Had a team dinner here and was disappointed. Service was incredibly pushy with drinks, pouring wine and water relentlessly even when we told them to back off. Food was incredibly salty, particularly the mains, as if another tactic to get you to drink more. Meat was well cooked and sauced, if it hadn't been for the salt, might have been enjoyable. Desserts were another big miss, tonka bean in one dish blinded all the other flavors and the nutmeg in another did the same. Was like eating pumpkin spice straight. The hipster vibe was fine, but not really when it came to the bathrooms, which were underwhelming unwelcoming. I wouldn't go back.

Terrine de Foie gras is PERFECT. Even for this taste only it is worth to go there! (29€)
After starter Filet de tourbotte with truffels and shafrain, served on risotto - very good! (44€)
Cream brulee - ok. It is teasty, but shugar is not carmelized till it looks like glas, but still have pices what distroys consistency.
Many wines to choose.

Two Michelin stars... Rated in the top 50 restaurants in the world.... Yes, this restaurant was better than good. There's a set menu of 8 courses taking 3 hours to consume. There is a vegan option, too. Service was tip top. Each course had fresh utensils. All of this comes with a cost. My companion and I split a bottle of wine and had sparkling water. The final bill before tip was 700 Euros. Before you pass out, look closely at the picture of the menu. Every course was like nothing I've ever tasted. And I live in New Orleans, where weird stuff gets cooked all the time. If you ever get to Germany, it's worth a pilgrimage trip eat at this restaurant.

I came with my husband two years ago and we loved it. We decided to come again for a special date and we were very disappointed.

The feta was EXTREMELY salty, the brioche buns (that last time were fresh) were dry. The pumpkin gnocchi were good but my husband ordered fish and it had no taste + the panko that covered the fish was very hard. The cheesecake was okay but not as good as the one we ate last time.

The food would be okay for a 10€ restaurant but when you pay 27€ for a fish dish or 14€ for a cheesecake you expect fine dining, not gas station bistro quality.

I don't know what happened to Crackers, we were the first time in January 2021 and even though it was in the pandemic era, we had such an amazing dinner because the service and the plates were incredibly amazing.
Unfortunately a few days ago we went again and the food was not good: the bread wasn't fresh, it tasted like it was baked long hours ago (or even a day before). We ordered a starter, the feta one and it was incredibly salty, it tasted bad and we informed the waiter who said that she informed the kitchen about it. The main plates were a gnocchi plate which was good but mine wasn't, the Halibut had a panko bread almost burnt which changed the whole flavor from the plate, also the sauce wasn't good as it only tasted to dill. Very disappointed because for the price we were expecting higher quality like the first time we visited the restaurant.
At the end we ordered the cheesecake which contained just one strawberry and it was a frozen one, for 14 euros dessert at least put some fresh fruits.
Three of us went there for lunch and it was outstanding. We had 4 courses + wine pairing and everything was tasty, fresh and sparkling with intense flavor. Both me and my (spoiled ;) friends were absolutely happy and satisfied. Service was attentive and worked together like a greatly organized orchestra. 10/10 experience

I can not believe how this restaurant got a star. Unlike other reviews stated, service was good and fast for us since we had told we were in a hurry at the beginning. BUT not single dish was good. Nothing special. Desert was some chopped strawberries. I was disappointed and do not recommend here for fine dining. I ate at several Michelin restaurants and this was the worst. I am sorry..

We had a very nice dinner there: fish and vegetables were great and so was the wine. Tartar was missing just a little bit of softness, in my opinion, but I’m very picky when it comes to raw meat. Dessert (beschwipstes sorbet) felt like a little orgasm in the mouth, awesome! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, a very good experience overall.

After we arrived, things didn't take time to degrade, the 5 courses set menu took an agonogizing 3h45mns to come to end, a slow death by all means, it took them 1hr between fish and meat and even waited 20mns with empty glasses, we were forced to call someone to refill our glasses with the water bottle laying on a service table 2 m away from us.
We had to resend my meat dish which they confirmed will come without pork, but was covered with iberico, showed how their room to kitchen communication works.
So Stuffing ourselves on bread while waiting desesperately for food to arrive, at 23h55 when deserts (finally !) got to our table, we immediately asked for the check fearing to have to wait perhaps till their closure to pay.
Almost 4 hrs of agony, waiting for 5 dishes, is what I will remember from this place. Total kitchen & service failure, despite good dishes. The diner was longer than a round trip flight to Paris. I do not see how this place deserve a michelin star,
Ps: not even strong excuses at the end, just a plain recognition they were a bit long. 3h45 mns for 5 dishes, it's a slow death!

