Marco Müller’s "Inspiration" tasting menu unfolds as a culinary journey, shaped by a clear personal style and a skilfully constructed narrative arc. The service team explains the ideas behind the dishes in a pleasingly relaxed and informal manner, and is always happy to answer questions. The kitchen works with remarkable precision, yet the cooking retains a sense of effortlessness and balance. With only a few components, the dishes seem minimalist, but are packed with details that lend them exceptional depth. One standout dish is the tender, flawlessly cooked Oldenburg Wagyu with an umami-rich

A real oasis of calm in the middle of Berlin, right on busy Potsdamer Platz! Up here on the fifth floor of The Mandala Hotel, diners can sit on the pleasant little terrace amid the chestnut trees and fountain – a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! And if you eat inside the chic, light and airy rooftop garden restaurant, you almost feel as if you are outdoors thanks to the wraparound glass windows. Beautiful bamboo plants are a nod to Asia. In addition to the location, Facil boasts top-notch cuisine by Michael Kempf (culinary director) and Joachim Gerner (head chef). For instanc

Now this is a school you'll be happy to attend! In an idyllic setting, Daniel Schmidthaler serves up an exciting and modern surprise menu comprising five or seven courses in the very classroom where pupils once studied. The menu changes daily thanks to a constant supply of seasonal ingredients, freshly sourced directly from the region.

The rather special location on the Landwehrkanal in lively Kreuzberg, among other restaurants and shops, is a draw in itself. Well shielded from the street, a lovely terrace is laid out front. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and inviting. The combination of period wood panelling and chic, modern design, along with a striking mural by Jim Avignon, draws as much attention as the glass-fronted kitchen. Sebastian Frank puts vegetables at the heart of his cooking. With remarkable inventiveness, he creates compelling flavour profiles from excellent ingredients, sourced wherever possible from the

Don't be fooled by the unassuming-looking exterior of this Neukölln eatery – a very special take on fine dining awaits you inside. The atmosphere in the dimly lit interior is lively and laid-back. Dine either at the counter, with a view into the kitchen, or at one of the surrounding tables. If you're lucky, you'll be given a sneak peek into how one ingredient or another is prepared in the kitchen. The cooking style is quite unique: René Frank and his team apply patisserie techniques. Particularly refined examples include "buttercream with plum, walnut, and dulse" and "grilled peach with pointe

This place boasts a delightful setting on the waterside promenade of a small island in the Havel and the restaurant itself is equally attractive with its upscale, modern and elegant interior and almost intimate atmosphere, beautiful terrace by the lake.
