Now here's a twin-Michelin-starred restaurant we can get our mind around. Unstuffy ambi-
ence and subtly sophisticated design pair perfectly with Raue's briliant Asian-inspired plates
that each shine the spotlight on a few choice ingredients. Various taste sensations - sweet
and salty, mild and hot - play off each other in perfect harmony. The Peking duck is a peren-
nial bestseller. Popular at lunchtime, too.

Plush luxury is the mojo of the Bebel Bar at the Hotel Rome, where the
Mad Men
crew
would fit right in. Try a Roccos Mule, a heady mix of brandy, plum, fresh raspberries, lemon
and spicy ginger. On balmy nights, the action moves to the rooftop terrace.
It has great views of the Berlin Cathedral and the ballet of construction cranes currently
hovering over historic Mitte.
