Dachgarten Restaurant

Style:

More:
The Cafe/Restaurant on the top of the Reichstag

Reviews:
Tirsomal writes that "It is a very modern bar/restaurant although it is not easy to find as it is not very well indicated. We were there in January, so the terrace was closed. If you go in the summer I bet they have tables outside.

If you are planning to visit the Reichstag, you must go there for a drink! :)"

Booking this restaurant is also a good way to avoid standing in the queue for the Reichstag.

Lindenbräu

Style:
German, Bavarian, Berlin Cuisine

More:
A similar branch is located at the Hauptbahnhof, the Hopfingerbräu

Reviews
:
Lindenbräu is not where you'll be heading, if you're looking for a quaint restaurant attended mostly by the locals. On the other hand, those small, quaint, restaurants, almost never accept credit cards, have menus only in German, no access to disabled persons and a staff that hardly speaks any language, including German.

Lindenbräu is the opposite: it is a large restaurant in one of the most touristy places imaginable: the Sony Centre in Potsdamer Platz. But being a "touristy" German restaurant has many advantages: not only that the menu comes in four languages, it also has pictures of the dish, so you will understand what it is all about; the waiters speak English; and the restaurant accepts credit cards and has wheelchair access. The so-touristy location also means that you have a view, if you choose to - sit close to the window or in the yard, you will get a wonderful view on the futuristic architecture of Sony Centre and its fountain. If you choose to sit close to the centre, you will see the brewery from a close distance.

The food is a mixed version of all types of regional German food, with heavy Bavarian and southern influence; but also with typical Berlin dishes, such as the Eisbein (pork knuckle). Unlike many German restaurants around town, this one offers a variety of dishes to vegetarians, those who won't eat pork, and the like. The dishes are not small, so prepare to leave some or come hungry.
