Lorenz Adlon

This is the most elaborate and formal restaurant in Berlin, with superb cuisine, a discreetly wealthy clientele that tries hard to keep their names out of the newspapers, and a decor that evokes the grandest imperial days of the European (especially French) monarchs. It occupies a site one floor above the lobby of the also-recommended luxe hotel, with windows that overlook the Brandenburg Gate, richly oiled walnut paneling, black-and-white marble, and draperies that seem like monumental works of art in their own right. If the dining room is crowded, you can also opt for seating in either of two smaller and somewhat cozier rooms, the Kaminzimmer and the Bundeszimmer. Every dish on the menu is carefully crafted, often prepared according to a creative recipe. Sample such delights as Norwegian codfish with pineapple and Périgord truffles, or whole seared Atlantic sole with truffles, or organically raised lamb with Oriental spices, or perhaps the corn-fed chicken baked under a salt crust and served with Périgord truffles and fresh artichokes.
