Gugelhof

Prenzlauer Berg


Training the spotlight on Alsatian and southern German food, this jewel made headlines when feeding Bill Clinton back in 2000, and thankfully it hasn’t coasted on its fame since. Chefs still keep things real with robust choucroute (a sauerkraut-based stew), cheese fondue, Flammkuchen (Alsatian pizza) suckling pig and other Alsatian soul food, plus inventive daily specials.
