New restaurants, foreign chefs and a booming tech industry has taken Berlin from 10 Michelin starred restaurants to 25 in the last decade. Here are the six you’ll want to try on a fine dining tour of the city: ERNST Brand new 12-seat eatery with a cutting-edge menu featuring more than 20 courses, each showcasing a handful of local ingredients like tomatoes, beets, carrots, fresh curd and potatoes from small-scale farmers in Germany. NOBELHART & SCHMUTZIG Trendy counter-style, farm-to-fork eatery near Checkpoint Charlie with a Michelin star that serves a uniform 10-course menu based on the freshest seasonal produce by boutique farms. Think farm-fresh milk churned into ice cream served with wild chamomile from the grounds of Grete Peschken. Hong Kong’s top six private dining rooms offer opulent options EINSUNTERNULL One Michelin-starred restaurant serving thought-provoking cuisine with a focus on local produce, think carpaccio of button mushroom on a spread of reduced beer cream flecked with roasted bread. Lunch options range from three- to five-course sets while dinner options range from six to 10. PAULY SAAL Light and clean flavours with a bias for acidity – think beef tartare with pickled radish, salty yoghurt and quinoa chips – are the central theme of the contemporary cuisine at this one Michelin-starred restaurant located in a former Jewish girls’ school. There are several set options at lunch, ranging from three to seven courses but dinner is fixed at seven courses. Dessert der Saison - Quitte, Mirabelle, Verbene und weiße Schokolade. #arneanker #desserts #dinnermenu #michelin #restaurant #paulysaal #berlin A post shared by Pauly Saal (@paulysaal) on Oct 24, 2017 at 11:23am PDT <!--//--><![CDATA[// ><!-- //--><!]]> Berlin’s fine dining scene fuelled by Brexit, start-ups and fintech TIM RAUE Two Michelin-starred Asian-inspired cuisine, featuring interpretations of dishes such as “Peking duck” and “suckling pig” in an elegant dining room just steps away from Checkpoint Charlie.
