Great Viennese coffee in a charming Berlin grunge setting, nice host (Peter). Try the homemade cakes and Buchteln (a Viennese specialty and btw also the password for their wifi!)

terrible service but that's part of the charm of this turn-of-the-century ball house. Nice garden. Cheap group dance lessons (tango, ballroom), awful wine, good pizza. A cult classic!

don't miss this place if you're here on a Sunday. Most amazing brunch in town, but you have to get there before 1PM or so. Lebanese paradise!

now pretty well known, but one of those former Berlin secrets. Gourmet veggie food above a club. Go to the stage entrance of the Komische Oper, turn right into the garage, left past the garbage cans.
