    Best Short List of the Year Germany 2023

    A small oasis of freshness in the heart of Neukölln – Barra is a lovely restaurant serving a very seasonal menu composed of small sharing dishes. The menu changes daily, due to the season and the quality of the produce; ”If it smells or looks funny, don't cook it!” is the kitchen's simple philosophy. The restaurant is minimalist but refined, and you would not believe me if I told you that the place opened in November 2018. Please book in advance as it's quite often fully booked. Another benefit of this restaurant is that when you sit and dine at the bar, you have the feeling that you are right...

    ​Over the years, this former kebab stand in the heart of Berlin has developed into probably the smallest restaurant with a Michelin star in Germany. Since 2012, they are offering a relaxed, modern fine dining concept – in 2016 awarded with one star in the Michelin Guide and 16 points by Gault & Millau. The young and ambitious team serves only up to 18 guests at the time with their French-oriented cuisine, so please make sure to book in advance. The restaurant bears the name of a small harbour town in the south of France, named after the famous wine region Bandol in the south of Provence. Arti...

    Located on Friedrischstrasse in the heart of Berlin, Bocca di Bacco is an institution.

A sophisticated ambiance, a great location, and a serious number of celebrities. These are some key qualities of the Italian gourmet restaurant Bocca di Bacco. Dark furniture and art adorning the walls provide an ambiance in which celebrities can relax. Visible through its glass panes, the kitchen turns out Italian cooking.

    With its unpretentious bar food, excellent natural wines and contemporary art, Bar Normal is a highlight of the Prenzlauer Berg district. A feel of elegant simplicity permeates the whole bar, which is warm and welcoming, with minimalist yet comfortable seating. But despite the bar’s name, the food here is so good, so far removed from standard bar fare that it is thus absolutely NOT normal! As for the menu, European Fusion would be the best way to sum it up with, for example, Dutch bitterballen as a starter, French lemon chicken for main, and truly incredible deep-fried churros for dessert.

    Back in 2007, there were no recipes and no rules for a vegetarian fine dining restaurant in Berlin. So, at Cookies Cream, they created a cuisine of their own, which is about using modern techniques of processing, as well as old knowledge of ingredients. During growing time, they get most of their supplies freshly harvested from their farmer in Krielow/Brandenburg. Cookies Cream is ever changing and never the same. Cookies Cream was selected as the best vegetarian restaurant in Berlin by the Guide Michelin in 2018 and has been awarded one star every year since. Nowadays it offers a full vegan...

    ​​Germany’s first and only desserts restaurant, located in Berlin’s trendy Neukölln neighbourhood, offers a modern culinary adventure unlike anything you’ve ever experienced: A dessert menu of seven courses with perfectly coordinated pairings. The team, led by pastry chef René Frank, relies on fresh, seasonal products of the highest quality. Artificial flavours, colours and additives are obvious taboos, and no refined sugar is used. Instead, the natural sweetness of vegetables and fruits play off a full spectrum of flavours: the saltiness of ingredients such as cheese and anchovies, the bitte...

    Dr. Maury is a casual wine bar that opened in Summer 2018 in the popular district Prenzlauer Berg. You will be welcomed to a warm, cosy, and friendly atmosphere by staff who live and breathe wine. The clientele is mostly French–and that means something. It gives me the feeling that Dr. Maury take the time to understand the customer’s wants and needs and provide what they desire.

    “There should be good wine bars in the gastronomic metropolis of Berlin like the proverbial sand by the sea. Well, more like amber from the Baltic Sea―I was looking for it in vain recently”. Sylvia Jost from Berliner Zeitung explained it correctly. In recent years, it has been difficult to find a wine bar where you feel welcome, where you are treated as an individual and where you can have time to drink and taste the wine in your glass. Luckily, the Weinlobbyist opened shortly before the pandemic and still thrives thanks to host and owner Serhat Aktas. The setting is perfect too―in the popular...

Il Calice is your Italian specialist in Berlin, with great trattoria-style food and a mainly Italian wine list.

