Eta Hoffmann
Thomas Kurt likes to see full tables, which is why he cooks up ingredient-inspired top cuisine at prices kind to average pay checks: any three courses cost a mere around €29 - a steal considering the quality, skill and ingenuity he brings to each dish. His duck foie gras terrine is a classic. Book ahead.

Miseria & Nobiltà
When Eduardo Scarpetta penned the comedy Poverty and Nobility in 1888, he had no idea that it would inspire the name of this popular family-run trattoria. Thanks to the gracious owners, you'll feel more king than pauper when digging into their daily-changing southern Italian compositions.

Oderquelle
If this low-key restaurant weren't so darn popular, it would be the kind of place you'd just pop in for a beer and a casual but well-crafted German meal. But alas, without a reservation, chances of scoring a table after are practically nil, although the bar stools might do in a pinch.
-
Schneeweiss
Friedrichshain's most stylish restaurant specialises in soul food for the trendoid brigade. The snow-covered Alps inspired not only the chilly-chic décor - check the awesome 'ice' chandelier - but also the food, which is mostly updated southern German classics, including schnitzel, roast venison and grilled trout.
-
Schwarzwaldstuben
Despite its olde-worlde décor, this cosy corner joint draws a hip and youthful crowd with authentic southern German food and delicious Rothaus Tannenzäpfle beer. Try the Käsespätzle (macaroni and cheese), Maultaschen (ravioli) or the pizza-like Flammekuche .
-
Storch
Off the beaten track yet usually packed, Storch has excellent Alsatian fare and a charming ex-punk owner who's usually around to greet his guests. Robust mains, including stuffed goose and wild-boar ragout, cycle on and off the specials menu. Reservations advised.
-
Vapiano
Matteo Thun's jazzy décor is a great foil for the fresh and tasty Italian fare at this self-service joint. Mix-and-match pasta dishes, creative salads and crusty pizzas are all prepared à la minute before your eyes. Nice touch: a condiment basket with fresh basil. Your order is recorded on a chip card and paid for upon leaving.
-
Vau
In the same locale where Rahel Varnhagen held her literary salons a couple of centuries ago, Michelin-starred chef Kolja Kleeberg now pampers Rolls-Royce diners with fanciful gourmet creations. The dining room is a composition of glass, steel, slate and wood, and a perfect foil for the imaginative cuisine featuring only hand-selected, seasonal ingredients.
Reservations essential.

Zur Letzen Instanz
This folksy warren has been an enduring hit since 1621 and fed everyone from Napoleon and Beethoven to Jacques Chirac. Despite the obvious tourist factor, it's not a bad place for gourmet 'granny' fare, including Eisbein (pork knuckle) and Bouletten (meat patties) served amid a flea market's worth of knickknacks.
