Restaurant Le Faubourg

Restaurant Le Faubourg: French Bistronomy in City West

Le Faubourg is located at Augsburger Straße 41 in Berlin’s City West, just a few steps from Kurfürstendamm. The Augsburger Straße subway station is located at the intersection with Nürnberger Straße, practically right at the doorstep. The restaurant belongs to the Dorint Kurfürstendamm Hotel, formerly known as Concorde and later Sofitel. In front of the entrance, there are 24 seats on the street terrace, perfect for enjoying an aperitif.

The establishment has existed for around twenty years and started as a brasserie, celebrating its anniversary in November 2025 with its own menu. Over the years, the kitchen has been a talent factory, where Felix Mielke, Nikodemus Berger, and Steffen Sinzinger, among others, have worked. Since May 2023, Lukas Hackenberg has been leading the kitchen, having previously worked at Reinstoff under Daniel Achilles, at Dae Mon, and at Faelt. Host Kai Müller has been with the establishment since 2011 and takes care of the wine pairings.

Bauhaus Furniture, Mirrored Ceiling, and a Seasonal Menu

Inside, there are 70 seats. Dark wooden floors and wall paneling create a warm ambiance, complemented by Bauhaus-style furniture, various table shapes, and a black mirrored ceiling above the guests. The adjoining Lounge Bar is also furnished in Bauhaus style, with armchairs by Walter Gropius and furniture from the Vitra Cité series. For smaller gatherings, there is the Private Dining Room „The Library“ with up to 20 seats.

The cuisine describes itself as modern French bistronomy and changes its menu with the seasons. Classics like Steak Frites and Quiche Lorraine stand alongside original creations, such as octopus with passion fruit and olive or a cauliflower steak with béchamel and capers. The Entrecôte „Café de Paris“ with french fries and garden salad costs 36 Euros, and a two-course lunch menu is available for 21 Euros. For dessert, the Crème Brûlée with cassis sorbet is recommended.
