KINK Bar & Restaurant

We visited this place for our anniversary celebration and had high expectations based on the ambience and the reviews. While the setting is undeniably beautiful — truly a 10/10 for ambience — the overall experience fell short. To start with, the service was slow and not very attentive. We often found ourselves trying to get the staff’s attention, which isn’t something you’d expect at a place positioned as a premium dining experience. I was willing to wave that off, hoping the food would make up for it, but unfortunately it didn’t. The food was the biggest disappointment. The flavors were very average, and there was nothing memorable or exciting about the dishes. I’m not referring to the quantity, but the taste — it simply lacked the depth and quality you’d expect from a restaurant with such a great atmosphere. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the vibe, but if you’re looking for great food and attentive service, this may not be the best choice.

I was on a business dinner in Kink Bar. The food, the drinks and the service was awesome. We got a four course menu, which was for sharing. The food was on point, a really good taste and a nice view. I tried some cocktail and white wine, all of them were fine too. 👌 I recommend warmly this location for business events.

The bread was good! Lamb was well made too but elsewise not to return here. Glasses not checked before undeserving (seemingly) some cocktails. Burata for 16euro and only HALF of it? Lol. 3 waiters came up asking if we want to order after we just got one giving us the menu.. Messy. And bathrooms unkept for the supposed level of restaurant.

The food was good, the service was way below my expectations. The starters are sharable and the concept of ordering to share is an interesting one, but be prepared to find out that main dishes do not have any garnish. So be prepared to either slow down on the starters, or order some (like vegetables) together with the main dishes. The staff was friendly, but completely overwhelmed and stressed. The waiter spilled a lot of 14EUR drink on a table and a bag standing next to me, no reaction from them, just ran away. We had to call the main waiter and tell them about the issue; they took the bag to clean it, leaving the table sticky and not suggesting to replace the drink. When the main dishes came, we had to help the waiter clean the table first. They somehow didn't get an idea to first prepare our table, exchange the plates, etc., before standing in front of us with full plates. The quality of service is below the general quality bar for Berlin. Staff is not trained and overworked. We are not really keen to return.

First dinner in Berlin! Was incredible we were served by the lovely Daniella who looked after us very well and helped us through the food and wine menu. The sharing plates approach is really lovely with some very creative dishes on the menu. The tempura pumpkin was definitely my favourite dish?

Had brunch at Kink Bar and it was such a good experience! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish felt super fresh and flavorful. The portions were just right, and you can really tell they put care into the menu. The vibe is relaxed but still stylish, which makes it a great spot whether you’re going with friends or just want to enjoy a slower morning. Service was friendly and everything came out quickly, which I really appreciated.

Genuinely fabulous food. My last visit was two years ago and the quality has actually even increased! I remembered Kink for good food and outstanding cocktails but the food was truly delightful this time. I’ll be back much sooner! As a busy restaurant in Berlin, there could always be more & friendlier staff — but that’s coming from Brits and Americans who have other standards 🙈 For Germany, the service is pretty good 😉 I liked that seasonal asparagus dishes were available. We had a mix of meat dishes which were great but ordered mostly vegetarian — it was the burrata and ravioli that blew us away most. Even the bread and butter are lovely and the oysters were fantastic. We also enjoyed the cocktails and Petnat (sparkling natural wine)!

If you want a night out on the town it’s a great spot for drinks and food. Think upscale bar/lounge with restaurant. There’s a live DJ. Setting is modern and chic. My group and I had some drinks first in the lounge part while our table was being setup and shout out to the maitre’d with the green jacket. Provided us with excellent service and we felt very taken care of. We ordered a round of drinks and I can recommend the penicillin was fresh and sour just very good. We moved over to the dining area and we were impressed with the overall meal. Highly recommend the Octopus and the special featured truffle pasta. The broccoli starter was also very good. All in all great meal. We then moved back to the lounge bar and had another round of drinks. I’ll say the lounge bar side has better service than the resto side. Overall, service is very attentive and friendly pretty seamless. The ambience is vibrant and the design of the space is pretty cool with a huge light installation, very open space, high high ceilings. Great place for a group outing fun place to people watch and have some drinks.
