NOVEMBER Brasserie

The 25 Best Restaurants In Berlin - Berlin - The Infatuation

"November in Berlin is a notoriously hostile month—grey skies, a bitter chill in the air, and a general sense of doom. Thankfully, the only thing this Prenzlauer Berg restaurant has in common with its namesake month is its ability to knock the wind out of you. Land a spot at the chef’s table, and you'll witness sushi masters expertly slice tuna toro and shape rice into nigiri oblongs. Ask the attentive waiting staff for a recommendation—they’ll say the whole raw sea bream, and it will be the best thing you’ve ever eaten. Once you’ve gotten over the beautifully macabre presentation and you’re dipping rolled-up pieces of fish into citrus ponzu, yuzu truffle and fermented lime zest salt, suddenly November won’t seem so bad." - olivia ladanyi
