Themroc

Friendly front-room eatery in Mitte
Word to the wise: There are only 20 seats here, so it's best to swing by earlier in the day to reserve.

Themroc is a secret the locals have been trying to keep for years. In the heart of Mitte's sightseeing central, this small place has stayed rustic and charming with ad-hoc wooden furniture, framed Mile Davis records on the wall and an open-kitchen that serves just one three-course menu a day.
The food has distinctly French and Persian influences, inspired by the nationalities of the three rotating chefs here, with dishes like venison steaks and chervil soup appearing regularly. After the work is done, the fabulously friendly owners will most likely join you at the bar for a tipple.
