Pauly Saal

Design-led Michelin-starred restaurant serving inventive tasting menus

Housed within a former Jewish girls’ school in Mitte, Pauly Saal puts design at the forefront with ceramic tiled walls, velvet green banquettes, Murano chandeliers and a huge rocket art installation that spans the full width of the room – a scene that’s sure to make a striking first impression. It’s certainly not a case of style over substance, however; Arne Anker’s creative cuisine has propelled the restaurant to Michelin star status, serving up inventive tasting menus created using locally sourced ingredients.

Panama

This trendy restaurant serves German classics with exotic ingredients

The bright and airy Panama takes its name from German children’s book “Oh wie sch?n ist Panama” as a nod to its German roots and exotic influences. With white-washed walls and light wood furnishings punctuated with pops of colour, neon artworks and potted cacti, the aesthetically pleasing dining room is the perfect setting to enjoy Sophia Rudolph’s refreshing yet punchy cuisine that revives German classics with modern cooking techniques and exotic ingredients.

Cookies Cream

Trendy Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant 

Heinz Gindullis’ uber-trendy vegetarian restaurant, Cookies Cream, was elevated to Michelin star status in 2017. Hidden down the service alley of the Westin Grand Hotel, the restaurant’s entrance is marked only by a lone chandelier and a doorbell. Once inside, diners can feast on Stephan Hentschel’s award-winning cuisine, which utilises techniques such as fermenting, reducing, preserving and salt-crust baking to elicit maximum flavour from each of the vegetables.

Kin Dee

Michelin-starred Thai restaurant utilising local produce

Dalad Kambhu’s high-end Thai restaurant, Kin Dee – meaning ‘eat well’ – utilises local produce rather than importing traditional Thai ingredients to serve a contemporary and innovative take on Thai cuisine. This winning formula led to the restaurant winning its first Michelin star in 2019 just two years after opening. This makes Kambhu the youngest woman to ever receive a Michelin star in Germany. 

Neni Berlin

Trendy fusion restaurant with a sharing menu and panoramic views

Neni Berlin draws inspiration from all over the world, presenting a menu made up of Russian, Arabian, Moroccan, Persian, Isreali, Spanish, German and Austrian flavours. Pots and pans are taken straight from the kitchen to the table ready for diners to tuck into a sharing feast. Located on the top floor of the colourful 25 Hours Hotel, the dining room is enveloped within floor-to-ceiling glass walls, offering outstanding views across Berlin and the nearby zoo.

Grace Restaurant

A creative Southeast Asian-inspired menu in a theatrical setting

Designed by American designer Dayna Lee to reflect a New York townhouse, Grace Restaurant serves a creative menu in a theatrical setting of velvet wingback chairs, bottle green leather banquettes and quirky birdcage lamps. Chef Martin Bruhn has created an Asian-Californian menu with European flavours served alongside wine from the Napa Valley.

Grill Royal

A glitzy high-end steakhouse overlooking the river

Located on the banks of the Spree River, Grill Royal is an upscale steakhouse that has long been at the forefront of Berlin's dining scene, attracting an array of A-list celebs over the years. The extensive steak menu includes beef from all across the world, including Australia, Argentina and France, alongside a large number of other meat and fish dishes.

Chutnify

Trendy Indian with vibrant décor and bold flavours

Chutnify led the way in a wave of new Indian restaurants arriving in Berlin, opening ‘to fill a glaring void’ with authentic Indian street food served in a colourful setting. The brand now has two restaurants in the city as well as an outlet in Lisbon. Masala dosa, chickpea chaat and lamb biryani are among the flavour-packed options.

Café Einstein Stammhaus

Viennese style coffeehouse serving traditional Austrian dishes

Viennese-style Cafe Einstein Stammhaus is best known for serving some of the best coffee in town as well as traditional Austrian delicacies. Signature dishes like schnitzel with cranberries and apple strudel with vanilla sauce are served in a grand dining room decorated with marble topped tables and parquet floors. There's also a pretty outdoor courtyard for al fresco dining.

Golden Phoenix

Glamorous French-Chinese restaurant with the Provocateur Hotel

Provocateur Hotel transports guests back to the 1920s with its glamorous in-house restaurant, Golden Phoenix. Headed up by Chef Duc Ngo, known for Kucki – Berlin's first trendy Asian restaurant – the French-Chinese restaurant sees the Hanoi-born chef combine French techniques and complex Asian flavours in Paris meets Shanghai surroundings.

Hugos

Two-Michelin-starred restaurant within InterContinental Berlin

Michelin-starred restaurant Hugos is located on the 14th floor of the InterContinental Hotel Berlin. Having held onto its star since 1999, the restaurant has been at the forefront of Berlin’s dining scene for the past 20 years, with Eberhard Lange’s down-to-earth yet sophisticated dishes – a blend of French and Mediterranean cuisines – served against sleek Scandinavian-inspired interiors and sweeping panoramic views across the city. 

Café am Neuen See

Lakeside beer garden with cosy indoor Bavarian restaurant

The lakeside Cafe am Neuen See boasts one of the prettiest settings in Berlin. The outdoor beer garden sits under a canopy of trees and string lights making it an idyllic summer destination while the indoor restaurant is a dreamy winter spot with stone-baked pizzas and classic Bavarian dishes served next to roaring fires and panoramic windows.
