Brasserie 1893 – French Brasserie in Berlin's Tegel | Michelin Recommended

A French Brasserie by the Lake

The restaurant is decorated “with much charm and attention to detail,” echoing the traditions of the old bistros of the French capital.

The sunny, wind-protected terrace offers the full menu throughout the day, with lighter summer dishes available into the late evening. A French wine, a freshly tapped pilsner, or a wheat beer complement the experience. The menu also features Irish beers on draught, including Guinness and Kilkenny.

Its setting in the Tegel excursion mile makes it a popular stop for both locals and visitors exploring the lake and the old town. The interior and terrace are designed for comfort, with air conditioning, wheelchair access, and valet parking available.
