Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt, a very famous old restaurant in Berlin, is exquisite and elegant. It is really hard to imagine that this restaurant has a history of nearly 700 years. The signature roasted pork elbow has a crispy skin and is not greasy. The taste is superb. Paired with delicious German beer, it is really a beautiful enjoyment <( ˘ ³˘)/💯
There are many people. Only drinks can be used as a bar counter. I recommend the crispy pork elbow, but the pickled cabbage served with the pork elbow is not enough. I feel it can be improved. However, this may also be the persistence of this restaurant for more than 400 years.

You must order the chicken from this restaurant, it is really delicious, roasted very tender, and with the store’s secret sauce, the French fries are also fried crispy and taste very fragrant, and the set meal gives a large portion.
A strong Bavarian style, the usually serious Germans are so high in it, the whole bright and enthusiastic large-scale disco [dirty] The dark beer in it is delicious, the pork elbow is delicious but it is really big [Erha] A German colleague said that there is a small town where you can get beer from the tap, and then settle the bill monthly😂

I saw a lot of people queuing up, so I was curious and lined up to buy some. It mainly contained sausages and French fries, which were pretty good. They were all made in advance, so they were especially fresh, and the French fries were very fragrant.
The wind is blowing coldly. Many people are queuing up here to buy curry wurst. It is next to another popular online store. People are all here for lunch. It is curry sausage rolls. Foreigners are so easily satisfied.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Berlin, it has a lot of attitude, and even makes its own soy sauce. It's located in a very chaotic street alley, but once you come in, you will miraculously feel that time has stopped. The temperament of the dishes, music, the boss lady and the waiters are exactly the same, just right. There are surprises every time I come, such as the oyster noodles on the summer menu, mint and chives will meet, the clear noodle soup is made from vegetables and then filtered, and it will never compete with the taste of oysters; for example, the sesame oil chicken rice on the winter menu, half-cooked yam, ginger, wolfberry and sesame oil, and finally a cup of hot rice wine sprinkled on it, the warmth is very subtle, because the strong ginger flavor remains in the mouth, and when you drink the remaining rice wine, it is hot and spicy, and you feel like drinking strong liquor, which is particularly interesting. This store is actually a teahouse. The tea list has six pages, and all the Taiwanese teas I know are available. It's a pity that no one seems to come here to sit quietly and drink a cup of tea... But the boss lady is always meticulous about her tea.
Restaurant Schnitzelei is a well-known Chinese restaurant in the local area. I personally think that this restaurant has a relatively high overall cost-effectiveness and the taste is good.

This is a restaurant with a very good environment. When I come to Berlin for tourism, I often come here to eat. I especially like their steak. The sauce is delicious, the taste is very good, and the price is not very expensive.
This shop is famous for its pork knuckles, which can be prepared in several ways. In addition to the most common crispy pork knuckles in Germany, salted pork knuckles are also a specialty, which are the ones without a crispy skin and taste very soft and sticky.

The boiled pig's trotters here are very, very good, with a large portion. I personally think they are better than grilled ones, and the sauerkraut inside is also a surprise. I also ordered a sausage, which was normal. The beer is also very good. The total cost for two people is less than 40 euros, and they are very full and satisfied. In addition, the location is also very convenient, just near the TV tower, a 15-minute walk. The decoration is very delicate, and the service attitude is very normal. I heard that it is a very authentic and historic restaurant, basically all locals, and it is very popular. I don't know German, so I communicate in English. I didn't encounter the problem of bad service attitude mentioned in the comments, and I didn't need to tip. It may be related to individual employees. It is recommended to make reservations in advance. We didn't make reservations and could only sit at the bar, and there was a time limit. Fortunately, the dishes were served quickly.

It is said that this is an authentic Berlin restaurant. The beef and chicken in it are fatter and have a stronger taste than those in Germany. If you come to Berlin, you can try the local style.
This is a Michelin-recommended restaurant with fresh dishes, especially the pork elbow, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely not to be missed!

Wintergarten im Literaturhaus is a beer house in Berlin, Germany. Because the weather was quite good, we sat in the open air, ordered dark beer, enjoyed the breeze, and drank. It was very comfortable.
I particularly like the ambiance of this place, where you can enjoy a fine meal while feeling peaceful and comfortable as the sun shines through the windows.

Tiergarten Quelle is a must-visit beer house in Berlin. It is more than 100 years old and is right next to the Technical University of Berlin where H studied. It was the base for classmates to cross the Berlin Wall and gather in the West German district of Berlin on weekends. In the name of replenishing energy for the Cologne Marathon the day after tomorrow, we finished a huge beer and a plate of food. Finally satisfied my craving [laughing]
Traditional German restaurant, famous for its boiled pork knuckle. My friend and I ordered pork knuckle and burger, both of which were very large. We couldn't finish them with the side dishes, so we recommend ordering two meals for three people (check the minimum consumption with the store first). The pork knuckle was so big that we were very sick before we finished half. The food was a bit salty, which was not to our liking. But the beer was good, there was an outdoor dining area, and the atmosphere was nice. From the price point of view, the meal was good, but I think the schnitzel might be breaded chicken. It provides an authentic and relaxed atmosphere. A good place for a beer.
