A brasserie on Französische Straße, near Gendarmenmarkt. The standout dish here is the Wiener schnitzel for me. It's a great place that has managed to stay consistently good over the years.
Address: Französische Str. 47, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Horváth is a modern Austrian restaurant that serves inventive and creative dishes. Everything here is delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. I particularly like how they give you little cards describing each course that you can keep as a memento.
Address: Paul-Lincke-Ufer 44A, 10999 Berlin, Germany
New york style deli, now on Karl-Marx-Straße in Neukölln after years in an old brick building from 1927 that used to be a Jewish girls school. Their pastrami is absolutely delicious and so are their pickles. Comfy seating but very casual and laid back.
Address: Karl-Marx-Straße 101, 12043 Berlin, Germany
A steakhouse on Friedrichstraße looking out over the Spree, open since 2007. Delicious steaks, including wagyu and a great atmosphere.
Address: Friedrichstraße 105b, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Really nice little Vietnamese restaurant. They have seats on the counter but most likely you'll have to sit on shared tables as it's small and very highly in demand. They serve Vietnamese style street food.
Address: Alte Schönhauser Str. 46, 10119 Berlin, Germany
Great chain of bakeries across Berlin. The seating area is nothing special but you're there for the pastries so it doesn't matter.
Address: Konstanzer Str. 1, 10707 Berlin, Germany
