New German cuisine in Berlin: culinary trends are taking over the city!

Berlin's culinary scene is bursting with exciting trends that have taken over the city in recent years. The WDR platform, among others, reports on this, presenting the capital's latest gastronomic highlights in its podcast by culinary expert Helmut Gote and presenter Uwe Schulz. The “New German Cuisine” is booming, a trend that interprets old classics in a modern way and brings them onto the menus of many restaurants. Especially in this context, many Berlin restaurants are appealing options for all food lovers.

A prime example of this new direction is Tim Raue's Sphere restaurant, located in the Berlin TV Tower. Here, East and West German cuisine is combined and reinterpreted in an inimitable way. Raue is known for his flair for unconventional flavor combinations and makes every visit a special experience. But it's not just his restaurant that's creative; the Bundesbüdchen, where traditional German snacks are offered, also represents this new gastronomic feeling. The freshly prepared food made from a variety of regional ingredients has now become a real trendsetter.

Tradition meets modernity

The “New German Kitchen” places emphasis on a return to German classics, but with a modern twist. Dishes such as Königsberger Klopse, which were found to be particularly well-known in a survey, are very popular. These dishes, including mustard and pork knuckle, are often served in restaurants ranging from traditional taverns to modern, trendy restaurants. The creativity of the chefs is evident not only in the preparation, but also in the ingredients used.
