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

This small neighbourhood restaurant with a friendly, intimate feel is run with a distinctly personal touch. Owner and maître d' Kristiane Kegelmann – a master confectioner and sculptor – and her team, headed up by chef Florian Sperlhofer and sommelier Julia Giese, make it their mission to bring together art and culinary pleasure. The best seats in the house are at the communal table with views into the open kitchen – you can get an insight into how the modern seasonal cuisine is created. Dishes such as smoked local eel with beetroot or a delicious pike-perch with Szegediner Kohl (fermented cab

Surprised to find MICHELIN-starred cuisine in this casual, laid-back restaurant with its "shabby chic" style? Granted, the small space – once home to a kebab shop – does look a little unkempt: in the dimly lit and very simple interior, the tables (without tablecloths) are tightly packed, and the individual furnishing details include vintage elements, some of which date back to the former East Germany. In the open kitchen, Andreas Saul shows remarkable passion, precision, originality and creativity. His cooking, which is regional, proves to be pretty innovative. For instance, his "carrot charcu

The magnificent view and the chic interior make Hugos, laid out on the 14th floor of the InterContinental hotel, a highly appealing location in the capital. Soft lighting and elegant furnishings make for a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Johannes Gehrich runs the kitchen, serving up modern international cuisine as a six- or eight-course tasting menu. A fine example is "snow crab & imperial caviar", which impresses with its delicacy, clarity of flavour and overall balance. The combination of meltingly tender Dover sole, lightly tangy morels, foamy vin jaune and golden-brown cauliflower mushroo

Having gained many years of experience in the fine dining sector, Marcel and Miriam Hertrampf have opened this laid-back little restaurant. For starters, the location is lovely: the street lined with tall trees and buzzing with a lively atmosphere has a charm all of its own – the terrace on the wide pavement is especially inviting. In the kitchen, patron Marcel serves up aromatic modern fusion cuisine, drawing on a wealth of culinary influences from Spanish to Asian. The cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, with fish and meat used sparingly. Flavoursome dishes are served as an eight- or 10-cou

In her cosy restaurant, Johanna Nußbaumer recreates a little bit of Austria in the heart of Berlin. Ensconced in a side street off Kurfürstendamm (aka "Ku'damm") since 2008, it has become an institution and an essential fixture. "Authentic... Traditional... Austrian" is the motto here. Tafelspitz aspic on a shallot vinaigrette, Viennese beef goulash with bread dumplings, or apricot dumplings with sweet buttered breadcrumbs are some shining examples. The good selection of wines also originates in the chef's homeland. The restaurant is popular and doesn't have an excess of tables, so be sure to

This Japanese brasserie in a bustling neighbourhood of Prenzlauer Berg entices diners with an interesting range of Japanese specialities in the evenings – including sushi and sashimi, of course. The flambéed toro nigiri, for example, is a treat. Other draws of this place include competent service courtesy of a friendly and down-to-earth front-of-house team, and the pleasingly bright and modern minimalist-style interior, complete with a small sushi counter, where you can see the chefs at work. In summer, the outdoor tables shaded by trees are highly coveted.
