Fodor's Expert Review 5 - Cinco by Paco Pérez

Catalan chef Paco Pérez, a disciple of Ferran Adrià of Spain's legendary elBulli, offers two tasting menus of colorful and playful food, highlighting the maximum flavor of each ingredient and containing some fun surprises; you can also order à la carte. If you are curious and want something less dear, try a less expensive sampling of the chef's food next door at The Casual. The contemporary interior stands in stark contrast to Berlin’s vintage-obsessed establishments: walls mix slick tile with dark wood, and the ceiling is hung with a jumble of bronze pots, pans, and jugs.
