Constantly abuzz, this trendy Mitte restaurant serves simple, fresh Vietnamese cuisine. The print menu is supplemented with changing specials written on blackboards, which come highly recommended.

Bowls of satay chicken with flavorful broken rice and abundant fresh vegetables and herbs or fish in green curry come out of the kitchen faster than you can sip down one of their muddled fruit drinks.

Unfortunately, reservations are not taken. You’ll have to jockey for a seat with the best of Berlin’s diners. Tables turn fairly quickly though—and the scene surrounding the place is a sight in itself.
