Some of Germany's best gourmet food is prepared by chef Michael Kempf and his team on the fifth floor of The Mandala Hotel at Potsdamer Platz. The setting, in a beautiful space with a retractable glass roof, is magnificent and the service second to none, but it's the Michelin-starred food that really attract the guests. The set-dinner menu allows you to sample up to eight courses, such as Ammersee char or veal shank, while the lighter lunch menu – think grilled octopus, corn poularde and raspberry rhubarb dessert – is within reach of gastronauts on relatively frugal budgets.Potsdamer Strasse 3, Mandala Hotel, Tiergarten, +49 30 59 005 1234, facil.de.

One of Germany's top restaurants, Facil is also one of the more relaxed of its class: the elegant, minimalist setting—it's in the fifth-floor courtyard of the Mandala Hotel, with exquisite wall panels and a glass roof that opens in summer—and impeccable service make this feel like something of an oasis in the busy city. Diners can count on a careful combination of modern takes on German classics and inspiration from across the globe, best sampled in the four- to eight-course set meals.

Facil is set within a glass pavilion with a retractable ceiling, surrounded by a lush, tree-spotted garden terrace.

People who love great, but not necessarily experimental food, will be in heaven at Facil, which does a pretty tasting menu. While there’s nothing earth-shatteringly innovative about the food, it’s all excellently prepared and pretty as a picture, with dots and squiggles of sauces lining the plates. Many of the mains are international—Icelandic salmon, French octopus, Wagyu beef—and paired with seasonal, local veggies.

Two-Michelin-star-recipient Facil is a temple for kitchen director Michael Kempf and chef Joachin Gerner. Located on Potsdamer Platz, in the Mandala Hotel Berlin, this establishment has become very well known for its sophisticated and innovative cuisine. The dishes are complex and well-thought, offering the diners an experience that will be hard to forget.

They called it “the fried chicken sandwich endgame”, the product of a collaboration between Max Kindel, sous chef at the two-Michelin-starred Facil, and Carlo Ennuschat, a music promoter, former taco entrepreneur and general Berlin scenester. Towards the end of March, the internet got word that the two had created a special-edition chicken burger.

Up here on the 5th floor of the hotel "The Mandala" you can sit on the small terrace with chestnut trees and a fountain!. It belongs to the chic, light and airy roof garden restaurant, in which, thanks to the all-round glazing, you almost feel like you're outdoors. Beautiful bamboo plants provide an Asian touch.

Two stars are also awarded to Michael Kempf, the up-and-coming star of Berlin’s haute cuisine. At Facil, the restaurant of the Mandala Hotel in Tiergarten, Kempf conjures up creative dishes with a Mediterranean twist. Enjoy the delicious creations in the glass pavilion on the fifth floor.

Facil is a Spanish-German fusion restaurant and it’s one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Berlin in Mandala Hotel. It’s definitely on the more expensive side but it’s worth it. The menu changes every season and the chef likes to experiment with textures and flavors.

People who eat in the restaurant of two stars are elderly people. Unlike the restaurants that pick stars in China, most of them are young people. Berlin is a food disaster area. There are no restaurants with three stars. It’s really a bit disappointing. It’s not bad.
