Zur letzten Instanz

The 38 Best Berlin Restaurants | Eater

"Depending on how you measure it, Zur letzten Instanz may be the city’s oldest restaurant. The historic two-story building and garden has housed restaurants and bars since 1621 (although it didn’t pick up its current name until 1924), and it’s been in the same family since its postwar reopening in the ’60s. The central location means the restaurant skews a little touristy (and it’s played host to notable visitors like Charlie Chaplin and Jacques Chirac), but the classic Berlin dishes here are the real deal. The eisbein (pork knuckle) is a classic, but other dishes like cabbage-wrapped pork belly shine too." - Tim Forster
