Restaurants
CURRYWURST & DÖNER
There are two dishes you need to have as street food in Berlin: currywurst and döner. Curry 36 and Mustafas Döner are just 25 metres away from each other; do it!
TULUS LOTREK
A unique fine-dining experience by chef Max and patron Ilona, it’s a place where you find highly individual dishes and one-of-a-kind service with a never-before-seen interior — a must-try.
FRÜHSTÜCK 3000
The team from this place formerly worked at Michelin-star restaurants, and then they opened this breakfast place with one-of-a-kind dishes.
OSTERIA CENTRALE
Everyone needs to have a lieblingsitaliener (favourite Italian restaurant), where you are treated like you are on holiday in Italy, with an impressive wine list and focused and pure dishes from owner couple Mila and Roberto.
BRASSERIE COLETTE TIM RAUE
My casual-concept French brasserie fits shopaholics. Situated next to the Kadewedepartment store, chef
Dominik serves contemporary French dishes.

Bars
FREUNDSCHAFT
To me, Willi and Johannes are operating one of the best wine bars on the planet. Berlin vibes in a packed place where you could get either a natural wine for the younger generation or a big bottle for the elderly like me.
3/4 WEINBAR
Run by driven wine enthusiast Tilo, this bar offers an especially wide selection of very elegant wines from Germany and some snacks made with love.
RUM TRADER
A tiny bar for late-night drinks, surrounded by professional drinkers in a unique atmosphere.
FREDERICK’S AT POTSDAMER PLATZ
A venue in the heart of the city where stars like Greta Garbo and Billy Wilder used to party in the roaring twenties, where bar chef Joe Scheidemann now presents the most creative cocktails.
