It’s no easy feat to pull off a multi-ethnic restaurant. Cunô is a place that undertakes this challenge with much-appreciated prosperity. Both Japanese and Vietnamese items can be found on the menu of this self-effacing joint. The sushi is simple and very affordable and always fresh. The salmon nigiri is a well-known favorite and so is the miso soup. The phở is skillfully executed and a high point on the Vietnamese menu. The interior is dark and charming which makes it perfect for downing copious amounts of Asian treats. This activity is plausible with prices so reasonable. Cunô is only a few meters away from the Ubahn, so its location is ideal when hunger happens on the metro.

2. Rootz Berlin

Cafe, Restaurant, German, Vegetarian, Vegan

Right around the corner from Burgermeister lies a vegetarian retreat. This place has some significant claim when it comes to the veggie burger, with options like a curry burger with arugula and pesto sauce. These re-imaginings of the burger in accordance with the vegan and vegetarian guidelines are executed masterfully. Rootz cafe is also a quaint place to unwind with a well-made coffee, to take a break in the Xberg with a tofu scramble or a veggie wrap. The comfortable and spacious inside makes it easy to enjoy these homemade creations, like the beet, parsnip, and yam fries. There is no shortage on edible pioneering in this playful vegan oasis.

3. Schlesisch Blau

Restaurant, German, European, Soup

So many good things in this world have come from the marriage of two seemingly incongruous things. This restaurant is another example of that triumphant execution. Two different culinary cultures collide in this romantic venue: German and French. The French culinary scene is known for its artisanal decadence and the German known for its meat-and-potato heavy straightforwardness. Schlesisch Blau takes on this hybridization enterprise with aplomb. The staff is amicable and the food errs on the posh side while remaining unpretentious. The interior is cozy and dark, perfect for the hearty dishes. The minimalist decor and unassuming exterior let the food be the focal point in this fusion venue.

4. Richard

Restaurant, French, European, Vegetarian

Richard is one of those restaurants where everything is begging to be captured in a photo, or at least painted. The graceful gastronomy delivers a picturesque composition that is only outdone by its flavor. The small interior is minimal and elegant. This allows all the much deserved attention to be placed on the edible ballet that’s happening on the plate. Richard is a place where you have to pay for the experience, as it ends up being a more decadent meal in taste and in monetary expression. This is a great place to delve into toothsome French cuisine when the budget allows it. The food doesn’t disappoint. A bit of advice: take a moment and look at the careful arrangement on the table before diving in.
