One of the few traditional, artsy restaurants left in bohemian Charlottenburg, the Lubitsch—named after the famous Berlin film director Ernst Lubitsch and exuding a similar air of faded elegance—serves hearty Berlin and German food hard to find these days. Reminiscent of good old home cooking, dishes like Königsberger Klopse (cooked dumplings in a creamy caper sauce) or Kasseler Nacken mit Sauerkraut (salted, boiled pork knuckle) are devoured mostly by locals, who don't mind the dingy seating or good-humored, but sometimes cheeky service. In summer the outdoor tables make for some great people-watching in one of Berlin's most beautiful streets. Enjoy a three-course lunch for just EUR 10 or EUR 12.
