The Best Restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Once one of Berlin's edgier neighborhoods, Prenzlauer Berg has become more of a food destination over the years, as it's welcomed an ongoing influx of creative professionals and new families with young children. Many of the restaurants here are well-established stalwarts, with a loyal clientele. Newcomers are just as likely to offer large, welcoming spaces, but have friendlier service, and more international menus.

The Bird

$ | Prenzlauer Berg

Yes it's run by Americans, and yes it serves burgers, but the Bird, overlooking a corner of Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg, is more than just an expat burger joint—it serves some of the best burgers in Berlin, and it's one of the few spots where "rare" actually means pink and juicy on the inside. Besides cheekily named burgers like the "Bronx Jon" (mushrooms and Swiss cheese), "Da Works" (everything, including guacamole if you ask for it), and the "Lousy Hunter," which is a vegetarian burger, the Bird also serves a mean steak frites suitable for two.
