Fes Turkish Barbecue

Top choice in Kreuzberg


If you like a DIY approach to dining, give this innovative Turkish restaurant a try. Perhaps borrowing a page from the Koreans, it requires you to cook your own slabs of marinated chicken, beef fillet and tender lamb on a grill sunk right into your table.

For total happiness, pair it with your favourite meze and a jug of rakı (anise brandy). Book a few days ahead on weekends.
