"Tucked into a pretty residential street in Kreuzberg, Tulus Lotrek has whimsical green jungle wallpaper and fur throws—both dead giveaways that this isn’t your usual Michelin-starred restaurant. The second sign? Vivacious co-owner and maître d’ Ilona Scholl, who basically advises you to get drunk while eating your way through the thoroughly unconventional small plates like lamb belly with lemon peel and yeast and ocean trout with goat’s milk and jalapeno. Ingredients hail from all over the globe, and although you may not love all the dishes, you can’t say they’re not interesting. This is arguably the most entertaining and least pretentious Michelin-starred restaurant in town." - Liz Humphreys
