Restaurants in Wilmersdorf
 The wealthy Western part of Berlin is made up by the boroughs of  Wilmersdorf and Charlottenburg, which were merged in 2001. Just South of  Ku’damm lie those residential areas, which sure are quieter than others, but  nonetheless cosmopolitan, with some stylish shops around Pariser  Strasse. On the outskirts, there are increasing more trees between  mansions of the rich, most of which were built around 1900, as Grunewald is  near. This beautifully wooded landscape dotted with lakes was one of the  few getaways for West Berliners in Wall times and is still highly popular,  attracting bikers and walkers alike. Starting from Grunewald station (S- Bahn), in about 45 minutes you may reach the top of Teufelsberg, a hill that  became Berlin’s highest elevation due to wartime rubble piled up on it.  During the Cold War, the NATO spied on the Soviets from here. Although no  longer of strategic interest, the view is impressive.

 Restaurants in Kreuzberg
 Kreuzberg became a point of interest in Cold War times, due to allied  confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie. But generally, it lay forgotten by most in  the shade of the wall. Only the poor and unwanted were attracted by its  cheap housing; so in moved hippies, artists, punks and immigrants, who  mainly were from Turkey.
 Since 1989, when it became a central borough once again, much has  changed. But a whiff of anarchic spirit still lingers in the streets of the  legendary squatters’ quarter of “SO 36”, between Oranienplatz, Görlitzer  Park and Oberbaumbrücke (river Spree bridge). Another hip “Kiez” ( Berlin  neighbourhood) lies around Bergmannstrasse, near Vikoriapark (artificial  cascade, monument designed by Schinkel). The best way to explore this  colourful quarter in depth is by taking a walk along the canal in summer,  passing by restaurant ships, crammed cafés and the Turkish market.

 Restaurants in Friedrichshain
 Friedrichshain lies just opposite Kreuzberg, across Oberbaumbrücke, on  the North bank of river Spree. The borough can boast of protected heritage  dating from socialist times, like Karl-Marx-Allee, a triumphant boulevard of  impressive dimensions lined with workers’ “palaces” that runs over 2 km  from Frankfurter Tor towards Alexanderplatz. Another attraction is the  longest surviving portion of the Berlin wall, which was converted in an open- air gallery in the year after the Wall had come down. 118 artists from 21  countries contribute with mural paintings to the creation of the East Side  Gallery. A park is being built between river and wall; in front, a huge housing  project, including a concert hall, will be realized soon. For a night out, the  quarter around Simon-Dach-Strasse with its countless cafés is a must-go.

 Restaurants in the Eastern outskirts
 To present cafés and restaurants situated on the outskirts of Berlin, we  divided the suburban area in two: Eastern and Western outskirts (this  subdivision, however, does not always correspond with the former political  zones). Upriver, in Eastern direction, lies Köpenick, which was an  independent town for centuries and is in fact older than Berlin. It has a  charming medieval centre and a Prussian palace – today crafts museum. The  lakeside colony of Friedrichshagen is another idyllic spot. A comfortable way  to get to know this region is by boat. You can start your trip in Treptow, the  jetties lie in a riverside park, where you may also admire the huge  monument raised in the memory of Soviet soldiers who lost their lives in  the battle of Berlin in 1945. Pankow is where the top brass politicians of the  socialist GDR used to reside.

 Restaurants in the Western outskirts
 This section is dedicated to restaurants on the Western periphery of Berlin.  Why not visit Spandau that can boast of a picturesque Old Town and a  fifteenth century citadel? To the South lies Wannsee, another waterfront  quarter at the edge the world-famous Prussian landscape of parks and  palaces. Set off on a boat trip in the direction of Peacock Island or Potsdam  from here! One of the mansions overlooking the Havel river is the historic  site of the Wannsee conference, held in 1942, which had fatal consequences  for the victims of Nazi persecution. Almost next door, in the former summer  villa of the popular Jewish painter Max Liebermann, there is a small, but nice  exhibition of his works.