This is a Michelin-starred restaurant that I had the pleasure of dining at recently.
I was very impressed by the cuisine, which was both refined and inventive. The dishes were perfectly executed and the flavors were perfectly balanced.
The wine selection was also excellent. The sommelier gave me valuable advice on how to pair my wines with my dishes.
The service was impeccable, with attentive and professional staff.
I highly recommend this restaurant to all lovers of fine dining. It is an unforgettable experience.

Best dining experience I had in Berlin so far, a step beyond other places in its class. The langoustine was heavenly, the beef simply exquisite - I get waves of pleasure just remembering that dish. Perfect, subtle wine pairing. Professional, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere. Top notch all around, even though the ambiance could maybe do with a little update, slightly 90s vibes. But that is purely a nitpick, we had a wonderful evening and considering the quality of the kitchen and service you have to wonder - why only one star! Can't wait to come back.

This Michelin-starred restaurant is an impeccable experience. From the tender zucchini to the delectable veal and exquisite pavlova, the variety of flavors delights the palate. The extensive selection of wines by the glass adds to the elegance. The professional and friendly service is the cherry on top. A must-visit for gastronomy enthusiasts, where everything is simply perfect.

We recently dined at Patio restaurant and I must say, the experience was quite a mixed bag. Let me break down my thoughts on various aspects of the evening.

Firstly, the food. We opted for the 3-course menu, and right from the beginning, we were pleasantly surprised. The starters, accompanied by delightful cocktails, were a promising start. The flavors were well-balanced, and it set a positive tone for the rest of the meal. Moving on to the main course, the slow-cooked veal was a true highlight. It was tender, succulent, and packed with flavor. But what truly stood out were the various preparations of broccoli. The innovative and creative approach to cooking broccoli in different styles was a unique touch that added depth to the meal.

However, despite the impressive culinary offerings, the atmosphere left something to be desired. The restaurant boasts an excellent view of the water, which should have contributed to a captivating ambiance. However, strangely enough, the atmosphere felt somewhat anonymous. It's as if the beautiful view didn't fully translate into an immersive experience. Perhaps the choice of lighting, music, or decor could have played a role in creating a more engaging environment.

On the upside, the service at our table was truly exceptional. The staff was attentive, courteous, and knowledgeable about the menu. Their professionalism elevated the overall dining experience and made us feel well taken care of.

In conclusion, our experience at Patio restaurant was positive but not without its drawbacks. The culinary journey was a delightful one, with standout dishes like the slow-cooked veal and the creatively prepared broccoli. The service was top-notch and contributed positively to the evening. However, the lackluster atmosphere somewhat hindered the full enjoyment of the stunning waterfront view. It's worth noting that our visit was on a regular Tuesday evening, and this might have influenced the overall ambiance. It's possible that choosing a different timing could lead to a more spectacular and immersive experience.

All in all, while there were certain aspects that could be improved upon, we left Patio restaurant with a generally favorable impression. With a few adjustments to the atmosphere, this place has the potential to provide an exceptional dining experience that matches the quality of its cuisine.

Tim Raue is a bit like the Berghain of restaurants, known by everyone even outside Berlin. While it's indeed a fantastic place, its reputation often exceeds the actual experience. In particular, if you're a well-traveled foodie who's explored fine dining in places like Hong Kong, you might not be as wowed as some other visitors.

That said, I've never had a bad time here. I've enjoyed every visit and can't verify occasional complaints about the staff from other reviews.

The quality/price ratio is so disappointing. €28 for two pieces of salmon placed on plain rice without any sauce, I've never seen that. You can easily find better elsewhere.

Let’s start with short notice that this was the best food experience I had since 2019!
Me and my friend were there last Friday and we got the menu including wine pairing.
The night started with 7(!) Amuse-Gueule and the yummiest glas of bubbles (Greece) I ever had!
It would take too long to describe every single dish BUT:
the best dish of the year so far was Sultan Ibrahim | Calamari | Kusa!
WOW!
Mind-blowing!
I didn’t even need the piece of fish,the sauce was already SOOO good!
Respect!
The lady of the house was the perfect person to guide us through the night:
Funny,informative,friendly,not too much but also not too little!
Just all in all a perfect dinner!
And tbh:they deserve more than one star!

Really cool and cozy atmosphere.
Loved the food. Definitely worth going. It is a bit expensive but totally worth it for some special occasions or when you are in a mood for fine dining. Don't forget to have the cheesecake!

