The story
Restaurant Château Royal in Berlin serves Mediterranean and fusion cooking at Mittelstraße 41-44, and Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 5 Kochlöffel in 2026. The dining room belongs to the Château Royal hotel, so it runs as an extension of the house, with a bar and courtyard close by.
Norbert Krüger leads the kitchen, and Der Feinschmecker gave the restaurant 3 in 2026 for his cooking. He works classical Mediterranean ideas with an avant-garde streak. One dish pairs half a king quail, seared hard outside and nearly rare inside, with cinnamon-lemon and garlic cream.
Pasta and Salsiccia are made in-house, and the honey comes from the rooftop. The menu shifts with the season, and whole grilled fish from sustainable catch appears on it. In the bar, the Negroni Sous Vide is cooked at 62°C, which draws citrus oils from Amalfi lemon and Sicilian blood orange peel into the drink.

History
Not far from the Brandenburg Gate, guests can choose between homemade Salsiccia or braised veal shank. In the artistically inspired ambiance of the establishment, these dishes pair perfectly with one of the 250 wines.
Concept Colors, shapes, materials – everything in this extraordinary hotel celebrates the bohemian style around 1900. With Norbert Krüger as the new man behind the stove, the perfect culinary counterpart has now been found. Available à la carte. Culinary Style Krüger, formerly at "Fischers Fritz" (The Regent) under Christian Lohse, cooks classical Mediterranean with an avant-garde twist. For instance, when he pairs half a king quail, seared hard on the outside while still nearly rare inside, complete with feet and claw, with cinnamon-lemon, garlic cream, and archaic-salty Colatura di Alici, fermented fish sauce. He garnishes a fillet of skinless dorade poached in the juice of baked cherry tomatoes with caper leaves from Pantelleria. Wine Restaurant manager and Head of Wine Florian Seufer-Wasserthal favors seasoned artisans such as Lichtenberger González on Lake Neusiedl or Domaine Roulot, whose Bourgogne Blanc vintages from 2014 onward are available. Atmosphere A flamboyant yet refined club vibe. Head waiter Amar Mohammed is a delight. Excellent cocktails at the bar. Verdict A delightful oasis within walking distance of the Brandenburg Gate.
Sometimes cozy, sometimes lively, but the living room atmosphere remains. Especially in the fireplace room with an open fire. The cocktail menu features house cocktails, paired with oysters, a sandwich, or pasta.
