How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Bocca di Bacco
Deep wine list
Bocca di Bacco has held consecutive Michelin Plate recognition through 2024 and 2025, positioning it among the more consistent Italian addresses in central Berlin. Sitting on Friedrichstraße in Mitte, it draws a crowd that wants recognisable Italian cooking at the €€ price point, without the austerity of the city's multi-starred rooms.
Caravaggi Naturwein Bistro
Deep wine list
A bistro on a quiet Prenzlauer Berg side street, Caravaggi sits in a Berlin neighbourhood where independent restaurants have long resisted the pressures of the city's more performative dining scene. The address places it in the middle of one of the capital's most food-literate residential pockets, where the emphasis tends toward considered cooking over spectacle.
Enoiteca Il Calice
Deep wine list
On Walter-Benjamin-Platz, a few hundred metres from Kurfürstendamm, Enoiteca Il Calice operates as Berlin's Italian wine specialist in a setting that feels transplanted from a northern Italian piazza. The wine list anchors the experience, supported by a kitchen that treats the cellar as its editorial voice. For those working through Berlin's broader dining scene, this is the city's clearest argument for the Italian enoteca format.
FACIL
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
FACIL holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 94 points, operating from the fifth floor of a Potsdamer Strasse hotel with a menu that weaves German precision into contemporary European cooking. Chef Michael Kempf structures the offering around produce-led courses, with a dedicated vegetable and fruit programme running alongside the main menu. Lunch and dinner service runs Tuesday through Friday; the restaurant is closed on weekends.
GRACE
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Set inside Hotel Zoo on the Kurfürstendamm, GRACE holds a Michelin Plate for consecutive years and serves international cuisine with a wine list running to 900 selections across 2,900 bottles. The room channels the atmosphere of a London or New York townhouse transposed to Berlin West, making it one of the more quietly serious dining addresses on the Ku'damm strip.
Grill Royal
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Berlin's most-photographed dining room sits on the Spree at Friedrichstraße 105b, drawing a nightly procession of artists, politicians and global figures to one of the city's most deliberate steakhouse programmes. Grill Royal holds three Star Wine List awards (2025) and a 4., with a 1,340-bottle cellar and a dry-aged beef roster spanning German Simmental to Japanese Wagyu.
Horváth
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
A two-Michelin-star restaurant on the Kreuzberg canal, Horváth places Austrian culinary tradition in dialogue with seasonal German produce under chef Sebastian Frank, named Best Chef in Europe in 2018. The kitchen gives vegetables a structural rather than decorative role, and the wine program has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings only, from 6:30 pm.
Hugos
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
On the 14th floor of Berlin's InterContinental Hotel, Hugos holds a Michelin star for modern cuisine that draws on Mexican culinary roots and European fine-dining technique. Panoramic views sweep across the Tiergarten to the Victory Column. The wine list, with 1,500 labels across French, Champagne, Californian, and Mexican selections, matches the kitchen's cross-continental ambition.
JAJA
Deep wine list
JAJA on Weichselstraße occupies the more relaxed end of Berlin's natural wine scene, pairing a minimalist rustic interior with shareable plates built on organic ingredients. Dishes like mussels with XO sauce and pork belly with red cabbage sit alongside a sommelier-led wine list that anchors the room's identity. The result is a neighbourhood spot that regulars return to for the food as much as the glass.
Kurpfalz Weinstuben
Deep wine list
Kurpfalz Weinstuben on Wilmersdorfer Strasse holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, placing it among Berlin's more consistent addresses for regional German cooking at mid-range prices. In a city where the fine-dining tier skews heavily toward creative or international formats, this Charlottenburg address delivers grounded, regionally rooted cooking without the €€€€ price commitment.
Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Inside the Hotel Adlon Kempinski on Unter den Linden, Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer holds a Michelin star and ranks among Berlin's most formally composed fine dining rooms. The kitchen works in a French-European register with technical precision at its core, backed by a wine list of 1,450 selections spanning Germany, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Tables facing the Brandenburg Gate are worth requesting when booking.
