Around Berlin
In a baroque half-timbered house in the historic centre, this local favourite gets things right from morning to night. The breakfast selection is legendary, the cakes homemade and the main dishes (including steaks from the lava grill) creative, fresh and ample. In summer, terrace tables spill out onto the pedestrian zone. Kids' menu available.
The three-course 'business lunch' changes daily; it's served on weekdays from noon to 3pm, and is a steal at €8.90.
