Vietnam Restaurant

Style:
guess what? It is a Vietnamese restaurant

More:

Reviews:
DJ writes in the SaoDaly blog: "I decided to have lunch at Vietnam Restaurant
that I found by accident the day before. A big bowl of pho (fer) gave me enough energy to last the entire afternoon. It was not quite like the pho that I am used to in Paris or in Amsterdam but it was delicious and good enough for 7.50 Euros, cheaper than here or in Paris, with less stuff of course."

Reviews

Xes writes a great review: "The highlight of this restaurant, for me, must be their spaghetti with black truffles. The unique thing about this dish is the way that it was served. The manager brought an additional table with a huge slab of cheese on top. A box of black truffles is placed next to it." But what's really great about her(?) review are the pictures, go there to see it.

VAU

Style:
Chef-Restaurant

More:
One Michelin Star and 16 Gault Millau points

Reviews:
From Berlin-Life: "Apprentice to Josef Viehhauser, Michelin-starred Kolja Kleeberg follows his master's rule: never more than three products on a plate! Every De La Soul fan knows that 3's the magic number, and it certainly seems to have worked for Kleeburg as Vau has been fully-booked for nearly half a decade. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a gourmet, this is definitely the place for you! Tables here may be harder to come by than a luxury suite on Noah's Ark, but there's no need for you and your partner to dress up as a pair of lesser-spotted pygmy giraffes... Simply make your reservation using their on-line booking form!"

A pasta restaurant with a fast food system: you get an e-card in the entrance. Everything you order at the counters (pasta, wine, desserts, etc.) is now tipped into the card. After the meal, you walk out through a till, where you pay according to the amount on your card. No more arguing with your friends "who ordered the lobster", no more waiting for service when you're dead hungry. On the other hand, fast food is also fast food, even when it is quality pasta in fair prices, and the cafeteria feeling exists.

Reviews:
On Been There, user Shatgoth liked the place: "Fantastic pasta bar near Potsdamer Platz. You pick any pasta and any sauce and then wait at the counter while the chef cooks it for you. They use fresh pasta so you only have to wait a few minutes. They have pots of fresh herbs at the tables that you can help yourself to. When you go in you are given a card, which you hand over to the chef who swipes it for you, then if you want to order drinks or desserts hand the card to the counter staff. When you leave, give the card in at the till and then you pay. This is the best pasta I've ever eaten and prices are really reasonable, from about 5 euros. I particularly recommend the rustica ravioli and pasta with lemon and mint. It's so good I went twice!"
