  • 3. Markthalle Neun

    $ | Kreuzberg

    Thanks to the efforts of local activists, this century-old market hall was saved from becoming a chain supermarket and instead turned into a center for local food vendors, chefs, wine dealers, and brewers. From Monday to Saturday, a large and rotating variety of food and drink is on offer for lunch and all afternoon; Tuesday to Saturday finds the weekly market with tempting food products for sale, from fruits and vegetables to bread and fish (with an expanded market on Friday and Saturday); and the space also hosts a dazzling array of rotating events, so it's best to check what's on before heading there.

    A good spot, especially if you're visiting the neighboring Pinakothek museums, this convivial corner bar and café attracts an interesting mix of students, artists, businesspeople, and trendy types from breakfast until late into the night. The menu features salads, sandwiches, and small selection of pastas—solid, affordable fare that won't exactly wow you—but the restaurant's art deco touches, funky artwork, and buzzy vibe are thoroughly enjoyable.

Whether you're looking for a coffee and pastry between sightseeing or a full lunch or dinner, it's all here: from a tempting selection of French and Mediterranean-inflected light dishes—quiche Lorraine, charcuterie plates, with chorizo, salami, and pâté, Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves—to homemade pastries and a choice of coffee, tea, and the local beer and wine by the bottle or glass. A hearty breakfast is available on weekends and holidays.

  • 11. Geniesserei Alte Wache

    $$

    With its position right on the market place in the center of town, you'd be forgiven for suspecting the Alte Wache to be a tourist trap.

    $$$$ | Wedding

    The slightly more casual offshoot of Michelin-starred restaurant ernst, this wine-focused eatery serves coffee, fresh-baked goods, and (yes) wine during the day and more elaborate market-driven prix fixe menus at dinner; dishes are heavy on the organic veggies, plus sustainable seafood and meats, and many have a Japanese slant, featuring accompaniments such as shiso flowers, miso, ponzu, or yuzu. An open kitchen encourages you to watch the chefs at work, while enormous pane windows let you keep an eye on the action on the lively Wedding streets outside.

  • 17. Scroeder's Wacht am Rhein

    $$

    Overlooking the Remagen Bridge and Peace Museum, this bright contemporary restaurant departs from the substantial traditional fare in favor of a menu of light, French or Italian-inflected dishes—a savory tart of chanterelle mushrooms, spring onions and cherry tomatoes, roasted monkfish with zucchini "spaghetti" and pesto, wild salmon with fried potatoes, wild mushrooms gnocchi with shaved parmesan. The yummy homemade waffles for dessert are big enough for two. Seating on the river is a big plus in summer.
