Barra in Neukoelln's Schillerkiez, on the edge of Tempelhofer Feld, cooks ever-changing shared plates built on local produce with a natural-wine list.
Why locals goThis Neukoelln Michelin Bib Gourmand room in the Schillerkiez holds only 35 covers and takes no walk-ins; it never appears on the tourist circuit.
TipBook at least two weeks ahead via the website; Tuesday and Wednesday are the easier tables.
Engelbecken in Berlin Charlottenburg has cooked Bavarian-Austrian classics with a vegetarian-leaning menu since 1999; the corner room on Witzlebenstrasse.
Why locals goEngelbecken sits on a Charlottenburg corner overlooking Lietzensee in a yellow late-19th-century building most visitors walk past.
TipThe lake-side terrace in summer is the seating to book; phone two weeks ahead for a Friday or Saturday table.
Zur Letzten Instanz in Berlin's Nikolaiviertel has cooked Eisbein and Sauerbraten in the same 1621 tavern room since Berlin itself was young.
Why locals goListed in every guidebook but largely missed by food travellers who stop at Mitte restaurants.
TipBook the small low-ceilinged room rather than the larger hall; it is the original 17th-century space.
Henne Alt-Berliner Wirtshaus on Leuschnerdamm in Kreuzberg has served one dish for over a century: a half-roasted milk-fed chicken with kraut salad and rye.
Why locals goHenne has cooked one dish since 1907 and is barely online. The room has no booking widget; you phone two weeks ahead and ask for the original 1907 dining room.
TipPhone reservations only: +49 30 614 7730. Ask for the original 1907 room when booking; the annex is less atmospheric.
Big Stuff Smoked BBQ inside Berlin's Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg pulls brisket and pork off an 80-kilo Texas-style smoker; the counter runs Wednesday.
Why locals goBig Stuff trades from a single counter inside Markthalle Neun behind an 80-kilo smoker shipped over from Tennessee.
TipBrisket sells out by 14:00 Thursdays during Street Food Thursday; arrive before 13:00 or accept the pulled pork.
Ottenthal on Berlin's Kantstrasse in Charlottenburg has cooked a Vienna-style Austrian menu since 1996; the wine list runs 400 Austrian bottles.
Why locals goOttenthal occupies a wood-panelled Kantstrasse corner in Charlottenburg most Mitte visitors never cross town for. The Austrian kitchen runs Vienna-style schnitzel.
TipClosed Sundays. Lunch from 12:00 weekdays is the easier seating; the candle-lit window tables need a booking two weeks ahead.
