With dinner-show dining there is always the risk that the show makes you forget the plate. That is exactly what I paid attention to: does the concept carry the whole evening, or does the first effect fizzle out after twenty minutes? It mattered to me whether the kitchen keeps up with the staging, whether the program is genuinely entertaining, and whether in the end you are left with an evening you will still be talking about weeks later.


Since 1992, a 1912 Spiegeltent has stood in Wilmersdorf, where cabaret, chanson, and comedy meet table seating. The BAR JEDER VERNUNFT combines dinner and stage so naturally that they belong together.

At Potsdamer Platz, a tiny, few-centimeter-tall chef cooks directly on the plate: Le Petit Chef combines 3D projection with a multi-course menu, transforming dinner into a show.


A Chinese pagoda from 1770 in Sanssouci Park, plus baroque costumes and dinner with Frederick the Great: The Drachenhaus restaurant and café combines Prussian history with cuisine that takes the location seriously.







Circus decor, burlesque on weekends, and Berlin cuisine from breakfast until late at night: Wilde Matilde on Rathausstraße turns a dinner in the city center into a small show.



In the Arminius Market Hall in Moabit, three courses and artistry alternate, with cooking done openly in the hall. The Berliner Schlemmer Varieté turns the menu and the stage into a continuous evening.







Between appetizer and dessert, singers stand next to the table: Pasta Opera combines an Italian menu with live-sung arias, including at Friedrichsfelde Palace.




At the crime dinner by Die Auftakter in Schmargendorf, guessing along is part of the menu: Between courses, an ensemble performs the case, which is only solved at dessert.

At 207 meters, the hall rotates once an hour around its own axis, while Berliner classics, in the style of Tim Raue, are served. Sphere makes the city itself the backdrop of the evening.



A 1841 forester's lodge directly on the Havel riverbank, accessible only on foot through the forest: The Historic Inn Moorlake serves Berlin classics where the Prussian court once made a stop.

Germany's first dark restaurant is located on Saarbrücker Straße and has been serving completely without light for years. At unsicht-Bar Berlin, formerly known as Nocti Vagus, blind service staff guides guests through the evening.
