French cuisine

Restaurants with Haute Cuisine

Berlin's finest French dining establishment is undoubtedly Borchardt where A-listers include Madonna and Barack Obama. Bouillabaise (seafood stew) and foie gras are a must here. Central Berlin's Margaux flaunts its Michelin-star status as jet-setters dig into the delectable French plats. Ganymed Brasserie in the theatre district is perfect for a post-show dinner. More celebrity-spotting entails at the glitzy Paris Bar in Charlottenburg – their lamb chops and oysters are divine. Charlottenburg is also home to the opulent boutique restaurant Vivaldi where prix fixe dinners are a fantastic way to get acquainted with French cuisine. Le Provencal boasts a picturesque location on the River Spree and is reasonably-priced. Bon appetit!
