I actually prefer Asian food, but once in a blue moon (and when I am feeling rich) I find it interesting to try a “higher end” restaurant, perhaps with one or more Michelin stars or ambitions in that direction, and luckily, I know two others here in Berlin with the same interests.
We often talk about restaurants and decide to “add them to our list”, but up to now, this list has only existed in our heads.
This the start of a more constructive approach:
(I will add links soonest)
Bonvivant
Bostich
Bricole
Chiaro
Ernst
Facil
Faelt
Freundschaft
Glaserei, Mehringdamm 49
Heritage, Charlottenstraße
Il Calice
Kink
Lagalante Ristorante
Le Faubourg
Lode & Stijn
Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer (Interior apparently a bit too classic, but the chef should be really good)
Loumi, Ritterstraße 2, seems to be doing well on an address where many others have tried and given up. Would really like to try this one. EDIT: We did try this one, and found the food and wine excellent, novel, and the service personal and friendly, BUT it took far too long, especially in the beginning we waited much too long between courses, which meant that towards the end of the meal we were annoyed and just wanted to get out of there and did not really enjoy the last two courses the way we should have done.
Macionga
Mored, Münstersche Straße 11, Wilmersdorf, opened December 2023, would very much like to try this one.
Nobelhart & Schmutzig (a vegetarian, Michelin-starred restaurant in the southern end of Friedrichstraße which only Helle would like to visit – the others not so much :-))
Osteria Ribaltone
Pars
Pink Room (?Added by Helle, See more under Random notes)
POTS
Prism
The NoName
Tulus Lotrek
UUU
Volt
RANDOM NOTES:
Mark your calendars! On September 21st a new fine dining restaurant, Pink Room, will open inside the Bellboy Bar in Mitte. The concept promises to be unique – a Levantine-Japanese 9 course omakase menu, curated by Michelin-starred chef Gal Moshe and Bellboy’s head chef Paris Katsampis (formerly of Nobu). The drink pairing is also distinctive, combining cocktails, wine and sake. Japanese egg custard with Chilean Sea Bass and Arak Beurre Blanc, anyone?
Mohrenstraße 30, Thu-Sat From 18h
