The rustic interior of the Restaurant Châlet Suisse with lots of wood and warm light creates a cosy atmosphere that invites you to linger, especially in the colder months. Here you can indulge in authentic Swiss specialities such as raclette, cheese fondue or hearty rösti dishes.

Tip 6: Stop off at the Zollpackhof
After a walk through the wintry Tiergarten you can stop off at the Zollpackhof. The chandelier on the ceiling sparkles invitingly and the fireplace crackles in the centre of the generously furnished room. The renovation a few years ago has not diminished the charm of the Zollpackhof. The enthusiasm for Bavarian friendliness is part of the establishment's philosophy and you can feel this when you visit the restaurant in Mitte. While the beer garden has a relaxed flair in summer, it is particularly cosy in winter.
Where: Elisabeth-Abegg-Straße 1, Tiergarten
When: Daily 12 - 11 pm

Next to the crackling open fire, you can make yourself comfortable in the cosy faux fur seating areas. And while you're sitting in front of the fireplace, you'll forget that you're sitting in a restaurant in Berlin and not in a mountain hut.
