With its neutral tones and soft lighting, this fitness space in the middle of bustling Mitte could be a photography studio. But don't be fooled, you will get your sweat on! The friendly team  show visitors around ahead of pilates and strength classes and the running club always draws a cool crowd. Take your time after you've boxed your heart or found your flow – the changing facilities are top tier.  

This cosy German restaurant is housed in a converted former brewery, but it's not all pints on their lovely courtyard terrace. Order the signature slow roasted pork.

We think we have found the best meat shop in Berlin, if not in all of Germany. With less mainstream cuts of high quality meat & exceptional imported beef, this is the place to get your meat for your next dinner party. 

Bandol sur Mer is an elegant modern French bistro serving fresh, innovative dishes. Ever popular with Berliners, it's ideal for fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Can't get a table? Try their sister restaurant next door.