We were here to celebrate a birthday, and everything was great. Even the bread was super delicious. Will return for sure.
This review is for the uninitieted in these kind of restaurants. For the ones that are looking for an experience beyond what they can imagine; for the ones that like to eat good food and had have good food. My review is not going to be read by the pretentious that give this restaurant awards; even if those awards are well deserved. This review is for you, the one that's looking for something else in this reality; for the ones that something deep down tells you that there's meaning on the smalls things in everyday life.
Tim Raue is one of those rare places on earth that automatically reminds you that the world is more than it seems. Their food tastes like memories. How so? I really don't know. The only reference I have is the movie Ratatouille. Remember the scene where Anton Ego had the first bite of the signature dish and it automatically took his mind into his most cherished childhood memories? That's how Tim Raue's dishes taste like.
If you're an Asian food fan, whether it be Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese or any other Southeast Asian cusine; if you've ordered any of those for a movie night, for a time were you were sad and looking for confort food, whether you were looking for a quick bite, or if you're lucky: had the opportunity to try those cuisines in their country of origin; this place will take you to that exact place at the first bite, not only flavorwise, mentally, as these flavors are sensed not only with your tongue, but your soul, and your experience will only go up from there.
Don't get confused, when you reserve for restaurants like these, you have to be aware that every bite you have it's a bite of the chef's soul and its love for gastronomy, which by extension it's a bite to your own soul and your love for yourself.
If you're in here just because you want to show off to someone that you've been in one of the best restaurants in the world and then talk thrash about it because your pride demands it, go ahead; pay €500 to be a pretentious prick and keep this place alive; but if you want to experience what your sense of taste can do to your experience as a human and you're lucky enough to afford it and conscientious enough to appreciate these kind of art, you're not going to regret it.
My girlfriend and I had a spectacular timehere. Being visitors in Berlin, the menu, true to its intention, was a vibrant showcase of Bradenburg. Having worked in restaurants in New York, getting a seat at the counter and being able to watch the precision and care given to the food by all the staff was such a treat. The wine program was also faultless and the Sommeliers, especially Alexander, were excellent. They let us try much more than we payed for and were extremely generous with their time.

We can’t wait to come back!
Don't know how to properly rate this place. Restaurant looks very nice but you just need to trust my word as you can't take pics inside. We had 11 courses meal + extra paid dish (meat). All was very good, great drinks but...

It's all very simple cousine. I understand the idea that they source everything locally but some of the dishes were super basic like mashed potatos or just radish. If you come to Berlin from other continent like Asia or America, then N&S might be a great place to try perfectly made, real local food. But if you are from Germany, Poland, Czech and all other "potato-Europe" countries just look for a different place. This place simply lacks the wow factor.

The restaurant itself was beautiful but unfortunately, this is where the positives end. The food really lacked inspiration. While it is great to highlight local produce in the Brandenburg region, this concept of hyper-local fine-dining is not new and certainly does not give the restaurant a pass to cook sub-par food. Everything was under seasoned and quite bland.

The wait staff were also very pretentious. We asked for a wine recommendation and the owner went on a rant about how he doesn't know and proceeded to lecture us about how everyone has different preferences for food, drinks, style etc. While this is true, when you come to a restaurant, you certainly want to hear an expert opinion. This kind of pseudo-intellectualism is simply pretentious and lazy.

There is also a no-photo rule which is fine and just as well, because the plating was not particularly inspired.

Really not worth the price at all.
The place is nice and the atmosphere is good. Food is not necessarily bad but the menu is definitely not worth 200,- € nor is the overall experience worth one Michelin star. The culinary experience is really just mediocre.

Good presentation, decent ambience , great views and location.
Was a bit warm inside.
No food choices. Just a preset 6 [ 180E ] or 8 [ 220 E ] course menu, plus alcohol.
I felt it was on the expensive side for the overall experience, you only live once.

Crackers is a hidden gem in the centre of Berlin. In fact, it is so hidden that we walked past it 3 times until we finally found the entrance. It was a very fun experience as the restaurant has a unique vibe and atmosphere. The service was very attentive and fast. The cocktails are outstanding as well as their shots. The food was also very tasty, especially the meat. I highly recommend:)

One of the best M1s I’ve visited. Beautiful views of Berlin. Inspired menu. Wine pairing slapped. Gotta do this one.
We went here yesterday for the first time. My wife and I had different dishes and we were both blown away! The fish/crab dishes were especially amazing! Perfect wine pairing to go along and the service was exceptional. Had all the information, everything came on time but they were all still open for a little chat in-between. My wife's favorite was the king crab, mine the pigeon. I must confess the desert was the weakest link but still amazing... All in all, I would come again and recommend it to anyone who is into artisan cooking!
Truly special & unique experience, pricey, but ultimately you get what you pay for. Well deserved spot on top 50 restaurants in the world.

