The best restaurants in Berlin
Rutz, Berlin (Germany)
Wine plays a special role at Rutz in Berlin, but chef Marco Müller is one of Germany's most ambitious and innovative chefs, the first in Berlin to be awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide. This is not the only reason why the restaurant is so popular with wine connoisseurs, gourmets and critics alike. The wine list is second to none in Berlin.
Falco Mühlichen leads the team according to the standards of the Rutz. The restaurant was completely renovated at the beginning of 2022. Since then, it has offered space for Marco Müller's menu both on the first floor and on the second floor. The concept of the wine bar formerly located on the first floor has been incorporated into the Rutz Zollhaus. Since summer 2024, Rutz has also offered a completely vegetarian menu.
Tim Raue, Berlin (Germany)
Tim Raue's restaurant in Berlin cooks with strong Asian influences. Raue loves Japanese product perfection combined with Thai flavors and Chinese culinary philosophy. Only dishes that provide energy and joie de vivre and do not burden the body are served. As a result, no side dishes such as bread, noodles or rice are served. The ambience of the restaurant is characterized by the urban atmosphere of the city of Berlin and also reflects the chef's career. In addition to Raue classics such as the “Peking duck interpretation TR” and the “Norway lobster & wasabi Canton style”, the menu naturally also includes a vegetarian menu as well as the “menu 8” and the “signature menu”. You can choose between four, six and eight courses.
Horváth, Berlin (Germany)
Austrian Sebastian Frank came to Berlin in 2010 and took up his first position as head chef at Restaurant Horváth. The restaurant is enclosed by a wrought-iron garden fence entwined with vines and is located in the middle of the lively Kreuzberg district on the Landwehr Canal. The restaurant has a long tradition. The walls are steeped in gastronomic history - after all, restaurants have been in these rooms for almost 100 years. The address became famous when the Austrian philosopher and writer Oswald Wiener founded the “Exil” in 1973, which quickly became a hotspot for artists and cultural figures. Here, people feasted and laughed, philosophized and drank, and anyone sitting in the room with the old wooden panels immediately senses that Kreuzberg nights can be very long. The simple elegance of the unconventional starred restaurant contrasts well with the individual taste experiences at a high level served by Sebastian Frank and his team. The creative dishes represent the essence of Austrian country cuisine.
