Eat and Drink in Berlin
Berlin never stands still. The metropolis is a lively melting pot that attracts an international, open-minded public. Creative people in particular are drawn to the capital. They find enough space to let off steam and try out even the craziest ideas. The culinary offerings in Berlin’s restaurants are therefore just as unusual and diverse as the artistic and cultural ones. Regional and seasonal organic products are currently at the top of the menu. More and more restaurants specialise in vegetarian and vegan dishes or conjure up delicious sustainable dishes on the plate.
Breakfast all day or a bar full of desserts – Berlin restaurants are not afraid to try something new.