The Weinerei Forum is their wine bar just round the corner and lives up to its name: a place where you can taste the wines from our Edel und Faul, talk about them or simply meet friendly people. They are looking for exciting hot shots for you all year round. From natural to classic, only one point is decisive for them: NO DOGMA! Thematically they go from the German Mosel to Ge...

    Ezsra follows a farm- and forest-to-table principle, with an unusual focus on often simple ingredients, regional farming and wild foraging. A menu that changes daily is the answer to hyper- seasonal thinking. You will always find zero waste solutions on the menus. They mainly work with freshwater fish from the region and game from the forests. But when they find invasive species or high population fish from the north sea or very well treated goats, cows or pigs they also work with them. What you don’t know is that Ezsra is in sync with its neighbourhood, Neukölln, being open minded, pure, wil...

    International Sustainable Wine List of the Year 2023

    Located in Central-Mitte, Frea isn't just another hip restaurant on Torstrasse in Berlin. It’s the world's first zero-waste restaurant that deliberately avoids plastic packaging. The aim is, as far as possible, not to produce any waste. In times when 100 million tons of food are thrown away worldwide every year and the oceans are full of plastic, this is a big challenge for a restaurant that has its own small ecosystem. “For us, zero waste means sustainability. Thinking about what you're doing and knowing the implications of what you're doing. Because it's not just about the packaging, but a...

    Lead by two of the most prominent sommeliers in Berlin, Willi Schlögl (ex Petit Felix and Cordobar) and Johannes Schellhorn (ex Nobelhard & Schmutzig), Freundschaft (which means friendship in German) has become THE wine place in Berlin. Nestled in the student area of Berlin in Mitte, next to Unter den Linden, Freundschaft makes you feel right at home. Their bar looks like the long dining table where your family and friends would meet up around a glass or two or a bottle of wine, discussing the world.

    "Reduced to the essentials" is the concept of Faelt. But if you think that you will be served small plates and serious product patronage, you are wrong! Chef and owner Björn Swanson plates seductive aromas with humour. Björn is well-known in the Berlin Gastro scene, receiving his first Michelin Star at Golvet in Tiergarten before opening this place in October 2020 – just before the second lockdown – and in time to receive a new Michelin Star in March 2021! The name, Faelt, emphasizes Swanson's Swedish family roots and means field. At the same time, it is a reference to the chef's sustainable p...

It belongs to the chic, light and airy roof garden restaurant, in which, thanks to the all-round glazing, you almost feel like you're outdoors. Beautiful bamboo plants provide an Asian touch. But it’s the food that really raises the roof. Chef Michael Kempf takes his inspiration from his home country and as far afield as the Americas and Asia.

    ​Golvet is a one-of-a-kind place in Berlin, located in one of the best venues in Berlin (an old and very famous nightclub). Golvet is a serious contradiction, fitting extremely well in Berlin – the food and service is neither casual nor fine dining; it is personal, it is regional yet European, classical French with an American dialect! The executive Chef Jonas Zörner took over from Björn Swanson in 2020. As our Scandinavian readers will realise, the name is very Swedish – just the name of the restaurant. Golvet means ”the floor” – and it is situated on the 8th floor, overlooking Berlin's Tie...

    Grace is the iconic restaurant of Hotel Zoo in the heart of Berlin West, right on the “Berlin Champs-Élysées” Kurfürstendamm. The restaurant reminds me of a London or New York City townhouse, with glamorous and eclectic interior design. This is the place to be for both local and international stars who want to be seen. After dinner, I strongly suggest you have a drink by the bar, or on the rooftop terrasse if it's summer. The food served has a strong Asian-Californian and European influence in a family-style concept.

The Grill Royal is currently THE celebrity restaurant in Berlin. With its entrance on the promenade by the Spree, below the Weidendammer Brücke, this comfortably cavernous restaurant is more reminiscent of London or Paris than Berlin.

