My all-time favorite is 893. It's somewhat hidden away between the mirrored and graffiti-covered facade, where you wouldn't expect to find a restaurant. Here, The Duc Ngu and his team conjure up Japanese dishes, spiced with other Asian, as well as South American and European influences.

Borchardt
Borchardts is an institution in central Berlin, by Gendarmenmarkt. It is a comfortable place to sit, with a courtyard that is especially lovely in summer. The menu features international dishes and classics such as the award-winning Wiener schnitzel with potato and cucumber salad.

I always enjoy visiting Brasserie Torbar because of its wide selection on the menu. From classic dishes like my beloved homemade pasta with seafood, to other first-class seafood and meat dishes. As the name suggests, the restaurant is also a bar where we like to end the evening with a glass of wine.

Last but not least, there's Coccodrillo . Since opening last year, this restaurant has been considered the city's premier Italian restaurant. It offers excellent and authentic Italian cuisine, featuring homemade classics. But it's not just the food; the unique interior also makes dining a truly memorable experience.