A very enticing view of the skyline of Berlin, with friendly and attentive staff. The food exceeded expectations and delivered on every dish (of an 8 course meal). The small additions of the chef coming to great the guests, great Amuse-bouche dishes and a great atmosphere made the overall experience outstanding!

Tim Raue manages to not just deliver exciting dishes but also really delicious ones. We recently visited other two star restaurants and this was definitely the best one. The place is not as fancy as some other restaurants in terms of decoration but we still liked the atmosphere and vibe they had.

Recently ate at two other Michelin star restaurants and sadly, we liked this one the least.

Started with a single, okay pea amuse. Not very impressive.

We also had a char (fish) starter in Sky Kitchen that we were wild about, so we were looking forward to it here. Unfortunately, it was kind of bland-tasting here.

Grilled leek and mussle dish worked very well and we enjoyed it.

Also really enjoyed the seabass with the rich, meaty sauce. That was the highlight.

The lamb was nice too, well-cooked and high quality but didn't feel elevated enough from the way I can make it at home to be memorable.

Dessert was disappointing. Some nice ice sheep milk ice cream with okay walnut ice cream, but an unspectacular spiced apple. Again, we liked dessert at the other restaurant better. Enjoyed the rich cider that was paired with it.

One of us paid a supplement to have a cheese dessert instead. I expected a selection of cheeses but it was one bigger piece with a spiced cracker and a compote. It was underwhelming, especially at an extra charge.

We got a lemon amuse right at the end, which I enjoyed.

Really enjoyed the wine pairings, though I would have preferred the price of full pairing to be more obvious in the menu beforehand. A request to drink half glasses was declined when we asked, which I thought was kind of strange, but we just shared a glass a few times and it was fine.

Service was fine, warm and friendly, but we had to wait too long for desert (maybe because we went for 5 instead of 6 courses, but the wait got a bit on my nerves).

The atmosphere was nice, cool art, a pre-WW2 ceiling.

The price was cheaper than the other restaurant we visited and it was okay for the amount of dishes. It's just that not all dishes were up to par.

All in all, an okay experience and we had a nice evening. However, me and my partner independently arrived at the conclusion that a bib gourmand restaurant we frequently visit at home beats this one, consistently, at a lower price, so I think Richard needs to step it up a bit.

served by very friendly staff and authentic Japanese food. Amazed by the quality of the fish, not technically an omakase procedure but a really lovely set menu, highly recommend.

It’s good but for some reason not memorable. I have been to a few similar places by now so my expectations were high. The food was good to very good but nothing completely stood out to me. Prices are also high for what is offered. I had much better experience for half the price. So left feeling it wasn’t worth it. Overall good to try, but I do not feel like it’s worth recommending.

Great location, 14th floor of the Intercontinental hotel in Berlin, great views especially in the evening. The food is equaly amazing especially the fish serving and deserts. The wine pairing is absolutely fantastic, every wine is served at the right tempetature and goes hand in hand with the food. Another impressive aspect is how well the serving is done, not only thoroughly explained but also tailered to every guest, makes you feel special and welcomed. Definitely a restaurant to visit again!
What an experience. The team were very communicative by email as we booked for a large group. On the day they were great and took great care of us. The food is delicate and innovative. We booked a 5 course lunch and would have loved to have eaten all 8 courses!! It’s not a cheap meal, but it’s one you’ll spend the rest of the day talking about!

All in all an excellent experience. Spectacular interior. The omnivore menu was thoughtfully composed and executed masterfully. Minimalistic presentation - portions which are luckily accompanied by sensational bread and extra gravy… wine choice by sommelier was courageous with some unexpected trouvailles. Highly recommended.

Beautiful restaurant on the spree. Had an event organized 2 days prior successfully with the Patio team (Yannick). Great price, food, service and ambience. Our menu consisted of a Ceaser salad which was finely seasoned with a variety of touches and the main was Braised beef shoulder with potato gratin fried seasonal vegetables. The beef was super good and the fried cauliflower was perfect with the sauce. After dinner feel free to enjoy the downstairs lounge which is truly beautiful with multiple aquariums and a fireplace. Thank you to Patio team for quickly and efficiently providing us with a memorable night.

Crackers was initially hard to find with its contrasting entrance. However I quite liked the entrance. It seems you’re entering through the back entrance, through a dark alley with a neon sign, you’ll find a photo machine on the left (you can pay by card), then you go in through the kitchen until you reach the dining room.
The bread and garlic butter were nice as was the rest of the food. The steak plate is definitely overpriced as everything is paid separately, even the sauce is paid separately with the cheapest sauce being 6€. Despite the restaurant being overpriced the service was excellent.

