, with small plates to share that arrive one after another. One of the most romantic addresses in the city for a date or a quiet evening for two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
