Japan meets Noma meets Berlin. Best overall dining experience in Berlin right now. Small plates, more on the subtle flavor side of things. $$$$
World class and really upped their game after the recent renovation. 3 Michelin stars absolutely justified. Very Classical fine dining with focus on strong and beautiful flavors. A delight. $$$$
Incredible flavors. French with Asian influences. Nothing too crazy so also a safe bet for non-foodies. Upbeat, world class service without forced attitude. $$$$
Best vegan fine dining restaurant in town. Upscale feeling without being stuffy. $$$
Fun, local, strong flavors. A bit on the expensive side given the small portions but overall highly recommended. $$$
Fun, great food, excellent service (with a touch of Berliner Schnauze), genuinely Berlin. Locally sourced produce. The menu can be a bit hit or miss but usually great. $$$$
Probably best Japanese restaurant in Berlin right now. Both appetizers and sushi are amazing. $$-$$$
Really stepped up their game since I last came here a year ago. Earthy flavours, clear philosophy (Austrian with a twist), excellent service, lots of memorable moments. $$$$
$$ One of the best places to have dinner in Berlin right now. Focused food & wine menu (all natural wines), strong flavors, top notch service, great ambiance, very good value for money.
Great food, lots of fun. Best Nikkei (Japanese/Peruvian fusion) restaurant in Berlin. $$$
$ Second location but better vibe. Hands down best noodle place in town. Be prepared to queue.
Amazing value for money. Great vibe, fun staff. Get the shared "Dinner for friends" for 36 Euros: they'll keep bringing food until you collapse . $$
Best sushi in Berlin. Small setting, good for family and friends. Order the Izakaya menu and have Ginge take care of you. $$
$ Best Chinese noodles in Berlin right now (above LIU, Chungking Noodles and The Tree).
Great vibe, modern food that doesn't lose its soul, living room style setting. A bit on the salty side but some of the dishes (e.g. cabbage) were truly spectacular. $$$
$$$ Truffle pasta very strong. Generally: simple & well-known dishes (ceviche, pork belly, flan, etc.), extremely well executed.
$$$$ Great sake selection, some dishes were outstanding, ultimately limited by the quality of products you can get in Germany, but definitely one of the top choices for Japanese food in Germany
Incredible value for money fine dining. Entire restaurant manned by just 2 people. Cozy, fun, great service, excellent food. $$
$$ Amazing location, great vibes, fantastic cocktails. Solid food, excellent service
$$$ Elevated Chinese dining in an intimate setting. Fun tea pairing, no alcohol though.
Best breakfast in Prenzlauer Berg. Salmon bagel amazing. ABC plate amazing. Super staff. Make sure to make a reservation. Also great wines. $
Outrageously good briskets. Very rare find in Europe, let alone Germany. Fries are amazing as well. Prices are more than fair $$
$$ Mixed menu: good tartare, strange charcuterie. Crab is good. A bit too expensive. Great vibe.
The 2018 renovation turned this place into a more traditional Michelin-star-type of restaurant. Lots a bit of its old rustic charme but food is excellent. $$$$
$$$ Fair price for a really strong tasting menu. Better than some of the more expensive Michelin star places in Berlin. Cool "neighbourhood" atmosphere.
Fantastic setting, excellent cocktails, attentive service. Lots of fun. Food is strong but not the strongest in Berlin by far. Come for the overall experience. $$$
Best Turkish food I've had in Berlin in a restaurant setting. Octopus fantastic. Try the red Turkish wines, excellent. $$
Favorite Italian place in town and personal go-to place for family, investor or date dinners. Order from the daily menu. Nothing fancy or hip about this place but feels just right. $$
My favorite ramen in Berlin (and I've tried them all), can't go wrong with either of the choice. Miso is a bit boring. Order Tan Tan (spicy) or Tonkotsu if it's your first time here. $
Really nice Taiwanese/Chinese dumplings and noodle soups. Authentic. Recommended
Pure flavors, some really memorable dishes. One of the better Michelin star places in Berlin. $$$$
Great Sichuan noodles and starter dishes with a few modern twists while maintaining authenticity. Great aromas and great value for money. $
Very fun, and innovative food that tastes great without trying too hard. Recommended especially if you're coming with a fun crowd.
Very cool decor with a super high ceiling (formerly a night club). Good energy, good food (but not spectacular). Modern posh, feels like Soho House or a W hotel. $$-$$$ depending on drinks.
