1. 893 Ryotei
$$$ | Charlottenburg |Chic foodies frequent this sleek Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant from renowned Berlin restaurateur Duc Ngo, which sits behind a graffiti-covered door. The cocktails are top-notch, the sushi and sashimi some of the freshest in town, and the food is wonderfully prepared. South American-inflected dishes such as sashimi taquitos and variations on grilled beef, while not groundbreaking, are full of flavors just a bit different than what you'll find in Berlin's other Asian eateries.
Kantstr. 135, Berlin, Berlin, 10625, Germany030-9170–3121Known For
- Tiradito (Peruvian marinated raw fish)
- Sashimi taquitos (raw fish rolled into tortillas)
- Enticing cocktail, sake, and wine list

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch -
2. Adolf Wagner
$$ | Sachsenhausen |With sepia-toned murals of merrymaking above the dark-wood wainscotting, this Apfelwein classic succeeds in being touristy and traditional all at once, and it's a genuine favorite of local residents. The kitchen produces the same hearty German dishes as other nearby taverns, only better. Cider is served in large quantities in the noisy, crowded dining room with many large, communal tables. Reservations are recommended on weekends. Warning: it serves no beer! The family also operates a hotel upstairs.
Schweizerstr. 71, Frankfurt, Hesse, 60594, Germany069-612–565Known For
- Schnitzel
- Tafelspitz mit Frankfurter grüner Sosse (stewed beef with a sauce of green herbs)
- Fresh fish (a Friday special)
-
3. Alte Kanzlei
$$ | Mitte |Steps from the Altes Schloss, the building dates from 1565, but the menu is modern, offering both pastas, traditional Swabian specialties and vegetarian dishes. In a nod to Bavarian neighbors, the menu also offers Weisswurst, or veal sausages, but only on weekends. The Käsespätzle, or noodles with cheese, served with a salad, is enough for lunch or a light dinner, especially when combined with Opfenschulpfer, an airy bread pudding topped with vanilla sauce. There are daily beer and wine specials featuring local and regional producers. It's popular with local office workers for its location, service, and good prices.
Schillerpl. 5A, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, 70173, Germany0711-294–457Known For
- Regional specialties including Maultaschen (meat-filled ravioli)
- Feaured wine of the month specials
- Seasonal specialties including Spargel (white asparagus)
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Reservations essential -
4. Auerbachs Keller
$$ | |The most famous of Leipzig's restaurants is actually two restaurants: one that's upscale, international, and gourmet (down the stairs to the right) and a rowdy beer cellar (to the left) specializing in hearty Saxon fare, mostly roasted meat dishes. Goethe immortalized one of the vaulted historic rooms in his Faust, and Bach was a regular here because of the location halfway between the Thomaskirche and the Nikolaikirche.
Grimmaische Str. 2–4, Leipzig, Saxony, D–04109, Germany0341-216–100Known For
- One of the oldest restaurants on the continent
- Tasting menu worth the splurge
- Extensive wine list
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon., Reservations essential -
5. Barra
$$ | Neukölln |On the edge of Tempelhofer Feld, this cozy, minimalist farm-to-table restaurant has a daily changing menu featuring vegetable-focused ingredients paired in creative ways, such as chilled pea soup with cherries and almond, and gnocchi with pistachio pesto. Snag one of the few tables up-front or, better yet, try for a seat near the counter facing the open kitchen or at the communal table in the back, especially if you come with a group—you’ll likely want to order everything off the short but appealing menu so everyone can have a taste.
Okerstr. 2, Berlin, Berlin, 12049, Germany030-8186–0757Known For
- Medium-sized plates to share
- Comprehensive natural wine list
- Communal dining
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. No lunch -

6. BRLO Brwhouse
$$ | Kreuzberg |A cross between a craft brewery, a hip outdoor beer garden (spring through fall only), and a casual indoor restaurant inside reused shipping containers, BRLO is a quintessential Berlin spot to spend an afternoon drinking and eating. If the weather's nice, grab a striped lounge chair outside and choose from a range of modern bar snacks at the beer garden, open every day except in winter; otherwise, head indoors for a choice of vegetable-focused mains along with meats cooked in their own smoker.
