The service was friendly and made us feel truly comfortable. You can tell the whole experience is thoughtfully designed to make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice meal in Berlin!"

"Lovely place to eat, nice relaxed atmosphere and the food is excellent. We been here 5 times since 2020. And we are going back for a sixth time Ofcourse."
Edwin Hoefman
"Overall had a lovely time at Lokal. Started with salmon and bell peppers - the salmon was the pick of the two as the bell peppers was a bit one note after a while.
Mains we opted for the ginuea fowl and pasta. Pasta was a bit meh but the fowl was amazing. Excellent crispy crust and so much flavour. Got the gratin and salad on the side - was a lot of food! Probably would have skipped the pasta and salad and it would have been perfect.
Menu changes often so what we had last night may not be what’s on offer! They have an English menu on the second page of the menu booklet and service was lovely and attentive."

Tucked away in my neighbourhood, this restaurant is unassuming from the outside. Once you step inside, it feels like something straight out of Architectural Digest. The clean lines, modern design, and the warmth from the wooden tables and classic chairs create a welcoming atmosphere.

Unfortunately, there are no new Bib Gourmands in Berlin this year, but three restaurants have lost their Bib Gourmand: Colette by Tim Raue, Lokal and Rutz Weinbar. Presumably, these restaurants have become too expensive for a Bib Gourmand.
