It took a while to get a restaurant like Grill Royal to the German capital, a city more familiar with white glove gourmet dining than glamour-minded institutions. But alas Grill Royal arrived and has since been one of the city’s top draws for celebrities and socialites.  Its magical dining room is tailored between an elegant bar and lavish outdoor terrace overlooking the Spree River that’s one of a kind in the city. Despite its meaty steakhouse ways, a whimsical décor of quirky antiques like a vintage motorboat and pop art like a bar-top Tyrannosaurus Rex surround an elegant main dining room with cushioned banquettes and circular booths.

The Food

A classic steakhouse menu with a few German anomalies begins with freshly shucked oysters, tuna or beer tartare and top-notch grilled octopus cooked to perfection. Soups and salads include fresh gazpacho with yogurt dressing or lobster bisque followed by signature Grill Royal salad. Main course offers a selection of German, American and Austrian meats as well as Irish lamb and Australian Wagyu in variations like a classic fillet, American porterhouse and T-Bone. Side accompaniments include sweet potato fries, mashed potatoes and spinach in addition to sauces like habanero and peppercorn.

Last Word

Scene-driven steakhouse with pop art and lounge offers one of Berlin’s top tables with summertime terrace overlooking the Spree River.
