KINK Bar & Restaurant

A cool (laidback) Michelin Star restaurant – though what stands out is the quality of service, food and drinks. We got lucky to be seated without a reservation (a reservation is highly recommended). The vibe is super laidback, and warm (unlike many uppity starred restaurants). We landed up for an early evening dinner. The outdoor seating was beautiful in the month of July. The space was a former brewery, and true to the origin story, the cocktails are mind-blowing. A must visit in Berlin.

Even though the name is very Berlin-ish, there is actually a great restaurant inside. I’ve tried tataki 😍, burrata 😍, yellow-tail fish 😍 - all these sharing platers were just amazing, food was melting in the mount, rich in texture, taste and presentation and then we also shared a 500g beef steak, which was also very good. For desert, we trusted the recommendation of the waiter and went for Portuguese pudding and it was excellent! A must try. We were served by the waiter from Sweden and it was a very pleasant experience, he had great recommendations and made the evening fun. After than, we tried cocktails in the bar. The cocktail of the day did not blow me away, but my friend had pisco sour and was pleased. I am not sure I would go back there to the bar, but definitely to the restaurant and would get double of each sharing plates! All this food with a bottle of Chianti was around €200 Until the next time!

Everything about this restaurant was great. The ambience, service, food. I got multiple dishes, including the lamb chops, burrata, pork chop. They were all delicious, had different flavor, profiles, and had wonderful presentations. The chocolate news was also incredibly prepared. The texture was velvety, and it wasn’t not too sweet.

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 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.

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.

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?
