Taverna Pikilia: Greek Cuisine with Heart and Tradition

In Berlin-Schlachtensee, friends of refined Mediterranean cuisine gather at Taverna Pikilia. What’s special about it: cooking is primarily done according to old family recipes, so you’ll certainly find one or two dishes that you would otherwise only encounter in restaurants in Greece. Furthermore, the menu changes regularly: because Greek cuisine can be wonderfully diverse, there’s a weekly menu with very special dishes. Thus, not only classics like gyros, calamari, and moussaka land on the table and counter, but also surprising specialties. The menu includes surprising entries like pheasant alongside classics, which sets the cuisine apart from typical Greek taverns.

Not only the recipes, but also many of the ingredients are sourced directly from Greece or from the Berlin surroundings. For example, Cypriot Halloumi grilling cheese directly from the Monastery of Stavros in Corinth or selected Greek wines make it to the table. At the counter, the restaurant presents an exclusive selection of specialties and wines brought in small quantities from Greece. The Greek restaurant in Berlin-Schlachtensee maintains a Google score of 4.7 from 1382 reviews.

Furthermore, Pikilia is considered a meeting point with genuine connection: the restaurant has a loyal clientele, with some guests coming regularly for over a decade.