Great restaurant, great service, excellent food. Fresh, plump oysters; great fried foix gras appetizer; amazing French onion soup; perfectly cooked fillet mignon and delicious king prawn tagliatelle. Everything, including the dessert and cocktails, was spot on. The waiter was extremely helpful, especially when it came to food/wine pairing - really nailed it. Not a cheap restaurant but worth it, considering the quality of food and service.

High quality and tasty food. Many options for various preferences. For me meat menu, most appetizers and desserts are very good. They change the menu seasonally but standards seem to be consistent. But fish and bread on the other hand don’t spark my joy. Service was excellent. Staffs were professional, helpful and nice. Atmosphere was nice. Entrance was a bit confusing.

Disappointing. We had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews. I can't believe it's been given a Michelin star. I've been to several Michelin starred restaurants and this is the worst. The food was nicely presented but the flavours didn't work. They were either overwhelming, in the case of one dish with miso, or too heavily reliant on burnt flavours. There was nothing new, exciting, or interesting about the dishes. Each tiny dish took much too long to arrive, no doubt because they took a long time to prepare, but I don't understand how they managed to not taste good. There was one dish with verbena and champagne which was truly awful. The service was cold and utilitarian. The chefs looked so unhappy, and it was expressed in their creations. It took over 3 hours to have an unsatisfactory dinner that left us hungry. Even the recommended German sparkling wine was sub par. I have had better bottom shelf supermarket offerings. We would have left sooner, but I was determined to extract some value out of the expense. A quenelle, a dehydrated disc, and some hay doesn't make a good meal or restaurant.
Go elsewhere. Berlin has so many better restaurants.

The most disappointing Michelin star meal I have ever had..the staff do not seem excited at all about the food. There is no passion in what they do. I felt the vegetables where slaughtered. Everything tasted the same, burnt and over flavoured.

What got me the most was we had reserved weeks ago and clearly stated that I have an aversion to eggs. Despite that and despite being asked about eggs I was twice served dishes with eggs. I did not eat then and was very disappointed that no attempt was made to provide an alternative.. in addition I returned two dishes as they simply weren't good enough.

My partner and I both left disappointed and felt we'd wasted our time and money. We also left hungry. However,.nearby are many better places to eat and off we went and paid for more food elsewhere for a fraction of the price! I've never done that after leaving any other Michelin star restaurant!
Expectations were high and unfortunately they were not fully satisfied. Some dishes lacked balance - chicken was very salty, it destroyed my palate for the dessert, so I couldn’t enjoy it. Some dishes were refreshing and interesting, but some of them lacked that gastronomic innovation one would expect from Michelin starred restaurant.
Poor English of staff didn’t help.
We had better gastronomic experiences in Berlin for less than half the price.

Came her for valentines day and had a wonderful dinner. The truffle butter is delicious, and the service was fantastic. We got the turbot and the filet, both cooked to perfection and tasted great. We got the caramel brulee and another dessert to top it off; wasn’t a fan of either.

This place was very packed, and rightfully so. Would definitely come back!
Nobelhart & Schmutzig is a unique experience for sure. The outside looks mysterious and you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into.
Once you rang the doorbell and someone lets you in, you’ll be placed at a bar, looking at a large open kitchen.
Cellphones are not allowed so everyone is focused on the food and the people, which is nice.
We had a 10 course dinner with all very unique tastes. Everything was local and selected with love and care. Instead of an alcohol pairing we had the local juices, and to be honest, it’s the best drink pairing I’ve had during a dinner.
Every time a surprise. From strawberry juice to apple pine, all so good.
Even for our anniversary we got a complimentary lemon pie.
It’s not a cheap night out, but it is one you will remember for a long time. We had a blast!

Very nice atmosphere and very good food well presented.
You can choose from 2 menus: one is vegetarian and one is regular. I chose the regular one and I enjoyed every single course. The sole was absolutely delicious, the meat too.
Very kind and friendly service.
The reservation is highly recommended.

Very exciting experience at Hugos restaurant. Since the very first moment you step in the restaurant located at the 14th floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in Berlin (the elevator is located on the left side of the lobby) you will be able to enjoy the excellent service of the staff working at the restaurant.
The 6 courses menu was simply delicious and the creativity of the Chef will make you enjoy new tastes.
Nice atmosphere and definitely one of the best restaurants in Berlin.

