Zur Letzten Instanz
Zur Letzten Instanz is in the historic Nikolaiviertel neighborhood and is Berlin’s oldest restaurant, going back to the 16th century. A very traditional German establishment, this quirky little place serves up classic German dishes in a cosy environment. So I suggest you should also taste their mouthwatering Eisbein (pork knuckle or traditional Sauerbraten (marinated pot roast).

One popular spot in the Kreuzberg district is named Max und Moritz, after a famous German children’s book. And if you like the look or feel of the restaurant or the staff themselves, then it’s just going to add to that welcoming ambiance.
