Michelberger Restaurant

The Michelberger Restaurant on Warschauer Straße in Friedrichshain is part of the eponymous Michelberger Hotel and impresses with its bright, friendly, and urban ambiance. Bright tiled walls, long, dark wooden tables, and white chairs that provide a touch of friendliness, along with minimalist decorative elements and deep-hanging industrial-style lamps, welcome visitors upon entering the restaurant. The Michelberger Restaurant fits well into its neighborhood and offers breakfast, an evening menu, and a monthly changing lunch menu.

Lunch at Michelberger is served on weekdays from 12:00 to 14:30 and is down-to-earth yet possesses a certain sophistication that suits the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg area. Great emphasis is placed on regional products from organic farming here.

The restaurant is also well-frequented at lunchtime by business people in suits, families, tourists, and employees of the numerous startups in the neighborhood. The service is friendly and international. English skills are highly recommended when ordering food, as is common in the area around Warschauer Brücke, but not strictly necessary. The atmosphere is lively yet not too loud or strenuous; instead, it exudes a touch of exclusivity – and, of course, a great deal of Berlin’s way of life.

Incidentally, the official entrance to the Michelberger Restaurant is via the associated inner courtyard, which is accessible through a large gateway on Warschauer Straße. However, you can also enter the restaurant via the hotel lobby and its bar.
