The Best Restaurant in Mitte, Berlin

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Berlin's city center offers innovative food at restaurants both hip and cozy, trendy and non, at any price point, but don’t expect a quiet meal. Half the fun here is mingling with the crowd and indulging in the see-and-be-seen atmosphere.

Cookies Cream

$$$$ | Mitte Fodor's Choice

The name might have you thinking something different, but this is actually a vegetarian and vegan fine-dining restaurant that serves fantastic food (it's above what used to be a club called Cookies, owned by a nightlife mogul by the same moniker, now home to an eatery called Crackers); the chef steers away from "easy" vegetarian dishes like pasta and stir-fries and instead focuses on innovative preparations. The entrance, too, is misleading: the only access is via a dingy alley between the Westin Grand Hotel and the Komische Oper next door, but once you're inside the vibe is industrial-chic, and the service is friendly, casual, and fun.
