Midtown Grill Berlin: New York Steakhouse with Lava Stone Grills and Dry-Aged Cuts

Fire, Lava, and the Butcher Counter

Midtown Grill operates near Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, channeling New York steakhouse energy into the capital's Mitte district. The kitchen relies on multiple heat sources to texture each cut differently. A lava stone grill renders meat from Argentina, New Zealand, and the USA into a crisp crust while keeping the interior juicy, according to the 2026 Schlemmer Atlas which awarded the restaurant one and a half cooking spoons. The menu offers cuts prepared over glowing charcoal or finished in the signature X-Oven. At the heart of the dining room stands the Fleischerei, a transparent butcher counter where diners choose their filet weight and cut size directly from the staff before handing it off for preparation.

Signature Plates and Sweet Ends

Starters feature seafood tartar and carrot preparations alongside classic American cold cuts. Main courses highlight the grill's output, supported by a signature four-course menu that guides diners through a curated progression. This tasting format is available in a standard version or a vegetarian alternative priced at 55 euros per person. Desserts stay simple; the New York cheesecake offers a dense, creamy conclusion to the meal. Families and corporate groups can book the Midtown Best Of set table, which delivers grilled highlights simultaneously for parties of four or more.

Open Kitchen and Summer Terraces

An open kitchen allows diners to observe the cooking process, complementing the visibility of the butcher counter. On sunny days, seating moves to a summer terrace where guests enjoy meals outdoors. An Early Supper service runs daily from 5 to 7 pm, offering selected classics at lower prices with a separate kids' menu for younger visitors. Private dining arrangements support corporate gatherings and celebrations for up to 24 people, ensuring the full menu remains accessible for larger reservations.
