16 of the best Berlin Restaurants
There's a regenerative quality from many Berlin restaurants which attracts people from around the world – the city is becoming known for its fusion of cultures and original take on traditional cuisines. Visit in spring or summer and you’ll experience a cafe culture much like Europe’s warmer cities, with tables lining the leafy cobbled streets. In winter things get cosy – crowds pack into restaurants and bars with Berlin’s signature unplastered walls and low lighting.
In a city where the rhythm is defined by shifts in the weather, it’s no surprise that seasonality is a guiding force in kitchens. The passion for local ingredients and produce is universal regardless of chefs' nationalities. This is enhanced by a clear abundance of German suppliers who are innovating within their field. Thoughtfulness and care infuse even the fastest-working kitchens.
Passing through broad streets, canal sides and industrial architecture, we got to know the city through its food. These are Berlin’s best restaurants.