Modern twist on French cuisine. Very cool, intimate setting, very Berlin. Menu can be a bit hit or miss. $$$$
Michelin-level service. Food has improved considerably since they opened, a bit more fine dining now. Focus on ingredients and flavours. Very good upper-mid-level dinner. $$$
Perfect dumplings. Amazing noodles. Great veggies (e.g. fried eggplant). $$
$$ New location in Amano hotel is more posh but flavors unchanged & strong. Best "traditional" Israeli food in Berlin.
$ Little delicacy grocery store with some tables. Honest dishes with strong execution and deep flavors. Real Greek food with good ingredients.
Just opened in Q4 2018. Food is hands-down best Israeli cuisine you'll get in Berlin. Amazing flavors: modern and impactful with lots of soul. Unfortunately weird crowd and a bit overpriced. $$$
Touristy and arguably not authentic but still my favorite Vietnamese place. The daily options are usually great and make sure to order the spring rolls. Expect to queue. $
Best dumplings in East Berlin, arguably all of Berlin. Get a mix of cooked and fried. Decor won't win any awards but it feels authentic. Ask for a Jian Bing if they have it. $
Food not as good and creative as it used to be but still a great location with a fun vibe and very solid, modern cuisine. $$-$$$ depending on how much you drink.
Inside a hotel but the food is excellent. French/Israeli. Upscale, modern decor, fun crowd. $$-$$$
Strong vegetarian Chinese food. Authentic flavours, excellent value. Fried lotus and eggplant dishes were great. Order small portions so you can try more of the dishes. $$
Excellent fusion place. Much better than its (slightly cheaper) sibling Transit. Not cheap but worth it. Good vibe, slightly on the posher end of things but not stiff. $$-$$$
Posh and popular for a reason. Banker feeling but still the best steak in Berlin for me. Get the chateaubriand if you don't mind spending some money. $$$
Lovely restaurant run by real Japanese people. Fantastic staff. Specials and small dishes are great. Rolls are nothing special. Just go for the daily specials and small dishes like tempura, etc. $$
One of my two favorite breakfast places in Berlin. Nothing groundbreaking but just all around great breakfast. Reservations are a must. $
Strong vegan dishes, especially vegan "egg salad", truffle pasta and cabbage. Would recommend a la carte over the tasting menu. $$-$$$
massive and excellent Schnitzel. you can order one portion for 2 and they'll bring it on 2 plates
Good Thai food with a posh touch. 50 EUR fixed menu not cheap. Very good service. Recommended if you like Thai food. $$
Love the bento box, best bento box in Berlin. Also great curry. Amazing green tea.
Best Thai in Prenzlauer Berg / Mitte by a mile. Outstanding Pad Thai and curries. Not the most exciting interior design.
Excellent, excellent wines (trust their recommendations) & amazing antipasti (smoked mozarella)
Rustic place, rowdy crowd & staff all in a big hall, very authentic, great value, very solid pizza.
best kebap in Prenzlauer Berg and 90% of the Mustafa Gemüsekebap taste at 10% of the waiting time
Very fun location. Don't expect hyper authentic Chinese food but it's all solid with interesting takes on classics. Prices are moderately high for Berlin standards but not outrageous. Fun in a group.
Not great value for money but best interior design of any restaurant in Berlin. 10/10 for style, 7/10 for food $$$
As good as its reputation, secret is the bread and sauce I find. You can probably get 95% of its quality from other places. Suggest going very late at night so you don't have to wait 30min.
Great healthy bowls, not cheap but overall my favorite healthy & tasty lunch option in Mitte right now.
Chinese food isn't the very best in Berlin (but in the top 10), but they pair it with absolutely amazing Mosel wines. Ambiance also great. Great place.
Most authentic tapas I've had in Berlin. The tortilla is the real deal (perfect egg consistency). Laid back setting. Nice staff
Public park where Thai ladies prepare food out in the open. Very fun on summer days. They're usually around Friday to Sunday. $
Fun location and excellent service, veggie dishes unimpressive but generally quite fun in a group. Strong wine selection. $$-$$$
Dumplings are a little too fusion for my tastes but the Xiaolongbao are to die for, super authentic.
Doesn't come close to London but Probably best Indian food in Berlin. Cauliflower starter and salty Lassi very nice. $$
$$$$ Some very fun dishes, some really strange ones (like caviar popsicle). Would come here for an extended dessert, not as main dinner.
$$ Solid Italian food in a very funky setting. A bit overhyped due to the opening but worth a visit.
$$ very solid Italian restaurant. One of best truffle tagliolini I had in a long time.
