Zwiebelfisch — Restaurant in Berlin

A true Berlin classic at Savignyplatz. Zwiebelfisch has that authentic retro charm – posters, postcards, and international banknotes on the walls give it a very unique character. It’s not fancy, but that’s exactly the point – a relaxed spot where you can have a beer, a glass of wine, or a late-night snack.

Unbelievable. Too bad, because the bar has a nice atmosphere, but the service...
