Straßenbahndepot Heiligensee
An old transport building on Reinickendorf's fringe: picturesque courtyard terrace, regional cooking with international craft, from Müritz char on.
Straßenbahndepot Heiligensee is a German restaurant, priced 40–80 €. Open Mon-Wed closed, Thu-Fri 16:00-22:00, Sat-Sun 12:00-22:00.
On Reinickendorf's northern fringe, the Straßenbahndepot occupies an old transport building — an address that earns the journey out from the centre.
The picturesque courtyard terrace alone is reason to make the trip: mature greenery, a quiet inner yard, far from inner-city bustle. Inside, the tasteful rooms carry the historic shell forward without dressing it up. The kitchen thinks regional with international craft: produce from the surrounding area becomes plates that want more than safe home cooking. Smoked char from the Müritz lake stands in for the whole approach — short distances, clear provenance, smoke as the finishing touch.
