Facil is one of Berlin’s most renowned fine-dining spots, having earned itself two Michelin stars since it opened its elegant doors in 2001. The dining room boasts large windows and minimalist décor.

All of which can be followed by award-winning desserts.

Acclaimed chef Eberhard Langer whips up a variety of creative dishes like the imperial caviar and gillardeau oysters, which have earned Hugos a Michelin star. A four course meal will cost you more than €100, but there’s also a fantastic wine bar that opens at 6PM every day if you still want to enjoy the view.
