Berlin keeps you busy around the clock. There always is an opening to attend, a party to go to or an exciting new pop up location to visit. With so much going on, the craving for a tasty snack is never far. We compiled a list of great new eateries in 2016 that are still considered real insider tips. Enjoy!

The Butcher
Originally an upscale burger joint from Amsterdam, The Butcher’s second dependence now inhabits the ground floor of the new Sir Savigny luxury boutique hotel in Charlottenburg. The Butcher’s menu invites you to unrestrained drooling – prime beef burgers, delicious spare-ribs, hearty smoothies as well as an extensive selection of exotic cocktails and international beer brews are among the highlights. Hands down – the spare-ribs might be the best in the whole of Berlin.

W – Der Imbiss
For conditions in Schöneberg, Nollendorfstraße is relatively quiet despise its proximity to the busy Maaßenstraße drag. The same can be said about the second edition of W – Der Imbiss that now resides on Nollendorfstraße. Guided by the principles of coziness, taste and intimacy, the small restaurant offers indo-mexican-italian fusion cuisine with emphasis on fresh ingredients and vegetarian dishes. The vividly decorated interior makes your forget space and time and takes your mind to a lush summer night in an Hawaiian hut. Bringing your headband and coconut necklace is up to you, though.

Gaststätte am Ufer
Paul-Lincke-Ufer in Kreuzberg is becoming more and more of a low-key mecca for foodies. The riverside restaurant line up boasts prominent eateries like Volt and Cocolo Ramen, so newly opened Gastsätte am Ufer joins a competitive environment. Their interior design is minimalistic without stripping away too much – the eye-catching bar creates an atmosphere of its own. The menu focuses on middle-european and mediterranean dishes that change on a weekly basis.

Rosa Lisbert
If you’re looking for a traditonally cooked tarte flambée in Berlin, be sure to pay Rosa Lisbert in Moabit’s Arminiusmarkthalle a visit. With their custom made clay oven and signature tin counter their atmosphere is as distinctive as the rich taste their alsace-inspired dishes know to impress with. Their recipe for success is relatively simple: Don’t just serve food – serve passion.

Wilde Kueche
Wilde Küche is nestled right at the entrance to Görlitzer Park and puts its emphasises on biophotonic cuisine. Biophotonics assume the light vegetables absorb in their growing process also pulses in our cells and is vital to our health. Converting that mindset into a culinary menu, Wilde Küche offers freely combinable ingredients consisting of a base like rice or mashed potatoes, sauces such as vegan gravy and thai curry and a choice of vegetables and toppings.

Parker Bowles
Parker Bowles is the culinary Harry Potter of Kreuzberg’s Moritzplatz. The combination of ingredients often seem daring, but to our surprise they create very unique flavours. Crispy pork belly with with sucuk, udon-noodles, coriander and saffron? The Parker Bowles magic makes it work. It’s the perfect place for foodies looking for new exciting dishes as well as night owls on their way to the close by clubs Prince Charles and Ritter Butzke.

Koyote Restaurant
Koyote’s easy nonchalance, its perfect location right at Admiralsbrücke and their german-south-american cuisine make the restaurant stand out in the highly competitive area around Kottbusser Tor. Culinary creativity is the guide for their menu and the outcome perfectly justifies the somewhat higher prices (about 30€ for a 3-course menu).

DATA Kitchen by SAP
DATA kitchen introduces a futuristic restaurant concept where you order using your smartphone in the restaurant or from home. Your order is freshly prepared and can be picked up in customized boxes with LED screens that read your name. In an adjoining high-tech room you can brainstorm to any given topic using an SAP-built machine that will browse the web for your keywords using advanced artificial intelligence. The perfect place for lunch with your tech-nerd buddies.

Mmaah
You got to leave it to the folks at Mmaah – they know how to make amazing Korean BBQ. Even if their newly opened dependence in Schöneberg feels very modest in size, their dishes are just the more potent in taste. With outstanding choices like Bulgogi beef BBQ and Hotgogi potatoes, they’re taking up the fight against the döner and pizza-heavy drag at Nollendorfplatz. Insiders know it’s an uneven fight – though Mmaah looks like just another fast-food place, their dishes are gourmet level.

Fes Turkish BBQ
Despite the fact Berlin is the international stronghold for Döner shops, it’s incredibly hard to find a trendy turkish eatery in Berlin that’s not just selling cheap eats. Luckily Fes Turkish BBQ is here to fill that gap. There’s a grill built into each table for your aspiring chef desires. The portions are lavish and served as a shared meal, creating a very social dining experience. And don’t worry if you’re not a grill master – if you need help, the service will gladly show you how to grill your meat to perfection.

Wella Japan have been bringing their clients to their headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany for years before taking them to London for a spot of trend hunting. But this year, they had got word that if you want to go cool hunting then it’s Berlin you should be visiting. Naturally it was Berlinagenten, they contacted to find out what is hot and happening in the city.

Berlinagenten started working on the project in August last year. It involved putting together a programme for 50 people. Four guides took the groups all over the city taking them to the coolest neighbhourhoods, bars, restaurants, shops and arts spaces. We organised behind the scenes visits to creative companies to inspire our clients imaginations, e.g. ic!berlin, Marcellvonberlin, Platoon, Lumas and Tausche. Each group was given a mission to capture on digital cameras, the most creative elements of the neighbourhood they were visiting.

After a few hours rest and some serious pimping up, our Japanese guests looked like superstars as we took them to Soho House for a banquet dinner. Each group presented their photographs and interpretations of what makes Berlin the coolest city in the world right now, to the rest of the touring party. Berlinagenten has converted another 50 people into Berlinophiles!
