Perched on a granite boulder by the waterfront below the Kastellet fortress, the Little Mermaid gazes out at the sea quiet, bronze and barely 1.25 meters tall. 

She seems delicate and it’s easy to see why she’s known as the smallest landmark in the world.

The sculpture was created in 1913 by Copenhagen-based artist Edvard Eriksen.

It’s a secret world tucked away from the one outside. 

Stepping off Oranienburger Straße, we slip through an archway into the Heckmann Höfe, where a quaint little house awaits us.

Once upon a time, horses were stabled here.

Today, the space feels like a film set straight out of Oliver Twist - red brick walls, gas lanterns, trees, a wooden bench and cobblestones completing the scene.

Inside, bathed in warm light against rust-red wallpaper, everything revolves around the open kitchen. 

The coolest team serves up divine cocktails alongside mouthwatering Israeli mezze. 

Our role simply requires to sit back, soak it all in and savor the night.

• genuine love for the region - game from the Schorfheide forest and vegetables from their own garden

• our nostalgic darling – the solei with Otto's fine bread and kojibutter

Vadim Otto Ursus describes his gem on Oderberger Straße as a small, lively neighborhood restaurant. 

And the description couldn’t be more fitting.

Rooted in regional tradition, close to nature, and stripped down to the essentials - both in its ingredients and its décor. 

Yet, this minimalism is, in truth, a distilled essence of Ursus’ years of experience in some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens - Noma, Maaemo, Koks…

“At the heart of it all is always a really good product. Then it’s about asking what we can do to make that product taste its very best.“, he explains.

Making culinary artistry appear this effortless might just be part of the secret to why dining at Otto feels simultaneously like a cozy meal in your own dining room and a visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant.

• not to forget - be sure to leave some room for Millionaire's Shortbread

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that leave the greatest impression - provided, of course, they’re done just right. 

That’s exactly what makes St. Bart so special.

This pub in the Graefekiez neighborhood radiates an understated charm - vintage pendant lamps, a tiled bar and a timeworn wooden floor that seems to hold countless stories. 

The laid-back crew moves at its own unhurried pace, exuding a calm that’s contagious.

As we sink our teeth into the Back Bacon Sandwich, slathered with homemade BBQ dip and complemented by house-pickled vegetables and sip on a crisp IPA, we imagine black cabs pulling up outside next to a classic red phone booth.

• homemade dumplings and dim sum

• to top it off - tang bao with nougat filling

On the corner of Wrangelstraße and Pücklerstraße in Kreuzberg, the Long March Canteen awaits behind a graffiti-covered facade.

Stepping inside, we’re greeted warmly in a vibrant, electric-blue room illuminated by neon lettering. 

From there, we’re guided through a kind of maze inside the restaurant - black walls, dim lighting, the kitchen hidden behind bamboo blinds. 

A striking mural decorates the space near a glowing red station, where delicate morsels steam away in baskets.

The cuisine is Chinese-Cantonese. 

And we’re eager for an evening of exciting dim sum and fantastic dumplings - all freshly prepared, homemade and delicious.

• magnificent bar in a vault hidden behind ivy

• for lovers of experimentation - mysterious drinks from the coordinate system

• perfect overall aesthetics - the delicate room painting by Laurent Ajina

Tucked away in the enchanted courtyard of the Wilmina Hotel, the Lovis Bar reveals itself behind a black ivy-draped door. 

We descend a few steps into a historic vaulted cellar, where French artist Laurent Ajina has adorned the walls with delicate black lines on white lime plaster, giving the space a distinctive charm.

But it’s not just the design that sets the Lovis Bar apart. The drinks are as artful as the setting - imaginative, intricate concoctions crafted from mysterious, unlabeled bottles, measured and mixed with tiny beakers and pipettes. 

Alongside these exquisite cocktails, the bar serves refined bar food that not only pairs beautifully with the bold drinks but could easily hold its own as a light dinner.

In fact, arriving a little earlier to enjoy all the Lovis Bar has to offer is a highly recommended plan.
