otto

"This compact restaurant has an appealingly lively atmosphere. The friendly vibe is due in no small part to the fantastic, well-drilled team, who have a personalised touch when it comes to looking after diners. The open kitchen – overlooking which there are also a few seats at the bar – sends out seasonal, modern, pared-down dishes with Nordic influences, all made using locally sourced ingredients. You can choose between the sharing menu and à la carte dishes. Vegetarians are also catered for. There is a rather short but carefully curated wine list with a predilection for natural and orange wines. Small terrace in front of the restaurant. This very popular restaurant has limited seating, so be sure to book in advance!" - Michelin Inspector

The 18 Best Restaurants In Berlin 2024

"Cram in at one of Otto’s 20 seats if you love a farm-to-table experience with no fuss. The focus here is on ingredients from the Berlin-Brandenburg region (including the restaurant’s own garden), and the menu changes often: sometimes a new dish a week, with bigger overhauls happening every three months or so. Raw concrete walls and simple wooden furnishings give the tiny interior a Nordic vibe, and you may get a glimpse of your food being prepared in the open kitchen. For a group of two, you’ll probably want four to six plates, paired with something from their natural wine list. They’re only open Thursday through Monday, so plan ahead." - cindy brzostowski, olivia ladanyi

"Courtesy of his experience with Danish superstar René Redzepi at Noma, chef and Berliner Vadim Otto Ursus applies his formidable expertise on fermentation with aplomb. The result is out-of-the-box, bright, and imaginative takes on German cuisine, served up in a stylish, brutalist space. The restaurant is small, so book ahead. If you can’t nab a table, consider heading to Trio over in Mitte, where Ursus offers pitch-perfect takes on German pub fare." - Tim Forster
