Berta Restaurant

Assaf Granit's restaurant near the Gropius Bau, named after his Berlin grandmother: kubaneh, kreplach and an evening that becomes a party.

With Berta, a stone's throw from the Gropius Bau, Israeli Michelin-starred chef Assaf Granit has dedicated a restaurant to his Berlin grandmother. The interior mixes modern chic with grandma's living room, marble and mid-century furniture with lace doilies and old family portraits.

The cooking is rooted in Eastern European traditions and builds a bridge to the flavours of Jerusalem. There is kugel, kreplach and kubaneh, family recipes with influences from Germany, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, octopus, or for dessert mousse au chocolat with olive oil, salt and cardamom-coffee crumble. Israeli pop comes from the open kitchen, and as the evening goes on the lights dim, the music rises and dinner turns into a party. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 6 pm.
