Umami

Prenzlauer Berg


A mellow 1950s lounge vibe and an inspired menu of Indochine home cooking divided into 'regular' and 'vegetarian' choices are the main draws of this restaurant with a large sidewalk terrace. Leave room for the cupcake riff (called 'popcake'). The six-course family meal is a steal at €23 (€10 per additional person).

There are two other branches in Kreuzberg, including one in the Bergmannkiez and a third at Schlesische Strasse 5.