We had the 6-course tasting menu paired with wine. They cook food seriously, and what’s more highlighting is the wine pairing and sommeliere, we enjoy his professional explanation very much.

From the moment I first started communicating with Hugos it was a five star experience. Communicating with Nicolas was a smooth, and enlightening experience while we navigated my reservation. Skip to months later, I arrived to Hugos and from the moment my boyfriend and I walked in it was as if we were being treated as royalty. I didn't once touch a door handle as they would always beat me to it and hold the door open, they paid great attention to the details (in a way I never could've fathomed). From intentionally pulling out my chair and replacing my napkin when I would stand up, to the artistry of every dish we had. It was more than I could have imagined, truly. The wine pairing was magnificent and every description given to us was an exact replication of the flavors in the wines. Each course that came out had perfect dimension and layers along with a fine attention to detail. Some flavors I never knew existed. By the end of the meal I felt as though Nicolas and his team felt like family by the interaction and the comfort in the atmosphere. I would hands down recommend this experience to anyone and I will be returning when I return to Berlin once again. With the price tag you may be a bit wary but this is much more than a restaurant, it's a fully immersive experience. Thank you.

I would have appreciated if the very nice and welcoming waitress would have told me that a glass of champagne was 23€, it’s was great and very tasteful, I also know that I should have asked for the price. So what I’m trying to say here it’s just a minor thing that could have been cleared out to avoid discomfort when the bill arrived.
Anyways the food the attention and the deco is really nice.
We had the tasting and some good wine and a great evening. We’ll be back!
We knew this was a great place, but didn’t look up too much about it. Had a gift certificate we got from a friend. Meant to use it for many months, and when we finally did the night was blast. It was three of us.

The seating is either at the bar, or better yet the fully surrounding table with the kitchen in the middle, OR it is on one of the extra large community tables. And it also got me thinking that it is rather good for couples or larger groups. Less so for smaller groups. Then again it worked out fine for the three of us.

The food was amazing. All locally sourced, meaning Germany, Brandenburg and Berlin. Even the Saffron that was used in one of the dishes. I thought this was a joke and looked it up after, turns out there is a tiny place that grows it in Germany. Wild.

The wine was also very balanced with the food. For sure. 10/10 experience when it comes to food and the all around helpfulness of the staff. They explained it all rather well. My favorite part of the whole night was the home made butter. Wow. So much flavor. It was amazing. ✨🧈 ✨

They don’t want people to take photos in the restaurant. I highly respect this, I like keeping the vibe in the place #phoneless. Which makes for a much nicer evening. Hence I took some picts at the door and in bathroom. Enjoy!

If you want to experience incredible, experimental and bold fine dining at Berlin's best, Prism is one unique establishment that is supremely recommended.

Expect to be mind blown by the devilishly unique flavours that come at you from all angles. The head chef takes food from all corners of the middle east, from places you do not expect food to come from in many ways. Squid ink, Lebonease lobster, and Israeli caviar is just an example. And it works so exquisitely.

The team there has such an intimate knowledge of the food and wine that the whole experience was worth every cent. This understated restaurant knows how to create an environment for your mouth to be delighted.

Good luck trying to get a table. It books out well in advance. We went with the 'concept' wine pairing, which was perfect for trying such unique wines from around the Mediterranean. Sommelier Jacqueline has an incredible knowledge of wines and tells beautiful stories of her first-hand experience with the winemakers and the wines.

An experience at Prism is telling a story through food. Expect to spend a few cents to enjoy it, but they are worth every cent.

Outstanding ! tasting menu, each and every single course was amazingly delicious. I had the chance to taste the vegetarian menu( bites from my wife’s ) as well as my own omnivore one. The recommended German wine by the sommelier was also excellent. Also the service was excellent. So to me this is an exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.

An amazing French restaurant! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service is fast and the dishes are exceptionally delicious! The quality of the food is really good. We got 1 appetizer, 2 main dishes and 1 desert, all of them were extremely tasty. Highly recommend!!

Bandol is an amazing restaurant that you wouldn't expect to be as small as it is ... 😊
But even in its compactness, everything is perfectly arranged and organized, as well as being extremely pleasant and welcoming .... 🤗
"Fixed" menu with the possibility of adding some "extras" and top wines ... BUT chez Bandol the soul of the place is the passion❤️‍🔥 of those who manage it which reflects on the food ... Food that becomes a means to surprise guests🌟 and take them to a new gastronomic dimension! 🌟 Exciting 🌟(super bonus, as an Italian, for the fantastic bread) !!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

An absolutely mind-blowing experience! My wife and I had a wonderful night at this restaurant for our last night in Berlin. We thought they deserved another star. The staffs are super nice and knowledgeable about everything they are doing. I especially love their wine pairing that the wine they choose is a such a rare find. I hope they would provide the list somewhere maybe online so I can buy them! Thanks again for a wonderful night!!