Macionga
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate recipient in 2024 and 2025, Macionga operates in Wilmersdorf at a price point well below Berlin's starred tier, making it one of the more accessible entry points into serious seasonal cooking in the city. Find it at Xantener Str. 9, near Olivaer Platz.
Matthias
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Matthias earned its first Michelin star in 2025, the same year Star Wine List ranked it number one in Berlin, a double signal that places this Kollwitzkiez international table at the sharper end of the city's fine-dining tier. The address on Kollwitzstraße puts it inside one of Prenzlauer Berg's most residential pockets, where the cooking competes on quality rather than spectacle.
Mine
Deep wine list
Mine occupies a Charlottenburg address that sits comfortably in Berlin's mid-to-upper Italian dining tier, pairing a wine bar sensibility with a kitchen focused on pasta technique and regional Italian tradition. Consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions in 2024 and 2025, combined with a 4., place it among the more credible Italian tables in a city not historically associated with the cuisine. The €€€ price point lands it a bracket below Berlin's €€€€ creative fine-dining cluster.
Nobelhart & Schmutzig
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Nobelhart & Schmutzig on Friedrichstraße operates under a strict regional sourcing philosophy: if an ingredient does not grow within roughly 20 kilometres of Berlin, it does not appear on the plate. The result is a six-course set menu that reads as a precise argument for Brandenburg produce, backed by a 9,250-bottle wine list and a place in the World's 50 Best Restaurants (No. 59, 2025).
ORA Wine Bar and Restaurant
Deep wine list
A former 1860s Kreuzberg pharmacy turned wine bar, ORA holds the Star Wine List #1 ranking for 2024 and operates from one of Berlin's most characterful addresses on Oranienplatz. The space layers pharmaceutical heritage with a serious wine program, placing it firmly in the capital's small but growing tier of destination wine bars rather than casual neighbourhood pours.
Parc Fermé
Deep wine list
Parc Fermé occupies a Moabit address on Wiebestraße that sits outside Berlin's usual fine-dining corridors, positioning it as a deliberate outlier in a city whose top restaurant tier has consolidated around Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg. For occasion dining in particular, that remove from the predictable circuit carries its own logic: the meal becomes the destination rather than a stop on a familiar route.
Restaurant Hotspot
Deep wine list
A family-run Chinese restaurant operating since 2007 near the Ku'damm corridor, Restaurant Hotspot occupies a specific niche in Berlin's dining scene: a neighbourhood Chinese table that has built its following through consistency rather than ceremony. The kitchen balances sweet, sour, spicy, and mild registers across its menu, drawing a local crowd that returns for the familiarity of the format as much as the food.
Restaurant Tim Raue
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Berlin's most decorated Asian-inspired restaurant, Restaurant Tim Raue has held two Michelin stars since 2010 and ranked in the World's 50 Best every year from 2016 through 2025, reaching as high as #26. Drawing on Japanese, Thai, and Chinese traditions while eliminating white sugar, gluten, and lactose, the kitchen produces food that reads as rigorous European fine dining through an Asian lens.
Rutz
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Rutz on Chausseestraße holds three Michelin stars and a 94-point La Liste score for 2026, placing it among Germany's most recognised fine dining addresses. Chef Marco Müller's 'Inspiration' tasting menu builds a clear narrative across courses, drawing on produce including German Wagyu and North Sea squid. The format rewards repeat visitors who track the menu's evolution season by season.
Rutz Altes Zollhaus
Deep wine list
Few Berlin dining addresses carry as much continuity as Rutz Altes Zollhaus, a half-timbered house on the Landwehrkanal that has held its reputation for over thirty years. Now operating under the creative direction of Marco Müller, the three-Michelin-starred chef behind Rutz Restaurant, it occupies a specific tier in Berlin's fine dining conversation: heritage setting, serious kitchen lineage, and a postcode well outside the city's fashionable core.
Verōnika Berlin
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
On Oranienburger Strasse in Berlin's Mitte district, Verōnika Berlin occupies a stretch of the city where the fine-dining conversation is increasingly serious. The address places it among a Berlin cohort that has pushed the capital's restaurant credentials well beyond its bohemian-casual reputation. For those tracking where the city's premium dining is heading, this is a name worth following.
