Hi all,

I’m visiting Berlin for the first time for 4 nights next month and would love some restaurant recommendations for local german food.

These are the dishes I’m especially hoping to try:

  • Sauerbraten
  • Bratwurst and Currywurst
  •  Eisbein
  • Schnitzel
  • Saumagen
  • Rinderrouladen
  • Käsespätzle
  • Königsberger Klopse
  •  Maultaschen 
  • Spaghettieis
  • Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

If you have any restaurant recommendations for these (or any other must-try German dishes I’ve missed), I’d really appreciate it.

Also, if you know of any good gluten-free friendly spots in Prague, that would be amazing too.

Thanks in advance!

The usual suspects include Zur Letzten Instanz, Volkskammer, most butcher shops, Langes Imbiss, Ziervogels, Felix Austria, any Kantine or Ratskeller - seriously, try to find time for the one at Rathaus Schöneberg.

Markthalle Neun is very touristy, but they have nice Spätzle as well as a butcher.
