Tips for choosing the best restaurant in Berlin
Berlin is a capital city, so don't expect to see many restaurants of national cuisine, authentic pubs and pubs here. For the delights of German cuisine, it is better to go to Munich, Dusseldorf or Frankfurt. Berliners themselves are happy to go to the Turkish fast food Döner Kebab to have a hearty and cheap snack on a doner in a bun, eat Turkish pizza. Lahmacun, take an analogue of shawarma Dürüm or a plate of meat, rice and vegetables Döner Teller.
If you want to try national cuisine, we advise you to visit the Nikolayviertel quarter, next to Alexanderplatz. There are many good restaurants where they cook delicious veal liver, smoked pork ribs, meat sausages, pork knuckle, serve beer and schnapps to guests.
Germans love to eat, but green, gluten-free and organic food is popular in Germany in the 21st century. For this reason, they try to make traditional German dishes lighter and healthier.
For fine dining and delicacies, head to Michelin-starred restaurants. There are 14 of them in Berlin. Five establishments have two stars, and nine have one.
If you want to eat hearty, but inexpensively, get away from noisy boulevards and avenues and look for restaurants where Berliners themselves dine. In restaurants for locals, a warm welcome, excellent cuisine and low prices are guaranteed.
Berlin's best restaurants aren't necessarily in the busiest places. Places that convey the atmosphere of the city may be hiding in non-touristy areas, and you have to get to them by metro. "Discovery" of such places is one of the pleasant pleasures during your walks in Berlin.
