A great BierGarten in Kastanienallee, unfortunately when we went there it was raining so we had to sit inside. The place is very Bohemian-like .The people are almost exclusively locals (they were actually surprised to see tourists there). The food is just GREAT. Going to a Biergarten one expects the fatty German food. But everything was just delicious, from the Goat cheese salad, to the mushrooms, the divine potatoes and the lamb with Bier sauce. They had a good selection of beer, and it wasn't very expensive

"Typical" Berlin food at Alexanderplatz? Go figure.
We didn't stop the first time we saw this place. But the second time we passed was around lunchtime and we were both quite hungry. A tipoff that it wasn't a typical tourist hangout was the absence of English or any language other than German on the menu. But I'll bet the waiters speak reasonable English.
If the weather hadn't been so sunny and warm-not hot- we would have eaten inside. Inside are dozens of pictures of Berlin, mostly old photographs. I loved it, I would recommend eating in the restaurant just for the comfortable and interesting atmosphere.
Both of us enjoyed our dishes. My husband didn't pass up the chance to have liver, one of his favorites. My fish, served whole with toasted almonds, apparently a typical way to serve this dish, was delicious. Cucumber side salad was made with fresh dill, a bit sweet, and lots of fresh onions. Terrific.

Very good food. Typical German dishes with a LOT of sausages, shnitchel and other meats, cooked surcrut and LOWENBRAU bier of course.
All that in a traditional bavarian style tavern (stuben)
Friendly staff, very good service, average prices
The cooked saurcrut (pickled cabbage) think was cooked with apples and tomato sauce. Definitely was fan-taste-ic Theme: LocalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Back of HiltonHotel - Near Gendarmen MarktDirections: Close to STADTMITTE metro station (U-Bahn)

To get this straight: In my book, the only thing typically German is to consider almost everything "typically German".
When it comes to dine in a "typically German" restaurant, it is likely, that you will end up in a place, frequented by tourists more than Berliners.
There's a reason why few restaurants serve "typically German" food. This "poor man's" cuisine has lost its attractiveness since wealth has grown somewhat since the end of WWII. Jounger Germans (as well as those in the menopause) are more fond of Austrian, Mediterranean, French, Asian and even American food - as long as the respective meals match local taste. In Berlin, locals typically enjoy meals that could be considered "international" but adapted to local taste.
Berlin has never been the epitome of German cuisine anyway. South-west Germany is different: Spätzle, Maultaschen, lentil stew and what not have survived for a reason. But Berlin? Currywurst anyone?
You might think that there has to be a restaurant that focusses on traditional, local cuisine and is not frequented by tourists. There is, and if you don't mind if the restaurant is "upper class", my first suggestion would be "Restaurant Zander", Kollwitzstraße 50 (subway station: Senefelder Platz, Tuesday - Sunday from 6 p.m. on). Zander serves regional cuisine, hence their menue doesn't always read very mouthwatering, but they know what they do. (Main courses: € 20 - 30, 4-course menue ~ € 45).
Right across the street is Guggelhof. Here, the chef focusses on the three-country-corner (Germany, France, Switzerland), most notably the Alsace - which is French, yes ... still ...
Still you shouldn't wipe Gugelhof, less noble than Zander, from your list. And they open on Mondays, too. Ask for their English/French/Italian/Spanish (pick one) menue (Main courses: € 10 - 20).
From a restaurant to a pub: Deponie (see tip). Deponie is no place to really go dining, but being economy class, it is closer to being "typically Berlin". (€ 5 - 12)

http://www.deponie3.de/ Theme: LocalDirections: Zander & Gugelhof: Take the U2 (direction: Pankow), exit at Senefelder Platz (5-minute-ride from Alexanderplatz). You'll find Zander on the right-hand side of Kollwitzstr. before Kollwitzplatz. Guggelhof is located at Kollwitzplatz. For Deponie see tip.

Whenever I go to Berlin (or to our friends, living north of Berlin) I need to have at least one of those famous Curry wurst from Krasselts. People are queuing up for this delicious 'snack food'.
More about Currywust:
Krasselts Imbiß,
Bestofthewurst
The Currywurst comes in three flavours: Mild, sharp and extra sharp.
If you had one, you will never forget the taste again.
Therefor I created this Curry News Leave a Comment Theme: Fast FoodPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterAddress: Steglitzer Damm 22, Steglitz-Zehlendorf, BerlinDirections: Steglitz

Lovely little restaurant and shrine to Kurt Tucholsky. I've passed it many times and thought it was closed. Took the plunge this year and wasn't disappointed. Service was good for mitte and the price was about average. If your fed up with South East asian fare then stop in and have a try of the menu. Decor was typically german with dark panelling everywhere and the choice of music set the tone well.
Knuckle of pork with sauerkraut mash potatoes and sweet mustard. The apple strudel looked goo as well.

You cant miss it due to the beer garden. It sits on a busy street but has a pleasant enclosed area to sit outside if you wish.
