Review for Lokal, Berlin (Linienstraße)

Lokal in Berlin’s Linienstraße offers a dining experience that perfectly balances modern simplicity with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a minimalist yet cozy interior that reflects the restaurant’s focus on seasonal, locally sourced produce.

I had the pike perch, which was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside, with a delicate balance of flavors that highlighted the freshness of the fish. The dish was thoughtfully prepared, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine without unnecessary complexity. It was easily one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in Berlin.

For dessert, I tried the cheesecake, which was light yet rich, with a velvety texture that melted in the mouth. The sweetness was well-balanced, making it a satisfying but not overwhelming way to end the meal.

The service was attentive and friendly, with staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations. The wine selection complemented the dishes well, offering a range of options to suit different tastes.

Overall, Lokal is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Berlin’s take on refined, ingredient-driven cuisine. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is a spot that truly celebrates the beauty of seasonal cooking.

Overall had a lovely time at Lokal. Started with salmon and bell peppers - the salmon was the pick of the two as the bell peppers was a bit one note after a while.

Mains we opted for the ginuea fowl and pasta. Pasta was a bit meh but the fowl was amazing. Excellent crispy crust and so much flavour. Got the gratin and salad on the side - was a lot of food! Probably would have skipped the pasta and salad and it would have been perfect.

Menu changes often so what we had last night may not be what’s on offer! They have an English menu on the second page of the menu booklet and service was lovely and attentive.

We had a fantastic evening here. Relaxed modern environment with a menu that changes daily. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.  Matt looked after us extremely well and was very interested/knowledgeable in wine - which was the icing on the cake.  Would go back in a heartbeat. Oh - and the food is delicious - lots of fresh flavours and beautifully presented.  Definitely recommend eating here - good idea to book though as it’s quite small.

The food was wonderful, the ingredients and flavors are on point.
The space on the right side (facing the bar) is a bit cramped and very hot and stuffy (even when outside is chilly). I would suggest you ask for a table on the left side of the restaurant.
The service is a bit slow and cold, but not to a point is unpleasant.
We ordered sparkling water, duck breast, mackerel, veal schnitzel, cheesecake, rhubarb, tap beer and cider. It was about €102 and they did tell us we can tip them up front (which is fairly common here as per our experience), but it’s always a bit awkward to tell them the exact amount you are tipping 😅

Overall, we enjoyed the food very much and would recommend this place!

We were here for a business dinner as a large group. As we arrived, the staff was quick to take our drink orders and made us feel very welcomed. The drink, rhubarb spritz was very unique in its taste (different to Aperol) and therefore I would recommend it to Spritz lovers!! The bread in combination with the beetroot dip was absolutely delicious. The appetisers, especially the potato gratin, were also sensational. The Gratin was one of the best ones I ever had as the potatoes were tender and well coated in the cream. The “Schnitzel“ was crunchy and very delicious, however I thought the sides with the Schnitzel were a bit too hard(especially the cauliflower). Nonetheless, the other dishes including the duck and fish were absolutely delicious. All ingredients used for the dishes seemed very fresh, hence the name „Lokal“. The dessert (apple crumble and cheesecake) were also very tasty. My personal favourite was the cheesecake with the berry sauce on the side. Moreover, the staff was very friendly and took their time when taking our orders and were quick to bring out everything smoothly. Additionally, some of us only spoke English. However the waitresses were fluent in both German and English, making it very easy for us to communicate. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys a more „high-class“ German dinner with fresh ingredients as the dishes were absolutely delicious and unique. Definitely a great spot in Berlin!!
