Richard
Swiss natives Hans and Till have been running Richard since 2013. The gourmet restaurant is hiding in a beautiful historical building whose bohemian ambience reminds me of a Parisian brasserie: here you will find noble white tablecloths, wooden coffered ceilings, designer lamps and lots of art on the walls. Richard offers classic French cuisine with a modern interpretation and an excellent selection of wines.

Louis Laurent
There are not many places in Berlin that have French flair, but the little shady Meyerinckplatz is such a place. Thick old plane trees stand between turn-of-the-century architecture. Here, Louis Laurent is cooking classics such as the delicious soup de poisson, hearty onion soup, typical brasserie dish ‘steak frites’ with salad as well as inexpensive tarte flambée for around ten euros. During the week you can enjoy a delicious business lunch and the Plats du Jour, always to be combined with exquisite wines.

La Bigoudène
In 2012 Bastien opened his crêperie on Zionskirchplatz. Here you can find galettes in all variations, with French goat cheese, thyme, honey from the church next door and much more. For dessert he serves you a sweet crêpe with caramelised apples and vanilla ice cream. Bon appétit! .

La Cocotte
In this restaurant in Schöneberg you will feel like in Paris. Here you will find fresh, down-to-earth French cuisine with Mediterranean flair on its outdoor terrace under trees and marquees. In addition to stews with fish or meat, you can also enjoy classic French desserts such as crème brûlée or crêpes.

Chez Maurice
Chez Maurice originally opened as a wine shop in 1997; today it is a restaurant in the wine shop. Here you find a piece of France in Berlin, in the good old ambience of an original French brasserie. For over 20 years they have been following their passion to contribute to the spread of French food and living culture in Berlin. For a simple tête à tête, couples can have an exquisite dinner served. The delicatessen shop offers a large selection of French cheeses, exquisite jams and over 200 French wines.
