The Best Restaurant in Kreuzberg, Berlin

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Exciting, gritty, artistic, ever-changing, and multicultural, Kreuzberg has found the spotlight in recent years and its restaurant scene has caught up, too. You won’t find glitz and glamour here, but rather spectacular cuisine in what might first appear to be a shabby café or a comfy local hangout.

Five Elephant

In addition to brewing first-rate, quality coffee from beans roasted on the premises, Five Elephant serves some of the best cake in town, including a cheesecake that has become something of a local legend. Inside, the café is bright, modern, and welcoming, usually with cool jazz playing on the sound system. Like most of its coffee-brewing brethren, the café sources its own coffee directly from growers, and makes sure interactions along every step of the chain are fair and humane.
