Christmas 2025 means above all one thing for many: time for the family. And for anyone who finds cooking for the whole extended family too much, Berlin is happy to help out. The city's restaurants offer festive menus for every taste, sometimes French and elegant, sometimes Italian, sometimes Austrian. The Ganymed Brasserie in Mitte brings French refinement to the plate on both holidays, including savoy cabbage and sweet potato soup and duck breast with mulled wine jus. If you like it spectacular, dine with Tim Raue at the Restaurant Sphere in the TV Tower, at a height of 207 meters with a 360-degree view over Berlin. And at the Osteria Maria in Steglitz, a five-course winter menu provides a variety of Italian flavors. What will your festive meal look like this year?

Christmas dinner is, for me, the highlight of the holidays, where everything should be just right. For this list I paid attention to what carries an evening like this: a festive menu with substance, seasonal ingredients instead of a standard menu, a good vegetarian alternative for the whole group and an ambiance in which you can truly enjoy the evening with your loved ones.
