Luncheonette on Grunewaldstraße: comfort food, changing pies and Leberkäse, wine and snacks from Thursday afternoon.

Tamara von Siedentopf and Brienne "Brie" West met in London over lunch at BAO and later both moved to Berlin. In June 2025 they opened Onette on the corner of Grunewaldstraße and Gleditschstraße. The name comes from the luncheonette, the American mix of diner, café and snack bar, and the models are New York luncheonettes, Berlin corner pubs and Toronto's diner culture. The architects Bates Rai combined listed pharmacy tiles with cherry-wood booths, small mother-of-pearl lamps, stainless steel and a large mirror above the bar.

The food is comfort food: home cooking, brunch classics and seasonal specials, with around three quarters of the menu vegetarian. Popular are Leberkäse with potato salad, the changing pies and a crispy potato special that often sells out faster than it can be made. Thursday to Saturday from 3 pm a small snack menu replaces the day menu, and there is wine. Guest chefs regularly take over the kitchen for an evening.