My husband and I went there for our wedding dinner just the two of us and our little dog.

This is one of the best Michelin restaurants we have been. We felt in love with the place. The little attention details, the service, the atmosphere, the food, the drinks (wine and champagne) everything was absolutely stunning.

We both took the meat and fish menu but there is also a vegetarian option. One can sit inside or outside on the beautiful terrace.

Highly recommending and definitely coming back.

‚Party in the mouth‘ and the dessert was an ‚explosion in the mouth‘

The team was wonderful, we had a unique gin whilst waiting for the last in our party to arrive - with ingredients we would meet again in the dishes throughout the evening.

Apart from the meat (lamb) course (meat a bit tough & not a fan of sweat bread) - the overall experience was a wonderful journey. 6 amuse bouche, pre-dessert and everything of the highest quality created like the fine gin we had ending with a sometimes unexpected, but exciting, tail notes. Overall proportioning was perfect and we did not feel stuffed but definitely satisfied after the four hour journey through the Mediterranean. Camel tartar was a first for me. The main dessert was an eye opener with such a massive mix of flavours and explosions in the mouth, something I’ve never had before - even at R4D in Ubud nothing has matched. The petit fours wrapped up the dinner with style.

Kudos to the sommelier - we chose the regular pairing - as she not only has an intimate knowledge of the wines, but also the vineyard owners and their history that lead to making these unique, perfectly paired tipples.
What happens in N&S stays in N&S, but I can tell you it’s really good and I was blown away. Come as you are and you can have a relaxed evening of incredible food and drink, with great company. And if you have been waiting for a reason to go, if you pay through Luca app they’ll cover 20% of your total which—unusually—was a nice surprise when the bill came. Thank you for a memorable evening.

I had the best meal of my life there, no exaggeration. The food was truly perfect, taking you on an adventure with every bite and the prices are very, very justified.

A special thank you to Teo and Marc!

It was my first time at TULUS Lotrek and a great place for a real Michelin experience. To be frank this restaurant is on its way to 2 stars. All dishes were absolutely great and by some aspects it reminds me the kitchen of Christoph Kunz (former cook Alois in Munich). Wine pairing was also great. Most important the crew friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere very relax. I'll be back there next time I am in Berlin.

Heard good things about this Michelin starred restaurant so went to try it. There was a 15 course dinner for 159 Euros and overall it was pretty good. Particularly the two main courses were very tasty.

There were some dishes that I didn't like as much as the flavours were too strong / had a big soy sauce like taste to it.

It did take quite long for the food to all come out and for us to finish. From when we arrived to when we left, it was almost four hours. If the te could be shortened, that would be better.

Beautiful decor, friendly service and nice venue... let down by inconsistent 4 course tasting menu. Great starters... but steak main was not seasoned properly and chocolate desert was average. Needs refinement to become world class.

A very authentic and tasteful experience. All around exactly how I would imagine fine dining in Japan would feel and taste like, from the extremely polite and helpful service to the fresh and silky tastes of sashimi and wagyu.

There are moments in time, that everything comes together. Our ZENKICHI experience brought everything together. Their private and secluded 'pop-up' restaurant is serene, the service is something you don't see in Western-Europe and the food, the food is phenomenal, you can taste the love and care that has been put in creating these one of a kind flavors.

Accompanied by a Sake tasting - who knows Sake could be more promising than wine - you are in for a dining experience you'll only experience a few times in your life. Just wait till you taste that cable cod.

Besides that our evening had a spectacular finale - which could only be this great because of the lovely people of ZENKICHI. A very special memory, thank you again.

Great place, definitely not a “miss” in terms of food and drinks selection. The taste is sophisticated, however, a little bit plain. But in general I prefer spicy and “sauced” food rather than more classy taste which is served here.

Also good service!

Been a fan of Chef Moshe from his time at Glass. A few years of absence from Berlin and a visit to Prism has shown me the amount of maturity and growth in the artistry of his cuisine. Sublime, impeccable food. The wine list can be improved. Well deserved star and highly recommended. Cannot wait to visit Berlin again to enjoy his new creations.

I am like most people when I see small dishes for "greater-than-average" prices. Is it really worth it? The answer is yes. All kinds of yes. I've never had service or food on this level before. The waitress stroke the perfect balance of entertainment, service and letting us enjoy ourselves. The tasting menu is a journey curated by the Chef and lead by the staff. Each piece of food, adding to the mosaic of flavors and textures that is your dinner. Is there a 6th star that I can give?

