Fodor's Review:

The menu changes daily at this fashionable celebrity meeting place. The high ceiling, plush maroon benches, art-nouveau mosaic (discovered during renovations), and marble columns create the impression of a 1920s café. The cuisine is high-quality French-German, including several dishes with fresh fish, veal, and some of Berlin's best (and most tender) beef classics.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
  • Metro: Französische Strasse (U-bahn)

We had a lovely time here 2 nights ago. Was crowded outside but not too much so, the patio was lovely. I was with several Germans (I'm American) who kept looking around to spot celebrities and politicians but were unable to identify anyone, though they may have been there. The food was good - not amazing but we all had steaks. Overall just the right level of good food, good service.

go to Borchardt. A lovely interior, good food, efficient service on a crowded Tesday night in late January when the place was packed, was spoiled for me and perhaps for you by the heaviest haze of cigarette smoke I've seen in years. The place is popular, so small tables are packed together. At one point in a line of 8 tables I spotted 6 cigarettes aglow. And asmoking.
