Klemke
Klemke unconventionally combines the best of two distinct worlds; the platonic ideal of a wine store with the perfect balance of well cared for dusty bottles AND this year's Beaujolais with one of the best examples of Hausmannskost to be found in Berlin. A true world-class team of Omas cranks out hundrends of plates of schnitzel, stampf, kartoffelsalat, bouletten, fish dishes, and beautiful roast beef plates most days of the week to a snaking line of a real march of humanity. From bankers to yummy mummies to old school locals to tourists who lost their way off Ku'damm, Klemke is a living piece of history in the heart of the West.
They have rotating specials and a handful of Greatest Hits. Stick with the latter, they're Hits for a reason.

Nomi
Nomi takes the concept of a themed wine bar to new heights with its lineup of women-produced and owned wines. This Kreuzberg wine bar has a rotation of events (sparkling wine and currywurst, anyone?) but you'll be equally charmed to pop in and select a glass from their natural-leaning menu. And the bar bites like sourdough, pickles, sardines, cheese are simple enough to let the wine shine, while filling hungry bellies.
Don't forget the homemade pickles.

SACREBLEU!
SACREBLEU! is a bistro and winebar that helps fill a void in the Berlin dining scene - see and be seen. Memorable plates and wines served in a stylish, yet casual environment make for a great evening. There's a real focus on the food here, so expect well-executed seasonal sharing plates like king trumpet mushrooms served with a parsley root puree and a kombu emulsion or line-caught Hamachi served with radish. It's worth spending a few hours picking through the menu and sampling a few of their stellar by-the-glass wine selection, to see what SACREBLEU! is all about.
Don't miss the oeuf mayonnaise or the cheesecake. Also, be sure to wear your snazziest duds and your chunkiest shoes - this is deep in the heart of the cool kid 'szene.
