4 stunning restaurants in Berlin

The once famous Cookies Club in Mitte has been transformed into a super cool restaurant with high-quality Charolais beef dishes on the menu. Crackers is the latest venture of Heinz Gindullis, the food entrepreneur who has given the Berliners yummy vegetarian options like Chipps and Cookies Cream. There are DJ dinner sets on Fridays and Saturdays.

A restaurant, bar and club in one. The restaurant is specialised in beef dishes and offers a lunch menu du jour and a vegetarian dish or grill of the week. The old-school swing bar serves excellent drinks and a nice selection of cigars. And if you feel the need to go clubbing, just go upstairs to their equally stylish club and party on.

A former pharmacy built in 1860, turned into a modern wine bar and restaurant, which serves a fixed three or four-course dinner menu. Their wine list is excellent, a rare occurrence in Berlin. The Ora experience is pretty complete: pharmacy memorabilia, cosy leather couches, fresh, mostly organic food, and excellent signature cocktails. What’s not to like?

After the wall came down, West Berlin swallowed up the eastern part. Berlin Publishing House, featuring fantastic GDR art, was built in 1964 and has now finally been restored. The famous press bar and steakhouse (BEAST) from where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city.