Sebastian Frank, named Best Chef in Europe 2018, has a very unique approach to his kitchen: He is Austrian and is cooking with his childhood memories! He and his team take on traditional Austrian recipes – he goes as far back as the Austro-Hungarian Empire – and brings those memories to the modern age. For Sebastian, vegetables are equal to meat and fish but be aware; this is not a vegetarian restaurant!

    The Kurpfalz Weinstuben in Berlin at Adenauer Platz have been around for over 80 years, not least thanks to their consistently traditional orientation. After the Second World War, they were a popular meeting place for the stars of old West Berlin. In 1975 Rainer P. S. Schulz, restaurateur from Hamburg, took over the place for 30 years and ran it like a “Village from the Pfalz in Berlin” with a passion for wine. Since 2015, Vincenzo Berényi, a trained sommelier but above all a real innkeeper, continues and expands the vinophile passion. This is the way we love it as guests!

    Anja Schröder and her business partner managed to create, in the centre of Berlin, a real Wonder Emporium for wine lovers (Remember Dr Magorium!?). Located in the side of the Hilton Hotel, the wine shop offers up to 500 different wines from young to old, classics and international rarities. This place is pure magic, with metallic shelves looking like the ones from an old English library and with a beautiful tasting room upstairs.

    International By the Glass List of the Year 2023

    Raised in Tel Aviv, Gal Ben Moshe has been familiar with the flavours of the Levant since childhood. Inspired by an Islamic scholar friend, Gal also explored the lost traditions of medieval cuisine in these regions. But Prism draws its inspiration not only from the Levant or from the extended Middle Eastern region, but also​ Central European and Scandinavian cuisine when it leads to meaningful culinary contexts. The mix of strong spices in contrast with harmonious tastes, is one thing that makes Prism unique in Berlin. For Gal, reinventing Middle Eastern cuisine also means rediscovering ingre...

    For over 30 years, the half-timbered house Altes Zollhaus has defended its title as one of Berlin’s most timeless institutions. Now, head chef Marco Müller of Rutz Restaurant and his team of three-Michelin-starred chefs have taken over the management of the Altes Zollhaus located along the Landwehr Kanal, with a great and quiet garden. Florian Mennicken, who previously worked in the Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer, Facil, and also at Rutz, now spearheads the new kitchen team. Together with Müller, they are bringing all time classics from Mitte to Kreuzberg – tartar, pike-perch or meatballs – Berlin sty...

    Opened in 2007 by the family Wu, this Chinese restaurant is located off the “Champs-Elysées” of Berlin – Ku’damm. The restaurant marries sweet & sour, spicy and mild like no other. Made from the freshest products on the market, the food is focused on original recipes from the Chinese regions of Sichuan, Jiangsu and Shanghai. In a typical way, no guest should order the same dish twice and should share his dishes with his party. This “unspoken” rule in the restaurant can also be explained by their motto – Man Man Chi – which means eat slowly and enjoy your time!

The space is open, bright and minimalist, inspired by the grand cafés of the Netherlands, especially Hertogenbosch, where the two friends are from. There are no chandeliers, white napkins, stucco or velvet in the restaurant. Instead, you will find an open kitchen in the centre, exposed concrete, deep red granite, airy curtains and lots of perforated metal...

    Richard Restaurant from Swiss Chef Hans Richard is a gem, situated in a somewhat awkward part of Berlin. It is about a five-minute walk from Schlesiches Tor on Köpenicker Strasse in Kreuzberg. During the day, sunlight shines through stained glass of the building’s original windows, casting different lights across tables and onto art on the walls. Richard offers French-inspired cuisine à la Ducasse, which tantalises the tastebuds through an unusual combination of well-known and innovative dishes. Hans Richard describes the cuisine of the restaurant as modern and classic. The selection is wel...

