Business Lunch at Diekmann: Discretion with Style

If you’re looking for a business lunch in Berlin that doesn’t feel like a canteen compromise, Restaurant Diekmann in Charlottenburg offers a compelling address. In the front area, with decorative wine shelves from an old colonial goods store, guests sit casually at high tables around a freestanding oyster bar. In the back, small tables provide a charmingly minimalist ambiance. This setup allows for discussions about delicate business figures without the neighboring table overhearing.

Restaurant Diekmann is particularly well-suited for a business meal, not only due to its private atmosphere but also because of the daily changing business lunch during the week. The lunch options are somewhat reduced but moderately priced, and water, bread, and espresso are included. This makes the lunch format easy to plan time-wise. The service is personal and reliable: handwritten menus, staff who know the wine list by heart, and a rhythm that allows for conversations between courses.

German-French Cuisine at Michelin Level

Diekmann is part of the MICHELIN Guide Germany 2025. In the evenings, the kitchen truly showcases its capabilities: ambitious French and German dishes are served à la carte or as a tasting menu. Regional ingredients are carefully selected and combined with the finest oysters from Cancale, crispy bread from their own oven, and homemade butter. This is complemented by a wine selection from chosen vintners from France, Germany, and Austria. The oyster bar is not just an add-on either: the impressive oyster menu is available for both lunch and dinner. For business meals where atmosphere and quality are equally important, Diekmann is one of the most reliable addresses in the western part of the city.
