September brings a fresh crop of restaurant openings to Berlin, each with its own twist. From fiery Sichuan cooking in Wedding to a nostalgic nod to Bonn’s newsstands in Mitte, the city’s food scene continues to surprise. Egg lovers can now find their fix in Kreuzberg, while cat enthusiasts have a new plant-based haven in Mitte. Here are four spots worth checking out this month.
SzeChuan Küche
Head to Seestraße’s newest Chinese spot for bold, authentic Sichuan flavours: wok-fried lamb, fermented fish stew and a full page of vegetarian dishes. The owners promise no Germanised tweaks, just a true taste of China in Berlin. Grab some friends and see for yourself.
- Seestr. 101, Wedding
Bundesbüdchen
Across from the Economy Ministry, this restaurant pays homage to the Bundesbüdchen – a famed historic newsstand in the old West German capital of Bonn – while curating a menu of hearty fare, like char served with buttermilk, radish and herbs and lobster Maultaschen plated in oxtail soup. Expect top-tier food priced in line with the experience.
- Hannoversche Str. 2, Mitte
Eggjoy
True to its name, Eggjoy features egg-cellent comfort food in a cheerful setting. While the egg drop sandwiches are the main draw, the menu also stars dishes like eggs royale on challah and croque forestier, layered with béchamel, mushrooms and melty Emmentaler.
- Köpenicker Str. 10, Kreuzberg
Katzentempel
Berlin just got a whole lot cuter – Katzentempel is here! This cat cafe chain, which originated in Munich, houses friendly rescue cats, while offering a pun-filled menu of exclusively plant-based fare, including banh miau and purrschetta, plus tiramiezu and affo-gato for dessert. Book ahead and request a spot in the main dining area for maximum kitty time.
- Friedrichstr. 153, Mitte
