Mrs Robinson's
An ambitious Asian-fusion restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg from Samina Raza and Ben Zviel, where a long tasting menu plays out to a vinyl soundtrack.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling as a couple and you are traveling solo.
Why
- 01
Far more polished than its low-key Pappelallee address suggests — Raza and Zviel send out a dozen precisely plated Eurasian courses, sustainability-minded and sourced from local farms, with records spinning and warm, clued-in service.
Our read - 02
It feels like a serious kitchen having fun rather than a casual neighborhood drop-in.

The plates that decide it
- The 'Infamous' Fried Chicken & Caviar Bao — the house signature — a steamed bun of crispy fried chicken and caviar, sweet-and-spicy
- The full chef's tasting menu — around a dozen courses; the kitchen is built to choose for you
- Coming as a large group — the room and format suit two to four, not a big party
Plan it well
- Cost
- Mid to upper-mid; small plates add up
- Allow
- 1.5–2 hours
