***** (5 stars)

Lovely two-star Michelin on the rooftop. In a glass box surrounded by trees you feel you are in a forest rather than the middle of Berlin. The lighting and acoustics contribute to a perfect atmosphere.

The eight course tasting menu (actually many more dishes) is inventive and beautiful. Standouts for me we're the amuse bouche of coconut foam covered falafel, the osetra caviar, and the shabu shabu. The leek was visually stunning, individual sections, nori wrapped, hollowed out and filled with a variety of creations.

Service is professional yet friendly. And excellent wine list offers some great choices at reasonable prices for this level of dining.

Conveyor belt sushi for a fixed all you can eat price is just one option at this nicely decorated Japanese restaurant. They do a great job of keeping the offerings varied and fresh, and even have some noodle and fried dishes on the belt. Short walk from Brandenburg Gate.

Nice atmosphere, good food and service. There is a ramp on the left of the parking lot if you don't want to climb the stairs.

There is quite a good local non-alcoholic drink that is like sprite with bitters.

***** (5 stars)

Such winning ambience at this traditional bistro near Trafalgar Square and the theatre district. Be sure to ask to sit downstairs in the cozy little rooms!

Standouts we're the escargot and the absolutely scrumptious confit of duck.

The cafe gourmand is a great way to try small samples of all their wonderful desserts.

Service is very welcoming.

Excellent museum for adults and children that clearly tells its chronological story. Lots of buttons to push and things to climb on for the kids, and a deeper level that's easy for adults to absorb through just the right amount of signage. At Coventry Garden for tourist shopping and food, but I recommend walking over to St Martin's Lane for much better dining options.

Always a required stop in London. There's a reason this restaurant has been in business more than thirty years.

Our favorite aspect is that they will give you a blind wine paring, so if you're into wine it is really fun to guess with no preconceived notions. Great service and hospitality.

This has long been our favorite restaurant in London. It’s certainly the most romantic. The food is sublime, the service is welcoming, and the wine list is a vast resource of reasonably priced treasures. This is always one of our stops on every visit to London.
