CODA Dessert! Heard of it? If not, you’re about to. This Berlin hotspot has that secret-club energy, the kind of place you don’t just go to. Picture this. You wander down a quiet alley. You spot an unmarked door. You push it open. Bam! You’ve gotten into that restaurant. Yes, one of the best restaurants in town.

The interior is calm and very cool. You will find style without trying too hard. No need to nod seriously at the wine list or pretend you taste “oak and sunshine.” The menu takes vegetarian food way beyond basic, turning humble veggies into total scene-stealers. Each dish looks like art and tastes even better (and yes, your phone will eat first).

CODA Dessert pulls off a mix of creativity and comfort, along with some fancy. Perhaps you’re a devoted vegan or you are even a curious meat-eater, you’ll walk out full and happy. This may be just a bit smug, knowing you’ve uncovered one of Berlin’s best-kept secrets.
