Hotel Da Gianni GmbH

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

European cuisine that draws on Asia for inspiration – Tim Raue pulls off this modern and refreshing feat in truly original fashion. This Berlin-born chef has a style that is all his own and certainly unique in Germany. He works with a highly skilled team to turn out his flavourful creations. Diners have a choice of set menus dubbed "Kolibri x Berlin" (a tribute to Berlin) and "Koi", with his signature dishes of "Wasabi Langoustine" and "Duck 'Marie-Anne'" or "Königsberger Klops Grandma Gerda" available in each. There is also a vegan set menu. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant opens earl

This place has evolved from a tapas and wine bar into a "casual fine dining" restaurant. The lovely atmosphere is really neighbourly, almost intimate – you feel welcome right off the bat! This is down to both the appealing bistro setting and the cordial and professional proprietor and sommelier Fabian Fischer. He has a pleasingly personal touch in his dealings with diners and obvious enthusiasm when it comes to recommending the most suitable wine. The list includes over 300 labels, from Germany, Austria and France – with a particular penchant for Riesling. Steven Zeidler is in charge of the ki

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

Set in a lovely building on a corner plot in the Prenzlauer Berg district, this restaurant has a clean-lined, modern look and a trio of industry professionals with a proven track record at the helm. Owner Silvio Pfeufer (formerly head chef at einsunternull) is in charge of the kitchen, co-owner and maître d' Janine Woltaire heads up the friendly service team – and here she has an experienced sommelier at her side in Michael Stiel – the pair were colleagues at Horváth, another Berlin restaurant. The two set menus (one of which is vegetarian) each comprise five or six courses. Alternatively, you
