Berlin goes away empty-handed: Online ranking triggers discussion about legendary restaurants

Berlin has developed into a true culinary hotspot in recent years and can easily keep up with cities like New York, Naples or Istanbul. Whether in Moabit, Kreuzberg or Charlottenburg, there are numerous restaurants in the German capital that can inspire with their specialties. Nevertheless, none of the well -known Berlin restaurants made it into the ranking of the 150 most legendary restaurants in the world.

Only three restaurants from Germany made it to the list. The Munich Hofbräuhaus landed in ninth place, followed by the morning at the cathedral in Cologne in 53th place and the Nuremberg Bratwursthäusle in 55th place. Curry 36, Konnopkes snack or Mustafas Vegetables Kebab, which are popular with tourists and locals, are not represented in this list.

The testers of the online food guides "Taste Atlas" placed particular emphasis on the presence of an "iconic court" for which the restaurants are famous. The testers were not only concerned with eating well in these places, but that the restaurants become independent travel destinations, comparable to famous museums, galleries or monuments.

The restaurants selected by "Taste Atlas" have opposed the zeitgeist and dispensed with trendy gadgets to offer traditional and high -quality cuisine. In addition, the selected restaurants are viewed as the cultural landmark of cities and regions.

The Hofbräuhaus in Munich was selected due to its famous pork knuckle. The court embodies the culinary tradition of Bavaria and is worshiped due to its strong taste. The food bloggers find praise for the perfectly cooked pork with a golden, crispy rind, which is served with traditional side dishes such as potato dumplings and sauerkraut. The Hofbräuhaus is not only a symbol of Bavarian gastronomy, but has also achieved international level of awareness. There is an offshoot of the Munich original in Berlin, near Alexanderplatz.

The Sauerbraten from Cologne and the sausages from Nuremberg were also praised by the food guides. Unfortunately, however, you are looking in vain for the Berlin kebab, the original currywurst or the classic bouletting with potato salad in the list of "Taste Atlas".

in second place is Katz’s Delicatessen in New York City. The restaurant has been serving the typical New York cuisine since 1888 and the pastrami rye sandwich has achieved cult status. Generations of guests were convinced of this perfectly cast, smoked and seasoned pastrami on rye bread. Katz’s Delicatessen has become an integral part of the cultural structure of New York City and is valued worldwide for his commitment to traditional preparation methods.

The top 50 of the list also include restaurants from Bali, Mexico City, Naples and Dublin. A total of five times Italian pizzerias or trattories were selected, as well as five snacks and restaurants from India. The oldest restaurant on the list is the Bracen Head Pub in Dublin, which has been served Irish Stew for 825 years.

other surprises on the list are Caru 'Cu Bere from Bucharest in seventh place, known for his Romanian cabbage roulades and soups, and U Fleku in Prague in eighth place, known for his Czech beer and the timeless, rustic charm of the food hall.
