When it comes to excellent Austrian food, Horvath is the place to be. This is the most renowned Austrian restaurant in all of Berlin. This restaurant is also one of the oldest along the Landwehr canal. Horbath first opened in 2005, though it didn’t earn its first Michelin star until Austrian chef Sebastian Frank joined in 2010, and it didn’t earn its second Michelin star until 2015. The Austrian cuisine here is plant-centric and thoroughly modern, with some decadent flourishes. Menus come in five, seven or nine course options.
3. Malakeh – Sirian cuisine
Malakeh’s Syrian cuisine is as delicious as its origin story is touching. Owner Malakeh Jazmati has no formal cooking education, but once found a following like Syrian TV personality Maliket al-Tabkh (the queen of cooking). Expelled from her country by the war, she came to Berlin in 2015 and set up this restaurant with her husband Mohammed. As a poignant reminder of the home she left behind, Malakeh is decorated with photographs by Syrian artists and activists. As for food, expect excellent kibbeh in yogurt sauce, delicious fried eggplant, and some of the freshest tomatoes in town.
4. Kin Dee – Thai cuisine
Part of the Grill Royal gourmet empire, Kin Dee has proven to be a worthy successor to the Thai Berlin institution Edd’s. Head chef and owner Dalad Kambhu ventures into similar fusion territory, serving fine and creative Thai cuisine with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients.
With its set menu of small plates, excellent vegetarian options and well-selected wine list, Kin Dee has already won over the locals and received its first Michelin star in 2019. This makes Kambhu the youngest woman to receive the honor in Germany. What better way to celebrate than with a meal you won’t soon forget?
5. Maselli – Italian cuisine
In this list of the best 5 international restaurants in Berlin, an Italian restaurant could not be missing, because Italian food is one of the best in the world and the Miselli restaurant in Berlin is a great representative. In this restaurant the menu changes with each season of the year, although some starters are almost always available.

This restaurant has a fairly extensive wine list, homemade bread and Peroni beer. It is necessary to book in advance, however, if you go without a reservation, you may be able to sit at the bar and have dinner there.
