Berlin eats in two registers. At the top, the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Germany gives Three Stars to Rutz on Chausseestrasse, Two Stars to FACIL, Horváth, CODA and Tim Raue, and One Star to fourteen more tables, among them the vegetarian Cookies Cream and the vegan Bonvivant. On the street, the city lives on currywurst, döner and the stalls of its market halls.
The star tables
Rutz, at Chausseestrasse 8 in Mitte, holds Three MICHELIN Stars in the 2026 guide. FACIL in The Mandala Hotel on Potsdamer Platz, Horváth on the Landwehr Canal, CODA, a dessert restaurant in Neukölln, and Tim Raue in Kreuzberg hold Two Stars.

Two of the city’s one-star restaurants serve no meat: Cookies Cream, on Behrenstrasse in Mitte, is vegetarian, and Bonvivant in Schöneberg is vegan, in MICHELIN’s own classification.
Book the star tables weeks ahead; for currywurst, just turn up.
Bib Gourmands
MICHELIN’s Bib Gourmand marks good cooking at moderate prices. In Berlin in 2026 they include Remi on Torstrasse, Lucky Leek and November Brasserie in Prenzlauer Berg, MASTAN in Kreuzberg, Barra in Neukölln, and the Nußbaumerin and Salhino in Charlottenburg.
On the street
Curry 36 on the Mehringdamm and Konnopke’s Imbiss under the elevated U-Bahn on Schönhauser Allee serve currywurst; Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg gathers bakers, butchers and street food under one roof.
Our advice: lunch menus at the star tables are often the best way in; check each restaurant’s own booking page.
