Where to Eat in Berlin

Berlin eats cheap, late, and from everywhere. Its food story is one of immigration, the doner kebab was invented here, and you will eat as well from a 5-euro counter as a sit-down table. These are reliable, well-loved picks across price points; save the ones you like and slot them into your days.

FAQ

What food is Berlin famous for?
Currywurst and the doner kebab (both Berlin inventions), plus a huge Turkish, Vietnamese, and Middle Eastern scene thanks to the city's immigrant communities. Street food and market halls are the heart of eating here.
Do Berlin restaurants take cards?
Increasingly yes, but Berlin is still surprisingly cash-heavy. Many doner counters, Spaetis, bars, and small restaurants are cash-only, so carry some euros, especially at markets and late at night.