    Rutz is really an institution in Berlin. It was founded in 2001 and is still alive and kicking, which is a statement in itself! Lasting that long in the cruel world of gastronomy and still being in the foreground of the industry is remarkable. As you enter Rutz, you will find yourself in their wine bar. Here in this cosy ambience, you can order small sharing dishes to go with a glass of wine, or a bottle. If you feel adventurous, take the onyx stairs to their three Michelin star restaurant where your culinary trip can carry on!

    Far from the hustle and buzz of the city centre, Schmidt Z & Ko is the sister shop of Rutz Weinbar and Rutz Altes Zollhaus, located in the student area of Steglitz. The ambience is cosy-but-stylish, with a modern twist. An original detail: The oak tables and chairs of the wine bar come from original barrels from local wineries. A secret tip is Schmidt Z & Ko's homemade bread, accompanied by a homemade dip, to go with your glass of wine. In summer you can also enjoy your wine in the open air, either on the Rheinstrasse terrace or in the listed Goerz courtyards. Schmidt Z & Ko stands for a wide...

    Although you might think otherwise from the name, Strandbad Mitte (Middle Beach) in Scheunenviertel is a hub for some of Berlin’s best bars and restaurants, and is my recommendation after a stroll around Mitte. Head chef Tobias Gunter, who gained experience at the Rutz wine bar and Avui in Stuttgart, amongst others, cooks modern German cuisine at Strandbad-Mitte, including fine fish dishes that can be ordered à la carte or as a surprise menu.Many ingredients come from small, artisan suppliers; for example the cheese comes from Fritz Lloyd Blomeyer from Charlottenburg-district, the dry-aged bee...

    ​Standard has set themselves an ambitious goal: They want to make Neapolitan pizza that tastes just as good as in the home of the pizza – in Naples itself. To achieve this, they have pursued one goal from the very first moment of planning: Authentic quality, real ingredients, traditional production methods – and no compromises. Everything that is baked in their Neapolitan dome oven has been cut by hand. Even the tomatoes are crushed by hand to create their yummy sauce. Just like in Naples, and just like in Campania, the kitchen will close when they run out of pizza dough. This is an extremely...

From every seat you can look out over the cosmopolitan city of Berlin. Super cool–it’s great view, really! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, being modern but not over the top.

    ​In 2015, Head Chef Maximilian Strohe and his language-loving partner Ilona Scholl took over this venue, that used to house a classic French bistro, and spiced things up a few steps. When you walk through the door, you’re greeted by Ilona Scholl and her all-female service team, dressed to match the leafy pattern on the wall behind them. A nice touch, and so is your name charcoaled on the plain wood of your table and printed out on your menu. It’s a sparse but cosy space, rustic wood and old tiles oozing bygone Alpine holidays. In many ways, what has become Tulus Lotrek’s visual signature epi...

    Tante Fichte is your new contact point in Kreuzberg. The fact that the restaurant opened in the middle of the pandemic is pure coincidence rather than an opportunity to bring something new to an already dense and rich Berlin gastro scene. Not lacking of a concept or ideology, the plates and the interior are more about taste, simplicity and harmony, with an atmosphere in which every guest can feel comfortable, like when visiting your aunt!

    There are only a handful of modern fish restaurants in Berlin, and The Catch in Charlottenburg, an izakaya-style restaurant specialising in modern Japanese cuisine, is one of them getting ready to make a noise. Visually it stands out - bright colours and manga-like illustrations by Latvian artist Harry Grundmann are skilfully combined with earthy tones, natural walls and lots of woodwork. The Latvian connection is no coincidence either; co-founders Alexander and Aleksandra Slobine already successfully run this concept in Riga. However, the fish does not come from the Baltic Sea, but is source...

    Viniculture has become an institution in the wine world of Berlin. Ex-owner Holger Schwarz had this vision a long time ago to sell low intervention wines in Berlin (and now all of Germany). Holger had a good flair... The natural and low intervention wine market has exploded in the last few years, and Berlin should thank Holger, among other people, for it. He is a true visionary, and you will see his wines on the best wine lists in town too. The business is now run by Maxime Boillat, another very important personality in the Berlin wine scene.
