Where to find springy biang biang noodles, flaky börek, peanut sauce-covered Sudanese falafel, and decadent whiskey cornflake ice cream in Germany’s capital
Despite its formidable cultural scene , the German capital has never really been seen as a serious food city. The city isn’t loaded with glamorous dining destinations with international name recognition, especially compared to other powerhouse destinations in Europe — but that comparison is exactly the problem. Berlin isn’t trying to be Paris or Barcelona.
Berlin’s best spots tend to be low-key neighborhood haunts and candlelit bars that feel like living rooms. You can dine well at the fine-yet-fun Otto on a meal prepared by Berlin native and Noma alum Vadim Otto Ursus, and follow it up with an equally compelling meal at lovingly graffitied kebab shop Rüyam. Meanwhile, Berlin’s location at the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe has made it a hub for transplants, who serve an array of khachapuri, ceviche, and curry.
Note: Many Berlin restaurants still only accept cash payment, and service at many places can be almost aggressively inattentive. Chasing down servers to take your order or pay is a regular part of dining out here — embrace it. Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.$$$$=66 euros and up
