5 - cinco by Paco Pérez - Berlin

I have dined at many amazing restaurants around the world and I easily rate this as one of the best dining experiences of my life. Dining at this restaurant is a "must do" experience when in Berlin.The restaurant and ambience is gorgeous. The staff are attentive, interested, engaging and knowledgable. The food was spectacular. Incredible combinations of visuals, flavours, temperatures, and textures. I had the degustation with matching wines. I loved not knowing what the next dish would be (I don't eat red meat, however this was easily accommodated by the restaurant). The sommelier added enormously to the experience. She knew so much and was willing to share her extensive knowledge with me. The degustation is not cheap, but it is bargain for what you get. I will be returning when I am in Berlin!

One of the best restaurants I have been to . The food was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful. They had a gin there called GUL that I had not seen before; it is well worth a try.

First of all, I did not expect my good friend who would bring me to this hotel - Das Stue !The hotel is a contemporary one and the decoration is outstanding! When I arrived at the restaurant, the centrepiece did draw my attention. Of course, the semi open kitchen was one of the highlight too.I also found that the staff was very helpful and profession. Special thanks to the sommelier as she did recommend a very good Riesling to us. I do look forward to returning this restaurant again in the near future!

Some people writing here comment about the service quality and the wine pairing - I cannot join that chorus at all (which is good as I really cannot sing!). During my visit, the food was excellent (8 courses plus the usual appetizers and petits fours), each course had an interesting touch to it and I would say that this is the Spanish version of the more Germany-focussed Skykitchen. The lady responsible for the wine pairing was very knowledgeable about the wines she served and if you wanted more than a glass, you could ask for it. But be careful, 8 courses mean more than a bottle of wine at the end of the evening! So I do really not understand those critics who complain about "not enough to drink". Overall, this was an excellent evening, full enjoyment and I will be happy to come back asap! Thanks to kitchen and service for this great experience.

I was here with a group of work mates and were served a tasting menu. The service was amazing but the food was really spectacular. A must if you're in the area.
