The French restaurant Le Faubourg in Berlin-Charlottenburg is the first choice for à la carte dining and to be tempted by exceptional flavors.

Savoir vivre on the plate, a good wine in the glass and time to enjoy both: French cuisine in Berlin ranges from the small bistro to the brasserie to the house with Michelin ambitions. We ate our way through classics and refined interpretations and found the addresses where the French way of life is truly palpable. Le Faubourg in Charlottenburg is the first choice for an a la carte menu, while the Ganymed Brasserie in Mitte serves where Brecht and Weigel once dined. You eat more casually, but no less exquisitely, at Spindler in Kreuzberg. From the bistro classic to the starred kitchen, everything is represented. Where will you spend your next French evening?

For me, French cuisine stands for care down to the last detail. For this list I tasted and paid attention to whether the sauces were really given time to develop, whether the produce is first-class, whether the wine list offers clever companions and whether the service stays attentive without feeling stiff. What I find most beautiful are the houses where ambition and cosiness do not exclude each other but support one another.
