    This small and cosy restaurant is located at one of the borders of former West-Berlin at FriedrichstraBe, with a view of Checkpoing Charlie (it is said that during the presence of the Berlin wall, spies used this restaurant to do their work).

    The menu is a bit limited; I went for "lunch" with Irish Coffee and "Beeren mit Zahne Torte" and paid 7,70 euro.

    Favorite Dish: The restaurant has a show-window with "Kuche", that all looked delicious.

    Belluno: Italian restaurant at Prenzlauerberg

    Good atmosphere, friendly people, good menu. Located in trendy Prenzlauer Berg.

    I had carpaccio to start with, which was, I'm afraid, covered with too much rucola.
    The "Kartoffel Kosschen" (Gnocchi) was delicious.
    Not a cheap restaurant btw (The "rotwein" Merlot was 4,50 euro) but guests and hosts go dressed informally.

    Favorite Dish: Kartoffel Kosschen (Gnocchi): 7,50 euro
    0,2 l Merlot "rotwein": 4,50 euro

    Konditorei & Cafe GAESE: Eating Kuche at Gaese's

    Wonderfull show-window with typical German "Kuche". List of coffees to go with it.

    Nice little place at the corner of FasanenstraBe and Hohenzollerndamm, overlooking the streetcorner.
    Probably less expensive than "konditoreien" in the centre of the city.

    Theodor Tucher - Parizer Platz: Speisekabinett & Leselounge at Pariser Platz

    In the corner of Pariser Platz, closes to the Brandenburger Tor.

    Has a library and a diner. The menu shows pictures of both (ex-) presidents of the United States, Bill Clinton and George Bush jr, with the German chancellors at the time, resp, Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schroder.

    Again, I had "lunch" with Torte (Topfenstrudel mit Zahne) and Irish Coffee. I paid 10,50 euro in total; the Strudel was quite expensive with 5,50 euro.

    Lutter & Wegner: Chique restaurant in Charlottenburg

    My travelguide recommended this restaurant because of the Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad, and indeed, it was not bad, but not worth the 24,60 euro (including "rotwein" Merlot for 4 euro).
    I was never a big fan of Schnitzels anyway, but I thought I'd try.

    This is a restaurant where you're asked which kind of water you'd like; guests and hosts are dressed formally (no jeans and sneakers!).
