OrderThe four-course tasting; the sea-bream crudo and whichever offal main is on are the signatures.
TipClosed Sunday and Monday. Walk-ins for the counter seats from 19:00; tables need a booking two weeks ahead.
Lutter und Wegner on Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt has cooked the city's traditional Wiener Schnitzel since 1811; the wood-panelled room runs the long lunch.
