Berlin for my friends -Berlin News from a West-Berliner
Specially restaurant reviews in Charlottenburg area and other news
Since the reunification Berlins Restaurant scene became tremendous good and is now the leading in Germany. Gusto – besides the Michelin and Gault Millau a reliable guide – published now his 2020 rankings of the best restaurants in Germany.
Great pleasure in the “Pots” in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Potsdamer Platz.
I don’t usually go to five-star hotels for dinner. Usually the cuisine is not as good as you might think at that price. And the drink prices are off. As I always pay for our restaurant visits myself and we often go out, the price is also important.
Everything is different in Pots. The prices are normal, but the cuisine is going towards Michelin stars. In the 2020 Gusto Guide POTS got 6.5 pans, which means about one Michelin star. And i would fully agree with it.
A restaurant mainly visited by Chinese. Good sichuan cuisine. Inexpensive.
Deli House is at Nürnberger Strasse

A typical Charlottengrad neighbourhood restaurant and coffee shop. Friendly and low priced
Diekmann is a former “Tante Emma Laden” (Cold store) that performs now Fine Dining.
Since 34 years the Ebert is existing. This is quite some time for the fast gastronomy in Berlin. They are cooking “gehobene gut bürgerliche Küche”, that translates wrongly to upscale home cooking. They do German dishes carefully prepared.
Looking for a good place near Potsdamer Platz we found the Josef Roth Diele and their Käsespätzle. (Cheese Noodles)
You get those pastries at any Bäckerei (Bakery) for low prices. Mostly it is hand made by the baker. Quality varies.
Opposite of the Hotel Palace is the Bikini House, an alternative mall. They also have a food court where you can get everything what is fashionable. More for restaurant prices than food court prices. We looked around but all the dishes looked little professional. Very trendy, but no Handwerk (technical knowledge). We decided for Ramen.
When it comes to Pizza 🍕 , I am a traditionalist. I want Italian pizza. A bit good Mozzarella, tomato sauce and may be some herbs on a crusty dough. When I go first time, I order Magherita as the “cooks” could ruin less. I would never order Pizza Hawai.
