Engelbecken

Local and low-key Bavarian bistro
Word to the wise: Take the opportunity while here to pop into the architecturally stunning St. Canisius Church down the road.

It feels like this pocket of Charlottenburg has managed to stay secret from the masses on Ku'Damm just ten minutes away. On the corner of one of the prettiest little parks in Berlin, Lietzenseepark, this rustic yet elegant bistro serves great plates of German classics to a mainly local and low-key crowd.
The wiener schnitzel is superb, but with a menu packed full of fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients, everything is well executed with often interesting combinations such as the fresh figs marinated in raspberry-vodka with vanilla mascarpone. It's becoming ever more popular, so booking is essential.
