The 10 best restaurants serving Berlin cuisine in Berlin
Eisbein with pea puree, Buletten, brawn cutlet and Teltow turnips: Berlin cuisine is down-to-earth, hearty and properly filling. Among all the international kitchens of the city, the old-Berlin establishments preserve an honest stubbornness that you simply have to like. Zur letzten Instanz in Mitte has been pouring since 1621 and is considered the oldest restaurant in the city, and a few corners on Zur Gerichtslaube serves good home cooking in a fitting setting. In Prenzlauer Berg the quaint corner spot Zum Schusterjungen keeps the tradition alive. We tasted Buletten, inspected the crust browning on the Eisbein and put the pub atmosphere thoroughly to the test. Where does Berlin taste most unvarnished?

For me, Berlin cuisine has to be above all one thing: honest. For this list I ate my way through Eisbein, Buletten and Koenigsberger Klopse and paid attention to the things that make the difference: a crispy crust instead of a soggy rind, a smooth sauce, sides like Teltow turnips that you can hardly find anymore, and a tavern with patina where Berliners themselves like to sit too.
