Michelin and the other awards

Bieberbau and SKYKITCHEN lost their stars in 2026, and Chez Nassib and Salhino became Bib Gourmand restaurants. pars in Charlottenburg keeps its star on Michelin’s list but closes at the end of 2026, according to Falstaff. Michelin’s page prints no closed days, so check each restaurant’s own site.

The places named by the most sources

The count is the number of publishers that name the place across all the lists, with the split by language. Markthalle Neun and the markets are named in lists of places, not only of restaurants.

The German lists name Tim Raue, Rutz, Horváth, Bonvivant, the Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer and FACIL far more often than the English lists do, and the English lists lean towards Mauerpark, Brammibal’s Donuts and Prater Garten.

Markets

Street Food Thursday has run every Thursday from 17:00 to 22:00 since 2013, which the hall calls Germany’s first street-food market, with stalls from chefs who do not have a restaurant.

Rogacki, the fish deli whose original shop on Wilmersdorfer Straße has closed, has a counter at the back left by the fish stalls for six months from 2 October, with fried fish, potato salad and oysters, according to its own site.
