Michelin Plate
"A traditional townhouse in the Gendarmenmarkt is home to this trendy restaurant serving international cuisine with a charming interior courtyard terrace." Full review
"In the late 19th century, the original Borchardt opened next door at no.48. It became the place to be for politicians and society folk, but was destroyed in World War II." Full review
"The menu changes daily at this celebrity meeting place—the location near Gendarmenmarkt makes it a popular power lunch spot for politicians and influential people." Full review
"One of the favorite haunts of ambassadors, presidents, prime ministers, and Berlin's power brokers, the current Borchardt is actually a recreation of the original, which was next door." Full review
"They have these nice Friday night events upstairs on the belle étage, which feels like a very elegant apartment. There are readings and cultural events but also proper parties with DJs."

"Try Horváth if you fancy some really imaginative cuisine full of interesting combinations, full-bodied flavours and intensity." Full review
"It all looks a bit old-fashioned, with heavy wood details and red walls inside, and a small patio with wicker chairs outside...this high-end, seasonal cuisine with a twist is designed to impress." Full review
"A meal at Horvath will likely be one of the most expensive of your trip, but if you’re looking for a high-end, unique meal, you can’t do better than this historic, wood-paneled, and light-filled spot" Full review
"Since chef Sebastian Frank took it over in 2010, the casually-elegant wood-paneled restaurant by Kreuzberg's Landwehrkanal has skyrocketed to prominence, earling its first Michelin star in 2011 and its second in 2015" Full review