We stopped here for a few drinks. The location is very central with beautiful views. There are nice areas on the top deck and lower deck if you want to enjoy a meal with ambiance. At the back of the boat is a small area for a large group that is private with 2 swings hanging over the water. In the lowest level, there is an aquarium and dance floor for parties. If I lived in Berlin, I would definitely rent this space for a private event!

A really great example of casual fine dining done right. It was very refreshing to enjoy the big city vibes through the minimalistic designed open restaurant whilst enjoying the exceptional food.

Speaking of food: I fairly enjoyed every dish! This is very much a cultural experience just as much as an artistic in regards of the dishes. Expect great quality ingredients, carefully plated and yet not overly complicated put together. My favorite was the eggplant. The sweet one.

Staff is friendly and does an excellent job presenting and leading through the evening. They take careful notice of your need and habits, like offering extra tastings or additional breaks.

I have nothing bad to say. My only surprise was the fact that they do not accept American Express cards- something i would consider almost mandatory for a Michelin restaurant. I have never encountered one that doesn’t.

We had the 5 course vegetarian “land” tasting menu and most of it was quite good (braised fennel was skippable) service was prompt, friendly and attentive, but didn’t quite match the price of the menu. The boat and surrounding were quite nice.

Definitely one of the best places for fine dining in Berlin. Excellent food, we enjoyed each single course very much. Each dish had a great twist that added a interesting note to their taste. The corresponding wines were excellently selected and recommended. The service was great, very nice and attentive. All in all a great place to enjoy a great evening
Maybe the best japanisch food I've ever had. Without a doubt. Tasting 10 different fish was quite incredible. Different cooked method and preparations. You dont have enough. It was an amazing experience and service was very qualified, polite and friendly ( as most japanish). Totally recommended

Another Michelin Star restaurant with unique and amazing chef. Very talented chef who made amazing food. You have to witness the food and see how it is prepared to really appreciate the talent. The kitchen is small but how the chef manages it is exceptional. The staff is very friendly and we were greeted very nicely. We were asked about the preferences and they did everything they could to make our experience awesome and they were successful.

The layered dessert was just amazing!! Thank you!!

Very authentic japanese Omakase menu. Would 100% come back. The sake pairing went really well with the food (and we dont consider ourselves Sake people) and they were all really delicious.

The food was excellent and overall great experience. The staff was really friendly and the interior is beautiful. It’s also a perfect setting for dinner with friends in current corona times because all the tables are within separated booths.

Really great experience! Interesting, delicious dishes with different flavor profiles than you'd normally find in Berlin. Drink suggestions were great as well. We enjoyed everything and the staff made us feel at home.
The flavors are bold yet balanced, the textures amazing. Very fascinating combinations. Great food, and some of the dishes were the best I've tasted in months.
Special shotout to the care and inventiveness that has gone into the non-alcoholic pairing.
The atmosphere is relaxed and a bit quirky. Alexander is a great host, and Andreas an excellent chef to watch.
If you care for Michelin stars, I'd dare say this restaurant is underrated.
Bring some time though - such a tasting menu deserves to be enjoyed.

Traditional French dishes done in a quaint small joint with some very attentive service.
Food quality is great and the prices are very high - but hey - you signed up for it if you came to dine here. While we did not have any drinks, the wine list appeared to have some interesting stuff in there. Meat was very good, sauces done just right and desserts were also good. Overall, pricey place for a traditional French meal when that urge cannot be resisted any more!!

Super nice and one of the best fine dining restaurants in Berlin. The service is amazing, their knowledge about what wine goes with what and their general attitude is just perfect.
This is your location for a romantic dinner or a fancy business dinner.
Wine is a bit pricey compared to quality but the selection is exquisite.

We started with a sake tasting which was a nice array of flavors. The food here was good. Beef tataki, black cod, tofu sampler, veg tempura all a la carte but the tasting menus looked quite good.
We've been here for the second time and we enjoyed it very much both times.
The location is unpretentious and yet decent stylish.
The food was exceptional and all 6 courses were at a very high level. Especially the bread is worth a visit.
We didn't have the wine pairing but asked for just three wines which was no problem at all and the team still managed to serve great wines perfectly complementing the food.
We will definitely come back on our next trip to Berlin.

Zenkichi might have become my favorite restaurant in the world. It was so amazing! The smells walking in were pleasant, I was seated in a private booth with a screen, and the food was delectable.

Definitely go if you enjoy Japanese cuisine.
