The 10 Best Tapas Bars in Berlin
A plate of olives, a glass of vermouth, and suddenly the evening has run away with you: tapas bars in Berlin work on the Spanish principle, you keep ordering as long as it keeps tasting good. The city now has a bit of everything. Small bars that fit twenty people and serve you standing at wooden barrels. Bigger places around Savignyplatz where the paella arrives for the whole table. Kitchens that cook Spanish classics the way they would be cooked in Madrid. Most evenings land at 20 to 30 euros a head, and most evenings you could have managed one more plate. So which address is worth crossing town for?
For this list we worked our way through croquetas, pimientos and gambas and paid attention to whether a kitchen really cooks Spanish or only looks the part. On Rathausstraße near Alexanderplatz, El Colmado carves the ham straight off the leg, in Charlottenburg the Picoteo reopened on Suarezstraße after ten years in Kreuzberg, and in the Wrangelkiez the Faro serves classics without compromise. Ten addresses from Friedenau to Friedrichshain, from barrel tables to paella pans. Where will you sit down next?

Tapas are the most honest way to eat out, as far as I am concerned: you share, you try things, and nobody has to commit to one dish. For this list I paid attention to what actually makes the difference, which is ham and cheese of decent quality, croquetas with a creamy centre rather than stodge, a wine list that goes beyond Rioja, and staff who do not sigh when you order another round.