Schöneberger Str. 16, Berlin, Berlin, 10963, Germany030-5557–7606Known For
- Cool, fun outdoor and indoor setting
- Tasty barbecue and vegetables
- Beers brewed on-site
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Restaurant closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch Tues.–Fri. Beer garden closed Mon. -
7. Café Einstein Stammhaus
$$$$ | Schöneberg |In the historic grand villa of silent movie star Henny Porten, the Einstein is one of the leading coffeehouses in town, and it charmingly recalls the elegant days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, complete with an artsy, high-brow clientele and slightly snobbish waiters gliding across the parquet floors. Order Austrian delicacies such as Tafelspitz or schnitzel (the small order is plenty large), coffee, and, of course, some cake.
Kurfürstenstr. 58, Berlin, Berlin, 10117, Germany030-263–9190Known For
- Shady garden behind the villa
- Apple strudel with vanilla sauce
- Outdoor seating in a beautiful courtyard
-
8. Café Knösel
$ | |Heidelberg's oldest (1863) coffeehouse has always been a popular meeting place for students and professors, and offers traditional Swabian food, pastries, and ambience. A historic change is that the café no longer produces café founder Fridolin Knösel's Heidelberger Studentenkuss. This iconic "student kiss" is a chocolate wrapped in paper showing two sets of touching lips—an acceptable way for 19th-century students to "exchange kisses" in public. They are now being sold exclusively in Knösel Chocolatier, a small, charming shop, owned by the Knösel family, just down the street.
Haspelg. 20, Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, 69117, Germany06221-727–2754Known For
- Fresh-baked pastries
- Cheese platters
- Varieties of coffees and hot chocolate
-
9. Café Mozart
$ | City Center |Reminiscent of a traditional coffeehouse, this café has been offering all types of sweets and pastries, along with breakfast, lunch, and dinner since 1915. Open daily, it's on a quiet, tucked-away street that's steps from the main shopping area, Zeil. In warm weather, there's a lovely outdoor garden.
Töngesg. 23, Frankfurt, Hesse, 60311, Germany069-291–954Known For
- Great coffee
- Sacher Torte (chocolate layer cake)
- Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake)
-
10. Casa di Biase Brasseria
$$$$ | Südstadt |Sophisticated Italian cuisine is served here in a warm, elegant setting on the city's southwest side. The seasonally changing menu focuses on fish and game, and the wine list is interesting and extensive—although sometimes pricey.
Eifelpl. 4, Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, 50677, Germany0221-322–433Known For
- Homemade pastas
- Risotto
- Fresh fish
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. No lunch Sat. -
11. Clärchens Ballhaus
$$ | Mitte |Opened in 1913, this former club has a new life as a trendy restaurant serving well-prepared German classics; dine inside amidst the soaring ceilings and peeling walls, or when the weather's nice, outdoors in the lovely courtyard. Try a three-course seasonal menu or opt for tasty flammkuchen, potato rösti, or schnitzel, washed down with a well-mixed signature cocktail such as a Clärchens (tequila, currant, lemon, sugar, and mint).
Auguststr. 24, Berlin, Berlin, 10117, Germany030-55578–5440Known For
- Classic German cuisine
- Cool, retro atmosphere
- Weekly dance instruction and parties
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No lunch Tues.–Fri. -
12. CODA
$$$$ | Neukölln |Your childhood dream of having dessert for dinner can come true at this intimate "dessert bar" on a pretty street in trendy Neukölln—except at CODA, many of the desserts are more savory than sweet, and all can be paired with alcoholic beverages, from cocktails to beer to wine. Four- or seven-course menus use very little added sugar or fat in the dishes, but feature plenty of different textures and beautiful presentations to keep things interesting, even for those without a sweet tooth.
Friedelstr. 47, Berlin, Berlin, 12047, Germany030-9149–6396Known For
- Small-plate "desserts" using natural flavors
- Intimate, open-kitchen atmosphere
- Superlative, unusual cocktails
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun.–Tues. No lunch -
13. Cookies Cream
$$$$ | Mitte |The name might have you thinking something different, but this is actually a vegetarian fine-dining restaurant that serves fantastic food (it's above what used to be a club called Cookies, owned by a nightlife mogul by the same moniker, now home to an eatery called Crackers); the chef steers away from "easy" vegetarian dishes like pasta and stir-fries and instead focuses on innovative preparations. The entrance, too, is misleading: the only access is via a dingy alley between the Westin Grand Hotel and the Komische Oper next door, but once you're inside the vibe is industrial-chic, and the service is friendly, casual, and fun.
