Jolly

"After spending enough time staring at statues on Museum Island to work up a big appetite, settle in for a meal at Jolly, a Chinese restaurant that’s way better than all the mediocre tourist traps nearby. The Peking duck, available as a whole bird or smaller appetizer, is a highlight, and you can never go wrong with some dumplings from their dim sim menu. There’s plenty of seating inside, but make a reservation if you want a table on a weekend evening. " - cindy brzostowski, olivia ladanyi

"After spending a day ambling around 6000 years’ worth of antiquities on Museum Island, settle in for a meal at Jolly, a Chinese restaurant that’s way better than all the mediocre tourist traps in the area. The Peking duck, available as a whole bird or smaller appetizer, is a highlight, and you can never go wrong with dim sum like plump ha gau and succulent sieuw mai. There’s ample seating inside, but make a reservation if you want to dine here on a weekend evening. " - Cindy Brzostowski