Behrenstr. 55, Berlin, Berlin, 10117, Germany030-6807–30448Known For
- Michelin-starred creative vegetarian cuisine
- Five- to seven-course tasting menus, plus a signature dish
- Interesting organic wine pairings
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch, Reservations essential -
14. Curry 36
$ | Kreuzberg |This currywurst stand in Kreuzberg has a cult following and just about any time of day or night you'll find yourself amid a crowd of cab drivers, students, and lawyers munching on currywurst mit Darm (with skin) or ohne Darm (without skin). Go local and order your sausage with a big pile of crispy fries served rot-weiss (red and white)—with curry ketchup and mayonnaise.
Mehringdamm 36, Berlin, Berlin, 10961, Germany030-251–7368Known For
- Berlin's most famous currywurst
- Vegan currywurst for non-meat eaters
- Late-night eats (open till 5 am)
-
15. Der Postwagen Ratskeller
$$ | |Sitting at one of the low wooden tables in this rustic spot on the first floor of the Rathaus, surveying the marketplace through the wavy old glass, you can dine well on solid German fare. In warm weather, the terrace provides great views of the Dom.
Markt 40, Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, 52062, Germany0241-35001Known For
- Himmel en Erd (black pudding, mashed potatoes, apples, and fried onions)
- Sauerbraten (marinated beef)
- Roasted guinea fowl
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. -
16. Die Ecke
$$$ | |On the small square behind the Augsburg town hall, this fine-dining restaurant, in a building dating from 1577, offers an extensive wine list and an innovative, meat-heavy menu according to what's in season. In summer ask for a table on the patio.
Elias-Holl-Pl. 2, Augsburg, Bavaria, 86150, Germany0821-510–600Known For
- Zander fish fillet
- Seasonal venison dishes
- Rack of lamb
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Reservations essential, Closed Mon. and Tues. -
17. Die Henne
$ | Kreuzberg |The 100-plus-year-old Kreuzberg stalwart has managed to stick around thanks in part to its most famous dish, which is still just about all it serves: a crispy, fried half chicken. The rest of the menu is short: coleslaw, potato salad, a few boulette (meat patty) options, and several beers on tap; for "dessert," look to the impressive selection of locally sourced brandies and fruit schnapps.
Leuschnerdamm 25, Berlin, Berlin, 10999, Germany030-614–7730Known For
- Scrumptious fried chicken
- Front-yard beer garden
- Charming historic setting
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No lunch -
18. Einsunternull
$$$$ | Mitte |In a clean and modern Scandinavian-styled space done up in woods and light colors, chef Silvio Pfeufer combines local German dishes with global influences (think pike perch served with finger limes and veal tongue with black truffle and parmesan) on his six-course tasting menus; there's also a separate menu for vegetarians. Pair your meal with a fine selection of wines from Austria, France, Italy, and Spain, or opt for their house-made non-alcoholic drink accompaniments.
Hannoversche Str. 1, Berlin, Berlin, 10115, Germany030-2757–7810Known For
- Beautifully presented modern German cuisine
- Inspired wine or alcohol-free beverage pairings
- Pretty contemporary dining space
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. No lunch -
19. Erno's Bistro
$$$$ | Westend |This tiny, unpretentious place in a quiet Westend neighborhood seems an unlikely candidate for the best restaurant in Germany, yet that's what one French critic called it. Fresh seafood, the specialty, is often flown in from France, as are the wines (the wine list boasts 600 choices). It's closed weekends, during the Christmas and Easter seasons, and during much of summer—in other words, when its patrons, well-heeled business executives, are unlikely to be in town.
Liebigstr. 15, Frankfurt, Hesse, 60323, Germany069-721–997Known For
- Elegant service
- Duck and seafood also from France
- Chef's tasting menus
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed weekends and for 6 wks during Hesse\'s summer school vacation, Reservations essential, Jacket required -
20. Essigbrätlein
$$$$ | |The oldest restaurant in Nuremberg, built in 1550 as a meeting place for the city's wine merchants, is also the top restaurant in the city and among the best in Germany. Today its tiny but elegant period interior caters to the distinguishing gourmet, but don't be put off if the restaurant looks closed—just ring the bell and a friendly receptionist will help you.
Weinmarkt 3, Nürnberg, Bavaria, 90403, Germany0911-225–131Known For
- Four-course dinner menu
- New German cuisine with uniquely blended spice mixes
- Perfect wine pairings
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon., Reservations essential
